“How would I get information? Everything in the orphanage was burned to the ground. Nobody else survived the disaster aside from both of us. Not even the matron.” Ye Yuwei looked at Bai Yuyan.

“Brother Gu loves you so much. You are doing well now, aren’t you?” Bai Yuyan subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Bai Yuyan, are you trying to sound me out?” Hearing Bai Yuyan’s words, Ye Yuwei suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked.

“Yuwei, what are you talking about?” Slightly startled, Bai Yuyan asked with an innocent face.

Ye Yuwei swung off Bai Yuyan’s hand that was clinging to her arm.

“Yuyan, we grew up together and know each other very well. You don’t have to pretend. You fell for Gu Juexi, didn’t you?”

Bai Yuyan’s lips trembled slightly and color drained from her face.

“Yuwei, that’s how you see me? Yes, I am materialistic and love money very much. Speaking of this, who doesn’t want to live a wealthy and comfortable life? But I don’t need a man to give me all this. Now, I can live a very good life on my own. It’s been so many years, I am no longer my old self.” ¹ Hearing Bai Yuyan, Ye Yeuwei had no comeback.

“I just want to tell you that if you are into Gu Juexi, you can go ahead. You don’t have to waste time on me. I’m serious.” Ye Yuwei turned to leave as soon as she finished her words.

“Yuwei, don’t get me wrong. I am here because Grandma told me that Brother Gu intends to venture into the jewelry industry. I am here to help Brother Gu repay a debt. They saved our lives. I have no other intentions.”

Ye Yuwei turned to look at Bai Yuyan and a strange feeling stirred within her.

‘If I am not mistaken, Lu Qichuan is the one who saved Bai Yuyan. But she is right. They did save our lives.’

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and the strange feeling quickly faded.

“Yuyan, I am telling you the truth. Don’t waste your time on me. Gu Juexi and I are over.”

“Yuwei, how many times you want me to tell you? We grew up together. Even though I’ve hurt you before, I have never done anything against the law.” Bai Yuyan’s voice trembled with emotions.

Ye Yuwei stared at her and lapsed into silence.

“Yuwei, of the whole orphanage, there are only you and me left in this world. You still don’t trust me?” Bai Yuyan’s eyes reddened as she said.

“You know it better than anyone else how the fire started.” Ye Yuwei slowly got her hands off Bai Yuyan.

Bai Yuyan’s face darkened and once again held onto Ye Yuwei’s arm.

“Ye Yuwei, you know it very well that it was not my fault. I didn’t know the things inside were flammable.”

“If it wasn’t because you were underage back then, do you think you can still be here today? Bai Yuyan, we are not really close indeed.” Once again, Ye Yuwei swung off Bai Yuyan’s hand that was latched to her arm.

“You still blame me.” Bai Yuyan cried out sorrowfully.
