Bai Ran shouted, “Stop talking. Stop talking. I’m already a failure. Even you want to laugh at me? The person I love the most is a big liar. Do you want to keep emphasizing it to me?”

Bai Ran looked up at her, her eyes filled with doubt, confusion, and pain.

Yu Xuan stared into her eyes and said, “I told you long ago that he’s not worth trusting. You asked for the results yourself. Are you still going to escape?”

“You know very well whose fault it is that the two of you have come this far. What’s the use of venting your anger on me? Face the truth!” Yu Xuan said slowly.

Bai Ran’s tears flowed non-stop, but she had nothing to say. This was all what Yu Xuan had warned her countless times before.

Now that the truth was exposed in front of her, what else could she say?

Seeing that she was silent, Yu Xuan placed her hand on Bai Ran’s back and patted her gently. “Bai Ran, I know you’re feeling very uncomfortable. Cry if you want to, but please remember that man isn’t worth it.”

He was not worth it. Yes, he was indeed not worth it. Bai Ran felt that she looked like a joke.

“Ah Xuan, leave first. I want to go back and calm down!” Bai Ran took a deep breath and wiped her tears.

“Yes, okay. Do you want me to send you back?” Yu Xuan retracted her hand and asked.

“There’s no need. I’ll look for you when my mind is clearer,” Bai Ran said, trying hard to squeeze out a smile.

Yu Xuan did not force her anymore. She knew that Bai Ran must be in extreme pain at this moment, but this pain was inevitable.

Only by letting her understand, digest, and accept it herself could she really give up on Chen Chen.

Otherwise, any advice from others would have the opposite effect.

Yu Xuan nodded and left alone.

When Bai Ran returned home in a daze, Ye Zhong had already left.

Looking at the half-empty teacup on the table, she felt very sorry for Ye Zhong. Uncle Ye had helped her out of goodwill, but she had not done her part as a host.

However, Bai Ran was no longer in the mood to explain. Instead, she took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet. She had bought that bottle at a high price to thank the client who had given her a job opportunity. She did not expect to use it on herself before she could give it away.

Bai Ran was no longer in the mood to care about anything else. She poured a big cup and finished it in one gulp.

After drinking a cup, Bai Ran was still very awake.

“Didn’t they say that drinking can numb you?! Why didn’t I feel anything?!” Bai Ran slammed the wine glass on the table, tears in her eyes.

Soon, she reached the second cup and finished it in one gulp.

After two glasses, the bottle was already half empty.

Bai Ran was about to pour a third cup when the anesthesia of the wine began to appear.

Bai Ran felt her vision begin to blur. She seemed to be unable to think.

This groggy feeling eased the discomfort in her heart a little and she felt much better.

Bai Ran staggered to the bedroom and fell into bed. Soon, she fell asleep.

On the other end, Chen Lin felt like she was walking in a dark corridor. She could not reach the end…

She still ran desperately and shouted…

Finally, a white light appeared in front of her.

Chen Lin opened her eyes slightly and finally heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that she was lying on the bed.

Because she had received anesthesia, she could not recover her consciousness for a long time. It took her a while to remember where she was.

She raised her hand to touch her face and realized that her nose was wrapped in thick gauze.

At this moment, because her face was twisted and pulled by the gauze, a slight pain numbed her.

Chen Lin finally reacted. The surgery was over.

Perhaps the anesthesia had not completely worn off, so her pain was not very obvious.

“Doctor, doctor!” Chen Lin did not dare to move anymore and only called out.

Soon, a nurse ran in and said, “Miss Chen, what’s wrong?”

“Is my plastic surgery done?” Chen Lin immediately asked.

The nurse nodded and said, “Yes, Miss Chen, but Doctor Yao instructed that your wound is relatively big. You can’t be discharged yet. You have to rest for one to three days.”

Chen Lin nodded and thought of something. She grabbed the nurse’s arm and asked, “Is there a mirror?”
