Everyone knows Lu Jin'an loves me more than life itself. He’d even dare cross the local kingpin for my sake.
Until, on the eve of our wedding, I overheard him talking with his friends. “I heard Brother Shen is going to marry her. Don’t tell me he’s really fallen for her!”
His brow was cold, his face full of disdain. “If it weren’t for her parents, mine wouldn’t have been in that car accident. How could I possibly fall for her? This is the only way to make sure she gets hurt as badly as possible in the end.”
Standing outside the door, I felt as if I’d fallen into an icy abyss.
So all his kindness had been part of a scheme. But that same car accident had taken my parents, too, leaving me an orphan anyone could bully.
I wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes and quietly played along with his act.
Behind his back, I bought an uninhabited island no one could find. All I had to do was wait for the paperwork to go through, then disappear forever.
