914 Forgiveness Is a Virtue

Seeing Bai Youyou’s touched expression, Shen Hanxing spoke indifferently, “Miss Bai, let me kindly remind you again to be cautious about the people around you, whether they are humans or ghosts. Some people are experts at acting, especially when it comes to playing with affections.”

In fact, Shen Hanxing knew that Bai Youyou wouldn’t listen to her words, just like President Bai and Mrs. Bai didn’t listen to her suggestion to have Bai Youyou’s psychological state checked, and Wei Xier didn’t listen to her disapproval of Zhuang Li.

Because you could never wake someone who was pretending to sleep.

Shen Hanxing originally didn’t care about the emotional entanglement between these people. She only spoke up because she couldn’t stand Cheng Songyang using affection to deceive others. Affections were supposed to be the most genuine, pure, and touching thing in this world.

“I don’t need you to interfere in my affairs!” Bai Youyou’s expression changed, and she glared at Shen Hanxing with resentment. “Can’t you stand to see me happy? You accused me of having a mental illness, and now you’re slandering Cheng Songyang’s sincerity toward me. What else do you want to say next? Do you think you’re the only one deserving of true love in this world? Do you think I’m unworthy of love? Unworthy of someone’s true affection!”

The more Bai Youyou spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could kill Shen Hanxing with her gaze. She shouted, “Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, Shen Hanxing, I’m doing just fine! I will have a better life than you in the future! Your arrogance won’t last long!” She firmly believed that her brother Ji Yan’s current affection for Shen Hanxing was deceived by Shen Hanxing’s disguise. Once Ji Yan saw through Shen Hanxing’s true nature, he would surely regret it and completely give up on Shen Hanxing!

Faced with Bai Youyou’s ignorant words, Shen Hanxing not only didn’t get angry but found it somewhat amusing. It was the expected reaction. Even Cheng Songyang could not help but feel a little pity for Bai Youyou. He was also proud of himself. There were indeed such stupid girls in this world. Their minds were filled with love, as if there was nothing else in life worth cherishing except for love. However, this was good. Otherwise, how could he rise so quickly, using the help of Bai Youyou? These foolish women were destined to be stepping stones on his path to success.

The more Cheng Songyang sneered and scorned in his heart, the gentler his expression became on his face. He reached out and held Bai Youyou, speaking softly, “Youyou, it’s enough that you believe in me. We don’t need to get angry over other people’s words. Not everyone in this world can see the truth.”

As Cheng Songyang spoke, he hinted, “Truly broad-minded and cultured individuals won’t meddle in other people’s affairs, and truly refined people won’t get upset over prejudice and slander. As long as we don’t care, these things won’t hurt us. Only people feeling guilty inside will be concerned about those messy things and feel insecure, thinking that everyone else is bad.”

Cheng Songyang’s words clearly implied that Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing were the ones feeling guilty inside as they were accusing Bai Youyou. Everyone present was not a fool and could discern the meaning behind his words.

But after the sarcastic irony, Cheng Songyang apologized to Ji Yan with a hint of embarrassment, “Cousin, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t mean to say anything about you and your wife… I was just comforting Youyou, hoping she would feel better.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan lifted his gaze calmly and looked at Cheng Songyang. His expression was very calm, as if no matter what Cheng Songyang did or said, it couldn’t stir any ripples in his heart. His attitude was the most provocative. It made people feel like they were a clown who was not taken seriously at all.

Cheng Songyang’s smile on his face began to fade.

“You can say whatever you want.” Ji Yan finally spoke in a calm and indifferent tone. “I can’t control how others choose or act, but I only know that anyone who disrespects my wife must face the consequences.” His deep black eyes lightly swept over Cheng Songyang and Bai Youyou, and his thin lips curved slightly. “Forgiveness is a virtue, but unfortunately, I don’t have it.”

How was he supposed to respond to this? Ji Yan admitted so bluntly that he was not tolerant enough and didn’t have this virtue. It left no room for criticism!

People with complex minds feared nothing more than this kind of direct statement because it was difficult to respond to.

Cheng Songyang’s expression on his face turned sour.

“Our families are not that close, and judging from all that you have done, it is evident that you don’t consider me as a family member,” Ji Yan’s gaze landed on Cheng Songyang’s face.
