From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids-Chapter 187 Wen Xing’s Childhood Friend

Jiang Duoyan laughed bitterly, "What else can I do? If he stays by your side, perhaps there's still a chance he will be awakened by you."

Wen Yue, hearing this, looked at her.

"Jiang Duoyan, it's me and Lu Zhichen who have wronged you."

Jiang Duoyan smiled, "You don't need to apologize to me. I should be the one saying sorry to you. If it weren't for me, you and Lu Zhichen wouldn't have been separated for so long."

"Moreover..."

She smiled, "I later realized that I didn't actually like him that much."

Wen Yue stared blankly, looking at her with confusion.

Jiang Duoyan liked Lu Zhichen; she had always noticed it in her eyes.

She liked him for so long, and today she told her that she didn't like him that much?

Jiang Duoyan saw Wen Yue's surprised gaze and said, "I didn't expect it myself."

"When I saw you today, standing confidently and composed in front of me. You are the eldest daughter of the Wen Family and the future successor of the Wen Family. At that moment, I suddenly realized that my relentless pursuit of Lu Zhichen back then, pestering him relentlessly, was all because of my own dissatisfaction.

You're so ordinary and plain, why would Lu Zhichen choose you and not me? I couldn't accept this disparity, so I opposed you in every way, envied and framed you. I just wanted to prove to myself that I wouldn't lose to someone who was inferior to me in every way.

Every time I suppressed you, Lu Zhichen would come out to protect you. This made me even more jealous and made me want you to leave Lu Zhichen's side even more.

However, every time I bullied you, I found that no matter how much I tormented you, you never held a grudge against me. You could still smile and face life strongly. At that moment, I felt like I had lost, but I didn't want to admit I had lost until I finally forced you to leave. I could finally achieve my wish, yet Lu Zhichen got into a car accident..."

Wen Yue listened, falling into a long silence.

Before leaving, Wen Yue couldn't help but glance at her legs.

Jiang Duoyan noticed her gaze fall on her legs and smiled self-deprecatingly, "This might be my retribution."

Wen Yue brought Lu Zhichen's body into the car.

Su Xingwan watched her, remaining silent.

"Are you still thinking about what Jiang Duoyan said?"

"...Mm."

Su Xingwan patted her head, "Don't think about it. Fortunately, the outcome isn't bad now."

Wen Yue took a deep breath and nodded.

"Mm."

She looked back at Lu Zhichen, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and worriedly said, "Now, where should I put him? If I take him back to the Wen Family, if my grandfather finds out, he'll definitely throw Lu Zhichen out."

Su Xingwan: "I can't keep him at my place either, I only have two rooms, it's inconvenient."

Wen Yue sighed.

Su Xingwan thought for a moment, "This body belongs to Lu Zhichen. Why not take him to Wen Xing's place? That way, he won't easily be noticed when he wakes up."

Wen Yue's eyes lit up, "That sounds right, just leave him at his own house. He can take care of himself."

Then, Su Xingwan turned around, staring intently at Lu Zhichen's body for a long time.

Wen Yue: "What are you looking at? You've been staring for so long?"

Su Xingwan furrowed her brows, "You all say he looks like his brother, but I don't see it."

Wen Yue laughed, "Don't you know that only those who are closer can see the differences between two people?"

Su Xingwan was taken aback, then realized what Wen Yue meant and turned her head away.

Wen Yue leaned closer to her and smiled, "So, Xingwan. You still like that Lu Yun in your heart, don't you?"

Su Xingwan remained silent and didn't refute.

Seeing this, Wen Yue said, "If that's the case, why did you break up with him? It's okay to argue, but you shouldn't casually mention breaking up."

"...I." Su Xingwan opened her mouth, recalling the things he used to do to her on a whim.

Finally, she said, "Maybe he doesn't like me."

Wen Yue was surprised, "You actually think that? Although I haven't met that Lu Yun, just the fact that he sends you three meals a day is sincere enough. Which man would go to such lengths?"

"And if he didn't like you, how could he persistently do all these things for you? Moreover, all those meals were made by him personally, which is even more rare."

"I've even heard from Lu Zhichen that his brother spends every day in the company's kitchen, studying recipes to make dishes for you."

"Not only that, ever since you two broke up, Lu Zhichen said his brother became a bit crazy during that time, always wearing a sullen face. Once, he even got scolded by his brother when he went to see him."

"And Ye Yixing also got a good scolding, he later didn't dare to provoke him until he calmed down by cooking and delivering food to you every day."

Su Xingwan was slightly surprised.

These were things she really didn't know.

Lu Zhichen, waiting in the apartment for Ming Yue's call, heard the doorbell ring and rushed to open it.

Standing at the door wasn't Ming Yue, but Wen Xing's childhood friend, Hua Manzhi.

She was holding a lunchbox and smiled at him, saying, "I made some extra food and brought some for you."

Lu Zhichen looked at Hua Manzhi, "I already told you, you don't have to bring me meals anymore."

Hua Manzhi, hearing this, felt a twinge of disappointment in her heart.

Soon, she masked her unhappy emotions and said, "The day before yesterday, your parents called me to ask if I could bring you home for a meal tomorrow, you..."

"You just go by yourself; I'm too busy here." Lu Zhichen ignored her and turned his head back into the living room.

"Wen Xing, you promised before to go back home with me..." Hua Manzhi said.

Lu Zhichen paused, "Maybe next time, I'm really busy lately."

Hua Manzhi was silent, "How long until next time? Wen Xing, you haven't paid attention to me for a long time. Obviously, you used to..."

Lu Zhichen looked at her and sighed.

"Hua Manzhi, I'm really stressed lately. Why don't you wait for a while before reaching out to me again?"

Hua Manzhi stood there, looking at the now unfamiliar Wen Xing, whose eyes no longer held love for her.

"Wen Xing, do you hate me?" Hua Manzhi could no longer hold back and her eyes reddened instantly.

Lu Zhichen couldn't stand seeing women cry, hurriedly pulling a few tissues from the dining table to hand to her.

"I... It's inconvenient. Really inconvenient. Wait for a while, and that Wen Xing who likes you will be back, just be patient."

Hua Manzhi's teary face showed confusion.

Lu Zhichen checked the time on his watch, guessing Ming Yue would arrive soon. If she found a woman at his place, there'd be more misunderstandings.

He quickly pushed Hua Manzhi's shoulder towards the door, "You should head back first. Come by next time; I'm really busy today and can't talk."

With that, he closed the door immediately after escorting her out.
