Wen Yu arrived at the restaurant just as she was ready to take the stage.
Jiang Rui didn't entangle much ; he waited until Wen Yu ended her shift before making plans to see her somewhere else.
Wen Yu consented to tutor Jiang Sheng since she was obedient and well-behaved.
Jiang Rui offered a large amount of tuition. He even paid two months' fees in advance, alleviating some of Wen Yu's financial stress.
She knew it deep down in her heart. Jiang Rui was assisting in a different way. Wen Yu might have rejected in the past, but she couldn't afford to be self-conscious now.
Aunt Ruan was nowhere to be found when Wen Yu got home from work.
Aunt Ruan assured Wen Yu that she will be back soon. Aunt Ruan returned after around 30 minutes, and it was only then that Wen Yu noticed her arm was swelled on one side.
"What happened to your arm?" Wen Yu assisted Aunt Ruan in sitting.
Aunt Ruan responded casually, "Old people just get more useless ."
" My arm swelled abruptly as a result of doing some job." Wen Yu's heart dropped.
Aunt Ruan's hand was quickly checked by her.
She discovered multiple blisters, each gleaming brightly, on her once-delicately manicured palm.
Wen Yu was taken aback.
For a long time, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Wiping them away haphazardly, she couldn't held with her emotions. She applied medication to Aunt Ruan's wounds and took out ten thousand yuan for household expenses.
She refused to let Aunt Ruan work outside again.
That night, Wen Yu cried for a long time.
Early in the morning, her dark bruises were prominently visible, and no amount of concealer could cover them.
During breakfast, Aunt Ruan instructed her, "If your body can't take it, do less. If necessary, I'll sell that small apartment too. Thing just can't get worsen. "
Wen Yu reassured her, "After this period, it'll get better. Aunt Ruan, I'll take care of myself."
Aunt Ruan didn't say anything more!
After finishing breakfast and tidying up, Wen Yu went to work at the music center.
As soon as she clocked in, a colleague quietly informed her, "Miss Luo is looking for you! Wen Yu, if you don't want to see us, just say you're on leave."
Wen Yu was taken aback, then she saw Luo Chen.
Wen Yu didn't resent Luo Chen, but she also didn't want to engage with her. She had to trouble her colleagues.
But Luo Chen spotted her.
Luo Chen confidently approached, her demeanor carrying a touch of coquettishness, "Wen Yu, I'm curious why you refused to play the piano at my birthday party? Do you not like me?"
After her query, silence settled around them.
All the colleagues at the music center knew about Wen Yu and Guo Xiang's relationship.
Guo Xiang's fiancée still wanted Wen Yu to like her, which was too cruel for Wen Yu.
The sympathetic and pitying looks made Wen Yu extremely uncomfortable.
She softly said to Luo Chen, "I happened to have something that day. Miss Luo, I'm sorry, but you might want to find someone else." Luo Chen wasn't willing to give up.
Wen Yu went to work, and Luo Chen waited outside, having coffee until Wen Yu finished her midday shift.
"Wen Yu, let's have some coffee together !" Luo Chen persisted.
Wen Yu was usually patient, but in the face of Luo Chen, she couldn't remain calm. She headed straight to a casual eatery she frequented.
Luo Chen was dressed in designer clothes and high heels, annoyingly trailing Wen Yu, "If you can't join my birthday celebration, at least help me decide on my wedding dress, right? Jiang Rui said you have a good taste. Wen Yu, take a look… Later, Guo Xiang will join us for dinner, and we'll discuss. Wen Yu, can you advise us?"
Wen Yu's face was devoid of color.
Betrayed by Guo Xiang, her father facing prison, and Guo Xiang forcing her into a difficult situation.
But Luo Chen knew nothing about it. She was still demanding the same affection from Wen Yu as everyone else.
It was cruel beyond it could think !
