The unbearable truth

  After leaving the church, Lan Ruoxi got into the car and sped away again.

  The noble Mercedes sped along the highway, but Lan Ruoxi didn't know where to go. No matter how strong she was, after being betrayed in love, she couldn't truly remain unmoved.

  The car turned a bend and then another, soon it would be out of the city limits.

  "Happy Sheep, Beautiful Sheep...... Grey Big Wolf, Red Big Wolf......" The mobile phone ringtone sounded again.

  Lan Ruoxi slowed down the car, freed up one hand to take out her phone, and without looking at who was calling, pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear, saying in a low tone: "Hello."

  "Ruoxi, where are you?"

  Huo Dongming's low and concerned voice came through the phone.

  At this time, listening to He Dongming's kind and concerned questions, Lan Ruoxi felt as if she was shivering with cold in the depths of winter, and He Dongming suddenly gave her a thick down jacket, making her feel warm all at once.

  Undeniably, He Dongming, her future brother-in-law, really cares about her. Although she and her sisters grew up with the He brothers since childhood, and now He Dongming is dating her sister and they are already discussing marriage, He Dongming's extra care for her has not changed since childhood, and now it is even more justified as he will soon become her brother-in-law; a brother-in-law is like a father, so it is only natural that he cares about her.

  "I'm going home now."

  Having been hurt, home is her best haven.

  "I'll wait for you at your place."

  "Ho Dongming, don't worry about it, I'm fine. You forgot, I've always been a strong and independent woman of the new era." Lan Ruoxi forced out a smile as she said this to Ho Dongming on the phone.

  Although she was heartbroken, she wanted someone to accompany and comfort her. She also didn't forget about He Dongming's identity as her future brother-in-law. Even if her sister didn't say anything, she didn't want to take up He Dongming's time. In the early morning, when she bumped into him rushing out in a fluster, it had already taken away some of his attention from her sister, and she felt a bit guilty about it.

  Because every day when her sister wakes up, the first person she sees is He Dongming.

  "I'm driving, don't say anything more." Lan Ruoxi didn't wait for Huo Dongming to speak again and hung up the phone decisively.

  On the other end, Huo Dongming heard the "beep" of a disconnected call on his phone and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said in a low voice, "This girl, still trying to trick me at this time."

  He put down his phone and quickly turned the steering wheel, heading in the direction of Haoting Garden.

  Lan's Villa

  The top floor of the main house has an open-air swimming pool, not very big, but the water is clear. Next to the swimming pool are two lounge chairs, with a white jade-like stone table placed between them.

  Lan Ruoxi lay on one of the lounge chairs, quietly gazing up at the azure sky, with a few rays of scorching sunlight sprinkled on her body, yet she didn't feel the slightest bit hot. Her mind kept replaying that piercing scene, and by her ears seemed to still echo the ruthless words of Leng Tianye.

  Three years of romance, the cold Tianyan who said he would love her for a lifetime, actually said she had been pestering him all along. In front of so many people, he ruthlessly trampled on her dignity.

  She should have slapped him hard at that time!

  The sky was bright and sunny, with a gentle breeze blowing, making it a perfect autumn day. However, Lan Ruoxi felt an unusual chill.

  Is it really that hard to find true love? If she were to look for a boyfriend as the second daughter of the Rong family, others would definitely be after the Rong family's wealth and her feelings would be compromised. This kind of thing is often portrayed on TV. But she hid her identity, and now others think she has no money and can't let her partner struggle less and live more comfortably for a few years.

  Money is important, she knows, but can money swallow up true love? Isn't it said that true love is priceless?

  "Do you want to cry?"

  Suddenly, a low voice came from behind her, and in an instant, his tall figure sat across from her.

  "What's wrong?" Lan Ruo Xi didn't look at him, her eyes cast down, and she asked in a hoarse voice.

  Will crying make Tian Ye turn back?

  She had already shed tears in the church just now.

  Even if it hurts a lot in her heart and she wants to cry loudly, but with a strong personality, she doesn't want to shed tears for that unfaithful man again.

  "A woman who has lost love, doesn't she want to cry? " Huo Dongming stared at her intensely, she thought he couldn't guess the reason, and now still wanted to hide it from him?

  Lan Ruoxi suddenly turned her head to look at him, receiving his slightly excessive gaze. She looked away and said in a low voice: "Dongming brother, you know everything?" She no longer suppressed the pain in her heart, and her tone revealed her distress.

  "Dong Ming-ge, I gave him my true heart, but... why did he... I don't even know when he started walking with Shen Rou." Because they worked together at Huan Yu Group, she and Leng Tian-yan could meet every day and gather together. She really didn't know from what time on Leng Tian-yan had been two-timing her, and in the end abandoned her after three years of dating.

  Doesn't three years of feelings have any place in his heart?

  He Dongming didn't say a word, he took out his mobile phone, and his slender fingers moved back and forth on the screen. Before long, a message was sent out quietly.

  Two minutes later, he received a reply.

  After reading that message, he handed his mobile phone to Lan Ruoxi and said, "Ruoxi, take a look. The man you truly loved betrayed you from the very beginning."

  Lan Ruoxi's eyes swept away, and after seeing the few lines of response on his phone screen, her face suddenly turned pale, her red lips trembling, tears swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She bit her lower lip tightly, not letting out a sound.

  Leng Tianyang had been two-timing from the start, on one hand indulging in her beauty and openly dating her, while on the other secretly wooing Shen Rou and having an underground affair with her, to the point where they had already eloped.

  It suddenly occurred to me that in the company, whenever I met Shen Rou, the other party would always speak rudely to her, even humiliating her. It turned out that they regarded her as a love rival.

  When she thought that Leng Tian Ye was truly in love with her, Leng Tian Ye had actually finalized the wedding date with Shen Rou, but still wanted to deceive her, probably thinking of making her his mistress.

  How hateful!

  How hateful!

  Leng Tian Ye, you're actually so heartless!

  At this moment, Lan Ruoxi had completely given up on Leng Tianye. What she hated the most was a man who juggled two relationships at once.

  "Want to cry, then cry, I'll lend you a shoulder to lean on." He Dongming got up and walked in front of her, squatting down and offering his sturdy and broad shoulders for her to lean on. His deep, dark eyes locked onto her pale face as he said with a playful tone.
