Chapter 180: Chapter 176 Provocation from Song Xin

Chapter 176 Provocation from Song Xin

Taking the half-day off she was entitled to in the morning, Jiang An ultimately sent the little Samoyed back according to Gao Chuan’s instructions. As she stepped out of the pet store, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

She checked the time and, seeing that it was still early, sent a message to Ji Wanwan who was on leave at home. Bored out of her mind at home, Ji Wanwan found that Jiang An had taken the initiative to arrange a meetup with her.

The two had lunch at a Japanese restaurant at noon, where Ji Wanwan, upon hearing what had happened during Gao Chuan’s birthday the previous day, almost jumped out of her chair in anger.

"That Song surname is obviously playing you, isn’t she?" Ji Wanwan slapped the table in front of her, looking at Jiang An, who sat across from her lost in thought, feeling a surge of rage within.

Initially, Ji Wanwan thought that with Jiang An by Gao Chuan’s side on his birthday, she could have made the man happy. Who could have known that Song Xin would come along and interfere? This was clearly inciting discord between them!

"You see I’m not wrong, right? If you don’t act against the enemy, the enemy will take action. Now you’ve finally uncovered the true face of this vixen," Ji Wanwan deduced, based on her previous experiences.

She had seen plenty of such scheming people in the entertainment industry and was more than adept at dealing with them. But for someone as simple-minded as Jiang An, it was probably quite difficult.

Beside her, Jiang An, upon hearing this, took a few sips of water and slowly began to reflect on Ji Wanwan’s reasoning. Before, she had only thought that Song Xin was at most one of Dr. Gao’s past flings, until last night when the woman asked her to pick up that cake. Only then did she realize that she was meant to embarrass herself in front of all of Gao Chuan’s friends.

And she had fallen right into the trap. Now she estimated that last night’s events had already caused quite a bit of suspicion among people.

Ji Wanwan tapped the table, regaining Jiang An’s focus, and started strategizing for her: "Anan, listen to me, at this time what you need to do is to learn how to assert your dominance."

After finishing lunch together, Jiang An rushed back to the hospital to work. In the afternoon, Song Xin saw patients in the outpatient clinic. Jiang An assisted beside her, taking notes, and because they were busy with work, neither mentioned the events of the previous evening.

However, Jiang An wasn’t the type who could keep things bottled up. Seeing that work had ended and Song Xin had stepped out of the office and gone to the restroom, Jiang An followed.

She felt that some matters had to be clarified face to face.

After Song Xin finished in the restroom and saw Jiang An waiting outside, she calmly turned on the tap and washed her hands, slightly smirking at the young woman waiting outside the restroom.

With a disposition naturally averse to conflict, Jiang An rarely argued with others. Confronting the proud woman as she walked out, she mustered her courage and said, "Dr. Song, I have something to ask you."

Song Xin obligingly stopped and, with arms crossed, scrutinized the slightly nervous girl, curious to see her next move.

Jiang An, mentally rallying herself, was never good at commanding others. She tried her best to keep her voice steady before asking, "Why did you ask me to pick up that cake yesterday? Knowing that Dr. Gao never celebrates his birthday, why did you still want me to attend the gathering?"

Listening to the young girl questioning her with eyes full of indignation, Song Xin found it somewhat amusing. This was truly an inexperienced young lady who had yet to understand why she was here.

She loathed such foolish opponents, who seemed incapable of putting up a fight.

The woman let out a disdainful laugh, "Jiang An, don’t you understand yet?"

Jiang An was a bit shorter than the woman, and her clear eyes observed the woman in front of her, her heart inexplicably filling with panic.

"You’re simply not worthy of Gao Chuan, nor are you fit to be his wife. You don’t even know such an important thing about him; do you think you’re qualified as a wife?" Song Xin straightforwardly revealed her true thoughts. She felt there was no need to continue pretending in front of Jiang An; every time she saw that pure, lamb-like face, it irritated her.

The woman’s words were like sharp knives stabbing Jiang An in the heart. The girl slowly lowered her eyelids, unable to retort against Song Xin’s ridicule at the moment.

Judging from yesterday’s farce, it was indeed the case; she seemed to be an unqualified wife.

"Jiang An, wake up, the story of Cinderella and the prince should have ended. Don’t think I don’t know why you married Gao Chuan," since the mask was off, she was not afraid to slip up in front of Jiang An anymore.

"I’ve known Gao Chuan for nearly twenty years, and I’ve liked him for more than ten. What gives you the right to sit in Mrs. Gao’s seat? Face reality, Jiang An, Gao Chuan does not love you at all. He’s just using you as a shield."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An’s legs suddenly went weak, and she took two steps back. She found the woman in front of her far too terrifying, with every word she uttered being exceedingly harsh to the ear.

However, Song Xin seemed not content to stop there; she couldn’t wait to see Jiang An with tearful eyes, believing she could shatter Jiang An’s confidence in just a few words.

So what if you’re Mrs. Gao for the time being, to outsiders, it still looks like Song Xin is the only one worthy of Gao Chuan.

"Think about it, Jiang An." After saying her last sentence, Song Xin resolutely left, leaving Jiang An still stunned in place. Song Xin’s words kept echoing in her ears. She was like a puppet who had lost its soul, the light in her eyes instantly vanishing.

Every sentence uttered by Song Xin struck deep, seemingly validating her Cinderella existence, as marrying Gao Chuan had been the fairy tale life she longed for.

Yet even if the dream is so beautiful that one is immersed in it, she must eventually wake up.

She clearly knew that Song Xin was provoking her, but still, she couldn’t help being struck emotionally.

Moreover, she was like a hedgehog covered in spines, seemingly unapproachable, but hiding unspoken fragility.

What was more ridiculous was that she was so overwhelmed by Song Xin’s words that she couldn’t say anything in return, like a mute.

What a disappointing creature, Jiang An thought.

Soon, a colleague came by to use the restroom; seeing Jiang An standing alone, they asked concernedly if something happened. Jiang An reined in her emotions and smiled, saying nothing was wrong and left nonchalantly.

On the way home from work, the girl was lost in thought for a long time.

Indeed, she had been overconfident all along, being young and truly ignorant of the genuine pattern of marital interactions; she was merely pulled along by Gao Chuan into marriage, and somehow they ended up together without clarity.

It seemed that she and Dr. Gao had never truly gotten to know each other deep down, confined to physical intimacy; she had never seriously considered what was truly needed between them.

Especially when Song Xin told her that Dr. Gao didn’t love her, she could almost find evidence in every detail of their life.

Dr. Gao never seemed to have introduced her to friends openly, and he never really introduced his family or preferences to her.

He never once said "I love you."
