The Sweetest Medicine

“Jiayu, how have you been recently? I’ve been feeling guilty since we returned from Antarctica. I think of you all the time and I’ve considered looking for you, but I was worried you’d ignore me.”

As Zhang Yuzhi spoke, she tried to hold Lin Jiayu’s hand.

It was like a snake clinging to one’s hand; evil and cold. Lin Jiayu immediately retracted her hand.

She did not use any strength; she simply pulled back.

But, Zhang Yuzhi suddenly leaned backwards as though Lin Jiayu had pushed her.

Li Nansheng, who was watching, immediately rushed over.

As he held onto Zhang Yuzhi anxiously, he asked, “Yuzhi, how are you? Are you hurt?”

Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes were red as she looked at Li Nansheng and shook her head.

She then looked at Lin Jiayu and said, “Jiayu, we were once best friends. I really don’t want to lose a friend like you. If hitting me and scolding me makes you feel better, I am willing to endure it. As long as you forgive me.”

Seeing the woman’s pitiful act, Li Nansheng’s heart ached. He turned to Lin Jiayu and said, “Lin Jiayu, what are you trying to do? Yuzhi already apologized to you. Why are you still so arrogant and heartless?”

“Nansheng, don’t say that,” Zhang Yuzhi furrowed her brows and pushed Li Nansheng’s hand unhappily while shaking her head.

She then looked at Lin Jiayu and said apologetically, “Jiayu, don’t be mad. Nansheng still cares about you. If you can forgive me, I can leave and let you guys be together.”

Li Nansheng was angry, “What are you saying? You’re the one that I like!”

“Nansheng.”

Zhang Yuzhi’s eyes were red as she looked at Li Nansheng pitifully. Her expression triggered the man’s protective desires.

Li Nansheng’s heart ached. He hugged Zhang Yuzhi and said to Lin Jiayu, “Enough, Lin Jiayu! Did you think I’d return to your side if you keep clinging to me? Let me tell you that I love Yuzhi. I didn’t break up with you because of her. It was because we weren’t a good match. I didn’t like your personality. Even if Yuzhi didn’t exist, I still wouldn’t have stayed with you. We would have broken up sooner or later.”

Lin Jiayu remained silent.

She was emotionless as though she was watching the scene as an outsider.

But, Yu Gangan was sure that Lin Jiayu was suffering on the inside.

This Zhang Yuzhi was full of tricks, posing as a delicate flower in front of the man. How could a cold, direct and hot-tempered person like Lin Jiayu compete?

It was no surprise that Zhang Yuzhi managed to steal her boyfriend.

But, a blind scumbag like Li Nansheng was lucky that he got seduced by someone like Zhang Yuzhi. Otherwise, he would ruin Lin Jiayu’s life.

Yu Gangan leaned back in her chair and ran her hand across her glass. She then said coldly in ridicule, “I’ve seen people with thick skin, but never this thick. Suddenly showing up and apologizing and offering their boyfriend as though they’re afraid that people don’t know about their disgusting deeds.”

Zhang Yuzhi looked at Yu Gangan in surprise, “Who are you talking about? What did you say?”

Yu Gangan laughed mockingly and said with disdain, “I was talking about a scumbag and a sl*t, is that you?”

Zhang Yuzhi denied loudly, “Of course not.”

Yu Gangan spread her palms and asked innocently, “If you aren’t, then why are you responding to my words?”

Zhang Yuzhi choked on her words as she whined to Li Nansheng in anger and panic.
