Because she was addicted

In the end, Lu Chenyan was defeated.

"Bang!"

Wen Jia slammed the door shut and slid down against it until she knelt on the ground.

She heard Lu Chenyan packing his things outside the door.

Lu Chenyan stood outside the door for a long time, so long it felt like centuries had passed, before finally dragging his heavy steps away.

There was no further movement outside the door.

Wen Jia felt as if all her strength had been drained, and tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.

Then, she got up and started cleaning.

At first, she only wanted to wipe the table and mop the floor to erase Lu Chenyan's scent.

But gradually she realized that it was a huge project.

There were his used pillows on the bed, and his scent lingered on the blankets. On the bedside table sat a photo of them together, and in the drawer were several boxes of unused condoms.

The clothes and bags he bought for her took up half the space in the closet...

In the bathroom, his razor and aftershave lay quietly.

His blue bath towel was casually hung next to his pink bath towel.

Shower slippers are also hung on the wall.

On her dressing table, Lu Chenyan's skincare products were mixed in with her pile of cosmetics.

He left even more things downstairs.

Bowls and chopsticks for eating, cups for drinking water, a coffee machine, coffee he's collected from all over the world, sofa cushions, flowers and plants he's bought, and even his fishing gear lying in the storage cabinet...

It's impossible to finish sorting it out; it's simply impossible to clean it all up.

Lu Chenyan stayed at her house for several months, and her little house seemed to have been marinated by Lu Chenyan, with his flavor permeating every nook and cranny.

Wen Jia started crying again while cleaning.

How is she supposed to clean this properly?

Like the masters in martial arts movies, they have to undergo the Yi Jin Xi Sui (a ritual to change tendons and marrow).

Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, so I didn't have to work.

Wen Jia was in a daze, half-asleep, and lay there until the afternoon of the next day.

There was a knock on the door.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she assumed that Lu Chenyan had returned.

But then I thought, what is she expecting?

She was the one who drove him away, she was the one who uttered those harsh words, and she has no intention of forgiving him in this lifetime.

Perhaps it was overnight that love and hate changed too suddenly.

My brain and heart haven't adjusted yet.

There is still some separation between consciousness and behavior.

The knocking on the door continued.

Wen Jia went downstairs and opened the door.

Lu Chenyan's mother stood at the door, with Lu Chuan standing behind her.

Lu Chuan saw Wen Jia, his expression a mixture of emotions. He bowed slightly towards Lu Chenyan's mother.

"Madam, you two chat. I'll wait for you outside."

Lu Chenyan's mother nodded and said to Wen Jia:

"Miss Wen, may I come in?"

Good manners and etiquette are ingrained in one's bones.

But indifference and ruthlessness are also ingrained in their bones.

Wen Jia barely slept for a day and a night, feeling like she was walking on clouds.

"What's the matter?"

She stepped aside.

Lu Chenyan's mother stopped by the door and glanced at the shoes. Wen Jia said she didn't need to change them, so she slowly walked in, subtly observing Wen Jia's house as she went.

"Lu Chuan told me that Ayan had been living here with you. It must have been really tough for him."

Wen Jia gave a soft hum.

As expected of a young master from a wealthy family, living in a tiny apartment is truly a hardship. She practically gave up everything she had to buy such a house in Haicheng.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

"What do you want to say?" Wen Jia asked irritably.

After looking him over, Lu Chenyan's mother stood in the center of the living room, took a check out of her bag, and handed it over.

"Ms. Wen, I was very surprised by what happened yesterday. But, regardless of the process, at least the result is what I wanted. I will keep my promise to you, as compensation."

Wen Jia's heart remained calm and undisturbed.

She was very calm now, as if she was exhausted and had no energy left to be angry or excited.

She didn't even glance at the check, and sneered:

"Madam, you think this little bit of money is enough to compensate me?"

"How much do you want?" Lu Chenyan's mother's voice turned cold.

