“Come, Young Master Gu is not around, so everyone can let loose and have fun. Let’s not go home tonight without getting drunk!”

Ye Ming stood at the door, listening to everything. The classmates who used to be courteous and friendly in front of him all seemed to have changed into their new faces now. They showed their hideous fangs and hateful expressions, mercilessly tearing apart the fake illusions like a group of dancing demons. PtOrBX

Ye Ming suddenly pushed the door open!

The door suddenly opened and the cold air from outside gushed inside. Everyone inside the smoke filled room turned their head toward the door. All of them were dumbfounded with words stuck in their throats, unable to speak anymore. The expressions on their faces became ridiculously distorted.

Zhang Hongzhi looked at Ye Ming in shock. He stood up suddenly and he lost the usual calmness in his voice. “Y-Young Master Gu…how come…”

Ye Ming stared at him with the rims of his eyes turning red and his lips slightly trembling. qzf6HN

He swept his eyes across this group of people, the group of friends that he had always trusted and relied on. In front of him, they were such good friends…but he never knew that behind his back, they’d been making such malicious and despicable remarks about him.

Making those…filthy statements that he could never have imagined.

It was as if he didn’t know them at all.

It turned out this was the truth. So this was how others talked about him…behind his back…

Ye Ming slowly walked over and bent his body over the couch to take his mobile phone that was left in between the cushions. His voice was slightly trembling as he tried extremely hard to remain calm. “I forgot my phone.”

He turned around and walked out as soon as he finished speaking.

Before Ye Ming could take a few more steps, Zhang Hongzhi finally reacted and dashed outside to stop him. He said hesitantly, “You, you’ve heard everything?”

Ye Ming didn’t even look at him. He turned around and walked away. TH3tx

Zhang Hongzhi tried to stop him again and said anxiously, “Wait.”

Ye Ming glared at him. His eyes were fierce but fragile at the same time. His eyes were wet with tears and he was like an anxious rabbit, forcing itself to extend its claws desperately as he said in a hoarse voice, “Go away.”

Seeing Ye Ming reacting in such a manner, Zhang Hongzhi could finally confirm that he had heard everything. His face turned pale and he really wanted to give himself a few slaps across the face! It was all because he had gotten too familiar with Ye Ming and he had let his guard down that he made such a careless mistake.

“It’s not what you think, listen to me—” Zhang Hongzhi was growing more anxious. qTPG3s

Ye Ming smiled suddenly. “There’s no need for that. I’ve heard it clearly. There’s no need for you to repeat it again. Also, when I called you yesterday, I was in front of the office. What I didn’t expect was that you were there to meet my uncle.”

I never expected that you were actually judging me like this.

Ye Ming stared at him and put on a sad smile. “Really? I got it.” EP8ohl

Zhang Hongzhi’s heart kept sinking. His hands were trembling slightly out of fear…of course, he was not afraid of Ye Ming. It was Lu Xiuwen whom he was afraid of.

He had totally messed things up. With Lu Xiuwen’s character, would he forgive him? Zhang Hongzhi didn’t dare to have such extravagant hopes, nor did he dare to pay the consequences.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ye Ming pronounced each word clearly, “Please step away. I want to go home. Otherwise, I’ll tell Uncle that all of you were talking behind my back.”

Zhang Hongzhi took a step back in fright and let out an embarrassed smile, “Young Master Gu, can you please…not tell President Lu about all this…I beg you.” 9RxUAN

Ye Ming felt his heart go cold and he was utterly disappointed. He turned around and left. This time, Zhang Hongzhi didn’t dare to stop him.

He went straight into the car when he arrived downstairs. When the driver saw Ye Ming in such a state, he frowned and asked anxiously, “Young Master Gu, what happened to you?”

Ye Ming rubbed his face with his sleeve and said, “Nothing. Let’s go home.”

The driver dared not ask more and carefully drove Ye Ming home. He immediately called Lu Xiuwen to inform him about the strange situation. Sure enough, Lu Xiuwen quickly hurried home. jylO7f

Ye Ming knew that Lu Xiuwen would be home very soon. After all, everyone around him was an accomplice of Lu Xiuwen’s. He had planted all of these people.

First of all, Lu Xiuwen exposed his identity to his school and alienated him from his original friends so that Zhang Hongzhi could approach him, guide him, and control him…He planted his accomplices all around him, spying on his every move.

That’s right, that drunk incident at the bar. It turned out that he had set it up…

Ye Ming was the only one who was acting like a fool, being deceived and yet still feeling grateful. CXZmGO

Ye Ming watched as Lu Xiuwen rushed in. This tall and handsome man made him so sad that he almost couldn’t breathe anymore.

When Lu Xiuwen saw Ye Ming’s eyes, his expression immediately became solemn. He sensed something wrong with Ye Ming’s expression.

He slowly walked over and with a gentle expression. He asked, “Weren’t you going out for dinner with Zhang Hongzhi tonight? Did he upset you?”

Ye Ming stared at Lu Xiuwen’s gentle and tolerant expression. Whenever he felt helpless and sad, Lu Xiuwen always comforted him like this and gave him support, making him feel that he was not alone and helpless. But now…he only felt cold all over. That gentle smile had turned hideous, and Lu Xiuwen was terrifying, like a cold-blooded beast wearing a mask. pXc4CT

He couldn’t see his true face clearly.

