Wen Li saw clearly that the moment An Wen fell, Huo Yuanchen's eyes were filled with heartache.
She curled the corners of her lips sarcastically, stood aside and watched coldly.
Huo Yuanchen reached out to help An Wen up.
An Wen held Huo Yuanchen's hand and cried bitterly. She was upset as she cried, "Brother Yuanchen, please don't worry about me. I have brought this upon myself. It's all my fault that Sister Wen Li is like this. If I hadn't accidentally fallen yesterday, Teacher Zhang wouldn't have left Sister Wen Li alone in the vegetable cellar to send me off, and Sister Wen Li wouldn't have been locked up in there."
She choked with sobs and continued to blame herself, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'm useless and can't help you at all. I'm causing you trouble and causing Sister Wen Li to be locked up. You can scold me or just beat me up. As long as Sister Wen Li can calm down, you can do whatever you want to me. I promise I have no regrets."
She collapsed on the ground, her face covered with tears, her eyes and nose were red, and she looked so pitiful.
Not to mention Huo Yuanchen, even Teacher Zhang who came with her couldn't help but walk around to Wen Li, quietly pulled Wen Li's sleeve, and whispered , "I know you were miserable yesterday, and I don't like her either, but what happened yesterday really has nothing to do with her. She fell and fractured her leg, and it hurt so much that she couldn't walk. I can testify to this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent her back."
Wen Li lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Huo Yuanchen pulled An Wen up, took out a tissue and gave it to her, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't think too much. Yesterday was just an accident. No one blames you. Don't blame yourself too much. This is not your fault."
Wen Li looked at him in silence for a long time.
Until he turned his head and their eyes met in the air, she immediately looked away and refused to look at him again.
His heart was biased. She analyzed so much to him over and over again, but he didn't believe her. When An Wen cried and made a fuss, he forgave her.
Why should he forgive?
He was not the one who was trapped in the vegetable cellar, helpless and terrified, so what right did he have to forgive An Wen on her behalf?
Wen Li couldn't help but said, "If it wasn't you, then who else could it be? Who has such a deep hatred for me that he wants to lock me up in the vegetable cellar without seeing the sun?"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Wen's crying, which had gradually stopped, burst into tears again like a flood.
Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything for a long time, but just silently handed An Wen a tissue.
Wen Li moved her lips and was about to say something else. Huo Yuanchen interrupted her and said, "Wen Li, An Wen doesn't know that you are afraid of the dark. Since she doesn't know, there is no need for her to harm you in this way."
Teacher Zhang also said, "Yes, we didn't know that you were afraid of the dark. Maybe it was just a coincidence, and you misunderstood An Wen."
Wen Li swallowed the words she couldn't say. She pursed her lips tightly, feeling extremely upset.
No one believed her. Even if she was a victim, she looked fine on the surface, far less pitiful than An Wen, whose cheeks were swollen and she was crying.
Because of this, everyone here leaned towards An Wen. They only believed what they saw with their own eyes. What was the point of her saying more? It would only make others think that she was making trouble and bullying others.
At this moment, she hated Huo Yuanchen, much more than she hated An Wen. She felt that he was blind and blind in heart. It was obvious that he was blinded by tears and refused to believe her.
In this world, whoever cries the most is more right?
Wen Li clenched her fists tightly. She stared at An Wen, who was still crying intermittently, without blinking, and did not miss the smug look that flashed across An Wen's eyes.
She closed her eyes, turned and walked away.
Huo Yuanchen asked her, "Wen Li, where are you going?"
She didn't answer him, but walked forward quickly, faster and faster, until she was almost jogging, as if she was afraid of being caught up by someone.
She went to her mother-in-law's house to pick up her luggage. She was originally scheduled to leave today, and her luggage was packed yesterday, so she could leave soon.
Just before she was about to leave, her mother-in-law hurried back from outside, asked her to wait a moment, then went to the kitchen to get a bag of eggs and insisted on giving them to her.
"I heard that you were sick yesterday. Eating some eggs will help you get better quickly," said my mother-in-law.
Older people don’t know what mental illness is. They just heard that Wen Li went to the hospital last night, and they stubbornly think that she should eat more nutritious food to recover her health sooner.
Wen Li's eyes suddenly turned red. She hugged her mother-in-law tightly, holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving. You must take good care of yourself and live a long life. If I have time in the future, I will come to see you again."
My mother-in-law couldn't bear to let her go. It was too lonely for the old lady to live alone. The house was so lively this month, and it was hard for her to adapt to the sudden silence.
But all good things must come to an end, and in the end Wen Li left, looking back every few steps.
She went to the village chief's house and gave him the bag of eggs from her mother-in-law, asking him to return it to her later. The old lady needed these nutrients more than she did.
While giving the eggs, Wen Li was thinking that her mother-in-law had only been with her for a short month, but she was much better than Huo Yuanchen. Some people were really born cold-blooded, and you couldn't expect anything from them.
When she went to get her car, Huo Yuanchen was waiting for her next to her car. Seeing that she was having difficulty carrying her luggage, he came over to help her.
Wen Li turned aside and avoided him. She didn't speak to him and walked forward with her luggage.
Huo Yuanchen followed and sighed beside her, "Why are you doing this? You're just tiring yourself out by being angry with me."
Wen Li opened the trunk and put the box in with both hands. He said, "How dare I be angry with you, Professor Huo. I am a sinner. I framed your good sister and tainted a pure and flawless little white flower with my vicious and dirty mind. I deserve to die. I am guilty."
Huo Yuanchen was silent for a while, then said calmly, "It's quite boring when you say that."
It was unknown which word in this sentence ignited Wen Li's temper. She slammed the trunk lid hard, making a loud "bang".
She turned her head, crossed her arms, looked at him coldly, and said, "I'm quite boring. I just can't stand your good sister. I think she is an eyesore in every way. I just want to target her and think the worst of her."
Huo Yuanchen stared at her for a long time, then looked away and said, "It's not your fault. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will think the same as you."
Wen Li was so angry that he almost laughed.
It seemed that he was thinking about her when he said this, but in fact, he was blaming her, saying that she had misunderstood An Wen by judging others by her own mean standards.
He still believes in An Wen as always.
