Chapter 72: Evasion and Framing

  Watching the once proud boy humbly begging in front of her, Ji Xin felt a pang of sadness in her heart, suddenly thinking of his past kindness to her and concern for her, but even so, she couldn't forgive him for what he had done.

  "Yao Wenhao, in emotional matters, some mistakes can be forgiven no matter how many times they are made, but some things will never be forgiven. This is a question of a person's moral character. If someone steals once, others will forever consider him a thief. I don't even have the most basic trust in you now, so how can we still be together? Bringing up this issue again has brought back the pain that was buried in my heart, so what I said may have been a bit harsh."

  "Even if a thief is brought to court, there are still differences in punishment. You can't sentence me to death for just this little mistake, can you?" Yao Wenhao saw that she didn't leave any room for maneuver and couldn't help but regret it even more.

  "Yao Wenhao, some things are just not meant to be. Even if I don't care about these things, and we make up, there will always be a knot in our hearts that prevents us from going back to the good old days. If it's like this, then it's better to part ways amicably, at least the memories left in my heart are the best ones. You are still that Yao Wenhao in my heart, who made pottery with me and took me on bike rides."

  But in Ji Xin'an's heart, there was another sentence: she didn't want that shameless Yao Wenhao to become a memory in her heart, or else this relationship would truly have no memories left.

  "But who hasn't made mistakes, are you saying you've never made a mistake, are you saying you're always right in our relationship?" Yao Wenhuo felt a surge of resentment when he saw that no matter what he said, Ji Xin'an wouldn't forgive him.

  "Yes, I admit it, I've also made mistakes. It's impossible for humans to be perfect, but our mistakes were unintentional. And you, you deliberately approached me, obtained my feelings and achieved your goal. Can you say that's the same?" Ji Xin'an's face turned stern as she gazed coldly at Yao Wenhuang.

  "I was premeditated, but at least I was sincere with you later, but what about you? You were still entangled with Zou Weiguo while talking to me about love. I never mentioned you, why do you keep grasping at my small mistakes?" Yao Wenhao said, and as he spoke, he recalled the intimate scenes between her and Zou Weiguo, making his heart even more unbearable.

  Ji Xin'an was stunned by what he said, looking at the boy she thought she had already fallen in love with, and suddenly felt a chill when she realized that she was so unworthy in his eyes.

  Yu Yao, who was not far away, couldn't hear what they were saying, but she had been paying attention to the movements of the two people. Seeing that neither of their faces looked good, she thought that the conversation shouldn't be going very smoothly and was hesitating about whether or not to go forward.

  Ji Xin'an's remaining feelings for him vanished after hearing his words, "Yao Wenhuo didn't think you were not only shameless but also so despicable, thinking that everyone would be so unbearable. I'm really glad to see your true face in time, and I really regret falling in love with someone like you."

  "How dare you say that you don't have any relationship with Zou Weiguo? Why are you so happy every time he comes back, and why do you act so intimately with him, as if it's not just a normal acquaintance? And whenever he comes back, no matter what you're doing, you drop everything to follow him. How can you explain all this?" Yao Wenhao heard her words and couldn't help but shout out, pouring out all the suspicions and grievances that had been building up inside him over these days.

  "Is it that in your eyes, between men and women there is only one kind of relationship, no other? I am your girlfriend, yet you actually think this way about me. You truly disappoint me." Ji Xin An gazed at him coldly, but her heart had calmed down.

  "What else can be related, in fact you are not forgiving me now because of my fault, I think you are just taking this opportunity to get rid of me, so that you can follow him without any obstacles. I tell you, Zou Weiguo is a family man with children, do you really want to be a third party who cannot see the light?" Yao Wenhao has now confirmed that her relationship with Zou Weiguo is not glorious, no matter how Ji Xin'an explains it, he will not believe.

  "Since you've made up your mind, there's nothing more to say between us. Please move aside, I'm leaving." Ji Xin'an didn't want to argue with him anymore.

  Ji Xin'an was about to leave, but Yao Wenhuo hastily grabbed her arm. Just as Ji Xin'an was about to shake off his hand, someone rushed over and punched Yao Wenhuo to the ground. "Yao Wenhuo, you scoundrel, what are you doing still bothering her?"

  Yao Wenhao stood up with his face covered, "She's my girlfriend, what does it have to do with you?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, An An has already broken up with you and you two are no longer in a relationship." Zou Ze hummed and turned to look at Ji Xin An with concern.

  Yao Wenhao was greatly stimulated by his words and also threw a punch, and the two of them immediately started fighting.

  "What are you doing? Let go." Ji Xin'an saw that they had actually started fighting and hurried over to break them up.

  Yu Yao, who had been standing by the side all along, didn't expect things to develop to this extent either, and ran over, "Brother, Zou Ze, what are you doing? Stop it quickly."

