Chapter 149 - 145: Dirtied Palm
Li Lian could feel her hand itch to slap the man sitting casually in front of her now. She glanced around the open cafe and although it wasn’t a private place due to her bodyguard’s work, there was no single person who sat on the place other than them and the people working in the counter.
Now that there is not any person watching me a slap or two now would not matter much, Li Lian thought to glare at the man when He Chang Min passed a white envelope to the table.
"This is the invitation," a sigh escaped as he placed the envelop on the desk. "I know you don’t want to go back to Xie Family but this is grandmother’s birthday." he reminded.
"What are you thinking?" The frown on Li Lian was not enough to show how repulsive she was by his sudden act of kindness. "Do you think I will forgive you for what you have done to me?"
"I don’t expect you to forgive me." He Chang Min brown dull eyes looked back at her black eyes. The fist he held above the desk tightened to the point it turned white. "It is fine to hate me but find in yourself not to hate others and walk in this path of revenge,"
Li Lian could hear something in the back of her head like a thread she held previously snapped. In a flash the sound of flesh hitting filled the room for everyone even the bodyguard between her winced at the sound as though they were the one who was slapped.
"Drop your innocent mask He Chang Min! What do you want!" She demanded, the anger she had burst out. She had enough of him every time He Chang Min always place himself in the spot where he was blameless and innocent. She felt foolish for once thinking he was a gentle man whose kind heart reached for everyone. He was not a kind person he was only using his kindness to turn a blind eye toward the things happening to the people around him.
Blood dripped down from the scratch on He Chang Min’s cheeks. Li Lian didn’t hold back her power to slap him and slap him enough for the inside of his cheeks to be bleeding now. Placing his finger over to his cheeks, he pulled his hand to see the red liquid. Pain stung on his cheek but he knew this can not be compare to the pain Li Lian felt. That two years when she disappeared and that day when everything was lost in front of her he had partake on ruining her heart. And perhaps he had harmed her even long before they broke their engagement.
