CIATB Chapter 171 At this moment, he would no longer believe a single word she said, not even one.
Chapter 171 At this moment, he would no longer believe a single word she said, not even one.
Su Wan was completely shocked, her whole body trembling slightly.
She stared wide-eyed at Lu Chenyuan in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment and heartache.
She never expected that Lu Chenyuan had gone to such a crazy state.
Her heartfelt words and her desperate confession were seen by him as nothing more than pity and charity.
"Lu Chenyuan, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
Her voice was filled with barely concealed urgency and grievance, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"When have I ever pitied you or given you charity? I'm telling the truth, I like you, and that's never been a lie!"
Lu Chenyuan, however, seemed not to hear him and laughed to himself.
The laughter grew increasingly maniacal, filled with despair and sorrow, echoing jarringly and heartbreakingly in the cramped carriage.
"Hehe...ha...hehe...Su Wan, ah, Su Wan..."
His voice was broken and his breathing was rapid and labored.
His chest heaved violently, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Every word I say requires all my strength.
"I don't want to see you, I don't want to get close to you... not because I want to give up on you..."
He paused, his eyes almost overflowing with pain, his voice trembling with barely perceptible sobs.
"But...but I don't want to hurt you. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, afraid I'll hurt you..."
"But since you've come to me willingly, don't blame me for...losing control..."
His eyes suddenly turned crazed, and his fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly.
His knuckles were white, and his eyes swirled with a resolute determination to burn his bridges.
"Then come with me, together...!"
The moment he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate for a second and slammed on the gas pedal.
With a loud "boom," the engine emitted a piercing roar.
The car shot off like an arrow, piercing through the rain and speeding away from the residential area, heading towards the ring road.
The car sped through the torrential rain, the windshield wipers swung wildly, but the road ahead remained obscured.
Lu Chenyuan seemed to have completely gone mad, completely disregarding speeding and the vehicles speeding past him.
He wielded the steering wheel wildly, the car darting wildly through the lane, forcing all the surrounding vehicles to swerve to the side.
The screeching of brakes and the blaring of horns created a chaotic scene in the rain.
He didn't even care about the pedestrians on the roadside. His wheels rolled over the puddles on the roadside, and with a "splash," the murky water splashed hard onto the pedestrians riding electric bikes on the roadside.
The angry shouts of pedestrians were drowned out by the sound of rain and the roar of the engine, but he was completely oblivious, still pressing the accelerator to the floor and rushing forward recklessly.
Su Wan was completely stunned. She was pressed firmly into her seat by the enormous inertia, and her soul almost flew out of her body.
He gripped the overhead handrail tightly with both hands, his fingertips turning white, his heart pounding wildly, almost leaping out of his chest.
He's gone mad!!!
At this point, Lu Chenyuan had truly gone completely mad.
She knew perfectly well that at this moment, he was completely consumed by the despair and violence in his heart.
The calmness and rationality of the past were gone.
Lu Chenyuan's mind was filled with the glaring image from just now, the image of Su Wan being held in Lu Yuanfeng's arms, and the image of Lu Yuanfeng holding her hand and gazing at her tenderly.
Even if he was insanely jealous, even if he hated them to the core, he had to admit that they were such a perfect match when they stood together.
They were such a perfect match that he felt ashamed of himself, so perfect that he felt he had never been worthy of standing beside her.
He clenched his teeth so tightly they turned white, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth, and the crimson in his eyes growing ever stronger.
He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, using all his strength to charge forward madly.
Su Wan screamed her heart out, but he didn't hear a word she said, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
"Lu Chenyuan! Stop! Stop right now!"
Su Wan's voice was choked with sobs, filled with extreme urgency and fear.
She shook his body desperately, trying to wake the crazed man in front of her.
"You're crazy! You're really crazy! No! It's too dangerous!"
"Lu Chenyuan, stop! Please, stop!"
Her tears finally streamed down her face, mingling with the raindrops.
"I like you, I really like you, and I've never been lying to you!"
"Everything that happened today was a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"
She choked up as she explained rapidly, each word filled with her sincerity and urgency.
"I didn't mean to go on a blind date with him."
"The time was brought forward. I had no idea. There was nothing between him and me, absolutely nothing!"
But to Lu Chenyuan, all these heartfelt explanations sounded like lies and deception.
She's lying to him, she's still lying to him!
He screamed wildly in his heart, and the despair in his eyes grew stronger.
She must have gotten into the car to lie to Lu Yuanfeng, to be with him, to be with Lu Yuanfeng who was better and gentler than him, that's why she didn't hesitate to tell such a lie.
She must have seen him lose control of his emotions, was afraid he would get into trouble, and was afraid she would have to take responsibility, so she and Lu Yuanfeng conspired to put on this act to stabilize his emotions and appease this madman.
She's a liar, a liar from beginning to end!
He remembered how she used to hold his arm, her eyes sparkling, and tell him that no matter what happened, she would never give up on him, would always love him, and would stay with him forever.
He remembered her telling him that he was her destined soulmate, the one she would cross mountains and seas to be with, her past and present life, and the only light in her darkness.
But what happened next?
Later, she coldly told him that the two of them were not suitable, that he was not her destiny but her calamity, and that she wanted to give him up and stay away from him.
Liars, they're all liars!
At this moment, he would not believe a single word she said, not even one!
All those past pursuits, all those tender memories, were just tricks she used to deceive him and toy with his feelings!
Lu Chenyuan's entire heart was completely immersed in the bitter water, cold and desperate, and he had no ability to discern anything.
His body temperature rose higher and higher, and his mind became increasingly confused. In his chaotic consciousness, only boundless pain and anger remained.
The pain was so intense, it went deep into his bones, it was excruciating, it made him wish he were dead, and it made him want to end his life immediately.
He wanted to die, he really wanted to die, he wanted to be completely free, and never have to endure this torment again.
I will never have to watch her stand side by side with others again, and I will never have to be cruelly tortured by her like this again.
But he couldn't take her with him to die.
Even if she deceived him, even if she hurt him, even if he hated her to the core, he couldn't bear to let her suffer even the slightest harm, couldn't bear to let her fall into hell with him.
His remaining rationality, like a weak straw, desperately tugged at him, telling him that he couldn't go on like this, that he had to stop, that he absolutely had to stop, that he couldn't hurt her.
But another voice was screaming wildly in his heart, mocking his cowardice.
If she doesn't love you, if she really deceived you, then let her die with you, die together, and never be separated again. That way, you'll never have to be afraid of losing her again, and you'll never have to endure this kind of pain again. That would be good, really good.