  Although someone was pulling them apart, the two people who were fighting couldn't easily give up. They shook off the people holding them back and continued to fight. In a moment of carelessness, Yao Wenhuai kicked Chi Xin'an in the body.

  Ji Xin'an let out a cry and fell to the ground, at which point they stopped fighting and rushed over to see Ji Xin'an.

  "How is it? Where are you hurt?" The three of them looked at Ji Xin'an with concern.

  Ji Xin'an covered her lower abdomen and stood up, "You guys keep fighting, continue fighting."

  "Does it hurt a lot? Let's go to the hospital." Seeing Ji Xin'an's pale face, Zou Ze hurried over to support her.

  "I'm fine." He said, shaking off Zou Ze's hand. It wasn't that he was taking his anger out on Zou Ze, but rather he just didn't have the mood to talk to them anymore.

  "An An, don't go, I was wrong, give me another chance."

  "Why am I staying here, is it to listen to your insults or watch you fight?" Ji Xin'an sneered.

  Yao Wenhao knew he had lost his chance, and as he watched Ji Xin'an's slightly weary back disappear into the distance, he suddenly felt that this time, Ji Xin'an was gone for good.

  Ji Xin'an slowly walked away, the place where Yao Wen-hao kicked her hurt badly, but she felt it was far less than the pain in her heart.

  Zou Ze's gaze at Yao Wenhuo was no different from that of an enemy, but because of what had just happened, he could only endure and not take action again. So he could only glare at him fiercely before following behind Ji Xin'an.

  "Brother, what's going on? You were talking fine just now, how did you end up fighting?" Yu Yao asked while helping him wipe away the blood from his face with a handkerchief.

  Yao Wenhao didn't say anything, he just smiled bitterly, unsure of what to do.

  "Brother, it's actually all my fault. If it weren't for me, you and Ji Xin'an wouldn't have ended up like this." Yu Yao lowered her head.

  "Yao Yao, don't think like that, this has nothing to do with you. I'm willing to do anything for your brother." Yao Wen Hua looked at the guilty Yu Yao.

  Yu Yao raised her head, staring at him, "But...brother, although you did it for my own good, I also think that what you did is wrong. If I like someone, I will pursue them myself, rather than using this kind of method to get them. This kind of love is not what I want."

  "Yao Yao, you also think I'm shameless, right? At that time, I had just come back, and Ji Xin'an was a stranger to me. Compared to you, she's not as important to me, I couldn't bear to watch her take away the happiness that originally belonged to you." Yao Wenhuo felt that if others didn't understand him, it was fine, but Yao Yao shouldn't look at him like this either.

  "You can't hurt her like that, even if she's a person who has nothing to do with you. You can bear to hurt her, this is no longer just an emotional issue, but also a human issue." Yu Yao looked at Yao Wenhuo and was still not aware of how wrong he had done, and suddenly became angry in her heart.

  "What's wrong with me, although I had ulterior motives when I approached Ji Xin'an at first, but after being with her, I was genuinely sincere, I truly liked her, gave her the best, and devoted myself to her. If it weren't for Shi Lin exposing us, you might have never known about this in your lifetime." Yao Wenhuo now regrets letting Shi Lin join him in his plan, if he had kept it to himself, he might still be with Ji Xin'an now.

  "Brother, how can you still have such a mentality now? Don't you think you're being unfair to Ji Xin'an? Do you know how much harm this will cause her?" Yu Yao looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt very unfamiliar.

  "How have I hurt her? Apart from this, I've never done anything to wrong her. But what about Ji Xin'an? After being with me, she's still unclear with Zou Weiguo. She's not angry at me because of this matter, but is using this opportunity to break up with me. Yet all of you are blaming me now, without even mentioning her part in it." Yao Wenhuo felt even more unjust when Yu Yao said this to him.

  Looking at Yao Wenhao, who seemed to be losing control, Yu Yao felt a chill in her heart. She had not expected that her brother, who she thought she understood, would not only refuse to admit his mistake but also shift the blame onto Ji Xin'an's shoulders. "Brother, you're really disappointing me. I never thought you were this kind of person."

  "What's wrong with me, I'm still doing this for you, but not only do you not understand me, now you're even standing on Ji Xin'an's side and speaking up for her. I don't need a sister like you." Yao Wenhuo pushed Yu Yao away, his face cold.

  Yu Yao fell to the ground, gazing disappointedly at the person she once admired most in her heart. Tears flowed uncontrollably as she turned and left.

  Yao Wenhao's current mood can no longer be described as painful, he doesn't know why, in just a few days, the people he likes the most, his dearest sister, have all left him, why can't they forgive him just once, is this really retribution?
