Chapter 6: A True Friend Stabs You in the Heart with a Borrowed Knife (Part 2)

  After figuring out Wang Sheng's identity, Luo Shuai felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Ye Wen's lover was actually a woman, he didn't know if Shen Yang could accept this, how to deal with this situation now? The one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, Luo Shuai winked at Ye Wen and whispered: "Ye Wen, this is ultimately your fault. If you still have feelings for Yangzi, hurry up and apologize, fortunately you haven't made any irreparable mistakes, I hope Yangzi can forgive you. As your old friend, I don't want to see you two become enemies either."

  Ye Wen was also a very intelligent woman, understanding that Luo Shuai was thinking of her. Moreover, she still deeply loved Shen Yangmei in her heart. As for her relationship with Wang Sheng, she actually couldn't clearly say how it had become so complicated and confusing after being tempted by Wang Sheng, leading to the current situation that made her feel ashamed. After shaking off Wang Sheng's grasp, Ye Wen carefully walked into the bedroom.

  …………

  When Shen Yang looked clearly at the "new boyfriend" of Ye Wen, who was kicked to the ground by himself, and found that it was a woman, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. But seeing the woman struggling to get up from the ground, with her short hair, long eyes, and slightly hooked nose, made her look very masculine. However, no matter how masculine she looked, her high chest, and the black spot between her legs, all indicated that this was indeed a woman, genuine and authentic. Not only was it a woman, but also someone he was extremely familiar with, having interacted with her more than once. Wang Sheng, the daughter of Wang Decai, the county party secretary of Jiaoliang County, a well-known tomboy in the entire Quyang City.

  Watching Wang Sheng struggle to get up from the ground, she glared at him fiercely and quickly rushed out of the bedroom. Shen Yang's eyebrows seemed to suddenly lose all their strength, and he fell back onto his butt.

  Sitting on the big bed in his bedroom, he felt a mix of emotions: sadness, anger, pain, but more than anything, bitterness. After all, he was no longer the naive young man he used to be. Over the past twenty years, he had experienced the extravagance and absurdity of city life, making his thoughts far ahead of anyone else's. As a result, he had become more tolerant of Ye Wen and Wang Sheng's pretentious games. However, the endless frustration in his heart had nowhere to vent. The person who had made him bear twenty years of humiliation was a woman, and the thing that had been stuck in his throat for twenty years, making it hard for him to let go, turned out to be a ridiculous misunderstanding. Thinking about this, Shen Yang's eyebrows furrowed, and he felt an absurd sense of despair. Was it fate playing tricks on him? Slowly closing his eyes, Shen Yang felt like burying his face in his hands and crying.

  "I'm sorry, Yangyang, it's all my fault. Let Wang Sheng go, everything is my mistake." Just then, Ye Wen came to the back of Shen Yang's brow, sobbing and pleading.

  He didn't want to care, but seeing Ye Wen's tear-stained face in front of him, his heart felt another pang of sorrow. It had been twenty years since they last saw each other, and he thought he should be able to face her calmly, but when he saw the face that once made his heart flutter and also caused him unbearable pain, he was at a loss for words.

  "Please, Shen Yang! Please..." As she spoke, Ye Wen surprisingly dropped to her knees and knelt before Shen Yang.

  "Ah!" Shen Yang let out a heavy sigh, and with the long exhalation, the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for over a decade seemed to quietly dissipate. Shen Yang shook his head and dryly said: "Ye Wen, you get up first, okay?"

  "Lower your eyebrows, please, let her go, he's really Wang De Cai. We can't afford to offend him, please." Ye Wen was still kneeling on the ground, begging bitterly.

  Shen Yang's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Ye Wen, who was kneeling on the ground. He felt a pang of sympathy and was about to reach out to help her up. Just then, Wang Sheng quickly walked over to Ye Wen's side, grasped her arm, and helped her up. "Wenwen, don't be afraid of him," he said. "He doesn't dare to do anything to me even if I lend him some courage. He's just a small-time deputy director of the county committee office. What are you afraid of?" As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Shen Yang.

  "Stop, stop, Wang Sheng, please don't say anything else. You go first, you go first, okay?" Although Ye Wen repeatedly urged Wang Sheng to leave, her eyes were fixed on Shen Yang's eyebrows, afraid that Shen Yang would be provoked again by Wang Sheng.

  Shen Yang raised an eyebrow, really not wanting to see Wang Sheng again, and even more so couldn't bear the sight of them being affectionate in front of him. He simply walked out of the bedroom. As he looked up, he saw Luo Shuai sitting on the sofa, smiling at him with a grin, and was taken aback. "What are you laughing at?"

  Lu Shuai pulled Shen Yangmei to sit on the sofa, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Yangzi, this is what you said is a farce, I think this is just a noisy play, how did I not see that Ye Wen still likes this tune."

  Shen Yang's eyebrows furrowed and his eyes glared, punching Luo Shuai's chest. Luo Shuai still sneered: "I didn't expect that Wang Sheng, this fake kid, is quite capable, he actually hooked up with your wall corner. What about these two women's temper..."

