Chapter 221: Telling the Truth
âMengyan, there are things we canât really control! I canât do anything to change something that has happened already. I can only do my best to solve it!â Yang Ming was being emotional. He wanted to tell everything to Chen Mengyan, but he didnât know how it would turn out.
âIt wasnât your wish? Then are you telling me that I asked you to do it?â Chen Mengyan sneered.
âProbablyâŠâ Yang Ming stuttered.
âWhat are you saying?â Chen Mengyan didnât think Yang Ming would say that. She became furious. âYang Ming, you need to tell me everything! Whatâs going on?â
âMengyan, I donât want to lie⊠Her name is Lan Ling. I met her during the holiday after Grade 12.â Yang Ming sighed slowly, âI brought her back from YunnanâŠâ
Chen Mengyan stared at Yang Ming. She really wanted to hear the explanation of this unfaithful man.
âShe is really pitiful. She lost her mom when she was young. Then, her father had a gambling addiction. After her father lost all the money, he sold her to a bath center and forced her to sell her bodyâŠâ
âSo, you brought back a prost.i.tute out of kindness?â Chen Mengyan was enraged. She could a.n.a.lyze reasonably if she wasnât angry, so her questions were picking on Yang Ming.
âThat was the first time for her and meâŠâ Yang Ming had no choice but to say, âSheâs only eighteen years old! I didnât want her to be ruined at that place, so I brought her back.â
âYou went to the bath center⊠yet you still want to reason about it?â Although Chen Mengyan pitied Lan Ling, this thing was still not related to Yang Ming. If he didnât go to the bath center, he wouldnât have encountered such a matter.
âI wasnât being reasonable⊠Actually I was agitated because of you. I didnât know what you heard from w.a.n.g Zhitao but your att.i.tude toward me had changed 180 degrees!â Yang Ming sighed, âAt that time, Zhang Bing wanted to go to Yunnan, so I went along with him to ease my pain. Under the condition of a broken heart, I was easily being influenced by Zhang Bing. I thought you didnât want to bother with me anymore, so I wanted to vent out the negative feelingâŠâ
Chen Mengyan blushed when Yang Ming reminded her of the incident of w.a.n.g Zhitaoâs slander. Yang Ming must be disappointed because of her att.i.tude. But even if you were disappointed, you canât look for a prost.i.tute! She had softened her tone, âDidnât I give you a call to apologize after thatâŠâ
âBut I had already brought Lan Ling back by that time! This was why I was avoiding you in the beginning⊠because I didnât know what to do! I love you, and I donât want to lose you. But I didnât want to lose Lan Ling too!â Yang Ming explained.
âAlright, I know this canât be undone. Iâm not asking whether I or Lan Ling is more important. I just want to know. Who do you choose?â Chen Mengyan decided to give him one last chance. Based on his explanation, he shouldnât be blamed for his fault!
âMengyan, please donât make me do this. Both of you are important to me.â Yang Ming said firmly, âBesides, there is another reason that I couldnât give up on Lan Ling⊠and I really do love her.â
âIs that so? What are you doing here? Go look for your Lan Ling quickly!â Chen Mengyan was embarra.s.sed and furious. Since you canât give up on her, then why are you still talking to me?
âBut I donât want to lose you too!â Yang Ming said clearly.
âDonât want to lose me?â Chen Mengyan was stunned. Then, she mocked him. âYang Ming, are you dreaming? Do you want me and Lan Ling to be your girlfriends? Then you can have your harem?â
âThatâs⊠what I meanâŠâ Yang Ming scratched his head embarra.s.sed.
âWhy donât you kill yourself?â Chen Mengyan was outraged by the statement. âYour idea is too modern or ancient. I just canât take it.â
âMengyan, you need to hear me out. The other reason that I canât leave Lan Ling is the voodoo I got from her mother.â Yang Ming didnât want to hide anymore. He decided to get Chen Mengyan at all cost.
âYang Ming, didnât you said that her mother was dead?â Chen Mengyan was dumbfounded.
