Chapter 7 Loving You is My Destiny
Hate is your shackles, loving you is my destiny. Unfortunately, I overestimated myself and underestimated you.
——Fang Xuyu
01
After Fang Xuyu hugged me, he left. I didn't see him again for several days.
After staying in the hospital for three days, I was no longer in any danger, so I asked July to accompany me to complete the discharge procedures.
After leaving the hospital gate, we first went to a barber shop to wash our hair, then went to a spa together, and finally we went shopping crazily in the mall until we were exhausted.
After coming out of the mall, July went to the bathroom. I was carrying bags and chewing a lollipop, sitting on a bench to rest. A little boy wearing a baseball cap was holding a stack of newspapers and called me sweetly, "Sister, do you want to buy a newspaper?"
"Okay, how much is it?"
"Two."
"for you."
"Thank you, sister."
The newspaper was filled with either current affairs or entertainment gossip. I quickly skimmed through it and was about to stuff it into my bag. Then a piece of news on the folded corner caught my attention.
Hot news: Rich socialite was drugged and lost her virginity.
The victim's face was blurred, but I still recognized her. It was Zhong Maner!
The report roughly described what happened: Zhong Man'er went out drinking with friends, was drugged and kidnapped by a group of people, and was locked up in an abandoned factory and humiliated. An hour later, Zhong's father and mother followed the police to the scene of the incident. In the accompanying picture, the Zhong couple looked haggard, and Zhong Man'er curled up in a corner and shivered.
I immediately opened my phone and searched for more related content. There was actually a video. The video showed Zhong Man'er being surrounded and insulted by several men. Even after being processed, the scene was still horrible. The whole video was five minutes long. Listening to the heartbreaking screams in it, I wanted to turn it off after watching it for more than a minute.
I will make them pay back tenfold for what they have destroyed.
Fang Xuyu's words are still ringing in my ears. No, that's not the case. This must be an accident! All this can't be related to Fang Xuyu, it can't be! I comforted myself in my heart and pressed the close button hard, but my hand kept slipping after pressing it several times and I couldn't turn it off.
"Ah - help -" screams continued in the video.
I screamed and threw the phone away. I looked at the flashing screen of the phone, and a pair of red high heels appeared next to it. July squatted down to pick up the phone, and she looked at the picture on it with a sneer on her lips.
"Qiuyue, tell me this isn't true. How could Zhong Man'er, she, she, she..." I was incoherent, not having recovered from the shock just now. Qiyue looked at me quietly without saying a word.
"You knew that, didn't you?" I looked at her expectant expression, and the bad feeling became stronger.
She walked in front of me step by step, turned off the video, and held the phone in front of me: "The information I provided, what he did."
"Why do you have to..." I sat down on the chair dejectedly.
I knew they cared about me, but I didn't know they would avenge me like this. Although it was painful, I never thought it would end this way.
Why are they so crazy? Do they know the consequences of doing this? Not only will it ruin Zhong Man'er, but it may also get them themselves involved!
"Zhong Man'er was having a lot of fun, and it was only a matter of time before something happened. That group of people were her drinking buddies who had been coveting her for a long time. I just investigated these things, and Fang Xuyu just said something to provoke that group of people." July said these words without any emotion.
"Zhong Man'er is ruined." I whispered. For a girl, if something like this happens, it will probably be a nightmare that she will never get over. I can feel her despair and fear.
" She destroyed you too." July's words were like a gentle breeze, blowing up my memories.
The feeling of helplessness I had when I woke up that morning seemed to come back to me. That day, Zhong Man'er and her sisters persuaded me to drink at the party and sent me to the hotel when I was dizzy. The phone call she made before leaving the KTV was to Xue Ye. So when she entered the room, she looked at me with such vicious eyes. She hated that I had Fang Xuyu's care, and that playful kiss aroused her desire for revenge. She was jealous and joined forces with Xue Ye, who wanted to get me, to stage a perfect play. The protagonist of this play was me.
The sparrows chirped on the wires. Qiyue sat next to me. Her voice was very soft and cold as ice rain. "Weiyang, don't think that those who have treated you badly have good hearts and will regret and change their ways. They lost their humanity when they hurt you. Too many people are so ugly and dirty. You don't have to be so kind. When dealing with those who bully you, only an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will they be afraid and restrain themselves."
"July, you are too extreme. You don't have to go to this extent. I, I..." I don't want her to become so cruel because of me. Her words are too far-fetched and too dark.
The July I knew shouldn't be like this. Why did everything change? Why?
"I have never been a good person." She looked at me with burning eyes. For a moment, I was so heartbroken that I was speechless.
That day in the hotel, July insisted on checking the surveillance video, which meant that she would not let me be humiliated in vain. Zhong Man'er was already like this, so what would happen to another person?
I stood up suddenly, looked at Qiyue, and asked, "How are you going to deal with Xue Ye?"
Her lips were red as blood, she looked at me and said fiercely: "I will not let any of those who hurt you go, Fang Xuyou said."
"July, don't do stupid things for me! I'm not worthy of you! Tell me quickly, where is Fang Xuyu now?" I suddenly became panicked and at a loss.
Qiyue shook her head and didn't intend to tell me. It's funny to say that I had long thought that they would not let that matter go easily, but I didn't expect that they would retaliate against Zhong Man'er in such a terrible way. Then how would deal with Xue Ye in such a decisive way? Xue Ye is not someone who is so easy to mess with!
"July, please tell me..." I was worried that Fang Xuyu would do something even more stupid for me, so I had to continue holding July's wrist and begging her in a low voice.
She turned her face away expressionlessly, not wanting to listen to me.
"July, my dear July, I'm really worried about Fang Xuyu, just tell me!" I turned her face and looked into her eyes.
"The Cliff of Death, he asked Xue Ye to go there." July sighed and finally answered me.
Death Cliff? It didn't sound like a good place. I continued to stare into her eyes and asked carefully, "What is that place?"
"It's a famous racing spot on the outskirts of the city. Many accidents happen there every year, but it's also the pinnacle that many desperate racers like to challenge. If someone invites you, once you accept the challenge, you will either die or be disabled. " July said calmly.
I shook my head in despair: "Is Fang Xuyu crazy? He doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Probably, those who hurt you drove him crazy. Wei Yang, actually I admire this madman very much." July looked at me with a smile.
"He will regret it." My nose felt sore and I seemed to be about to cry.
July said firmly: "No, he will never regret it. Don't you understand?"
"Understand what..."
"he loves you."
It was as if a bomb was dropped into my chest, and my eyes widened with shock and disbelief.
Fang Xuyu and I have been bickering and hating each other since we met and reunited. Although I felt warm and touched because of him not long ago, I never thought about why he approached me again and again, why he went to Huacheng to find me, why he was so angry and sad after hearing about me, and even...
All this is because Fang Xuyu loves me? Fang Xuyu actually fell in love with me? This is a very unfunny joke. I refuse to believe it!
I put my hands in my pockets unconsciously, shook my head, and said slowly: "No, he just wants to pay me back."
"Are you sure he didn't do all this because he loves you? Wait... the game is about to start." July smiled, looked down at the number on his phone, stood up and said, "I say, little August, why don't you go to him in person to get the answer?"
"Are you really willing to take me to find them?" Although I hated Xue Ye to the core, I didn't want Fang Xuyu to end up hurting Xue Ye because of me. That's not worth it!
July picked up her things and walked towards the parking lot, turning back and shouting, "Why don't you catch up! I might regret it soon."
Hearing that, I immediately trotted over to catch up with her.
