Chapter 75: The Breakup Between Su Tao And Ye Liang
Su Tao's appearance was perfectly timed.
At this moment, Ye Liang, already infuriated by Chi Xiaocheng, reached out to snatch the small knife from her abdomen.
As a result, from an outsider's perspective, Su Tao arrived just in time to see Ye Liang stab Chi Xiaocheng with the knife.
The petite loli clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain.
But the reality.
At least, the "reality" in Su Tao's eyes, was exactly this.
Ye Liang frantically looked at Su Tao, quickly sidestepping and retreating a step. "Su Tao, listen to me, it's not what you saw!"
Chi Xiaocheng, facing Ye Liang, curved her lips into a smile.
But when she turned to look at Su Tao, the smile on her face had transformed into one of misery.
She stumbled, falling to the ground: "Tao... Tao Tao..."
Even though a myriad of emotions churned within her, that vivid red orange juice still sent pangs of heartache through her.
Su Tao rushed to Chi Xiaocheng's side and helped her up.
A flicker of hesitation crossed her face, but it solidified into determination when she looked at Ye Liang. "Ye Liang, do you hate Xiaocheng so much that you would even lay hands on her!"
The words left her mouth, but her heart ached faintly.
Su Tao herself didn't realize that the hand she used to support Chi Xiaocheng was trembling slightly.
The words she spoke lacked the fury of genuine anger.
If one were to judge based on Chi Xiaocheng's "intermediate acting skills," Su Tao probably had no acting ability at all.
Ye Liang, who was already angry, lost his composure the moment he saw Su Tao.
He didn't realize at all that even the words she spoke were part of an act.
Ye Liang urgently said, "Su Tao, listen to me, I didn't do anything at all, this is all Chi Xiaocheng's self-orchestrated drama!"
"Is that so?" Su Tao stared blankly at Ye Liang. "Didn't you say you wanted Xiaocheng to disappear forever from here? The snow has already turned red, how do you explain that?"
"Are you trying to say Xiaocheng did this to herself?!"
By the end, Su Tao even roared at the top of her lungs, using it to mask her own fear.
The current situation was the undeniable truth.
Ye Liang couldn't possibly clear his name.
Just at this moment, Chi Xiaocheng, nestled in Su Tao's arms, forced a strained smile.
"Tao Tao, it hurts a little."
"But don't worry, I'm used to it now."
"I'm very strong, I didn't cry~"
The strained smile turned miserable, and then she slowly closed her eyes, weakly fainting in Su Tao's arms.
This was clearly an act.
Whether in front of Su Tao or Ye Liang.
But even knowing it was an act, hearing such chilling words slowly spoken still sent shivers down one's spine.
Aside from a trace of heartache, fear and dread filled Su Tao's heart.
She looked up at Ye Liang, her lips trembling slightly. "Ye Liang, you still like me, right?"
Ye Liang stared at Su Tao, eyes wide. "Su Tao, what do you mean?"
Su Tao's eyelashes fluttered lightly. She reached out and caressed Chi Xiaocheng's cheek. "What I mean is, don't contact me anymore from now on."
The moment these words were spoken, Ye Liang suddenly snapped, and the anger that had somewhat subsided surged up again. "Heh heh, ha ha ha ha ha!"
"Su Tao, for that wretched woman Chi Xiaocheng, you're actually going to cut ties with me?!"
The words "wretched woman" seemed to provoke Su Tao; tears welled up from the corners of her eyes. She knelt on the ground, looking resolutely at Ye Liang. "Yes, for Xiaocheng, I will cut ties with you!"
"Say that again!"
Ye Liang took a step forward, his gaze fierce and imposing as he stared at Su Tao, his red eyes like a man-eating tiger. "Su Tao, search your heart, haven't I treated you well? From the very first day we met, I've treated you with all my heart. I can give you anything you want, and people in our circle even call me your simp!"
"As a CEO worth over a hundred million, what kind of woman couldn't I find?"
"For you, I broke off the arranged marriage with my family in the capital, almost falling out with my own kin!"
"For you, I repeatedly hosted banquets, bringing you to experience everything ordinary people can't. Even then, Chi Xiaocheng always caused trouble, and to accommodate you, I was willing to let my reputation be ruined rather than lay a hand on her!"
"I've respected all your choices, I've barely ever forced you, have I? Haven't my feelings been obvious enough?!"
Ye Liang laughed uproariously again. "Months have passed, you've enjoyed everything, and now you tell me that this person who has been targeting you and me for so long is the most important to you."
"What about me then!"
"Do I really have no place in your heart at all?!"
"I don't believe you can't see she's acting! Chi Xiaocheng is a yandere, do you know she'll eventually hurt you!!!"
The words were practically roared out, making Ye Liang's chest heave violently.
He had suppressed these words in his heart for a long time.
Yet, to spare Su Tao's feelings, he had endured it again and again.
But why?
Why should Chi Xiaocheng get everything?
Why is it that after months of wrongdoing, she can simply make a few corrections and walk back to Su Tao's side, while the past few months of my efforts, Ye Liang, aren't enough?!
He had never invested more than a week in anyone!
He wanted to see an expression of guilt and remorse on Su Tao's face, but when he looked down, the girl kneeling on the ground was shedding bitter tears.
"Ye Liang, you keep saying you've done so much for me, but how can you be so sure I would even like it?"
Su Tao answered Ye Liang's questions one by one.
"Your decision to sever ties with your family for me, that was your choice."
"You ruined your reputation by hosting banquets for me, but did you even know if I wanted to attend them?"
"You wanted to give me everything, to make me part of your elite circle, but did you even know that all I longed for was a simple, warm, ordinary life?"
Su Tao reached out and wiped away a tear, bravely stopping her tears. "After several months, I'm very grateful for your efforts, but do you remember what I told you at the very beginning?"
"I don't need any of your efforts, nor do I like your money or your lifestyle. If it's just like being friends, then there could be a place for you by my side."
"But did you ever truly treat me as a friend, and did you remember what I told you in the first place?"
Ye Liang: "I like you, why would I still treat you as a friend!"
Su Tao gave a faint smile. "Ye Liang, you've always been so condescending, believing that everything you say is right. You think that as long as you like someone, everything should conform to your wishes, yet you never bother to understand what the person you like actually likes."
Su Tao exhaled softly, her voice trembling. "You hate Xiaocheng because of me, right? From today onwards, we have no connection whatsoever. And don't hurt Xiaocheng because of me anymore."
These words seemed to cost her immense effort.
She almost collapsed, limp, onto the snow.
But feeling the warmth of the petite body in her arms, she forced herself to remain upright.
This was... the choice!
The only choice.
Did the truthfulness of the words matter?
Only this way could Xiaocheng be safe, and only this way would she not harm herself.
And only then would there be a chance... to treat her yandere condition.
Su Tao looked up again, seeing Ye Liang's defeated expression, and spoke softly, "Ye Liang, please leave."
"Leave?"
Ye Liang's expression shifted from defeat to ferocity.
Facing Su Tao, he no longer held the composure of a young master CEO, but roared like a wild beast. "You were clearly forced by Chi Xiaocheng too, why are you making me leave!"
Su Tao, who had originally been able to suppress her emotions, completely broke down at this moment.