  Seeing Shen Yang's face turn gloomy, Luo Shuai finally shut up and smiled awkwardly, saying: "Hey! Yangzi, don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry about, is it? After all, Wang Sheng is a woman, she's much better than the man who slept in Ye Wen's bed. No, I didn't mean that..." Luo Hua slapped his own mouth lightly.

  Just as the two were talking, Ye Wen seemed to have done a good job on Wang Sheng, and after pulling and dragging, he finally pushed Wang Sheng to the door. Even so, Wang Sheng still refused to give up, and shouted at Shen Yang with his eyebrows, "Shen Yang Mei, it's not that I'm afraid of you, but for Ye Wen's sake, I won't bother with you. If you dare to do anything excessive to Ye Wen, I will never let you go. Remember this..."

  Ye Wen worried that Wang Sheng would say something unpleasant again, so she stretched out her hand to cover his mouth and pushed him out of the door with force. With a "bang", she slammed the door shut and leaned against it with her back. It seemed like she didn't know how to face Shen Yang's eyebrows, and she burst into tears.

  Lu Shuai looked at Ye Wen, who was crying painfully, and then looked at Shen Yang, who was sitting next to him with his head down, smoking silently. For a moment, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, not knowing what to say or do, feeling a bit superfluous.

  He reached out and touched Shen Yangmei's shoulder, and Luo Shuai said in a low voice: "Yangzi, go and persuade her, a big man should have a broad mind. After all, you've had so many years of feelings together, shouldn't you give her the opportunity to correct her mistakes?"

  Shen Yang raised an eyebrow and turned away, ignoring him. Luo Shuai frowned, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, stood up, walked to Ye Wen's side, patted her shoulder, and said: "Ye Wen, how can I say you're good if you act like this? Can crying solve problems? Hurry up and apologize to Yangzi, and don't have anything to do with Wang Sheng from now on. That kid is not a good person, always thinking of harming innocent women, you don't know how many people in the city hate him?"

  After listening to Luo Shuai's words, Ye Wen cried even more sorrowfully. Luo Shuai was so angry that he stamped his foot, "Fine, it's hard for an honest official to meddle in family affairs. I won't say anything more about the things between you two, you two should resolve this matter yourselves." After finishing speaking, Luo Shuai gently pushed Ye Wen away and opened the door to walk out. As soon as he closed the door behind him, Luo Shuai let out a long sigh of relief, wiped his forehead, and thought to himself that he had finally escaped, that room was really not a place for humans to stay.

  With no outsiders around, Ye Wen finally stopped sobbing and said with her head down: "Yangzi, I'm sorry, I was wrong to you. Forgive me this time. It really was the first time between us, it really was the first time. I really didn't know she was that kind of person, I always thought of her as a good sister, I originally really didn't think...".

  Ye Wen's plea left Shen Yangbrow at a loss for words. To forgive her, he felt reluctant, no matter how you put it, in his past life, because of her, he had been carrying the humiliation for twenty years, and this pain that had been suppressed in his heart was not so easily eradicated. Not to forgive her, perhaps his past self would not have forgiven her either, after all, in this era, two women getting together was a scandalous thing that could never be accepted by others. However, Shen Yangbrow, who had been influenced by new things for over a decade, did not have any prejudice against lesbians, except for feeling slightly uncomfortable psychologically, he did not have other feelings such as disgust or hatred.

  "Yue Wen, I think we need to take a break from each other for now. Let's not see each other for a while. When we've both calmed down, we can talk things through properly." Shen Yang said slowly and deliberately, "I hope you can understand my feelings. I don't want to hurt you, but I also don't know how to face you right now. Give me some time to think this over carefully."

  Ye Wen nodded continuously, choking with sobs: "I know, I know, Yangzi, we really only met for the first time. Originally, I just thought of her as a good friend. She told me that her father was the county party secretary of Jiaoliang County. I originally wanted to be good friends with her, just hoping to help you out. I didn't think she was this kind of person...I really didn't expect..."

  After hearing Ye Wen's words, Shen Yangmei's heart was truly filled with emotions. She had not expected that Ye Wen and Wang Sheng's friendship had such a reason behind it. Originally a good thing, due to misunderstandings and miscommunications, such a big misunderstanding occurred. If she hadn't been reborn once, this matter would probably never have been cleared up. Was it really the heavens playing tricks on people? Being reborn once, Shen Yangmei, who had always believed in atheism, had some doubts about her own thoughts.

  "Actually, Wang Sheng had already agreed to help me get you transferred back to the city. I heard her make a phone call to Wang De Cai and another person whose name is ***, telling Zhang Yang to inform you that you need to cooperate with her work, but not allowing me to tell you about this matter, saying she wanted to give you a surprise!"

  What, Ye Wen's words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, ringing in Shen Yang's ears. Wang Sheng had called Zhang Yang, and Wang Sheng was in contact with **. Wang Sheng and Zhang Yang had discussed my situation. All the chaotic clues seemed to be slowly connecting because of Ye Wen's words, and the reason for being framed was slowly surfacing.
