Chapter 345: What Were You Doing at the Time?
Mu Huan was stunned. The person who had made Professor Wang include her name on the victims’ list was Huo Yuqi’s brother?
And Bao Junyan had beaten him up badly?
Immediately, Huo Yuqi regretted having said this. It would make Mu Huan feel that her cousin cared so much about her and that would make the girl even more arrogant!
Hence, she quickly corrected herself, “My cousin is purely being protective. It’s not like he did it because he really likes you!”
Mu Huan saw through that at once and smiled without saying anything.
That both embarrassed and angered Huo Yuqi though, and she said, “Anyway, the person that my cousin loves is Sister Ling Wei! If you don’t want a troublesome future and miserable days, it’s best that you leave my cousin immediately! Don’t stay where you don’t belong!”
“What sort of person do you think your cousin is?” Mu Huan suddenly asked.
Caught by surprise, Huo Yuqi replied, “Why do you ask that?”
“I am curious if, from your perspective, your cousin is a foolish person.”
“What are you talking about?! Why would I feel that my cousin is foolish?! He is the smartest person in the world! No one is smarter than or better than he is!” Huo Yuqi idolized Bao Junyan too. Hence, she felt that the only person good enough for Bao Junyan had to be her other idol, Ling Wei.
From a young age, she had idolized the couple and felt that they were a match made in heaven. Because of them, she believed that there was a love more perfect than what they wrote about in storybooks. They were more perfect than all the other perfect things in the world added up!
“Since you don’t think that your cousin is foolish, then why do you think that the person he loves most is Ling Wei? If your cousin really loves Ling Wei like you think he does, would he have abandoned her and just married someone that he doesn’t love, all because they had a disagreement and because the girl he loves had gone to help the sick and needy?” Mu Huan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Although she didn’t know what Bao Junyan was like before, she felt that he wouldn’t have been too different from now. Being the strong-willed and intelligent person that he was, would he have given up on Ling Wei just because of this, if he had really loved the girl?
There were two possibilities why he had given up on Ling Wei. One, he had never really loved her so he didn’t feel it was a great loss; or two, they didn’t break up over a simple reason like that.
She hoped it was for the first reason that they had broken up.
Huo Yuqi was stunned by her words. After a while, she said, “My cousin loves Sister Ling Wei the most! Because he loves her so much, he was devastated when she rejected his proposal. His male ego and dignity couldn’t accept it, and that was why he gave up. All these years, although my cousin did not say it, we know that he had been waiting for Sister Ling Wei. I believe when Sister Ling Wei returns and apologizes to Cousin, they will get back together again!”
“If your cousin had been waiting for Ling Wei, he wouldn’t have married me.” Mu Huan felt that if Bao Junyan really loved Ling Wei and was waiting for her to return, he wouldn’t have agreed to blind dating and getting married.
He was a person who knew what he wanted and was a ruthless go-getter. There was no way he would be passive and waiting.
“He married you because my uncle is in bad health. He’s afraid that he’ll never see a grandchild. That was why he kept pressing my aunt to force my cousin to go on blind dates!”
On this note, Mu Huan was curious and asked, “Since your uncle and aunt wanted your cousin to get married because of your uncle’s ill health, then why didn’t all of you contact Ling Wei at the time and ask her to come back and marry Bao Junyan? Why did you wait until he had gotten married and are now demanding that I give up my place?”
