Chapter 595 - No Point Dwelling With the Past (1)

The inauguration banquet and the auction held by Xiao Xing Diamond Co. ended spectacularly. As one of the most influential families in Shenzhen, it was only natural that the Yun family was invited to the said event. Yun Zhen, as well as Su Jingyi, came to represent the Yun family and the Yun Group.

Obviously, the two also witnessed the colorful drama that occurred during the event. How would they miss it when everyone couldn't stop talking about it? Liu Ruoyan and Xing Yiyue had surely made the event more entertaining with their pitiful performance tonight.

Su Jingyi wasn't shocked by the sudden announcement of Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu 's marriage as she already had a gist of the nature of the relationship between the two, but Yun Zhen was totally caught off guard by it and hadn't spoken a word since then.

Yun Zhen had never felt more pathetic in his life until tonight. As he watched another man hold Tang Moyu's hand, standing next to her, it's no wonder that the empress had turned down every advance he made towards her. It made sense to him now, but he was also curious how the devil managed to win her heart.

"Stop sulking. This is so unlike you, Yun Zhen." He heard Su Jingyi say next to him. The car ride towards her apartment was filled with silence, and she didn't like seeing him like this at all.

Wasn't he the President Yun who everyone was praising to the heavens for pushing Yun Group to reach its pinnacle since he took over the company? Losing Tang Moyu's favor to Feng Tianyi didn't mean his value had lowered because. Perhaps he only needed to make peace with himself, accepting that he and the empress could never be.

Yun Zhen only hummed and stared down at his drink, lost in his own thoughts. Perhaps, Tang Moyu was right. He was a fool to believe in the promise of a little girl. He should have expected that she would eventually forget about it and wouldn't take it seriously, even if Tang Moyu did remember.

Thinking about it, maybe it was because the young empress he met back then was the reason why he managed to muster the courage to pursue his own goals and achieved whatever he had today. It was his own hard work and persistence that made him successful, and not because of Tang Moyu.

Su Jingyi tried her best not to roll her eyes at the pathetic situation they were in. She wasn't sure who was more pathetic. He, who was vying after the cold empress, or her, who couldn't let go of her unrequited love for him.

What a pair they make. She chuckled inwardly as she stared outside, watching as the rain continued to pour. Su Jingyi then realized that she'd been staying here in Shenzhen for almost a decade now, but she still felt like it wasn't home.

Has it really been more than ten years since she followed Yun Zhen here and helped him ascend to the top position in Yun Group? The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she had missed several opportunities and experiences just because she had chosen to remain by his side.

A person who couldn't see her past his business partner… Su Jingyi lowered her eyes to hide the pain that flashed through it. She couldn't put the blame on him since she was the one who caught feelings along the way and he was oblivious about it all this time.

It wasn't like she didn't have enough courage to confess, but Su Jingyi felt that the friendship they had at the moment was more important than what she felt for him. She didn't want to jeopardize their relationship by ruining it with her confession.

What's more, Yun Zhen had been vocal about how he liked the empress, so why would she make things complicated between the two of them?

"It's okay. I know better now." Yun Zhen said with a bitter smile on his face. How naive he was. How could he miss the connection between Tang Moyu and Feng Tianyi? Indeed, he had been really foolish.

There's no point in dwelling with the past. She could only move forward. Hadn't she done her best already? So what's the point of her staying by his side much longer? She had already lost a part of herself with the delusion that she could stay next to him, not wanting anything in return.

"Well, that took you long enough. At least you know what to do now." Su Jingyi replied with a scoff, but she also understood that she also needed to do the same. She had already wasted enough years to know that she had no reason to continue enduring any longer.

Ah, how cruel. Anyway, she brought this on herself, so she couldn't blame anyone else. It's time for her to put an end to it. She couldn't stop the helplessness that devoured her from the inside.

Once the car reached its destination, Su Jingyi immediately stepped out of the car and didn't bother to bid goodbye to Yun Zhen. It had always been like this. She was one of those people who can stare straight right into his eyes and defy him without facing any consequences.

She closed the door behind her, not giving Yun Zhen a chance to say a word to her. She wasn't brave enough to bid goodbye and didn't want to see his reaction on her departure.

It wasn't like she disrespected the man, but Yun Zhen and the rest knew that Su Jingyi was his equal in every aspect, except for her social status. She had stood alongside Yun Zhen, focusing so much on him, that she had already forgotten to look after herself.

This time… She would be selfish. Su Jingyi would let go now and she hoped that Yun Zhen would be fine without her. Not that he couldn't be without her. Yun Zhen would be fine without her around, or so she thought…
