Song Kai clicked on a video and listened to the conversation in it with a gloomy expression.
He used to think that Lu Linlin was just a bossy young miss but now it seemed that this woman was crazy!
Anyone could see that he had feelings for Tang Beibei, but Tang Beibei kept her distance from him and only treated him as a senior and a friend.
He also knew that he was in no position to make promises to Tang Beibei because he was weak, so he always wanted to maintain their friendship.
But now that Lu Linlin had messed things up, Beibei would hold a grudge against him, and they might not even be friends anymore.
He took a few deep breaths before he called Lu Linlin and asked her out for dinner.
Lu Linlin thought that Song Kai was asking her out on a date, so she was dressed to the nines, with delicate makeup that reflected her joy and excitement.
When she saw Song Kai outside the restaurant, she ran over to him excitedly. Her face was red from excitement, and her eyes sparkled when she looked at him.
Her feelings for him were obvious.
Song Kai wasn’t going to give her a good time at first, but when he met her eyes that were filled with emotion, he hesitated for a moment.
He was using her love for him. Therefore, he also had no right to despise her because she liked him.
The two of them walked into the restaurant together. When they were eating, Song Kai asked her, “Did you get someone to make the video that’s circulating on the internet?”
Lu Linlin knew which video he was referring to and looked at him in surprise. “How can you suspect me? I’m not that bored.”
Seeing her disdainful expression, Song Kai’s temper flared a little as he showed her the video.
“If you are not that bored, why did you find Tang Beibei and said those things to her? Lu Linlin, I’ll ask you one last time. Did you get someone to make this video?”
Lu Linlin felt wronged. “Song Kai, don’t forget who your fiancee is!”
“You are actually questioning me because of Tang Beibei? Yes, 1 went to warn her, but I’m not that stupid to let the whole world know that my fiance is after another woman!”
Song Kai stared at her to make sure that she didn’t look guilty. “If it wasn’t you, then who? Who would make this video and post it online?”
“How would I know who has a grudge against Tang Beibei? A woman like Tang Beibei is promiscuous. She’s already married, but she’s still having affairs with other men. She asked for it!”
Song Kai couldn’t take it anymore. When he got up, his chair was pushed back very loudly.
Lu Linlin was shocked and glared at him unhappily. “Song I lai, what are you doing? You can’t bear to see Tang Beibei suffer, so you’re here to find fault with me? This is our date, but you keep talking about other women. Am 1 not allowed to say something?”
Song Kai took a deep breath. He was trying to get along with her, but Lu Linlin didn’t know her limits.
“Lu Linlin, do you know why 1 don’t like you?”
Lu Linlin’s eyes turned red when she heard him say that he didn’t like her.
“Why?”
“Because you are arrogant just because you’re the young miss of the Lu family. Your arrogance is disgusting. When you belittle others with bad language, it shows how cheap and annoying you are!”
Lu Linlin suppressed her anger. She knew that she was a bossy young miss but she couldn’t stand Tang Beibei’s behavior and she just wanted to scold her. But she didn’t expect Song Kai to think of her like that.
Song Kai took a deep breath and continued, “Do you know why I like Tang Beibei?”
“Because she has an innocent smile and looks at things very purely. She is sincere toward people and things. Even if she doesn’t like someone, she will never speak ill of them or be mean to them.”
Seeing that Lu Linlin was about to refute him, Song Kai added, “Lu Linlin, don’t quibble. You said that I see Tang Beibei through rose-tinted glasses but she’s not perfect.”
“In fact, she’s not that good. She’s not the best looking, not the most talented, and not capable enough to help me, but she’s irreplaceable.”
“At the very least, she can replace you and your tendency to blame others.”
“Lu Linlin, why don’t you remember your own tarnished reputation, that you once slept in the same bed with your father, when you insult others?”
The man’s last sentence pierced her heart like a sword. Lu Linlin’s eyes widened in shock with welled up tears.
She thought that this man would help her and wouldn’t care about her past.
Song Kai looked at her sorrowful expression and said frankly, “There are some things that I didn’t want to say, but you slandered her so brazenly. I want you to have a taste of what it feels like to be framed and insulted!”
Lu Linlin burst into tears and shouted, “Song Kai, how can you hurt me like this for her? 1’11 make you regret it!”
Song Kai sneered. “You know that I hurt you, so 1 apologize. Have you ever thought of apologizing when you hurt others?”
Lu Linlin cried until her makeup was ruined. Her fake eyelashes fell, and her eyes were smudged. She looked like a hot mess.
Song Kai continued, “I admit that 1 got engaged to you because 1 wanted to use you. 1 don’t want you to compare yourself to Tang Beibei and I hope that we respect each other. If you don’t agree, then this engagement is a joke. Let’s call it off!”
“No, don’t call it off. Song Kai, 1 was wrong.” Lu Linlin grabbed his arm in fear, unwilling to leave him.
“Now that you know your mistake, what should you do?” Song Kai asked coldly.
Lu Linlin sobbed. “1 know. I’ll apologize.”
Song Kai then emphasized, “Also, those online comments started because of you. Think of a way to deal with them. You’re the young miss of the Lu family. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to handle it, right?”
“I’ll handle it.”
Lu Linlin lowered her head and said with a flash of hatred in her eyes.
The more Song Kai protected Tang Beibei, the more she wanted to destroy her!
Song Kai sat down again and asked Lu Linlin to call Tang Beibei and apologize.
Lu Linlin put on an act in front of him and reluctantly apologized to Tang Beibei. She also told Tang Beibei that she would deal with the online comments.
Tang Beibei was silent for a few seconds before she said, “Lu Linlin, I’ve never wanted to compete with you for Senior Song Kai.”
“As for your apology, um, you’ve apologized to me before, but you didn’t seem to mean it, so I won’t forgive you this time.”
Hearing Tang Beibei end the call, Lu Linlin was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone. She apologized and even gave Tang Beibei face. That b*tch!
She mocked Song Kai, “This is the woman you admire. I apologized but she’s not that magnanimous.”
Song Kai looked at her like she was an idiot. The Tang Beibei he knew was someone who didn’t want to cause trouble, but she was not a saint either.
She was tolerant and forgiving but she had her own principles and grouch.
“You made a mistake, and you expect others to forgive you just because you said sorry? Lu Linlin, who do you think you are?”
“…” Lu Linlin felt stumped and angry.
Since he knew that Tang Beibei would not forgive her, why did he ask her to apologize to her? Wasn’t he just bullying her because she loved him?
She hated Song Kai for protecting Tang Beibei, but she also loved Song Kai.
He was her unrequited young love, and he was the one who reached out to her and said that he would help her when she was in despair.
This love and hate made her heart wrench..
