Chapter 255: Expulsion
Nangong Ying herself felt that her actions were shameless. But she didn’t care. She wanted to have time with her, even if it was just for a minute.
She knew that it was impossible to get her forgiveness. At the very least, she wanted to have a brief moment with her.
“You’re truly shameless, utterly without shame.”
“Mmm, I know.”
She subconsciously held her tighter, afraid that if she let go, she would disappear.
“Nangong Ying, don’t you think you’re very contradictory? Since it’s trash you threw out yourself, why bother picking it back up?”
“I think so too.”
“You, when are you going to let go?”
“…I like you so much, I really like you so much.”
This feeling was something she had only gradually come to realize in the days after she had lost her. Who would have thought? Perhaps even she hadn’t imagined that she would have such thoughts about her. She now particularly missed the past, missed the time when she was there. But they couldn’t go back.
Yu Linna only responded with cold indifference, without a single ripple of emotion. No matter what thoughts she had about her, she didn’t want to believe her. This person was the biggest liar in the world. Her words were the most untrustworthy in the world.
Think about it. After being betrayed for the first time, she had still foolishly held out hope for her. What was she thinking at that time? She was thinking that if Nangong Ying was willing to turn back, she would definitely change her mind and forgive her. It wasn’t until Nangong Ying said the words, “You have no parents, you can’t understand my feelings,” that she had completely extinguished her fantasies about her.
That’s right. The Nangong Ying who would dote on her, protect her, was gone.
Why should she hold onto hope? Wasn’t it very foolish?
“Let go,” she said coldly.
No matter what method she used, Yu Linna was unmoved. She always had a cold, icy face. Clearly, she didn’t want to bother with her at all.
Or rather, only a fool would bother with her.
Yu Linna also had a temper. Seeing that she wouldn’t let go, she simply pinched the flesh of her stomach. Nangong Ying, in pain, subconsciously let go, and Yu Linna broke free.
“Linna…”
“Stop looking at me with those pitiful eyes. I know you’re an actress. Making such an expression is a piece of cake for you. How could I have been so blind back then, to have trusted you so much? Heh, you’re really cruel.”
Yu Linna looked at her coldly. She had long since grown impatient. This person was really shameless enough to still have the face to come and find her. The most shameless thing was that she actually wanted to salvage everything. This was truly the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Nangong Ying still wanted to say something, but Yu Linna interrupted her.
“Nangong Ying, have you forgotten how you hurt me? How could you do this to me? Yes, that’s right. I can’t understand your feelings. I can’t understand your desire to get your parents’ approval, because I have no parents, so I can’t understand. And what about you? Can you understand my feelings? When I was twelve, I relied on my own two hands to survive at the bottom of society. You, can you understand me?”
Nangong Ying was stunned, wanting to say something, but couldn’t. On this matter, she had hurt her. This was a fact. She had no intention of refuting it, and besides, she couldn’t.
The two of them thus fell into a silence.
Until someone opened Yu Linna’s door.
“Still working, Nana… what the hell, who are you?”
Zhao Yuyan had been playing games at home. Later, she thought of dropping by for a visit and to get some free food. Who knew she would see this scene the moment she entered? The two people in front of her were standing there, not speaking, their eyes glaring at each other. Clearly, their relationship was not good, but they didn’t seem to be arguing either.
Wait, this woman’s face is a bit familiar?
Holy crap, isn’t this Nangong Ying? The big star Nangong Ying!
Zhao Yuyan’s face quickly darkened.
This person, her relationship with Yu Linna was not particularly good. In fact, it was very bad. And because of her, Yu Linna’s personality had changed a lot.
Without a second word, Zhao Yuyan directly grabbed Nangong Ying and threw her out. Nangong Ying didn’t even know what had happened before she was kicked out the door.
“Get out! You’re not welcome here. You hurt Nana, and you still have the face to come and find her. Ptooey!”
Zhao Yuyan stood with her arms crossed, looking down from a commanding height, her aura even stronger than Nangong Ying’s. Nangong Ying herself had been trained. In a fight, she wouldn’t lose. Zhao Yuyan was just a novelist. There was no way she could beat her. But in terms of aura right now, Nangong Ying was a notch below her.
“I…”
“Can’t you understand human language? Quickly, get lost. Don’t think that just because you’re a big star, you can continue to come back and bully her. Our Nana doesn’t want to see you. Leave now!”
Seeing such a forceful Zhao Yuyan for the first time, Yu Linna was also taken aback. Looking at her back, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Nangong Ying still wanted to linger, but the forceful Zhao Yuyan wouldn’t let her in and directly drove her away.
Nangong Ying looked at her with a complicated expression. Yu Linna coldly turned her head away, not looking at her. Nangong Ying lowered her head, her heart pierced with pain. She knew it was impossible now, at least for now.
She left dejectedly, turning and walking away, leaving a silhouette behind. She had really done wrong, but her biggest mistake was that she still wanted to salvage the past, which was clearly impossible.
As the saying goes, a good horse doesn’t eat the grass it has already passed. But she had never been a good horse.
