Especially toward the soul that was extracted from the body.
Lan Ya was frozen onto the spot, as the picture in her brain gradually became clearer.
So, that is what happened…
On that day, she drove all the way to find him because she wanted to give him something personally and free him from the contract.
However, she did not expect to overhear him speaking ill about her to Xiao Ziqiu.
Xiao Ziqiu was undoubtedly gentle and was calming him down.
However, that did not make sense.
She had given him a call earlier that day and told him about terminating the contract earlier, so he could do whatever he wanted now.
Why does he still hate me so much?
After she was discharged from the hospital, she was still very groggy. During the journey, she got into an accident as she could not avoid the truck rushing toward her.
“So that's why…” Lan Ya smiled in relief. “I was too stupid and held on to my obsession until the very end, which is why I'm in this sorry state now.”
Looking at her, Helian Wei Wei shook her head and said, “No, if that's the case, it will never entrap you here. You should be able to let go easily.”
“Huh?” Lan Ya did not understand what she was saying.
At that moment, the door of Room 101 suddenly swung open.
It was Chen Zhendong, the handsome surgeon.
With a cold gaze, he stared at Helian Wei Wei and asked, “Why are you still here?”
“I have something that I need to do.” Helian Wei Wei's gaze met his eyes, as she laughed all of a sudden. “Mr. Chen, you really loathed Lan Ya all these years, right? However, if it wasn't her, you wouldn't be doing your favorite job now. Can this fact allay the hatred you have toward her?”
With cold fingertips, Lan Ya stretched her hands to grab Helian Wei Wei.
However, it was useless.
His voice was cold and heartless as he replied curtly, “No.”
“If that is the case, why didn't you reject her in the first place?” Helian Wei Wei's tone was indifferent as she uttered, “Even though I've only known her not long ago, I can see that even though Lan Ya looks tough on the surface, she won't actually try to harm anyone. This time, she's even the one that suggested terminating the contract. She knows that you've met someone you loved, so she will stop pestering you. Mr. Chen, you should be happier about this outcome. After all, both of your families have been friends for generations. If you think it's awkward due to your past relationship, I'll tell Lan Ya to meet you less frequently. However, Mr Chen, I have to say that there is a time limit to love. Please don't think that Lan Ya will like you forever and intend to constantly meddle in your relationship.”
“Since she offered to terminate the contract before it is due, doesn't this indicate that she won't do anything to you anymore? In the past, she liked you in the wrong way but to be honest, you were not harmed in any way. In actuality, she was the one that was treated unfairly when both of you were together. Because of how you treated her since the beginning, she was always inferior in front of you. Through these three years, you did not exactly treat her well at all. In this case, Mr. Chen, shouldn't you let go of the hatred in your heart and give each other an amicable closure? Or else, how can Lan Ya turn over a new leaf?”
“Turn over a new leaf?” Chen Zhendong lowered his gaze, his expression was hidden behind his stray hair. “Do you mean that she likes someone else now?”
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and said slowly, “It may not be love, but at least she's starting to have feelings for him. Mr. Chen, you should feel lucky that she's finally letting go. She may not be a decent person in your heart but, of all people, you should know that she's the type to go all out in a relationship. It may be difficult for her to forget you now, but that man is completely different from you. He likes Lan Ya very much, so she will be able to recover quickly if she has someone like him to take care of her.”
“So, that's why she wants to terminate the contract?” Chen Zhendong let out a frustrated laugh, as he clenched his fist and lifted his head to look at Helian Wei Wei. “Since she doesn't even pick up my call now, why does she care whether I hate her or not?”
Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly replied, “Everyone wants to have a closure with their disgraceful past. Perhaps to Lan Ya, her past with Mr. Chen is an ugly memory.”
“Are you kidding me?” Chen Zhendong was indifferent initially, but his eyes were scarlet with anger now. “I think that I'm the one who should say the past with her is disgraceful.”
Stunned, Lan Ya lowered her head miserably, as if she did not want them to continue the conversation any longer.
Helian Wei Wei did not stop this time. She merely chuckled and said, “You might be right, but the only difference now is that Lan Ya will no longer care about your att.i.tude. Mr. Chen, since your hatred toward Lan Ya cannot be eradicated, then it can't be helped. After all, we cannot force both of you to reconcile. You should treat her as a stranger if you b.u.mped into her next time.”
After finishing her speech, Helian Wei Wei pretended to leave.
“Are all these her very words?” Chen Zhendong clenched his fingers one by one and growled, “Does she not care anymore however I behave?”
Helian Wei Wei's expression did not falter as she brusquely replied, “Yes.”
“Where is she?” Chen Zhendong's face turned slightly pale as he asked, “Tell me, where is she right now? If she wants to end this relationship, I must hear it from her personally.”
Helian Wei Wei chuckled and said in feigned incredulity, “There's no need. You don't like her anyway.”
Chen Zhendong trembled in shock when he heard the word 'like.'
Helian Wei Wei's eyes were filled with playful mockery as she added, “Or, do you actually like her but you don't want to admit it? Are you worried that you might lose to her? After all, she always seems to be the one that is easier to let go in this relationship.”
“That is impossible, he…” Lan Ya wanted to stop Helian Wei Wei. She knew very clearly that if she did not coax him into a relationship, he would never consider treating her as his other half. To him, she would only be his best friend. Unfortunately, she overstepped the boundaries and resulted in the present situation.
“Of course not.” Chen Zhendong answered quickly and coldly, “I just think that she won't be able to let go easily.”
“Oh!” Helian Wei Wei said, before wearing a mocking smile. “Mr. Chen, didn't I tell you that she's no longer the old Lan Ya. She's starting to have feelings for someone else. So, it's easier for her to let go of the past.”
“Then, why did she come here?” Chen Zhendong looked at Helian Wei Wei and snapped, “I'm sure she has been here before. She did not go overseas!”