"One hundred million! Do you have that much?" Wen Jia raised her chin.

"you!"

Lu Chenyan's mother turned pale with anger.

Who are these people? Asking for a hundred million right off the bat? Even if the Lu family has a lot of money, it doesn't come from thin air. Do they think she's a sucker?!

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wen Jia say:

"Madam, if you can't afford it, don't stand here condescendingly begging others. And you need to understand, I didn't break up with your son because of the conditions you set. Your son deceived me and played with my feelings. I kicked him out after discovering his despicable behavior and filthy character."

Simply put, I don't want him anymore.

Lu Chenyan's mother's face grew increasingly grim.

The checks, held halfway through the air, were trembling.

She gripped the check tightly, and it took her a while to regain her composure and prevent herself from losing control.

"Miss Wen, if it weren't for your entanglement with Ayan, I would actually quite admire your personality."

Wen Jia: "Then should I thank you?"

"Miss Wen, in a few days I will persuade Ayan to come back to J country with me. From now on, you two will have no contact whatsoever. I believe this ending is better for you."

Once Lu Chenyan's mother explained her purpose, there was nothing more to it.

She was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Wen Jia stopped her, turned around and dragged out two large garbage bags and a large cardboard box from the corner, all of which were bulging with things.

She threw the things in front of Lu Chenyan's mother.

"He left in a hurry yesterday and didn't take many things with him. It turns out he was going to throw them away as trash. You've come at the right time, take them with you."

Wen Jia cleaned and tidied every place from upstairs to downstairs last night. She wiped everything down with a cloth, removed the showerheads and washed them, and cleaned the floor drains.

Lu Chenyan had a lot of things in his bag.

She also stuffed all the clothes, bags, and jewelry he had given her into a trash bag.

If we're going to split up, let's split up completely.

She's not the kind of woman who can't let go of things.

Lu Chenyan's mother looked extremely unpleasant, but she didn't lash out. She called Lu Chuan in and had his things moved away.

The room was empty.

Wen Jia's heart felt empty.

She sat on the sofa, panting, and after a while, she stood up again and went upstairs to shower and change clothes.

Fu Huaishen is still in the hospital.

She has to go and take a look.

……

Downstairs, Lu Chuan was carrying two large bags and a cardboard box, preparing to load them into the trunk of his car.

"You're insane!"

Lu Chenyan's mother scolded.

"Madam, these are all for the second young master..."

Before Lu Chuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted coldly by Lu Chenyan's mother.

"Didn't you hear what she said? This is all rubbish! Besides, why are you planning to take it back? To make Ah Yan think of you again? We've finally broken up, don't cause any more trouble."

Lu Chenyan's mother pointed to the garbage station downstairs.

"Throw it away."

Lu Chuan felt a pang of reluctance, but he still nodded in agreement and dragged the things to the side of the garbage room.

……

Lu Family Villa.

Lu Chenyan's mother hurriedly got out of the carriage and asked the servant who came to greet her:

"Where is the second young master?"

The servant reached out to take the bag. "Reporting to Madam, the Second Young Master is at the gym."

Madam Lu frowned.

"Has Dr. Li arrived yet?"

"We've arrived and are having tea in the garden."

Mrs. Lu went straight to the garden and immediately saw Dr. Li standing with his hands behind his back in a corner, looking towards the gym. Noticing Mrs. Lu coming in, Dr. Li nodded and gestured for her to be quiet.

Dr. Li quietly walked over.

"John, how is Ah Yan?"

Mrs. Lu looked worried.

Dr. Li shook his head. "He's been inside ever since he got back last night, boxing, lifting weights, running—he hasn't stopped. He's on the phone right now."

"Still not asleep?"

"no."

"This can't go on forever."

Madam Lu beckoned to the servants behind her.

"Go and bring the second young master a glass of water, and add his usual sleeping pills to it. Have Dr. Li check the dosage again."