…
“Sister Yuyan, thank you.”
Yu Linna really didn’t know what to say. She could only offer this one sentence. If Zhao Yuyan hadn’t come, she might have continued to be entangled with Nangong Ying. What would have happened after that, she didn’t know. Judging by Nangong Ying’s behavior just now, she really didn’t know what she would do. At this thought, she became even more afraid. It was a good thing Zhao Yuyan had come.
Zhao Yuyan wasn’t particularly clear about the matter between her and Nangong Ying, but she roughly knew what had happened. She had also heard about it from Chen Xi a few times. It was about a certain girl who had ventured into the entertainment industry and was deceived by her best friend, almost committing suicide, and finally left the entertainment industry to become a professional writer in the novel circle.
Chen Xi had also learned this story about Nangong Ying from Miss Ye. Although it was a secret, a secret that could not be made public, it was not a problem to talk about it in private. In that circle, everyone understood that very few people would be completely clean. There would more or less be some dark history. Nangong Ying was just one of those who had done something more excessive.
For Yu Linna, Zhao Yuyan still felt quite sorry for her. Plus, she was her junior, so she naturally took more care of her.
“It’s fine. If she comes again, I’ll hit her every time.”
Zhao Yuyan hugged her and gently comforted her. Yu Linna didn’t resist and obediently leaned against her, as if only then could she feel safe.
Nangong Ying was a lifelong heartache for her. She was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future. She might never be able to get rid of her in this lifetime.
But she could choose to forget her.
“She used to be my friend, my best friend. If she hadn’t done that, we would still be friends.”
“Little Nana, the past is the past.”
“I think so too. I hope everything is in the past. It’s not worth crying for her.”
Yu Linna smiled wryly.
Forgetting the past, it’s easy to say, but really doing it is very difficult.
She really wanted to let go of all this and live a good life.
She didn’t want to live in the past anymore.
Zhao Yuyan patted her head, thinking that the reason this girl’s personality was so different from when they first met was partly because of Nangong Ying.
“Don’t think about those things. Let’s not work today. How about I take you out to play? Consider it a way to clear your head.”
“But…”
“You can always work. But the opportunity to go out with me is rare. Let’s go.”
That wasn’t wrong. Getting the shut-in Zhao Yuyan to voluntarily leave her house was a bit difficult.
Since she had said so, Yu Linna couldn’t find an excuse. After thinking about it, she agreed. Nangong Ying’s arrival had disrupted her heart. In her current state, it was absolutely impossible for her to work.
“Forget that scum Nangong Ying. Have a good time with me. It’s my treat.”
“Thank you, Sister Yuyan.”
This Zhao Yuyan finally had the feeling of a senior. For Yu Linna, it was a surprise. She even felt a little flattered. Zhao Yuyan was really good to her. If she said she would take her out, she really would.
This great lazy person said that since it was a rare outing, they might as well go to the amusement park and ride the Ferris wheel. Yu Linna just went along. The basic design of the amusement park in Guangnan City was quite nice. At the park entrance, there was even a Mickey Mouse mascot from Disney giving out small gifts. Yu Linna got her ticket checked and received a small Donald Duck figurine as a gift. She looked at the huge amusement park, the sea of people, and the children walking with their parents. She just looked, not saying a word.
“Not happy? Is the amusement park not fun?”
“No, it’s not that. It’s just my first time at an amusement park. I was just looking around a bit more.”
Yu Linna said with a faint smile.
Zhao Yuyan silently went to buy ice cream and gave her one. It was only then that she remembered that Yu Linna had no parents to accompany her as a child. She was an orphan. Naturally, she couldn’t experience the joy of an amusement park. Unlike her, who had been brought to the amusement park many times by her parents since she was a child.
“Alright, let’s go. Let’s go ride the Ferris wheel.”
She took her hand and walked inside. Yu Linna didn’t object and let her do so.
Like this, it’s actually quite reassuring, Yu Linna thought.
This Zhao Yuyan seems pretty good.
…
At the same time, Ye Zhiyun entered the park with Dai Wenqian. It was a rare holiday, and Dai Wenqian had also returned. She had suggested coming to the amusement park to play, and Ye Zhiyun, having nothing to do, had agreed. The amusement park in Guangnan City was very large. Although it couldn’t compare to Shanghai, it was indeed big enough. Ye Zhiyun had been here several times and was quite familiar with it.
“Zhiyun, you don’t seem very happy recently. You should smile more. Come on, let’s go play over there.”
Dai Wenqian pulled her along, running all over the amusement park. Ye Zhiyun could only smile wryly. This troublemaker, she really couldn’t be left alone for a moment.
“Slow down,” Ye Zhiyun said.
At the same time that she was being pulled along by Dai Wenqian, Zhao Yuyan was holding Yu Linna’s hand. The four of them, in the sea of people, were blocked by passersby and just brushed past each other. No one saw the other. Everything just passed by peacefully.
Although Ye Zhiyun felt something, she didn’t pay it any mind. And so, they perfectly missed each other.
