Chapter 1293 Why are you avoiding me?
Has no one told you that talking about others behind their backs is very impolite?
Before he arrived, these people probably said something else, which Liang Chen disliked.
The Jiang family members were all embarrassed, because they hadn't said anything bad about Liang Chen at all; it was clearly the Liang family members who were saying it.
Mother Liang said, "Xiao Chen, you've come at the right time. We were just talking about you. We said you should follow Uncle Jiang and Manman to learn properly. It just so happens that you two young people have known each other since you were little, so you must have a lot to talk about. Why don't you go outside and chat slowly? I'll just chat with your uncle and aunt for a while."
Jiang Manman quickly waved her hand: "No need, Auntie, it's the same to say it here."
Jiang Manman avoided Liang Chen's gaze, but Liang Chen interpreted this as disdain.
Is Jiang Manman looking down on him?
He became like this entirely because of Jiang Manman, so why should Jiang Manman despise him?
"Manman, come out here, I want to talk to you," Liang Chen said.
Jiang's father could also see that Jiang Manman was unhappy, so he said, "Manman is right, we can talk about it here. Actually, I don't think it's necessary for Manman to come over. Manman, didn't you say that school is about to start and you have a lot to prepare? Why don't you go and prepare first?"
Jiang Manman also wanted to leave, so she said, "Okay, I'll go first then."
Jiang Manman didn't really want to come; she only came out of politeness and courtesy because the two families had a good relationship.
Jiang Manman left, and after leaving the ward, she sent a message to Huo Yanchen.
"Mr. Huo, what are you doing?"
It's obvious without even guessing that Huo Yanchen was working.
But now that she saw Liang Chen, she missed Huo Yanchen terribly and wanted to cleanse her eyes.
I wonder if Huo Yanchen is busy right now. If I go to him directly, it shouldn't bother him, right?
Jiang Manman was thinking of going to find Huo Yanchen so they could have lunch together.
But before she even reached the elevator, someone caught up with her.
"Jiang Manman".
It's Liang Chen.
Upon hearing Liang Chen's voice, Jiang Manman felt uneasy all over.
She forced back the tingling sensation on her scalp and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Are you avoiding me? Why are you avoiding me?"
"No." Jiang Manman forced a smile; she had already been very polite.
"Then why are you acting like this? Aren't you looking down on me?" Liang Chen's tone was not good.
Jiang Manman took a deep breath: "Do you have to spell it out for me? I just don't want to see you, Liang Chen. Do you know how much you've changed in the last few days? I don't know how you've become like this, but I'd rather I'd never met you."
“The Liang Chen I know is a very responsible person. Even if he stumbles, he will get back up. But what about you now? You act like the whole world has wronged you and everyone owes you something. It was just a mistake, and you can make up for it if you pick yourself up. But you can see the end from the beginning. If you are satisfied with how you are now, I have no objection. But I don’t want to know Liang Chen like this. Do you understand what I mean?”
Jiang Manman is a very good-tempered person; she rarely loses her temper. However, Liang Chen's behavior ignited her anger.
Although she didn't like Liang Chen, she still felt that Liang Chen shouldn't have acted that way.
She wasn't the type to try and hook up with someone she didn't like, saying she wanted to be friends with them. She didn't want to be friends with Liang Chen either, but she really disliked his persistent and entangled behavior.
Perhaps she has her own problems, but she really doesn't want things to be this way.
Upon hearing Jiang Manman's words, Liang Chen clenched his fists tightly: "Jiang Manman, what do you mean by this? Isn't my current miserable state all because of you?"
"If your Jiang family won't help me, fine, but now you're making sarcastic remarks. Do you think I, Liang Chen, am inferior to you and that I absolutely need your Jiang family's help?"
See, that's not what she meant at all, but Liang Chen insists on interpreting it that way.
Therefore, Jiang Manman felt that the gap between her and Liang Chen was getting deeper and deeper, and they no longer understood each other.
"Liang Chen, I don't know what I said that made you misunderstand. I apologize, okay? There was nothing between us to talk about. Didn't you come after me to talk to me?"
"That's settled then. Let's just pretend we're strangers from now on and not talk to each other."
Just then, the elevator arrived. Jiang Manman was about to step into the elevator when Liang Chen reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her out.
Jiang Manman shouted, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
But there were hardly any people in the ward, and no one else could hear Jiang Manman's voice.
Liang Chen also reached out and covered Jiang Manman's mouth to prevent her from screaming loudly, and then pulled her to the stairwell next door.
"Ugh... ugh ugh ugh!" Jiang Manman was trying to say something, but no sound came out.
After Liang Chen pulled Jiang Manman to the stairwell, he didn't rush to let go of her hand.
He said, "Manman, I don't know if it's me or you who has changed. I really don't want things to turn out like this with you. Please don't look at me like that."
The way Jiang Manman looked at him felt like a knife piercing Liang Chen's heart, as if he were a worthless piece of trash who didn't deserve to live in this world.
Jiang Manman just looked at Liang Chen, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Liang Chen felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He said, "We've known each other since we were little. You've said that we're best friends. I know you don't like me, but why? What did I do wrong?"
“There’s nothing wrong with liking someone. I like you, but I haven’t done anything to you. Why do you hate me? And why won’t you help me? Instead, you use such a small amount of money to humiliate me.”
"Seeing me fall from grace, are you happy? Do you feel that I'm finally not good enough for you, that no one can bother you anymore?" Liang Chen's voice was strained, and he sounded like a madman.
Jiang Manman shook her head; she had no such intention at all.
She has never looked down on Liang Chen, and even now, she doesn't look down on him. She just feels sorry and disappointed, thinking that Liang Chen is overthinking things.
Liang Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was extremely cruel: "Why? Why is this happening to me? Why is God so unfair to me? Why isn't it you who has to suffer this?"
If only the Jiang family went bankrupt, he could step forward to save Jiang Manman, and she would definitely fall in love with him.
