“Thank you Seunggie, for staying at your boyfriend’s place for these few days, and lending your apartment to me and Zhan Zhan.
I’m the luckiest to have you as my friend, I promise to return your favor.”, Yibo smiled and hugged his best friend, after they reached in front of her boyfriend’s block.
“You know Bo Bo that I love you as much as I love my brother and you can always count on my help.
And I’m really, really sorry for the awful way I blew up things when Shen Yue has called.”
“No Seung, don’t apologize, you intended nothing else but to save time.
After all it was my idea, you only told her what I was going to tell her later.”
“Explain to me now your whole plan, as to know what to say, in case someone from your family would call me again.
Luckily there are a few clothes in my closet that my boyfriend has left, so you can tell Xiao Zhan that they are your clothes.
Oh, now that I think about it, I hope you didn’t lie to your boyfriend that your apartment mate is a boy, because he will find all over the place my womanly stuff.”
“No, Seunggie, I lied to him only when I was forced to.
Actually, I didn’t mention nor the name, nor the gender of the person with whom I share my living.
I hope he will have no problem with you being my roommate, because I remember that when he asked me who Seungyoun is to me, I noticed a slight tinge of jealousy in his voice, even though we were not being anything yet at that time.
Or maybe I just like to fantasize that he could have been jealous because he was already liking me from the start.
Now let me tell you the plan.
First thing to do is to go pick Zhan from my home and bring him to your place.
I will leave him there and tell him that I go buying food or something like that.
Next I will call my family, apologize for not calling them sooner and tell them that my flight has just landed and I don’t want them to come for me to the airport, instead I want them to wait for me at my apartment.
I will tell them that I need their support in my grieving.
I will tell them that I need them all to wait for me at my place, meaning all my family members, including the newest member, Yue’s husband.
I intend to expose that miserable cheater in front of everyone, especially because my sister will need the whole family’s support when her heart will be ripped.
Oh, Seung, it will be so hard, I’m already feeling in my chest Yue’s pain.
But for her sake, I need to do this, the sooner the better.
Okay, Seunggie, I need to run, he waits for me, thank you once again, I will call you, as soon as possible, bye now!”
~ Yibo’s POV:
I used to hate that my parents kept for themselves two spare keys to my rented apartment, but now I’m glad.
Because, besides the key given to Zhan, they still have one.
As I had expected they were already on there, when I opened the living room door, before composing the needed mourning facial expression.
What I did not expect was that none of them welcomed me with a hug, not even with a comforting word.
Only lao lao mumbled a weak “Finally, Wang Yibo, at least you are alive and healthy!”, when I greeted her and bowed before her.
This is not good!
Not good at all!
Lao lao never calls me by my full name!
It must be because she was very worried and scared for my safety…
Oh, my beloved lao lao, the most I feel regretful for the pain I’m causing to you.
From all, you are the one who gave me everything, love, respect, trust, and how do I pay you back?
I pecked both of her cheeks, even though she didn’t kiss my forehead, like she always used to do:
“I’m sorry, lao lao, I missed you the most!
I’m so sorry, you know that I love you, don’t you?”
I became stiff, instantly, at the mocking voice speaking to me.
Why from all of them, it must be the motherfu*ker to speak to me?
“I’m sorry for your loss, but my poor broken hearted brother-in-law, why are you not wearing mourning clothes?”
You are the last from this room to whom I have to explain myself, in any way!
My dead boyfriend hated plain white clothes, he loved sunny and intense colors, and even though his favorite color was red, he told me that he started to love green even more than red, just because it’s my favorite. He also liked how I looked in a sunny orange. That’s why I will wear colorful clothes, especially green and orange, and not white, while mourning.
I am telling this to my family’s members, not to you, though.
Because…because…I can never consider you as my family!”, I spoke while trying my best to keep calm.
But the image of the supermarket scene, keep replaying at the back of my mind, was getting me gradually more and more furious.
“I hope you end living your whole life in misery, alone and in pain, you disgusting creature!
I hope you rot in hell, after dying, for what you have done to my kind hearted sister!
Why did you do it, is that nose sucker better than Yue?
And if the hoe is better, than why the fu*k did you marry my sister, you filthy cheater?”, I screamed, losing the last drop from my control and throwing a hard punch onto the aSshole’s jaw, after grabbing him up from the couch by his collar.
I kept punching him wherever my fists were landing.
I was so mad that nobody was able to stop me, not my mother’s screams of fear, not my father who was trying to pull me away from the man converted into my boxing sack, not lao lao’s worried appeals.
I only stopped when his mouth and my knuckles started to bleed.
I peeked at Yue, who didn’t interfere in our dispute at all.
She was not crying as I’ve been expecting, but instead, she was just sitting in the armchair, rigid like a statue.
When our eyes met, she spoke in an unexpectedly clear voice:
“Tell me brother, everything.
But please, I’m begging you, no lies this time!”
The asShole stood up from the floor, where he was lying flat onto his back, and intended to pull his wife into his embrace.
But Yue pushed him away and propped herself in front of me:
“Tell me!!”
“Babe, don’t listen to him!
You said it by yourself that your little brother is a big liar!
Instead of listening to god knows what more lies, you should take him to a doctor to treat him!
He is ill, baby!