âBefore her mother died, she left something on Lan Ling. Lan Ling is from the Miao Tribe, and her mother was a voodoo master in the Miao Tribe.â Yang Ming shook his head. âThe man who has s.e.x with Lan Ling will get this kind of voodoo. If the man leaves Lan Ling, he will explodeâŠâ
Yang Ming told her everything about the voodoo and the resentment between her mother and her father.
âReally?â Chen Mengyan was doubtful. She was a modern person with a proper science education so she couldnât understand these kinds of mysterious things. But she wasnât being ignorant. She still could listen to it since she was young.
âWhy would I lieâŠâ Yang Ming gave off a bitter smile. âYou will know after you see her.â
âAfter? What do you mean?â Chen Mengyan regained her reasoning.
âHer grandmother had taken her back to Yunnan. She wanted to teach Lan Ling about voodoo. It will take from one to three yearsâŠâ Yang Ming said unhappily.
âBack to Yunnan?â Chen Mengyan was delighted for a moment. But she was low-spirited when she heard Lan Ling was coming back.
Yang Ming noticed Chen Mengyan wasnât angry anymore, so he quickly changed the topic. He wanted to make Chen Mengyan feel wronged for him. Then, she could accept him easily. So he said, âMengyan, what did w.a.n.g Zhitao tell you? You didnât know how much pain I felt at that time. If I didnât promise you that I would go to Song Jiang Industry University, I donât think I could manage to score in the exam! I was thinking about you all the timeâŠâ
Chen Mengyan was stunned by Yang Ming! Yeah! Why did I never think of the possibility that Yang Ming could be affected during National Higher Education Entrance Examination? She blamed w.a.n.g Zhitao and felt sorry for Yang Ming at the same time. So she said with embarra.s.sment, âSorry⊠I shouldnât really have trusted w.a.n.g Zhitao⊠He gave me a stack of photos showing you getting caught by the police at the entrance of Tavern Heaven on Earth⊠He said you were caught for calling a prost.i.tute⊠but I think the photos were made up on the computer.â
Yang Ming was astounded. So w.a.n.g Zhitao was behind all this! w.a.n.g Zhitao, I didnât want to bother with you lately, but I never expected you to be so evil. âAlright, enough already.â
Yang Ming muttered. He didnât want to lie to Chen Mengyan anymore. She would know about Lin Zhiyun in the future. If Chen Mengyan knew he was lying to her, she would definitely be angry. So he decided to tell everything in one shot. He would ask for forgiveness after that.
âMengyan, I still have one thing I need to tell youâŠâ Yang Ming acted in a regretful manner.
âWhat is that?â Something clicked in Chen Mengyanâs head. Was w.a.n.g Zhitao telling the truth?
âThe photos that w.a.n.g Zhitao gave you â the person in the photo is me but he framed me!â So Yang Ming told her about going to Tavern Heaven on Earth for dinner. Then, he was drugged and had s.e.x with Lin Zhiyun. He nearly became a rapistâŠ
Chen Mengyan was furious about w.a.n.g Zhitao. After I get home, I need to tell my dad to let him be judged by the law.
âWhy are you telling me this? So youâre saying that if one day you meet this girl, you will ask her to be your girlfriend?â Chen Mengyan was clever, so she immediately understood Yang Mingâs intention.
âIâm a man, so I should be responsible for what I did. I have wronged her, so I have to compensate for her!â Yang Ming said in a determined manner.
âIs there anything else to tell me?â Chen Mengyan sighed lightly. Her endurance was growing stronger. At least she wasnât agitated so much this time.
Yang Ming noticed the changes in Chen Mengyanâs expression. Is this the chance? âThereâs nothing more to say⊠about the incident⊠I touched your bosom in the cinemaâŠâ
âShut up!â Chen Mengyan glared Yang Ming and pointed at the door. âYou can leave now.â
âHuh?â Yang Ming was confused. Why is she asking me to leave? She wasnât angry anymore. So theoretically, it should be the sign for accepting me. Why did she return to the previous state after I said that?
