Chapter 199: How could there be 199
Chen Xu thought to himself, it seemed that woman had left a deep psychological shadow on Xiyun. Curiously, he asked, “What’s her name?”
As he asked this question, his eyelids suddenly began to twitch uncontrollably.

At the same time, he heard someone coming down the corridor, footsteps already close. He faced in the direction of the corridor, and Luo Xiyun stood before him, perfectly blocking his view.
For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, unsure if it was the twitching of his eyelids or the footsteps behind Luo Xiyun that gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
He wanted to turn his head to look, but a voice in his mind stopped him from acting on impulse. He didn’t move and watched as Luo Xiyun’s mouth began to move, the name about to emerge from her lips.
“Xiyun, I never expected you to gossip behind people’s backs,” a woman’s voice tinged with mockery came from behind her.
When Chen Xu heard that voice, his mind exploded, yet his consciousness was extremely clear, vividly seeing the expression on Luo Xiyun’s face freeze, her gaze turning to shock.
She slowly turned around, somewhat at a loss for words, “You… how are you here…”
Chen Xu also saw the woman behind her, that familiar face, which gave him a moment of dizziness.
Before coming here, he had indeed thought he might run into her. But he never expected she would appear in this capacity, standing in front of him and Luo Xiyun.
In an instant, he seemed to understand many things he previously couldn’t make sense of.
Why she had left without a goodbye.
Why Luo Zhenghai was so against him being with Luo Xiyun.
Turns out, she had been married. Though her husband was dead, the inheritance remained in her hands.
And moreover, her husband was Luo Zhenghai’s younger brother.
In other words, she was Luo Xiyun’s aunt by marriage.
At this moment, he supposed to be in extreme shock, yet his mind was extremely clear, sorting through the whole situation in a short amount of time, including her relationship with Luo Xiyun.
Standing before him and Luo Xiyun was none other than Yang Jinxia.
She was dressed in a black sleeveless top with matching black trousers underneath, accentuating her fair skin. Her hair had grown longer and was put up, adding a certain mature elegance and an aggressive beauty. It was just like the impression he had when he first saw her on the street.
She looked at Chen Xu, her glance flickering, and said softly, “You’ve lost weight.”
Chen Xu had imagined many times the scenario of meeting Yang Jinxia again and thought of many opening lines. But under such circumstances, he found himself speechless.
On one side was his current girlfriend, on the other, his ex-girlfriend. And between them, a bond of kinship. He truly didn’t know what to say.
Not speaking, the atmosphere immediately fell into silence.
Luo Xiyun felt confused when she heard Yang Jinxia speak to Chen Xu; how could they know each other?
Yang Jinxia usually kept out of sight, rarely appearing in public, and with Chen Xu’s social circle, there should have been no intersection between the two.
Her gaze swept over their faces, and she noticed immediately that the way Yang Jinxia looked at Chen Xu was off, causing her alarm. An incredible thought popped into her mind.
No, it couldn’t be possible between those two, could it?
She found the idea preposterous.
Yet, she couldn’t help but look at Chen Xu, and seeing his silent reaction, her heart began to sink.
It was Yang Jinxia who broke the silence, “What’s the matter, feeling guilty because I caught you red-handed?”
Chen Xu heard the underlying meaning in her words and couldn’t hold back any longer, asking, “What do you mean?”
Yang Jinxia sighed, “You went behind my back and found another woman. Of all people, you had to choose my niece…”
“Isn’t that nonsense?”
Chen Xu saw that she was distorting the facts and felt a surge of anger rising within him, saying, “We had already broken up, and besides, I didn’t know about your relationship with her beforehand.”
Yang Jinxia spoke softly, “I never said I wanted to break up with you. I just needed to leave for a while to deal with some matters…”
“So, you changed your phone number, blocked me on WeChat, quit your job, and completely vanished from the face of the earth?”
Chen Xu had been considerate of Luo Xiyun just now, but now, with the fire stoked by Yang Jinxia, he couldn’t hold back any longer and let all his thoughts spill out. “Is this what you call ‘just leaving for a while’? Have you ever considered how I felt?”
Yang Jinxia looked at him with a pitying gaze and sighed, saying, “In this world, there are always things beyond our control.”
“They’re all excuses.”
Chen Xu looked at her, his face pained. After calming down a bit, he said, “In your eyes, your status, your career, your wealth, they’re all more important than me, aren’t they?”
His voice was soft, and his tone relatively calm. “I can understand and accept that. But if you’ve made a choice, then don’t waver. That’s not your style.”
After finishing his words, he took the hand of Luo Xiyun, who had been silently standing by, and said, “Let’s go.” They walked past Yang Jinxia, who was blocking the door, and left.
Behind him, Yang Jinxia’s voice rang out, “Chen Xu, I will never give up on you, not in the past, not now, not ever.”
Chen Xu didn’t stop or look back, just kept walking outside.
Yet, the scenes from his dreams couldn’t help but surface in his heart, where she stayed by his side, gravely injured and possibly never waking up, in that empty shelter for over a hundred days.
What kind of determination and belief had she held at that time? What feelings did she harbor for him?
He felt somewhat lost.
…
“Mr. Luo, they’ve left.”
Sister Lin came out from the side and spoke to Yang Jinxia, who was standing on the balcony.
“Mm.”
Yang Jinxia turned around and said, “Let’s go, let’s go see my grandma.”
Sister Lin glanced at her cautiously and couldn’t help asking, “Aren’t you angry?”
“Angry? Yes.”
Yang Jinxia sighed for what felt like the umpteenth time that day and said, “But what he said isn’t wrong. Everything I have now was left to me by my grandma, and I really can’t bear to just give it all up.”
She murmured, “This is what my grandma fought for her entire life. If I just gave it up, wouldn’t her lifelong efforts be in vain? Wouldn’t all the hardships I’ve endured for so many years be for nothing?”
“So, I can only forgive him.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. They’ll break up sooner or later.”
Lin Nai said, “Indeed, Luo Zhenghai will never agree to them being together.”
“It’s one aspect that Luo Zhenghai disagrees, but more importantly, my niece isn’t like me—she’s someone who can’t tolerate any wrongdoing. That jerk, he’s going to have a hard time.”
Seemingly thinking of something amusing, a smile appeared on her face.
PS: This chapter was hard to write, so it’s late.
