"Auntie loved me so much. She even supported our union before you even agree to date me. I loved her as much she loved me so have you ever thought 'What if he never killed her?'. Have you done that Zi Er?" Yifeng asked the lady, who has now halted close to the door of the restroom.
"Every killer needs a motive and since Auntie and I never had any misunderstanding, this means that I did not have any motive or reason to kill her so have you ever asked yourself whether you are the one wrong with your judgements?" Yifeng said.
"Zi Er, you are a very intelligent lady so I am sure you understand what I am trying to say. Don't let your pain and anger cloud your judgements, ok?" Yifeng continued in a calm tone.
"Grandpa is waiting for you inside. Come and talk to him when you are done. You might not know but he has missed you terribly," Yifeng said before he turned and walked away.
Despite feeling so miserable that his plan failed, Yifeng tried his best not to let it show.. When he got to the hall, he finally saw Jin who had been hiding from the press.
"Feng, how did it go? Did your plan work?" Su Jin asked anxiously when he reached where Yifeng stood.
"She is still as indifferent as she was two years ago when she said she never loved me. After my plan failed, she said I should stay away from her. Zi Er has become so cold-hearted, to the point that I can barely recognise her," Yifeng said as he beckoned a waiter carrying glasses of wine in a tray to come closer.
"Zi Er has been through a lot in this lifetime, that is why you can't blame her for the way she acts. And also you contributed to the way she is treating you right now," Su Jin said in a serious tone.
"No human in his or her right sense will not go insane if he or she learns that the one she loved killed her loved one. You and Zi Er would have been perfectly ok if you had said that you never killed Auntie and that it was a misunderstanding. It is not an understatement to say that you both would have long gotten married and had a child now but your stubbornness ruined everything," Su Jin concluded.
He felt hurt to see his friend in this predicament but he couldn't help but blame him also when he recalled Yifeng attitude when Mrs Yang died and so many people accused him of murdering her. He never explained what happened.
"Yes, I am the one responsible for everything but am I not also trying to amend everything? I am trying...,"
"Yifeng, maybe you have forgotten that not everything can be easily mended. It takes a lot of time, effort, love and perseverance to mend a broken person, never forget that. What I am trying to say is that no matter how bad Zi Er treats you, no matter the number of hurtful words she throws at you, never give up because one day, your efforts and persistence will yield positive results," Jin said as he tapped Yifeng on his shoulders encouragingly.
"I just hope you are right," Yifeng said, as he walked away with the glass of wine in his hand.
Meanwhile, in the parking space, a lady was seen ranting while hitting a white car, the tall handsome guy standing close to her rushed to hold her when he saw her bang her hand against the car.
"Liying, what exactly did you see to get you this furious? Did that Yang Zi of a lady said hurtful words to you again? Tell me and I will immediately go teach her a lesson on your behalf. I will let her know that nobody dares to mess with my best friend and go scotfree," Bai Zihua asked as he hugged her from behind in a bid to calm the furious lady down.
"How Feng could do this to me? I have loved him since childhood. I gave him my heart and I was willing to gladly give him my precious body on so many occasions. I have done so many things to make him mine so, why is it that he never for once loved me the way I did? What crime did I commit against him in this life that always made him choose that slutty lady over me? Why? Why? Why...," Zhao Liying shouted, as she broke free from his embrace.
"Liying, there are reporters everywhere so please try to watch your attitude. You don't want to make tomorrow's headline look so angry and messy right?" Bai Zihua said as he held her in place.
"Liying, tell me what that jerk said to you and I promise to go beat him up to ease up your anger," Zihua said in a serious tone.
"How could Feng kiss her? She said she doesn't love him anymore so, why is he wasting his time over her? When she was gone, I was the one who took care of him. When he used his influence to get dad out of his position as the Chief Judge, I told myself so many times that he did that because he was angry with mum and me. I have never stopped loving him. Since childhood, I have always been faithful to him alone so, is this how he repays me for my love and my years of faithfulness," Zhao Liying said, at the top of her lungs.
"I hate you, Yang Zi. I hate you for taking the man I have ever loved from me again. I wish you had just died. I wish you were dead and gone from our lives," Zhao Liying said, as she hugged Zihua.
"Don't worry, I will make your wish come true soon," Zihua said, as he patted her hair. After making sure she was relaxed, the two of them went back to the hall.
