Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist's Uncle

Chapter 1005 - A Chance to Turn Back

Chapter 1005: A Chance to Turn Back

“He’s just a fake person.” Song Yiyan’s hands unconsciously tangled together, and her heart started to ache slightly. Her lips curled up bitterly as she smiled mockingly. “Sheng Sheng, he’s a person in my dream. You can’t expect me to save myself for a person in my dream and wait for him forever!”

She wasn’t stupid either. She could still distinguish between dreams and reality clearly. Ji Xing was just someone in her dreams. Besides, she had not dreamed of him again in a long, long time.

The night before the engagement, she had prayed in her heart that he would appear again. As long as he told her not to get engaged, she might not have gotten engaged. She would have hung in there. However, he did not. He wasn’t around anymore. He wouldn’t appear anymore.

“What if he’s not? What if he’s not the illusory figure in your dream but a tangible person who will truly appear?” Ling Sheng looked at her seriously. “Are you willing to rebel against your fate for him? Do you love him?”

“I don’t know.” After saying that, Song Yiyan’s tears started falling again. She held Ling Sheng’s hand as her body started trembling uncontrollably.

“Song Yiyan.” Ling Sheng was beginning to get annoyed. She grabbed her shoulders and locked onto her eyes. “Look into my eyes and tell me that you’re living for yourself, not for others. Think about it carefully. If you follow their demands and get married and have children, will you regret it in the future? Is the life they arrange for you the kind that you want?”

She had once told her that she had to wake her up as soon as possible, but she did not look like she was going to awaken at all.

“Sheng Sheng, I don’t know either. I don’t dare. I’m afraid of my dad and grandpa. They said that since I’m a member of the Song Family, I should think about the Song Family and its future.”

“I’m not the only one who has sacrificed for the Song Family’s future either. My grandparents, my parents, and my uncles aren’t together with their spouses because they love each other either. Aren’t they also doing pretty well now?” After saying that, Song Yiyan looked at her enviously. “Not everyone is like you. Your grandparents dote on you. Although your father will snap at you, he still won’t stop you from doing what you want. No matter what you do, your mother will support you unconditionally. You still have the Third Master who dotes on you and loves you. I don’t have that. I don’t have anything.”

Even Ji Xing didn’t want her now. He must be disgusted that she was too weak and didn’t like someone like her. That was probably why he had left!

“This is not an excuse for you to compromise or escape.” Ling Sheng’s eyes turned somber as she sighed. Then, she added, “Your fate belongs to you. I can’t decide it for you, and they have no right to decide your life too.”

“Then what should I do? I’m already engaged.” Song Yiyan covered her face and started crying. Her shoulders shook violently. “What should I do? Exactly what should I do?”

Ling Sheng knew that she could not agitate her at this point in time anymore. She had lived in that kind of environment since she was young, and it had already affected her judgment and autonomy imperceptibly. She hugged her gently. “You guys aren’t married yet. There’s still a chance to turn back. Think carefully. Exactly what do you want? Don’t regret it only after you’re married.”

Song Yiyan cried for a long, long time before she finally stopped. She wiped away her tears and looked at Ling Sheng. “I’ll use this time to think about it properly. Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?” Ling Sheng thought, I still have to thank you. When you awaken, there will be a lot of things I need to ask you to do. She wiped her tears for her. “Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore. Where are you going later?”

Song Yiyan wanted to go to the hospital to visit Screenwriter Liu. After all, Dongfang Fan had assaulted him because of her and even sent him to the hospital.

On Ling Sheng’s side, she had already reached the top of the hottest search topics due to the incident of her beating someone up. After some scheming people started to hype things up, no one cared about the truth. Even if she clarified it, no one would watch. Who didn’t know how to do damage control in a public relations crisis? Assault was assault. They wouldn’t stop until they had ruined her reputation. They said that she was throwing her weight around and was out of control. They said that her parents were impressive as the Best Actor and Best Actress, and that she was a useless second-generation heir who dragged her parents down.

Nangong Lengyu switched off her phone and looked at her daughter. “I’ll go find Dongfang Meng and get her to help clarify.”

Her daughter was being wronged because she had intervened when she saw an injustice yet she was still being scolded by people. She could not take this lying down.

“Mom.” Ling Sheng stopped her. “The trending topic has already been removed. Everything will be fine tomorrow.”

“How can it be fine? Are you a newbie who has just entered the entertainment circle? Don’t you know how great the impact will be once this kind of thing happens? In the future, every time they attack you, they will dig up old news and bring this matter up again and again.” Nangong Lengyu’s face turned pale from fury. “Dongfang Meng still has to do me this favor.”

“Mom.” Ling Sheng had just shouted when she saw that the group chat became lively.

Yu Bei sent a Weibo link: Sheng Sheng, look quickly. What did you tell that little rascal from the Dongfang Family?! Why is he so obedient? He uploaded a post to speak up for you.

Jiang Yi: Sheng Sheng, you’re so badass! I’ll only bow down to you. Say, that little tyrant of the Dongfang Family is such a terror, yet you still dare to beat him?!

Shi Lingyu: I’ve seen him before. In the past, he had an ex-girlfriend who was in the same filming crew as me. As you guys know too, when we film, sometimes we film for half a year. The woman couldn’t stand the loneliness and cheated on him. The man and woman were both beaten half to death by him. The woman has already left the entertainment circle while the man won’t be able to have any sexual happiness in the future.

Su Yi: How do you people know so much?

Cheng Ye: Exactly. You guys know a lot.

Ji Fanchen: You know a lot too.

Shi Lingyu: Hey, the two people above, what are you doing? Are you talking in riddles? Speak up. What does Little Ye know?

Cheng Ye: Don’t say anything. I don’t know anything.

Ji Fanchen: Yes, he said he doesn’t know anything.

Ling Sheng: Wuwuwuwu, none of you love me anymore. You people upstairs are so biased.

When Nangong Lengyu saw her daughter grinning as she texted, she knew that they had to be messages from their Eight Immortals group chat. The Weibo link had also been sent over from there.

As the victim and the person involved, Dongfang Fan helped clarify the situation. It was written quite simply. As friends, they were playing around. His skills weren’t as good, and he had lost fair and square. He advised some people who harbored evil intentions to behave themselves and not spout nonsense.

The victim had already said that it was nothing. As for the bystanders… Go ahead! Criticize her again!

What kind of person was the young master of the Dongfang Family? He was a tyrant in the capital and the only male heir of the Dongfang Family. He was treated lovingly like a treasure by the elders in the family, who definitely wouldn’t allow him to suffer even the slightest grievance. It was impossible for him to post a statement to resolve the issue just because someone had threatened him. It also eliminated the possibility that he had been forced to post a statement.