What he had thought was true was all fake.

Ye Ming’s chest heaved and his lips parted slightly. This was the first time he said something that was laden with sarcasm. “If he has upset me, you can replace him with a new friend who can make me happy, right? Anyway, friends are easily replaceable when you no longer like them anymore.”

The smile on Lu Xiuwen’s face immediately vanished. 4B2gvw

He’d already realized that something was wrong the moment he saw Ye Ming just now. And what Ye Ming said confirmed this. Something must have happened today. But Lu Xiuwen was uncertain how much Ye Ming had found out.

Lu Xiuwen paused and probed gently, “It seems like you don’t like him anymore.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ye Ming stared at him coldly and said, “Zhang Hongzhi lied to me yesterday. He said that he was heading home. But in fact, he was meeting you. I saw it with my own eyes.”

When Lu Xiuwen heard this, his expression became even more solemn. But in fact, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. If Ye Ming had merely found out about this, it was not hard to deceive him. ud ZY8

He was quiet for a while. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I actually wanted to understand your situation from him. I never expected that he would lie to you.”

When Ye Ming heard Lu Xiuwen’s answer, the last sliver of hope in his heart disappeared.

He was unwilling to believe those people’s malicious words, unwilling to believe that Lu Xiuwen was such a person, playing such tricks on him. But up to this point, Lu Xiuwen was still trying to deceive him…

Similar to Zhang Hongzhi, he just briefly used the pretense of ‘care’ to cover up what he had done. HFZ0A1

Did Ye Ming’s life, his friends…not even matter to him?

The sadness in Ye Ming’s heart was about to overflow. But what saddened him the most was…when he thought about it carefully, hadn’t Lu Xiuwen always been like this?

When Ye Ming was upset over his identity being exposed, he was there to comfort him. When Ye Ming was feeling down over his friends distancing themselves from him, he seemed to be caring for him sincerely. When Ye Ming was…drunk and bullied by others, he still appeared beside him, caring for him.

He had always been caring for him…but hidden underneath was a cold scheme that couldn’t see the light. bgZ5uS

The care that he had trusted with all his heart had slowly changed into something he no longer recognized. None of the words spoken by this person were real.

He had been lying to him all along. If it weren’t for him, he would not have lost his friends and wouldn’t be alienated or harassed by anyone…He would hurt and lie to you first, then he would appear with a caring facade so that you would fall in love with him.

In this world, how come such a despicable liar existed?

Moreover, could one believe in the love that came out of the mouth of such a person? What sort of love was supposed to be like this? This simply was not love, this was possession. ju2RiF

Lu Xiuwen’s deception was a hundred times more painful than the ridicule and mocking words from Zhang Hongzhi and the others. Because this was the person that he trusted wholeheartedly, the person that he trusted would never hurt or deceive him. But it turned out that this was the person who deceived him the most.

Even all of this was a plot that he had set up, a scheme. Watching him act like a fool, a prey, obediently entering his trap.

Lu Xiuwen had always thought that everything was under control. But at this moment, as he stared at Ye Ming’s increasingly cold, sad, and distant eyes, he finally had a feeling that things were gradually spiraling out of control…It was the same as the previous life; things suddenly slipped beyond his control when he didn’t expect it.

He reached out his hand to hug Ye Ming, drawing him into his arms. He gazed deeply at him. “Xiao Ran, what else have you heard?” 8AgiXK

Ye Ming struggled to open his mouth while he stared at him coldly. “Whatever needs to be heard has been heard.”

Lu Xiuwen stiffened. His heart sank slowly. After a long while, he said, “Are you willing to hear it from me personally? I’ll tell you everything that you want to know.”

However, Ye Ming suddenly broke free from Lu Xiuwen’s embrace. He stared at him with furious, disappointed, and pained eyes. He said in a hysterical voice, “I’ve told you, I know everything! You’re a liar!”

Liar… 2g1Tc6

Lu Xiuwen’s face turned slightly pale and he looked at his empty arms. This was the first time that Ye Ming had refused him like this.

Ye Ming stared at Lu Xiuwen and couldn’t hold back his tears. Everything was a lie, everything was a lie. The person that he was so in love with was a lie…this home…the place that he really loved was now like an exquisite cage that this man had built for him.

This wasn’t what he wanted. And this wasn’t the love that he had in mind.

This was a scam that was carefully planned. Gmxdjh

Lu Xiuwen’s eyes became darker and he clenched his fists. He had not expected that Ye Ming would find out about this now. He didn’t even expect that his reaction would be so intense or that he would be in such a rage…He thought that he had time to let Ye Ming slowly rely on him more, until he couldn’t do without him.

“Xiao Ran, listen to me.” Lu Xiuwen struggled to speak in a gentle voice. He reached out to grab Ye Ming’s hand.

As Ye Ming stared at Lu Xiuwen’s hand, he was thinking that this person wanted to do what he’d previously done once again. He wanted to deceive and control him, right? He used to trust and rely on him. But now, he only felt that this person was scary and unfamiliar. Pain and rage invaded his chest.

Ye Ming suddenly pushed off Lu Xiuwen’s hand! He spun around and walked out! 5VXmur

He wanted to get away from this place!
