Chapter 804: Chapter 534: It’s me, I ruined his life! _1

Li Weihuan left Bai Yuchuan’s apartment, hailed a taxi on the street, and when asked by the driver where was he headed, he furrowed his brow, unsure of the answer, instructing the driver to start driving anyway!

He took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up as he rolled down half the car window and began smoking. The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror, but said nothing!

Upon finishing his cigarette, the driver posed the question again, “Young man, have you figured out where you’re headed yet?”

His gaze faltered a little and asked the driver to wait for a moment, then made a call. The call was answered soon after.

Twenty minutes later, Li Weihuan was at the apartment where Yan Chenqing was living with his girlfriend.

Since his girlfriend was in class, only Yan Chenqing was home.

Yan Chenqing got a couple of beers from the fridge, but he shook his head, “No more drinking!”

He had had enough the night before, genuinely did not want another!

Yan Chenqing did not push, instead, he passed him a glass of warm boiled water and squinted his eyes at him, “So, what’s bothering you?”

Li Weihuan took a sip of the warm water, his view seemingly fixated on the coffee table, while Yan Chenqing waited patiently for him to speak.

After a while, Li Weihuan started speaking, “A while ago, I received an email that said there was a box under Xiaobai’s bed and the password was my birth date. The person who sent the email asked me: In what circumstance would one set another person’s birthday as a password?”

“I remember, the email was sent late at night. That day in the afternoon, my grandpa gave me twenty percent of the shares in KING Group, telling me that I couldn’t refuse. That was when I knew, my grandpa didn’t trust me or rather, nobody trusted me!”

“I didn’t know what to do. I thought getting engaged to Yi Mu might be the quickest and most effective decision that would put everyone at ease. I told my grandpa, but he refused. However, I had already made up my mind. Then at night, past midnight, I saw the email. After reading it, I was left in confusion!”

“…” Yan Chenqing looked at him without saying a word.

“The email was sent by Lanlan!” Li Weihuan continued, “I spent the whole night pondering over it. The next morning, I called Lanlan, inquiring about the whole situation. I wanted a clear answer, I don’t want to guess. Then, she told me everything!”

“She said, she liked Xiaobai, probably for about four years. But when she was about to confess her feelings to Xiaobai, you interfered. She cried. She bawled her eyes out on the phone. She said, ‘Weihuan, do you know? Xiaobai isn’t normal. He loves you even though you’re a man! She asked, ‘Why? Why do you have to be a man? This reality has even taken away my courage to fight for him!'”

Yan Chenqing squinted his eyes, lit a cigarette and asked him, “Then? Do you believe her?”

“I don’t!” Li Weihuan protested, “Even if her words seemed heartfelt, I still don’t believe her…I can’t muster the courage to believe…How can it be possible? Xiaobai… Xiaobai is my best friend. How could he…I don’t believe it. I’m convinced she was lying. “But do you know what Lanlan said?”

“She said, she wished that she was lying to me! She also said that she had given up on Xiaobai a long time ago. But recently, while talking to an old man in his fifties from her neighborhood, who had never married because the person he loved got married to someone else, she came to know that, the person the old man had loved, was in fact a man! She said, at that time she cried a lot because she thought of Xiaobai. She didn’t want to see Xiaobai continue like this any longer. If he loved someone, at least I should know, no matter what decision I make, at least I ought to know, there was a man who loved me for fifteen years! She pleaded with me to save Xiaobai! To help him!”

Li Weihuan remembered that day when on the phone, Lan Qiqi was crying frantically!

But he didn’t know what to do!

Save Xiaobai? How was he supposed to save him?

That night, he lay in bed staring at the ceiling. The image of his fifteen-year friendship with Bai Yuchuan, kept looping in his head over and over, seemingly unending!

Then he reached a hand up to touch his own face, realizing that there were tears!

For several days afterward, he didn’t see anyone. He didn’t even know how he had spent his long vacation.
