Ji Mengtang was about to explain when Shao Yihe gently shook her head and said: “I don’t blame him, truly! It’s only natural that he would leave me. My uncle and I have become a joke in business and social circles. I have no reason to ask him to share these jeers and insults. He is such an excellent man, deserving of a better woman. I – am simply not worthy of him!”
“How could this be? You should have told Mu Yun earlier!” Ji Mengtang cried out, unable to hide her heartache.
“It’s fine!” He never truly loved her! He loved Qiao Enen, even if she had said something, what difference would it make? “It’s about time for me to go. Let me treat you to coffee today. After all, once I’m married to Hong Kong, we might not have many chances to meet, and I won’t have many opportunities to treat you again.”
Shao Yihe picked up her purse, smiled and nodded at her, then left, while Ji Mengtang remained stunned.
So this was Shao Yihe’s true thoughts! Only now did Ji Mengtang realize what a wonderful girl she was. If Mu Yun truly missed her, it would undoubtedly be the greatest loss of his life!
She removed the pin from her chest, placed it on the table, and then looked up to meet the man walking towards her. “Now you know her true feelings, don’t you?”
The man walked pale-faced to Ji Mengtang’s side, removing a small device from his right ear – a tiny earphone capable of receiving any sound from a transmitter. The transmitter was the pin Ji Mengtang had just removed.
This was deliberately arranged by her, pretending to coincidentally meet Shao Yihe for a chat, then having Mu Yun wear the earphone to listen to the sounds transmitted by the transmitter on her body from a distance.
Ji Mengtang had always felt that Shao Yihe was not the kind of woman Mu Yun thought she was, and that there must be some backstory. She never expected the answer would be so heartbreaking.
Mu Yun placed the small earphone in his suit pocket, unable to hide his shock.
She had never told him these things! She would rather conceal the truth than speak out?
