Chapter 89 - 89: Without you, She Has Nothing Left
Li Yan fell silent.
The assistant was afraid that he had provoked Li Yan. He said nervously, “I mean, Miss Bai is a little insincere, but at least I can tell that she truly loves you.”
Li Yan asked, “How can you tell?”
His assistant replied, “Because without you, she has nothing left.”
Li Yan sneered. “There are still many men chasing after Bai Xue.”
His assistant asked, “How many of them are comparable to you? Only Jiang Jun comes to mind. However, he’s now facing difficulties, and he can’t even protect himself. I’m sure Miss Bai will never stay with someone who has nothing.”
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, “Bai Xue used to be obedient and sensible.”
His assistant said cautiously, “Isn’t it because you’re doing everything she wants? This time, however, you didn’t support her in Yue Ling’s matter. In addition, Miss Jiang exposed her and forced her to publicly apologize. Since you couldn’t help her, of course, she’s still very dissatisfied with you.”
Li Yan scoffed. “I didn’t help her? I told her to change schools, but she still refused me.”
His assistant said, “Young Master, there’s only one reason why Miss Bai doesn’t want to change schools. She’s seeking revenge! Don’t pretend you didn’t notice.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. “Is that so?”
In truth, he really hadn’t thought of that.
His assistant affirmed, “Definitely. Haven’t you realized it? You’ve always supported Miss Bai, while Miss Jiang always ends up being tormented.”
Li Yan pondered and said, “Jiang Ling’er isn’t the one suffering these days.”
His assistant said calmly, “Isn’t it because Miss Jiang no longer cares about you? In the past, she was always afraid of making you unhappy, so she chose to swallow her anger. Now that she no longer cares, of course, she will retaliate against Miss Bai.”
Li Yan was doubtful. “Are you sure?”
He thought, ‘Did Jiang Ling’er really swallow her pride because she cared about me?’
His assistant hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Young Master, Miss Bai dares to cause so much trouble because she knows you will always support her.”
Li Yan said coldly, “So the reason Bai Xue changed is me?”
His assistant shook his head and said, “Of course not. Miss Bai was never innocent in the first place.”
Li Yan asked doubtfully, “What do you mean?”
The assistant immediately said, “I think Miss Bai probably learned about you from Jiang Jun. After winning your love, she immediately announced your relationship to Miss Jiang. Think about it. Since Miss Bai snatched you from Miss Jiang, of course, the two of them would be irreconcilable.”
Li Yan frowned and said, “You’re telling me that Bai Xue knew that I was engaged with Jiang Ling’er, and she deliberately did everything to steal me away?”
His assistant said, “Yes. Miss Bai always talks about wanting to be friends with Miss Jiang ‘again’. But doesn’t this mean they have been friends before? So why did they fall out with each other? Of course, it’s because Miss Bai stole Miss Jiang’s fiance, you. Moreover, Miss Bai spread rumors that Miss Jiang is a woman who intends to steal away her boyfriend. If you were Miss Jiang, would you still be friends with Miss Bai?”
Li Yan asked hesitantly, “Perhaps Bai Xue only learned of my situation after we started dating?”
His assistant said with a smile, “Young Master, you shouldn’t to lie to yourself. If Miss Bai really doesn’t know anything, why would she want to be friends with Miss Jiang ‘again’? Before you announced your relationship with Miss Bai, Miss Jiang had told you that she was irreconcilable with Miss Bai. This proves that Miss Bai had already told Miss Jiang about your relationship with her before you did.”
His assistant stopped for a moment before continuing, “Think about it, Young Master. Every time Miss Bai acted pitiful, you sided with her and dealt with Miss Jiang. Over time, Miss Bai became more and more conceited. Then, there was also Jiang Jun. Since he wanted to please Miss Bai, he kept targetting and hurting Miss Jiang. This made Miss Bai feel invincible.”
Li Yan was speechless for a long time.
Seeing Li Yan like this, his assistant said guiltily, “Young Master, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything.”
Li Yan said sadly, “1 was too blinded by my love for Bai Xue.”
His assistant replied, “Young Master, as long as you don’t regret your actions, everything will be fine.”
Li Yan sighed. “Thank you for clearing my doubts. 1 have nothing else to say. You should find something to eat.”
His assistant nodded. “Understood. How about you, Young Master? What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
Li Yan pondered for a moment before saying, “Just get the usual. Thanks..”
