Seeing that You Jing was still blocking her car with no intention of moving out of her way, Meng Jie walked around him to open the car door. Nevertheless, the door was only half opened when she was hugged from behind.
His voice was forlorn, and tears were being choked back. “No, it’s not too late. I can pay for the penalty for breaching of contract if you are willing.
“I’m sorry, Meng Jie. I was wrong 5 years ago. I did not consider your feelings. I should have… should have severed my ties with those women sooner. I shouldn’t have…”
“There is no need to apologize to me. You have done nothing wrong.” Meng Jie tried to struggle free, but she failed. “You were not being selfish. I was too conceited. I boasted myself as your girlfriend when I was just one of your lovers.”
“No! That’s not true!” Meng Jie’s cold voice made You Jing feel a chill down his spine. He could do nothing, but keep his arms around her. He continued to try to explain himself. “We have been together for so many years. Can you not tell how I feel about you? What makes you think that you are the same as the others? You are my girlfriend, my only girlfriend! I have never thought of you as a lover nor have I ever thought of making you a kept woman. Meng Jie, you are not the same. You are different than the others.”
Meng Jie allowed him to hold onto her with a slight smile on her. “I’m different from the others? The others? Do you know what my biggest mistake is?”
She smiled a sarcastic smile. “My biggest mistake was that I never had a good look of where I truly stood. I knew what kind of a person you are. You are promiscuous. Yet I stubbornly asked you to change who you are and love only me.”
You Jing knew that his mistake could not have been worse. The past 5 years had been a gully that could never be refilled. He wanted to ask Meng Jie for forgiveness but any way he looked at it, that would never happen.
“I know what I did five years ago was wrong. I had no idea why you wanted to break up with me at the time, Meng Jie. I was… I was so angry that I had lost my mind. I didn’t mean to blacklist you; I just wanted for you to come back to me. As for the other women that you have mentioned, I have severed my ties with all of them already. I will not have anything else to do with them from now on. Please, will you forgive me?”
Meng Jie peeled off You Jing’s fingers one by one and escaped from his hug. Looking at him coldly, she said, “You’ve destroyed my passion for love, my anticipation for marriage, my faith in others, and my career. Why do you think that I will forgive you? You Jing, I will never forgive you in this lifetime.”
Her look was so cold that You Jing was startled.
The tender and poised woman in his mind seemed to be gone from this moment on.
He swallowed up all of his remaining words. He knew that Meng Jie would not be moved by him ever again. Nor would she smile that tender smile each time she saw him.
“You Jing, it has been five years. You are still as bossy, arrogant and naïve as you were before. Do you really think that you can have everything and anything that you want in this world?” Meng Jie smiled sarcastically. “I had been very conceited once as well and thought that I could change you. Reality and the price that I had paid told me later on that that was impossible.”
“As long as you are willing to believe and give me a chance, I will show you that I have truly changed,” said You Jing with difficulty.
“Is that so? I’m glad that you can change. It’s nice that you are no longer a player, and stop being a disappointment to your grandfather. Unfortunately, I don’t believe you.” Meng Jie opened up the car door, got in, and started her car under You Jing’s stare.
The car window rolled down, and Meng Jie gestured to You Jing to step aside. You Jing, on the other hand, held onto the window and said to Meng Jie, “If the Lu’s Corporation ever go belly up and Chaoxun Entertainment can no longer provide you with the resources that you need, I will always be there waiting for you.”
Meng Jie picked up something from his words. “If the Lu’s Corporation goes belly up? What do you mean by that?”
You Jing said nothing but just looked at her as he stepped away.
Meng Jie frowned deeply but she decided against asking more questions as You Jing had no intention of elaborating. She drove out of the garage.