What the hell babe, you should know, you have medical training, he is a pathological liar, for god’s sake!”, the bastard tried more.
I pulled my sister in my arms and kissed her crown, whispering in her hair and wiping her already soaked cheeks:
“Yes, YuYu I am a liar, a despicable liar who lies and hurts the people I love, but I promise that this time I’m telling the truth.
Believe me that I pondered a lot what to do.
Should I tell you that he is cheating on you, and take the risk to make you hate me for breaking your heart, for ruining your happiness?
Or should I forget what I have seen and let you live in what you think it’s a happy bubble, but in truth to live in a lie?
He is cheating on you with that real estate agent, Cheng Xiao is her name I think.
It’s without any doubt, because I saw them kissing in a supermarket.
Kissing, sort of speaking, actually she was sucking his nose.
Yes, she is a mentally deranged pervert, totally screwed at her head.
And this pathetic, ridiculous character that is your husband chose her over you!
YuYu, your pain is hurting me, you know that I love you.
I don’t care if you hate me now, but I couldn’t hide, this, away from you, it’s your right to know!
Please, don’t cry, he doesn’t worth your precious tears, you will find someone better to give you the love you deserve!”
I didn’t care if my family members were believing me or not, all I cared about, was my sister…and she was broken.
I, Wang Yibo, her own brother, was the one who broke her!
The bastard started to scream hysterically:
Yue sweetheart, don’t believe his lies!
You know that he was always jealous of you, jealous of the happiness we have, and he would do anything to take revenge on you, because you are happy!
You and I, we are happy!
Happy together!
Don’t allow your sick brother to break us!”
The despicable man pulled Yue away from my arms and with a smug grin plastered onto his face, he kicked off a suitcase from behind the couch and threw it in my direction, hitting my shoulder:
“Do you recognize this suitcase?
If you don’t, let me remind you, it’s yours, you stupid moron!
I suppose it’s a nice match to your fake mourning, because it’s green!
Ha, ha, ha, idiot, your sick lies got exposed!
You were so jealous of Yue’s happiness, that you made up a fake love, a fake American lover.
I could sense that you were telling a lie, but I didn’t want to hurt Yue, by telling her my suspicion. Because I cared about her, unlike you, who doesn’t give a sh!t that your lies are hurting her.
While all of us were waiting for you, here, to give you comfort for your dead lover, an airport worker brought this green suitcase registered under the name of Wang Yibo.
The green suitcase traveled to New York and back to Beijing, because the owner was not at the destination, in New York, to pick it up.”
The son of a bitch’s words were puncturing with no mercy my eardrums, while my eyes were plastered with horror onto my suitcase.
I could make up another lie and embroider an explanatory story…
But I decided not to…
Enough with the lies, I will tell the whole truth!
If only they would be willing to listen to me!
But right in the moment I have opened my mouth, to start telling the whole truth, I almost got a stroke and almost swallowed my tongue, that hard I gasped at the voice coming from the living room door:
“Yes, I was the one who signed the reception papers for your suitcase, because I was the one who opened the door to the airport worker.”
“Zhan?!
Zhan Zhan?!
Xiao Zhan?!
Why are you here?”, I stuttered, intending to walk towards him, but not being able to move my rooted feet, away from my spot.
“Oh, I was called by the original tenant’s sister to come at the address, for bringing the apartment key I was given when I rented it.
I was in the kitchen with Gujoja and heard everything.
Even though I didn’t understand much and I am confused like hell even at this moment, I was starting to believe that I was teleported in an alternative universe, especially when I first heard your voice.
Anyway, let me tell you further.
At the sight of the suitcase, first I thought that the original tenant, that lao Wang, sent someone ahead with his luggage, and he will arrive later on.
But then the worker told me the suitcase’s whole trip story.
I understood nothing, but in the end your family has clarified everything to me.
Almost everything, because I feel like I am acting in the lowest class movie, with an extremely bad storyline and overly stupid actors.
Especially me, whom about I never knew that I was that stupid.”
” Zhan, Zhan Zhan, please wait, don’t leave before giving me the chance to tell you…that…”, I tried to speak coherently in a strangled voice, while he turned his back at me, and started to walk away.
“What could be more to tell?!
That everything you said, everything you did, everything I thought we have, was a lie?!
A big, fat lie?!”
“Zhan, Zhan my love, please listen!
Yes I lied, I told many lies, not only to you, but to all the people I love.
I hurt everyone, but one thing I didn’t lie for sure!
I know that it’s late to ask you to believe me.
But I swear on my pathetic life, that I didn’t lie!
I swear that I love you, and it’s not a lie!”
He stopped for a second and I could hear his sharp inhale…but then he walked slowly towards the exit door, without looking back anymore, after greeting politely the others from the room.
I followed him in silence.
A small hope flickered into my bleeding heart when he talked before shutting the main door behind him, but the hope died as soon as he spoke:
“I am a businessman, therefore I will not let my private life issues interfere in our company’s business.
Also, I am doing this for Guang Guang, too, who wanted you so badly for his music.
You should not worry about the contract you have signed with our company.
The contract is still valid.
However, I have a small side request, I need to ask you to act professionally and forget that we have ever known each other.
After all, we are just two strangers forced to work together.
Therefore, we will meet Monday morning at work, have a good day, mister Wang Yibo!”
