Chapter 215 - 214: Are You Sure?

Lin Chang Lu suspected Xiao Yun to be jealous now after what she said and quirked a smile. "Of course that is in the past and I don't know if he still does feel that way until now." She placed an extra tone at her last words, alluding Xiao Yun that Wang Li Lei could still hold a candle over her because she was his first love.

However, contradictory to her thoughts, Xiao Yun asked again. "How did you two met?"

Lin Chang Lu crossed her arm, feeling a little generous she decided to tell her the story. "If I wasn't wrong, he was crying under the tree at that time. When I saw him crying, I felt sympathy and cried beside him for hours."

'No, you're wrong.' Xiao Yun chided in her heart. Wang Li Lei was a child who is incapable of crying when he had just lost his family. People talked about him with disgust because he couldn't cry nor express his sadness for his dead parent. But no one knows that his heart was actually crying. It was exactly because he felt too sorrowful that he couldn't shed tears. Although, the effect of hypnosis that Choi Yeon Jun placed on her in her past life still did quite a number on her memories to this moment, leaving her with some blanks on her memories. The memory of her first time meeting Wang Li Lei, she had remembered it at her school trip.

Even if Lin Chang Lu told her this when she hadn't remember her memories, she doubt herself believing her misunderstandings.

Xiao Yun suddenly chuckled a little and once again her laughter surprised the woman standing beside her. At this point, Li Chang Lu thought that she had lost her marbles and was taken aback. "Why are you laughing?" She asked. Even though she felt she had achieved victory for some reason, Lin Chang Lu felt her heart scrunched by anxiousness.

"No." Xiao Yun placed her palm over her lips. "It's just that I also met Li Lei for the first time under this tree. Where more specifically I came from above."

Lin Chang Lu narrowed her eyes, loosing her patience. "Came from above?"

Xiao Yun turned her eyes. All this time the woman in front of her had been trying to destroy her heart and embarrassing her in front of everyone. It would have worked. That is if she was still the same person before her rebirth or when she was affected by Choi Yeon Jun's hypnosis that almost destroyed her personality like a ticking bomb. That was her in the past but not now.

"This tree had a sturdy trunk, don't you agree?" Xiao Yun smiled softly, lI was quite a tomboyish girl when I was young. When I saw the tree I felt quite challenge and wanted to try climbing it, it's a bad habit from the past so I'm quite embarrassed by this. However, I have to thank the tree because of its existence, I could meet Li Lei."

Lin Chang Lu's face grew more and more impatient. "How did you meet?"

At first it was her plan to destroy Xiao Yun's heart, trying to make a crack on her heart that soon would become wider and soon enough break into two. But now, her plan backfired to herself, even the question that Xiao Yun gave now become her own line.

"I saw him in his most sorrowful state. He had a very heartbroken expression and I couldn't bear to see him with that expression. He's only a few years older than me yet, he had the most painful gaze than any a.d.u.l.ts I ever saw. So I jumped down of the tree give him a handkerchief and cried beside him." She paused and added, "I'm happy that day I cried beside him and help him to get over his sadness. Because now, he is happy and he could smile again. That smile that he always have, it's my most favorite expression of all." She spoke her heart out, brushing her hand on the tree trunk and doze off on her own words that she almost forgot who she was standing with.

Xiao Yun turned her face, her smile grew colder. "Did you meet him too under this tree? Are you sure?"

Lin Chang Lu quickly opened her mouth but as thought as a lump had formed in the back of her throat, she couldn't utter a single thing. She was sure she remembered that she cried with Wang Li Lei under this tree, but as it happened almost eleven years ago, she can't really remember the scene clearly nor the face of the boy who sat behind her under this tree. Then who was it? Was the person she sat with in the past was a different person? Yet Lin Chang Lu refuse to believe it. She can never accept anyone other than Wang Li Lei, the perfect man that could only suit her. Without another thought Lin Chang Lu glared at her. She thought the girl in front of her was stupid but she wasn't. All this time she was acting and now she's sure that her suspicion is true. She took a step forward and shamelessly asked. "If I'm sure then Xiao Yun, are you sure that you're story is also correct?"

Xiao Yun pulled her smile sweetly. "The fact that I'm standing by his side now, isn't it the evidence?"

Lin Chang Lu didn't reply, no she didn't have anything left to answer her. She could only glare at her in detest and smirked. "Do you know that your real personality is horrible, Xiao Yun?"

Xiao Yun covered her mouth and giggled. "That's called pot calling kettle back, Chang Lu. Did you forgot what you've done? Or could you still shamelessly say that you're an angel?"

"Are you not afraid that Li Lei would know your twisted personality?" Lin Chang Lu threatened.

"Since the first time he chose me, he knew how twisted my personality is. The person who have nothing to lose here isn't you, Chang Lu but me." Xiao Yun tilted her head slightly and returned her own words. "Are you not afraid that Li Lei would know the truth of your twisted personality? I doubt that it's your first time eliminating any women who dared to get closer with Li Lei and I doubt that you always use clean confrontation to remove the obstacles that get between you and Li Lei."

And Xiao Yun was right, this wasn't her first time in removing women who flocked themselves around Li Lei and it wasn't also her first time to use backhanded approach. It was also the reason why she could shamelessly use her advance and controlled other's opinions. Lin Chang Lu grinned. "Do you think there's anyone who would believe your words?"

"Of course there isn't." Xiao Yun replied lightly. "The women of the socialites, the servants, and even Madam and Mister Wang, perhaps they would believe your words. But do you think you could continue to do so?" Xiao Yun rose one of her brow. "Do you know that to hold one lie you need a thousands of them? For a person who make more than a single lie, could you hold the holes that your lies made? Are you sure?"

Lin Chang Lu laughed. "If you think I can't, then you've underestimate me. I have hundreds of ways to drag you down from that spot, Xiao Yun."
