Chapter 440 Calm and Tranquil
Yue Yirou really wanted to call Jiang Mengru and say a few words to her, but remembering what Yan Ye had said last night, she ultimately gave up the idea.
She didn't know if Jiang Mengru would want to kill her, but perhaps she really should cut off all ties with her. It wasn't that she was worried that Jiang Mengru would harm her, but rather that only in this way would Lu Tingyun let her go and stop using her.
She didn't hold out hope that they would end up together; she only hoped that they would both be safe and sound.
After deciding to break off her friendship with Jiang Mengru, when Yan Ye handed her the recovered phone, she didn't immediately take it. Instead, she said to Yan Ye, "Could you change the SIM card for me?"
Only Yan Ye knew how to change the SIM card in the phone he gave her.
“It’s already been replaced.” Yan Ye smiled with satisfaction, then pointed to the landline next to him, “I’ve also had A-Cheng cut the landline’s telephone line.”
"..." Yue Yirou ran over and saw that the telephone line had indeed been cut. She twitched her lips slightly, speechless.
Jiang Mengru and Lu Tingyun both thought that news of Yan Ye and Yue Yirou's marital breakdown would soon spread, but a week passed and they didn't hear a single negative story about them. Everything was unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.
Yue Yirou didn't call either, and Jiang Mengru and Lu Tingyun were getting a little impatient.
Lu Tingyun plans to be discharged from the hospital and send someone back to find out what to do next. Jiang Mengru is watching him 24 hours a day here, so there are many things he can't do.
"Shaojun, your injury hasn't healed yet. Stay a few more days before being discharged." Jiang Mengru disagreed with his decision to leave the hospital.
Lu Tingyun was no longer as good-tempered as before towards Jiang Mengru, and said coldly, "I know my own injuries better than you do."
“Shaojun…” Jiang Mengru felt wronged, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Not wanting to hear her cry, Lu Tingyun softened his tone slightly: "Mengru, I know you're concerned about me, but my injuries are no longer serious, and it's the same if I go home to recuperate."
Jiang Mengru then held back her tears, knowing that he wouldn't listen to her, so she didn't insist anymore. However, after accompanying Lu Tingyun back to the villa, she had no intention of returning to the Jiang family.
This was something Lu Tingyun hadn't expected, and something he didn't want.
Living with her was torture for him, and he no longer needs to endure that torture.
Lu Tingyun walked into the kitchen and pulled Jiang Mengru, who was preparing lunch, out of there: "Mengru, you don't need to do this for me anymore. Go back."
"No." Jiang Mengru shook off his hand. "Shaojun, your injury hasn't healed yet. I have to stay and take care of you. Besides, this is our little home. If you won't let me stay here, where do you want me to go?"
“I can take care of myself. You go back to the Jiang family and don’t come here again,” Lu Tingyun said expressionlessly.
Jiang Mengru panicked immediately, reached out and grabbed his uninjured arm, pleading, "Shaojun, please don't send me away, okay? We're about to get married, and we've already... Shaojun, please let me stay, okay? I can't live without you."
Lu Tingyun pushed her hand away, and said with a sigh in his coldness, "Mengru, I'm sorry. I can't forget Yirou. Let me go and find another good man to marry."
"You can't forget her?" Jiang Mengru felt a surge of jealousy and said painfully, "Shaojun, I didn't know you and Yirou had this kind of relationship before. It's my fault. If I hadn't invited her to our engagement ceremony, you wouldn't have rekindled your feelings for her. We wouldn't be like this now. It's my fault. Shaojun, give me a chance to help you forget her. We can definitely forget her."
"You don't blame me?" She hadn't complained about him once in all these days.
Jiang Mengru shook her head, gazing at him sincerely: "I don't blame you, it's my fault. Shaojun, I truly love you. Everyone has a past, and I don't mind yours. Let me help you forget Yirou, okay?"
Lu Tingyun was somewhat moved, but the emotion vanished in an instant. He continued coldly, "Mengru, you should go back first. I need to think about it because I don't know if I can do it. I don't want to disappoint you. Relationships are not child's play. You should also go back and think it over carefully, and consider whether I am still worthy of your love."
"You deserve it, of course you deserve my love."
From the moment he saved her, she was determined to be with him. As long as he forgot Yue Yirou, he would still be the most perfect and outstanding man in her heart, and the warmest place in her heart.
Lu Tingyun gazed at her, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed, "Mengru, you are a good girl."
"Shaojun..." Hearing his words, Jiang Mengru felt a mix of sorrow and joy.
"Let's go home first. We need to have some peace and quiet for a while." Lu Tingyun reached out and rubbed her head.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Shaojun." Jiang Mengru nodded, sniffing.
After wiping away her tears, Jiang Mengru picked up her bag and reluctantly walked out. Lu Tingyun suddenly called out to stop her, "Wait a minute, Mengru."
"Shaojun, you've agreed to let me stay?" Jiang Mengru turned around with a happy expression.
"No. I just want to ask you to return my white jade pendant."
Jiang Mengru looked disappointed. She opened her bag, took out the white jade pendant, handed it back to Lu Tingjun, and hesitated before saying, "Shaojun, what is the connection between this white jade pendant and Yirou? Her reaction was very strange when she saw it that day."
Her reaction was normal and not surprising at all.
Lu Tingyun thought to herself, but said aloud, "This pendant has nothing to do with her, and I don't know why she reacted so strangely."
Doesn't he know either?
Did he genuinely not know, or was he lying to her?
"Oh." Jiang Mengru said "oh" with a hint of disappointment, then picked up her bag and turned to leave.
She thought he was lying to her; how could he not know?
But he wouldn't tell her, and she had no other choice. It seemed that the only way to find out the truth was to call Yue Yirou.
For some reason, she always felt that this white jade pendant held some secret, and she especially wanted to know what that secret was.
Back at the Jiang family home, after much internal struggle, Jiang Mengru dialed Yue Yirou's number. She wanted to know why Yue Yirou had reacted that way when she saw the white jade pendant, and she also wanted to ask about the current situation between her and Yan Ye.
Given Yan Ye's personality, she didn't believe he could remain indifferent after hearing her words. Even if he hadn't divorced Yue Yirou, he must have harbored resentment. So she added fuel to the fire.
To her surprise, when she dialed Yue Yirou's number, it was disconnected.
How could it be a disconnected number?
She hadn't called her for only a week.
Did Yan Ye get angry and confiscate her phone?
