Chapter 1678: Really Wish I Could Forget It Forever

Wei Yangyang was truly anxious, the corners of her eyes still red.

Jiang Motian explained, "I went out to sketch, and my phone was accidentally on silent. Let's go inside and talk."

As she spoke, Jiang Motian pulled Wei Yangyang's hand, and they walked into the Art Studio together.

She first poured a glass of water for Wei Yangyang, then sat down beside her and asked, "You were scared, weren't you?"

Wei Yangyang thought Jiang Motian was referring to the unanswered phone calls, so she said, "Not that, I was just a bit anxious."

"No, I mean, when facing my brother, you were scared, right?"

Jiang Motian's words made Wei Yangyang immediately recall the scene of being interrogated by Li Xingyan...

This memory was too suffocating!

Wei Yangyang's little face turned pale!

She had been like this since she was a child; whenever she saw Li Xingyan, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, terrified to the core.

When she was little, she thought it would get better when she grew up.

But upon growing up, she discovered... this fear is for a lifetime!

It was truly hopeless!

Watching Wei Yangyang's devastated expression, Jiang Motian couldn't help but sigh, "My brother isn't going to eat you, why are you so afraid?"

"He won't eat people, but his gaze is terrifying; it can make people have nightmares!"

"Nightmares? Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'm a living example! From childhood to now, how many nightmares have I had!!"

Worried that Jiang Motian wouldn't believe her, Wei Yangyang widened her eyes, looking earnest.

Jiang Motian looked at the head leaning in toward her...

She sighed silently.

She even reached out to stroke Wei Yangyang's hair, thinking to herself how much psychological trauma her eldest brother had caused this girl...

What a sin!

After pulling her hand back, Jiang Motian promised, "I'll ask my brother to smile at you more often later, and to be more amiable when he interacts with you."

Let Li Xingyan smile at her?

That image... just thinking about it was horrifying!

Wei Yangyang hurriedly refused, "I'd rather he never appear in my life again; let's just leave each other in peace!"

After saying this, Wei Yangyang realized the topic had veered off course.

She hadn't come to find Jiang Motian today to talk about her own nightmares!

Wei Yangyang rubbed her face and then got back to the point: "Since your brother already knows Xie Wanyi is back, I'm afraid he'll pick a fight with Xie Wanyi!"

Suddenly hearing the name Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian couldn't help but lower her eyelashes, covering the flicker in her eyes.

Only then did she say, "Xie Wanyi hasn't done anything excessive, so what reason would my brother have to pick a fight with him?"

"Does your brother need a reason to pick a fight?"

This retort... was inexplicably somewhat logical.

Jiang Motian was left unable to refute it.

Since she couldn't refute it, Jiang Motian offered a solution: "I will talk to my brother."

"Just you talking alone might not have enough weight. Why not ask your mother to help too!"

"No need, me alone is enough. Although my brother is stubborn, he is still reasonable."

"Stubborn... and reasonable? Listen to yourself—isn't that contradictory?"

Hmm...

Jiang Motian rubbed her forehead with her fingers and rephrased it: "I mean, he is a reasonable person and won't be self-willed."

This made Wei Yangyang curl her lip.

She looked completely unconvinced.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian felt helpless.

It seemed Li Xingyan hadn't just caused Wei Yangyang psychological trauma; his image in Wei Yangyang's heart wasn't very good either.

After a light sigh, Jiang Motian decided to share some real advice: "Let me tell you a secret: there's a trick to negotiating with my brother."

This advice immediately piqued Wei Yangyang's interest.

She leaned closer to Jiang Motian and asked, "What trick?"

"Step on his landmines."

Wei Yangyang was quiet for a moment, then...

She asked in disbelief, "Are you telling me to negotiate or to risk my life?!"

Wei Yangyang's reaction was truly cute; this time, Jiang Motian couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

Seeing Jiang Motian still laughing, Wei Yangyang urged, "Oh, be serious, why are you still giggling!"

"Yes, yes, you're risking your life and I'm still laughing; that's indeed not right!"

"You... hmph!"

Wei Yangyang crossed her arms, looking puffed up with anger.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian quickly reined in her laughter and returned to the point: "The reason my brother wants to trouble Xie Wanyi is to stand up for me, so what if his behavior actually causes me and Xie Wanyi to become entangled?"

Although Jiang Motian's final words were a rhetorical question, they made Wei Yangyang realize something.

She even nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Afterward, she looked at Jiang Motian thoughtfully.

Jiang Motian didn't expect her to stare at her with such a gaze, so she asked, "What?"

Wei Yangyang had been accompanying Jiang Motian the entire time that day.

Therefore, she had clearly sensed the changes in Jiang Motian's emotions.

She also knew...

That Jiang Motian getting drunk was absolutely because of Xie Wanyi.

Since that was the case...

"Tiantian, have you still not let go?"

Jiang Motian immediately widened her eyes: "Why wouldn't I have let go? What is there for me to not let go of? How long have he and I even known each other! Strictly speaking, we don't even count as friends!"

If one were to listen purely to Jiang Motian's words, they would feel they were deafeningly profound and made so much sense!

But looking at her expression at this moment...

Four words appeared in Wei Yangyang's mind: outwardly strong but inwardly weak!

As a good friend, Wei Yangyang truly hoped that Jiang Motian could let go.

So she held Jiang Motian's hand and said earnestly: "No one can live in the past forever; you have to look forward."

Jiang Motian was somewhat speechless.

She gripped Wei Yangyang's hand back and said in a solemn tone: "Have a little faith in me, it's just a small matter!"

"Alright, I have faith in you, but in the future... can you please not get drunk?"

After they parted ways at the bar that day, Wei Yangyang sent Jiang Motian a message to confirm if she had arrived home safely.

And after Jiang Motian replied to Wei Yangyang with an OK gesture, the two of them did not bring up the matter of the drunkenness again.

Now, Wei Yangyang suddenly brought it up with deep meaning...

Jiang Motian suddenly had a rather ominous premonition.

She asked tentatively: "After I got drunk, what did I do?"

"Have you forgotten? You bit such a large tooth mark onto Xie Wanyi's face; it probably still hasn't faded even now!"

Wei Yangyang's words were no different from a bolt from the blue, striking Jiang Motian firmly to the ground!!

She could not believe it!

She still asked in a final death struggle: "Are you sure... it was me who bit him?"

"It could only have been you who bit him, and you kept shouting about wanting to break his head! Xie Wanyi probably feared being hurt by you, which is why he pinned you onto the sofa."

He, he even pinned her onto the sofa!?

Damn it, why didn't she remember any of this!

Jiang Motian had ultimately suffered a blackout from drinking.

And the part that was missing happened to be the part that would cause her social death.

If she could, she really wished she would never remember it for the rest of her life!

Jiang Motian raised her hands to cover her face, as if she had no face to see anyone.

Wei Yangyang tilted her head and looked at Jiang Motian.

Gradually, from Jiang Motian's behavior, she associated it with something else: "Tiantian... Xie Wanyi didn't bully you, did he?"

"... No."

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
