Chapter 145: Guilt

Fang Yuan remarked, “You have talent in design. If you’re willing to put in the effort, you’ll surely achieve a commendable rank.”
Gu Panpan remained skeptical about her own abilities.
Observing her lack of confidence, Fang Yuan continued calmly, “Even if you don’t make it to the top three, the competition experience alone is valuable.” Although Fang Yuan hadn’t paid attention to small-scale competitions like the national competition for a while, they were still considered prestigious in the eyes of designers. Securing a ranking in such competitions served as a significant affirmation of one’s skill.
“Will the Gu Family’s clothing company participate?” Fang Yuan patted Gu Panpan’s shoulder and departed.
Gu Panpan sat at her desk, her mind wandering for a moment, before she accessed the National Costume Design Competition on her computer…

Fang Jiayi snapped a picture of the signed contract and sent it to Lu Chen. However, Lu Chen’s response was rather succinct: [Congratulations.]
Fang Jiayi felt a sense of emptiness. Meanwhile, the second-year class WeChat group became animated.
“@Fang Jiayi, we spotted on Weibo that you secured second place in the national piano competition. Is that true? You’re incredible!”
“We didn’t even know you played the piano! @Fang Jiayi.”
“Ever since you returned to the Fang family and started attending an elite school, you haven’t been in touch with us. I’ve missed you so much! @Fang Jiayi.”
“Have you forgotten about us?”
“Why don’t we arrange a celebration tonight to honor Jiayi’s second place?! @Everyone.”
“Alright!”
“I agree.”
“Agreed +1.”
The accident that occurred eighteen years ago had led to Fang Jiayi being taken away and raised by the janitors from a very young age. As the child of janitors, she came from a humble family background, enduring constant disdain since childhood. She had often been bullied, but now, the very people who had once looked down on her and tormented her were singing her praises and eagerly planning celebrations.
Fang Jiayi’s emotions were complex; deep down, she was the one who longed to show off.
“Jiayi, I heard that your friend is the son of the wealthiest man in Fengcheng City. Invite him to join us tonight!”
“Is that appropriate? Would a wealthy heir agree to attend an event among families with humble backgrounds like ours?”
“How could that be? As long as Jiayi asks, her boyfriend will surely honor her request!”
“That’s true. Jiayi, bring your boyfriend along tonight! Just to be clear, this time, we’re all celebrating your second place. You and your boyfriend won’t have to pay!”
“Yes, we’ll split the expenses.”
Seeing that the discussion had gone on for a while without a response from her, Fang Jiayi took a screenshot and forwarded it to Lu Chen.
[Brother Lu Chen, what do you think?]
[If you’re busy, 1 can go alone. It’s fine.]
[Everyone has good intentions. I don’t want to disappoint them.]
On the other end, when Lu Chen spotted this message, he felt a twinge of guilt. His girlfriend had achieved second place in the National Piano Competition, yet as her boyfriend, he was preoccupied with thoughts of Fang Yuan!
Ever since he had encountered Fang Yuan outside Old Master Bo’s ward the last time, his heart had not been as composed as before. That girl had been dressed plainly, but her facial features and demeanor had left him captivated.
For the past few nights, he had dreamt about her. He dreamt of the two of them sharing sweet moments on a date, culminating in a kiss on her enchanting lips…
On the other end,
Fang Jiayi waited for what seemed like an eternity, growing increasingly anxious due to the absence of a reply from Lu Chen. She contemplated her next move when her phone buzzed, and a new message appeared.
[I’ll join you tonight.]
Fang Jiayi couldn’t contain her joy and replied with a flurry of hug and kiss emo j is.
[Brother Lu Chen, 1 knew you’d treat me the best!]
[Brother Lu Chen, you haven’t talked to me much in the past few days. I thought you were mad at me.] Fang Jiayi concluded her message with a somewhat distressed expression.
Lu Chen, feeling guilty for his recent behavior, realized Jiayi’s kindness and sensitivity. Why had he been thinking about that cold Fang Yuan? Fang Yuan, who didn’t seem to care about herself and was entangled with an older man, didn’t deserve his attention. Having chosen Jiayi, he was determined to hold her hand and move forward. He would also find a way to address the issue with his parents. In this world, there was no one as kind and pure as Jiayi…
Meanwhile,
Fang Yuan received a WeChat message on her phone.
[Yuanyuan, what are you up to? When can you come and pick up the Heart Strengthening Herb?]
It was then that Fang Yuan realized she had been occupied with managing the company and hadn’t collected the items from the auction with Tang Nan.
[By the way, the auction recently had some impressive items. Knowing you were busy, I went ahead and purchased them.. Isn’t that great?]
