Chapter 60: Killing Two Birds with One Stone (1)

Lu Manman adjusted her emotions and softly asked, “Are you blaming me?”

“I’m not blaming you. I just didn’t expect you to be so inefficient in your work. Do you know what the media is saying about me now?! You know very well that I’m still in the midst of my promotion, and if something like this were to happen, we wouldn’t be able to resolve it with our family’s help!” Wen Yun was fuming.

“All you think about now is your future, but have you thought about how I feel? I knew that you had an affair, and I tolerated it. I even said that I could forgive you! This afternoon, Jiang Yiyao came knocking on my door and said that the person you love is her, not me! She said you are only with me for your family’s interests. I don’t want to believe her, but my heart hurts. I didn’t think that the man I love so deeply would have a two-year relations.h.i.+p with a woman. What do you want me to do?” Lu Manman said agitatedly.

Wen Yun suddenly went quiet as if he was trying very hard to control his emotions.

He could not afford to offend Lu Manman yet. Now that he was in this sorry state, he needed the support of the Lu family even more. If Lu Manman were to be disappointed in him now, the gains would not make up for the losses!

He tolerated it for a long time and then suddenly said in a gentle voice, “Manman, I was just too agitated. Why would I only care about my future? I’m also afraid that my image won’t be good and that you won’t love me anymore. I’m really afraid of losing you. Trust me.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but you and Jiang Yiyao…”

“You still want to listen to that woman’s nonsense?! She fabricated it because she couldn’t get me. I have nothing to do with her, and she still dares to spout nonsense to the media. Don’t worry. I will prove my innocence to you, and let you know how loyal I am to you.”

Lu Manman was silent, but she was sneering inside.

Even at this point, Wen Yun still felt that she was foolish enough to believe him?!

“Manman, I really didn’t expect things to turn out this way today. You’re never one to mess things up!” Wen Yun suddenly said.

Wen Yun was no fool. Since she had gone this far, there was no way he would not suspect her.

“I don’t know why this happened either. I’ve been on the verge of a mental breakdown the past few days. Being pointed at the nose by Jiang Yiyao today really makes me feel like the world is falling apart. There was even a moment when I wanted to end everything once and for all. I couldn’t think straight, and even now, I feel dizzy. I have no idea what happened.” Lu Manman sounded extremely tired. “Yun, let me rest for a while. I’m really tired, and I can’t take the blows that come one after another.”

Wen Yun wanted to say something but chose to remain silent.

At the very least, he did not dare to anger Lu Manman now. Even though everything that happened this time was caused by her, he tolerated it all and maintained his gentleness. Moreover, he had to admit that Lu Manman’s loss of control over her emotions these few days also meant that she loved him a lot. As long as she still loved him, he could still make use of her in the future.

At the thought of this, his voice became gentler. “Rest more then. When things calm down later, I’ll take you out to relax. You have to believe me. No matter what, I’ll only love you in this lifetime.”

Love? It was something that Wen Yun took for granted.

“Mm-hm, I’m hanging up then. Bye.”

“Sleep well. Bye.”

The moment she hung up, Lu Manman’s expression changed.

In her previous life, he had been able to play her to her death so calmly. But in this life, it was his turn to experience what it felt like to wish he was dead!

Two hours later, the news broke once again. Wen Yun sent a long text stating that he and Jiang Yiyao had not had a relations.h.i.+p for two years and that he had not known her in the past. That night, he had gotten drunk and had been unwittingly sent back by her, which then led to a pa.s.sionate night. Wen Yun also said that he would hold Jiang Yiyao accountable for her slanderous remarks!
