Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Senior Feng, listen to me, okay? You need to understand even if I were her, I would never go back with you. You basically abandoned her then, no girl would ever be able to trust you, even if she loved you like crazy. Have you ever given a thought to her perspective?", she said in a tender voice, as if trying to cajole a child. They were harsh words and she had no idea how he would react to them. He was in a volatile condition right now for sure. If he was not holding her wrists so crudely, she probably would have even patted or hugged him.

Indeed, her words pierced his heart. He had known it all along but to hear it from his last hope? It was crushing. He loosened his grip on her in shock and dropped on his knees. His mind and face both were blank. Mei Qingyang didn't know whether he was crying or not. But he was so close to her legs and it was an awkward position too.

And of course, at this moment, rain had to start pouring in. She did not know what to do anymore or how Feng Yue was at that moment. She was too afraid to look at him directly. But still, she knelt down and patted his back. She wanted the guy to let all his sorrow out. He probably had never shed even a single tear for the person he had lost.

Suddenly, he started crying very hard. He looked up to her with red eyes. Even in the heavy rain, she could feel his hot tears falling down her arm. But, she definitely did not feel anything for him. She just wanted to be there for him as a fellow human being. There was nothing more to it. Here heart had turned icy cold long time back. This fellow definitely did not faze her at all.

However, not expressing the pain would be agonizing to any human being. The extreme emotions always needed to be purged from one's system to behave normally, otherwise those feelings would render the person emotionally unstable. Mei Qingyang hoped, that with this, Feng Yue would finally get to make a new start.

-----------------------------------------

"Do you see them sister Fan? They look so intimate. He even knelt before her. Is he proposing?" In the darkness of the staircase, behind the entrance to the rooftop, Gu Layue was fanning flames of jealousy in Fan Ruyi.

Gu Layue had finally found the information she was missing. She had closed herself in her room for the whole weekend and devoured through all the information from all the sources she could get her hands on. Her assistant and her spent two nights without sleeping on finding any clue regarding this group of people, especially Mei Qingyang. They bribed, flogged and killed, just to learn more about the group's dynamics.

Luck was on her side this time, someone had heard Fan Ruyi mention to Su Lang that she was not interested in Yu Tian. From there, she went on to watch their recordings and pictures, getting subtle hints from her movements and behavior. She even hired a few great behavioral experts of the country and consulted them for more hints. They all came to the conclusion that she was indeed attracted to Feng Yue.

*Damn this girl, she hid so well the fact that she was not into Yu Tian. Was she just helping him all these years?* If Gu Layue had known earlier that she had no rival in real life, she would have approached Yu Tian in a different way and perhaps more aggressively. Still, that eliminated the strongest opponent she thought she had. Mei Qingyang, on the other hand, was just a bug, easy to stomp under her feet.

They were far enough that they could not hear anything. And the rain had started, so their visibility also decreased. All they saw was him holding her hands, then kneeling down and Mei Qingyang hugging him.

Mei Qingyang had a bad feeling about this since the beginning. But she had no choice but to face this all head on. Unfortunately, she had too many powerful enemies if she had powerful friends too.

Fan Ruyi felt heartbroken. Qing Qing had definitely told her that she was not interested in Feng Yue and even had noticed her liking for him. Why would she do this now?

Reason dictated that she should go and ask her friend directly what all this was about. But emotions took over and she left the place in fury. That girl, who had nothing, who took all the help from her, who used her, could not even keep a promise?

She was having this internal debate with small mind figures around her. One side said that there was more to the situation and she should clarify it from Mei Qingyang. Other side told her that Mei Qingyang was the one who had called Feng Yue on the rooftop, so she was the one who had schemes against her love.

Where was Yu Tian at this time? He was even unreachable. She really needed a third party observer to hear their opinions. Perhaps she could consult Su Lang. She went stomping her feet in a fit of anger, leaving behind a smiling Gu Layue. She had finally achieved her goal and made Fan Ruyi turn against Mei Qingyang. Now all she needed to do was use Yu Rong and solidify this crack between the two and convert it into a wedge.

She immediately messaged Yu Rong that Fan Ruyi had gotten upset with Mei Qingyang for some reason and it was good to strike while iron was hot. Yu Rong got incredibly pleased reading the message. She had been waiting for such a chance since long. This Gu girl finally came in handy. With Yu Tian not here and out of touch, she could totally take whatever actions she wanted. It was time to reveal a few trump cards.
