The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 824 - 325: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 9)_3

He Jingtian hadn’t even confessed to Su Anqi that his real mother actually had a mental illness!

Probably because of this previous concealment, He Jingtian didn’t know how to explain, and he didn’t want to face Su Anqi.

Su Anqi guessed these things, making her even more furious.

First of all, of course, she was angry at He Jingtian’s concealment.

Secondly, Su Anqi blamed He Jingtian for not trusting her enough.

Okay, Su Anqi indeed has some difficulty accepting a mad mother-in-law, but when there’s trouble, find a way to solve it.

Like this, He Jingtian didn’t even show up and didn’t say a word of explanation, did he really have Su Anqi in his heart?!

Unfortunately, Su Anqi is a proud and reserved girl, she couldn’t bring herself to chase after He Jingtian.

Even if she wanted to confront He Jingtian, she needed a decent excuse.

Soon, the "excuse" came.

"Taking Mom to College!" This report finally made it to the press.

Although it wasn’t on the front page, and the coverage wasn’t very large, the newspaper still included a photo.

In the black-and-white newspaper picture, the mother had a blank expression while the son was patiently taking care of her, with the warm sunlight suffusing the scene; that picture was breathtakingly beautiful.

Almost overnight, He Jingtian, a student of S University, became famous.

Originally, the story of He Jingtian taking his mad mother to college was only circulating in some departments of S University.

But with the newspaper report, it seemed like the whole Provincial City was discussing this filial new-generation college student!

After reading the newspaper, Su Anqi no longer hesitated, grabbing the newspaper and running to the faculty dorm to find He Jingtian.

"..." Su Anqi had a stomach full of words, but seeing He Jingtian, seemingly more confident and composed, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing his wife from his past life, one of the people he owed the most to, He Jingtian couldn’t help but sigh silently in his heart.

"Anqi, let’s go have a talk!"

He Jingtian sent his real mom to the opposite door, to Mrs. Ma’s house, to learn knitting, warmly coaxed his real mom, then put on his coat and took Su Anqi to a café outside the school.

"You, you—"

Sitting in a booth, facing He Jingtian, Su Anqi opened her mouth but only managed to say "you."

"Anqi, I’m sorry!"

He Jingtian seemed unaware of Su Anqi’s hesitation, contradiction, and embarrassment, and solemnly apologized to her.

Whether in his past life or this one, he was destined to let Su Anqi down.

But Su Anqi misunderstood, thinking He Jingtian was apologizing for his "disappearance" for half a month.

"What exactly happened? Before you went back to your hometown, everything was fine, wasn’t it?!"

He Jingtian’s "I’m sorry" finally gave Su Anqi an entry point into the topic.

She spoke somewhat angrily, "You returned half a month ago but didn’t come to see me. Yes, I know, I’m not anyone special to you. But we’re at least friends, aren’t we? You came back; it wouldn’t hurt to let a friend know."

Su Anqi was still resentful about He Jingtian’s "unexplained disappearance," but He Jingtian, following the voice in his heart, was already preparing to let go of Su Anqi.

Yes, just like that inner voice said, wanting to continue pursuing Su Anqi after being reborn, is it really to make amends, or because Su Anqi is his best choice?!

If Su Anqi had also been reborn, retaining memories of her past life, realizing that she was marrying He Jingtian again, would she feel disgusted, would she hate him enough to want to stab him?!

He Jingtian had no idea, because if he were to switch places with Su Anqi, being cuckolded and having his family inheritance seized in his past life, faced with the other party calculating against him again after using the opportunity of rebirth, he’d certainly feel disgusted enough to want to kill them!

Forget it, better to let her go.

He Jingtian didn’t want to be a Phoenix Man, nor did he want to hurt a pitiful woman he once failed.

Of course, He Jingtian’s decisive determination was significantly related to his increased abilities now.

Because He Jingtian discovered that even without relying on women or using connections, he could live well with his own skills.

Why kneel when you can stand tall.

Phoenix Man, gold digger, haven’t you heard enough of these in your past life?!

In his previous life, his affair behind his wife’s back wasn’t without rebellion and backlash from excessive repression.

"Anqi, I’m sorry!"

Organizing his thoughts before explaining, He Jingtian couldn’t help but say another apology.

Su Anqi suddenly felt that the He Jingtian in front of her had become somewhat unfamiliar.

She was uneasy inside, wanting to say something, but then He Jingtian spoke again—

"I’ll start from the beginning..."
