Chapter 1005 - A Chance to Turn Back (1/2)

“He’s just a fake person.” Song Yiyan’s hands unconsciously tangled together, and her heart started to ache slightly. Her lips curled up bitterly as she smiled mockingly. “Sheng Sheng, he’s a person in my dream. You can’t expect me to save myself for a person in my dream and wait for him forever!”

She wasn’t stupid either. She could still distinguish between dreams and reality clearly. Ji Xing was just someone in her dreams. Besides, she had not dreamed of him again in a long, long time.

The night before the engagement, she had prayed in her heart that he would appear again. As long as he told her not to get engaged, she might not have gotten engaged. She would have hung in there. However, he did not. He wasn’t around anymore. He wouldn’t appear anymore.

“What if he’s not? What if he’s not the illusory figure in your dream but a tangible person who will truly appear?” Ling Sheng looked at her seriously. “Are you willing to rebel against your fate for him? Do you love him?”

“I don’t know.” After saying that, Song Yiyan’s tears started falling again. She held Ling Sheng’s hand as her body started trembling uncontrollably.

“Song Yiyan.” Ling Sheng was beginning to get annoyed. She grabbed her shoulders and locked onto her eyes. “Look into my eyes and tell me that you’re living for yourself, not for others. Think about it carefully. If you follow their demands and get married and have children, will you regret it in the future? Is the life they arrange for you the kind that you want?”

She had once told her that she had to wake her up as soon as possible, but she did not look like she was going to awaken at all.

“Sheng Sheng, I don’t know either. I don’t dare. I’m afraid of my dad and grandpa. They said that since I’m a member of the Song Family, I should think about the Song Family and its future.”

“I’m not the only one who has sacrificed for the Song Family’s future either. My grandparents, my parents, and my uncles aren’t together with their spouses because they love each other either. Aren’t they also doing pretty well now?” After saying that, Song Yiyan looked at her enviously. “Not everyone is like you. Your grandparents dote on you. Although your father will snap at you, he still won’t stop you from doing what you want. No matter what you do, your mother will support you unconditionally. You still have the Third Master who dotes on you and loves you. I don’t have that. I don’t have anything.”

Even Ji Xing didn’t want her now. He must be disgusted that she was too weak and didn’t like someone like her. That was probably why he had left!

“This is not an excuse for you to compromise or escape.” Ling Sheng’s eyes turned somber as she sighed. Then, she added, “Your fate belongs to you. I can’t decide it for you, and they have no right to decide your life too.”

“Then what should I do? I’m already engaged.” Song Yiyan covered her face and started crying. Her shoulders shook violently. “What should I do? Exactly what should I do?”

Ling Sheng knew that she could not agitate her at this point in time anymore. She had lived in that kind of environment since she was young, and it had already affected her judgment and autonomy imperceptibly. She hugged her gently. “You guys aren’t married yet. There’s still a chance to turn back. Think carefully. Exactly what do you want? Don’t regret it only after you’re married.”

Song Yiyan cried for a long, long time before she finally stopped. She wiped away her tears and looked at Ling Sheng. “I’ll use this time to think about it properly. Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?” Ling Sheng thought, I still have to thank you. When you awaken, there will be a lot of things I need to ask you to do. She wiped her tears for her. “Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore. Where are you going later?”

Song Yiyan wanted to go to the hospital to visit Screenwriter Liu. After all, Dongfang Fan had assaulted him because of her and even sent him to the hospital.

On Ling Sheng’s side, she had already reached the top of the hottest search topics due to the incident of her beating someone up. After some scheming people started to hype things up, no one cared about the truth. Even if she clarified it, no one would watch. Who didn’t know how to do damage control in a public relations crisis? Assault was assault. They wouldn’t stop until they had ruined her reputation. They said that she was throwing her weight around and was out of control. They said that her parents were impressive as the Best Actor and Best Actress, and that she was a useless second-generation heir who dragged her parents down.

Nangong Lengyu switched off her phone and looked at her daughter. “I’ll go find Dongfang Meng and get her to help clarify.”
