A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1720 - 378: Never Turning Back Until Hitting a Brick Wall (Twenty-Eighth Update)
"Get out." Yan Ke’s gaze was cold, making Ma Shuangshuang’s heart skip a beat, a feeling of humiliation arose spontaneously.
Unable to stay any longer, Ma Shuangshuang turned and fled.
"Wait." Yan Ke suddenly spoke up.
A flicker of hope rose in Ma Shuangshuang’s heart.
But soon, that glimmer of hope crumbled into nothing.
"If I hear anyone slandering Sister Yun Ya again, whoever it is, I won’t let it go."
Ma Shuangshuang ran off with a pale face.
Yan Ke shrugged at Yun Ya: "Sister Yun Ya, I’m sorry about that."
Yun Ya smiled: "Who can blame me for being too beautiful, inciting jealousy?"
This kind of narcissistic remark seemed utterly natural when Yun Ya said it.
Ji Shan said to Yan Ke: "It was my oversight, I’ll have a good talk with her later."
"Miss Ji, I’m sorry for startling you, it was my fault." Ji Shan apologized.
Yun Ya replied with a smile: "It’s alright, I didn’t take it to heart."
"Sister Yun Ya, let’s go."
Yun Ya and Yan Ke walked out side by side, Yan Ke whispered: "Ma Shuangshuang is a close friend of Meng Junci, if it wasn’t for Meng Junci’s instigation, that woman wouldn’t dare say such things."
Yun Ya smiled and said: "I know."
Yan Ke turned his head to look at Yun Ya, "Sister knows?"
Yun Ya smiled and said nothing.
Yan Ke said: "Our older brother isn’t here right now. If he were to come back and find out you were bullied, Meng Junci wouldn’t get away with it."
"The matters between us women, you men shouldn’t interfere." Yun Ya said lightly.
Yan Ke pouted: "Alright then, but if you’re being bullied, you must tell me. I’ll have your back; since my brother isn’t here, I’m your support now."
Yun Ya smiled and patted his shoulder: "Hmm, such strong shoulders...."
Yun Ya lightly patted him, making Yan Ke sway backwards, truly strong...
Yan Ke: "...!"
The next day, being Saturday, Yan Xing came over with her books to seek Yun Ya’s help with her studies. With Yun Ya’s tutoring and her own hard work, her grades soared rapidly, placing her in the top ten of her grade. Compared to her previous poor performances, it was a remarkable improvement. Even the teachers suspected she was cheating. With her improved results, she gained confidence and headed towards a bright future.
"My aunt came over today, crying so much it was annoying. My mom is always worried about my older sister’s issues, nowhere near having the time to listen to her ramble. So, my mom just cried with her; that scene...." Just thinking about it was exhausting.
Yun Ya held Wei Xuan’s small hand and wrote a "Meng" on the rice paper: "How is Miss Meng now?"
"What else, she’s lost an arm and hides at home all day without going out. At first I visited her, but then I couldn’t be bothered. Because I find Meng Junci weirder and weirder, a bit afraid of her now, I simply stopped getting close."
She knew that Meng Junci blamed the loss of her arm entirely on Sister Yun Ya. She wasn’t blind; before the horse race, it was clearly stated to bear the consequences, and if one was inferior in skill, one had to accept it rather than pinning the blame on others. She despised such people. Reflecting deeply, she realized that when Sister Yun Ya first arrived, Meng Junci would say ambiguous things that made her target Sister Yun Ya. She trusted Meng Junci too much, allowing herself to be used foolishly. In hindsight, she’s somewhat embarrassed to face Yun Ya and even more annoyed by Meng Junci.
Did she like Second Brother? Clearly, later on, she shifted her affections to the Big Brother, pretending to be so devoted. Spitting in disgust, she thought that people like her, playing the hypocrite and pretending to be virtuous, are exactly like that.
"It’s understandable that Miss Meng momentarily couldn’t think straight; hope she can gradually work things out on her own. When people get stuck on something, they won’t turn back even if they hit the wall... or rather, even after hitting it fatally, they won’t turn back."
"Sister Yun Ya, don’t speak for her. I heard about what happened last night. That Ma Shuangshuang is her close friend—daring to slander you in front of so many people. Without Meng Junci’s words in her ear, she wouldn’t have the guts even if you gave her ten more lives."
Yun Ya helplessly said: "She lost an arm; it’s pitiable already. I understand her actions and wish to forgive her until she causes more harm."
Someone like Meng Junci is like having a toad stuck on your foot—annoying but not biting.
"Sister Yun Ya, it’s hard for you to still think about her, she’s an ingrate. I trusted her so much in the past for nothing."
Yun Ya smiled, bowed her head, and earnestly taught Xuanxuan how to write.
Three days later, Zhuang Xiyue and Yan Nanmo went abroad together, Yun Ya watched the private jet disappear into the horizon, the contrail leaving a white streak against the blue sky, and sighed deeply.
