She trusted Mu Jing Chen so much, only to be met with such deception in the end.
Yan Xi had even broken ties with Fu Yan Ting for Mu Jing Chen, but it all turned out to be a charade orchestrated by Mu Jing Chen himself.
Yan Xi walked alone on the streets, lost and disheartened. She wanted to apologize to Fu Yan Ting, but now, she didn't know how to face him, or even how to call him.
Just as Yan Xi was sinking into despair, she encountered He Yun.
He Yun was still as gentle and refined as he was five years ago.
Upon seeing Yan Xi, the joy in his eyes was undeniable.
Five years had passed, and he never expected to reunite with Yan Xi on the streets of Yan City.
The regrets of the past filled He Yun's heart at this moment.
He Yun got out of the car and walked up to Yan Xi, trying his best to hide his inner delight, and proactively said, "Xi Xi, long time no see."
After five years apart, He Yun truly seemed like a changed person.
Yan Xi didn't recognize him at first glance.
He Yun feigned disappointment and said, "Five years ago, you and Fu Yan Ting had a falling out, and you even asked me for help to leave his side. What, have you forgotten me now?"
"He Yun, it's you. I can't believe how much you've changed after five years. I almost didn't recognize you."
Hearing He Yun say that, Yan Xi indeed remembered. She looked at He Yun and said softly.
He Yun wouldn't dare to blame Yan Xi. Being able to reunite with Yan Xi was already a great fortune for him.
He Yun sized Yan Xi up. Five years had passed, but time had left no mark on Yan Xi's face.
Yet, he no longer deserved to stand by her side.
Thinking of this, He Yun inexplicably felt a sense of loss.
Yan Xi, however, didn't notice He Yun's dejection. She said softly, "He Yun, I heard that you..."
"He Yun, is it because of this woman that you want a divorce from me?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out from behind Yan Xi. Then, before Yan Xi could react, the woman strode over and raised her hand to strike Yan Xi. But as she raised her hand, He Yun grabbed her wrist.
Yan Xi looked at the woman before her. She was quite pretty, but her temperament was rather fiery.
Yan Xi looked to He Yun for help.
He Yun said with a helpless expression, "Xi Xi, it's a long story. I'll tell you when I have the chance."
Yan Xi nodded. She wasn't particularly interested in other people's affairs, and hearing He Yun say that, she didn't press further.
Qiao Wei snorted coldly and said irritably, "He Yun, why don't you dare to tell her that I'm your wife? What are you afraid of? Afraid she won't be with you if she knows? Or afraid it will affect your standing in her heart?"
Yan Xi hadn't paid much attention to affairs in Yan City during her five years away, so she was unaware of He Yun's marriage.
Now, seeing He Yun's distressed expression and Qiao Wei's shrewish questioning, Yan Xi sensed that their marital relationship was not good, and Qiao Wei seemed to have misunderstood her relationship with He Yun.
Yan Xi was about to explain.
Qiao Wei spoke first, "He Yun, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You've been pestering me for a divorce lately, but it's because she's back. Let me tell you, she's Fu Yan Ting's woman. My sister already told me, she went to Fu Yan Ting's office to find him. You'll never be able to get between her and Fu Yan Ting."
What Qiao Wei said was true.
Even without Qiao Wei, Fu Yan Ting was He Yun's brother, and He Yun couldn't have any feelings for Yan Xi.
But knowing it was one thing, hearing Qiao Wei say it here now, He Yun felt inexplicably irritated.
He disregarded everything else and slapped Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei, struck by the blow, lost face and left in tears.
He Yun looked at Yan Xi and said with some embarrassment, "Xi Xi, I'm sorry. You just happened to witness such a family misfortune right after meeting me."
"You... are married?"
Yan Xi asked cautiously.
He Yun nodded.
"Are you and your wife not getting along?"
"Didn't you see it? We have different philosophies. I want a divorce, but she refuses, and it's been a stalemate. We had already reached an agreement, and who knew that today she would run into me chatting with you and mistakenly think I had another woman, causing you to be implicated as well."
Hearing He Yun's words, Yan Xi didn't know how to respond.
She just couldn't understand why, out of so many people in the world, some found divorce easy, while for others, it was harder than climbing to heaven.
Yan Xi didn't expect Qiao Wei to let it go after leaving. Instead, she contacted Fu Yan Ting through Qiao Xue.
When Fu Yan Ting received Qiao Wei's call and heard that Yan Xi was once again entangled with He Yun, and that He Yun was even divorcing Qiao Wei for Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting sneered.
Yan Xi really couldn't stand loneliness.
To get away from Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi wasn't picky at all; married or unmarried, as long as it was a man, it was fine.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan Ting recalled what Xia Shi Xue had told him: Yan Xi had given birth to his child simply to extort Fu Yan Ting.
A woman like that didn't deserve to bear his child.
Fu Yan Ting had initially felt indifferent, but now that Yan Xi had reached such a shameless level, Fu Yan Ting couldn't let the child continue to live with Yan Xi.
He also wouldn't give Yan Xi any opportunity to extort him.
With that thought, Fu Yan Ting contacted a lawyer and drafted an agreement.
Fu Yan Ting drove to find Yan Xi with the agreement.
at the He family residence, Fu Yan Ting saw Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was chatting with He Yun in the courtyard.
Fu Yan Ting walked over with a cold smile.
He Yun and Fu Yan Ting had undergone secret training together, so his perceptiveness was on par with Fu Yan Ting's.
Hearing footsteps, He Yun turned around. Upon seeing Fu Yan Ting, He Yun said joyfully, "Yan Ting, you're here too. It's perfect, I met Xi Xi on the street today. We haven't had a good chat in so long."
Yan Xi, standing nearby, froze when she heard He Yun call out the name. Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting and He Yun had a very good relationship.
But Yan Xi hadn't expected to encounter Fu Yan Ting at the He family residence.
Seeing Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting's lips curved upwards, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Fu Yan Ting said indifferently, "Yan Xi, you're really promiscuous. What, Mu Jing Chen alone can no longer satisfy you?"
Yan Xi knew that Fu Yan Ting had always misunderstood her, but she hadn't expected him to speak such hurtful words to her without regard for their past relationship.
