Chapter 456 What's lost is useless.
Xu Fangli's voice suddenly turned cold, "When I was deceived by Song Yuchen, framed by you, and manipulated by your combined efforts, I wondered what you were thinking back then? Did you feel good?"
Yu Wei tightened her grip on the fork: "Those things are in the past, and besides, you already have President Han..."
"Is it over?"
Xu Fangli leaned forward. "Who said it's all in the past? You? Or Song Yuchen? Yu Wei, only my words truly define the past. As for you, none of your words count!"
She sneered, "You want me to drop the charges? Fine, go and publicly apologize online, explain everything you've done over the years, how you framed me, how you stole someone else's boyfriend, and I might consider it."
Yu Wei's expression instantly twisted, her mask shattered completely: "Xu Fangli! I've already told you, you already have President Han, why are you still clinging to the past like this!"
Fang Li stared at her for a long time, then suddenly sneered: "Ask me? If you guys didn't come out and cause trouble every now and then to disgust me, do you think I have nothing better to do?!"
"But what do you want us to do? I took Achen from you, but that just proves that Achen isn't yours. You can't target us like this forever just because we're in love!"
Yu Wei's face was tense, and she said meaningfully, "Unless... you haven't actually let go of A-Chen at all."
"......"
The atmosphere inside the coffee shop was tense.
No one noticed that a figure had been standing on the street outside the coffee shop for a long time.
When Yu Wei received a call from Yu Minghai, asking her to find a way to contact Xu Fangli to see if they could resolve the matter privately, Song Yuchen was following behind.
He watched her go to the Xingli building to ambush Xu Fangli, and then followed them to the coffee shop. He saw the two of them sit down at the entrance and then stand not far away, watching quietly.
Song Yuchen came along for two reasons. First, he wanted to see what Fang Li's attitude was towards this matter. After all, he starred in this movie, and it was produced by Yaoxing. He couldn't let something go wrong.
Furthermore, he wanted to see what they would say.
At first, Song Yuchen never expected that he would hear these words.
Song Yuchen stood behind a sycamore tree outside the coffee shop, his fingers digging deep into the rough bark.
Across the empty road, he could clearly see Xu Fangli's profile. The face that had once given him a shy smile now wore a mocking expression, and her red lips parted to utter the most hurtful words.
"Do you think everyone is like you, enjoying picking up trash?"
Xu Fangli's voice drifted over, carrying a contempt he had never heard before, "To me now, he's not even worth a pebble on the roadside. Yu Wei, what's lost to me is useless, not worth even thinking about."
Tree bark fragments pierced his fingernails, but Song Yuchen felt no pain.
He stared intently at Xu Fangli and Yu Wei sitting opposite her. He hadn't expected that Yu Wei would actually come to plead with Xu Fangli.
Are you still using him as a bargaining chip?
"Are you lying to me? If you don't care, why won't you let us go?"
Yu Wei's voice was deep and hoarse, full of accusation and probing: "I don't believe I've offended you except for matters related to A-Chen. If it wasn't because of him, who else could it be because of!"
Fang Li's expression remained unchanged, not because she was offended, but simply because she was speechless.
There's a sense of helplessness, like talking to a brick wall.
Song Yucheng saw her eyes slightly curved upwards, and her lips forming a sweet arc—a genuine smile he had never received before.
"What do you think Song Yuchen has to offer compared to Han Xi?"
Xu Fangli's voice reached his ears clearly, "With Han Xi by my side, why would I need to worry about him? I'm not blind."
These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing Song Yuchen in the chest.
He staggered back a step, his ears ringing.
How could she?
How can you compare him to another man in such a tone?
What about Xu Fangli, who chased after him for four whole years, whose emotions fluctuated even more than his, whether he was happy or sad?!
Song Yuchen lowered his eyes, as if he wanted to sink into an endless gloom.
He didn't know if he hadn't truly let go or was simply unwilling to accept it; all he knew was that hearing Xu Fangli's words made his heart feel like it was about to explode, filled with suffocating anger!
Memories slowly flashed back to my university days.
Some say that Xu Fangli was her follower, and she wanted to see if he could summon her with a single word. He lied to her, saying he was sick.
Sure enough, around 10 p.m., just as the lights were about to go out, Xu Fangli came running over in her pajamas.
She was still holding the medicine she had bought from the school doctor.
He was standing by the window upstairs at the time, and his roommates were laughing and gossiping around him.
It must be said that Song Yuchen's vanity was greatly satisfied at that time.
Look, the girl that all the boys in the school are after is so desperate for him.
She was so good to him back then, and so easy to control.
A single text message is enough to make her obediently appear at the location he designates, and a single glance is enough to make her tremble with unease.
Song Yucheng always believed that Xu Fangli would never escape his grasp.
But now...
"What are you doing! Can't you watch where you're going!" A fierce voice rang in my ears.
Song Yuchen then realized that he had somehow backed onto the sidewalk and almost bumped into someone.
He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched until they turned white, and forced a smile: "Sorry."
His voice was so hoarse it didn't sound like his own.
The man glared at him angrily and walked away.
Song Yuchen looked at the coffee shop again.
Fang Li tucked the hair behind her ear, revealing a small red mark on her neck, which stood out starkly against her fair skin.
A surge of intense jealousy welled up in Song Yucheng's stomach.
He's not stupid; as an adult, he knows what that is.
That's a hickey.
It's obvious who left it there.
During college, in order to keep Fang Li hanging on, Song Yuchen always kept her at arm's length, at most giving her a light hug occasionally, never letting her feel his affection.
The feeling of making Xu Fangli cautious and on edge gave him satisfaction.
After graduating from university, the two entered the workforce. He knew Xu Fangli's abilities and how tempting this industry was. In order to keep her by his side, he took the initiative to confirm their relationship.
At that time, it was just a brief, fleeting kiss.
He had fantasized countless times about leaving his mark on Xu Fangli and wanting to possess her completely, but the advice given by senior figures in the industry always came to warn him when he was about to lose control.
Dating is fine, and you can do whatever you want, but it's best not to date someone in the industry. Try to find someone inconspicuous and easy to manipulate.
Song Yuchen felt that Fang Li was easy to control, and also knew that she was not an insignificant person.
As long as she stays in the industry, she will become famous sooner or later.
Because of this, he pretended not to see Yu Wei's subtle and overt actions later on.
If someone helps him keep Xu Fangli in check, his worries won't come true.
"Stop judging others with your narrow-minded thoughts. The grudge between Yu Wei, Yaoxing and me is far from over. This time, I'm going to watch Yaoxing become infamous throughout the industry. As for the Yu family... well, I can't help it. It's all your fault. Because of you, I don't have a good impression of the Yu family."
