His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 344

Since Shi Guang was still going to treat Huo Zhan and Li Fangfei to dinner later on, she decided to not head back to school, and had Lu Yanchen send her to her little auntie’s place.

As the car reached the apartment vicinity, they caught sight of her little auntie’s husband chatting with a woman at the stairs.

Shi Guang could not help but squint her eyes.

The two of them were standing at an angle such that she could only make out the back of the woman’s head. She had a head of short hair, was tall and slim, and wore fashionable clothes, looking like a complete white collared elite.

Shi Guang could not tell what the two of them were talking about, but they seemed really intimate.

The way her little uncle was looking at that woman was really tender, and he even suddenly reached out and helped the woman comb a few loose strands of hair at the side of her head.

Seeing that, Shi Guang frowned and hurriedly pushed the car door open before striding forth with huge strides, shouting from afar, “Little uncle!”

Too much! To think that he would behave so intimately with another woman right beneath their doorsteps!

What does he take little auntie for now?

When both of them heard her voice, their heads turned together.

At that moment, Shi Guang could make out the face of the other woman properly now—it was clean and pristine. No wonder…

It was her cousin!

She smiled out brightly immediately, “Cousin, you’re back? When did you return! Why are you standing here? Where is little auntie and grandma?”

Her little uncle replied, “She went out for a walk with your grandma. I gave them a call, and they should be returning soon. Your cousin misses grandma, and insisted on waiting here for them to return.”

Mo Jin was smiling as well. But when she caught sight of Lu Yanchen in the car behind, her smile froze.

Lu Yanchen’s expression was cold the entire time. Without saying anything much, he drove off.

Her little uncle went looking for her little auntie and grandma, leaving the two cousins to converse with one another.

“Say, Mo Jin, what’s with the huge changes! I can barely recognize you anymore…!”

“Who did you take me for earlier then? The way you yelled out so loudly, you must have thought that I was my dad’s little mistress outside or something, right?” Mo Jin could not help but want to laugh.

Shi Guang denied it thoroughly, “N-Nonono! I thought that you were some pretty babe asking for directions!”

“Sure, sure! You really think I don’t know you well enough?”

…

Before long, their conversation topic turned to Lu Yanchen.

“When I knew that you had met with Lu Yanchen once more, I should have known that the two of you would get involved again somehow… But, do you remember what you had promised me back then?”

“When we first met again, I thought about whether or not I wanted to hate him, whether or not I wanted to ask him why. At the same time, I decided that I would never ever get back with him ever again. But, many things happened afterward… I can’t even choose to NOT see him right now… I always thought that as humans, even if there were differences in our statuses, there shouldn’t be much difference in our basis as being humans.”

With that, Shi Guang gave off a bitter laugh, “But how wrong I was…”

This society was nothing more than a food chain, where it was survival of the fittest. Toward people above oneself on the ladder, there was never ever the privilege of saying no.

Mo Jin frowned. “All the more you shouldn’t get married to him.”

Shi Guang sighed, “It’s not as though you don’t know how grandma was at that time. Back then, I could only agree to it to accommodate grandma. Be it a fake or real marriage, it doesn’t matter. All I want is for grandma to be fine…”

Mo Jin reminded her, “But, if you were to get married to him, Yang Sitong would be like a curse that you would never be able to erase. She would definitely not stand by idly.”

“Lu Yanchen has already promised me that he will not let Yang Sitong harm my family.”

“Can you trust his words?”

“After meeting him again, I found out that there were certain things that weren’t like I had thought of them to be. Even if I were to go ignore them intentionally, I can’t help but acknowledge that Lu Yanchen treats me really well. He isn’t as cold and aloof as I had always thought of him to be…”
