Chapter 946: The Real Him (5)

“So? Wang Manpeng, why did you turn out this way? Was it just because of the fact that I was with Ruan Zeyan?” Ling Tianya stared at Wang Manpeng seriously. Although she knew that what she was about to say might trigger the man, she decided to proceed. “It might seem unfair from your perspective. But what has it got to do with Ruan Zeyan and me? Before I became Ruan Zeyan’s girlfriend, you never once told me how you felt. Although you would drop by the cafe to grab a coffee, you were no more than just another customer that I served. Why should I remember you?”
Ling Tianya was right. Wang Manpeng’s expression tightened. He looked angry and upset.
“Since you never expressed your feelings to me, I’m assuming that you never told Ruan Zeyan about them either. What’s so wrong about my decision, my choice to be with the man that I love? What’s there to be upset about? The truth is, that is love!”
Wang Manpeng’s expression was ashen. He didn’t want to hear any of what she had said.
Ling Tianya wouldn’t relent. She continued, “If you are bearing grudges against Ruan Zeyan because of me, a woman, you have a narrow mind. If this is the reason why you are doing all of this today, you have a small heart. Did you know how broken Ruan Zeyan was when you died? You were his brother who grew up with him! Why didn’t you tell him that you were still alive? Why did things have to turn out this way?”
“Brother?” Wang Manpeng’s tone was thick with sarcasm. “I am not Ruan Zeyan’s brother. I’m just a dog that Ruan Qishan adopted, a dog to stay beside Ruan Zeyan! He was my master, I was his shadow, I had to be prepared at all times to die for him. He was the high and mighty successor of the Ruan family, while I was just an orphan who had lost his family!”
Wang Manpeng was getting agitated now. He stood up from the sofa and flicked the cigarette aside. The cigarette butt fell to the carpet and the expensive carpet was stained with ash at once.
“But, Ling Tianya, you think too little of me. I would never hate the Ruan family this much just for a girl, never. In the beginning, when Ruan Zeyan first got together with you, I was very dejected. But when I saw your blissful expression and happy smiles, I felt your happiness as my own. I could tell that Ruan Zeyan was serious about you as well. He was very protective of you. I thought that if Ruan Zeyan was the one who ended up with you, I could be happy for both of you. I would be the shadow of you both and I would always be there to protect both of you, that was my sincere thought. I knew that Ruan Zeyan was better than me in every aspect. He could give you things that I never could! I was happy to wish you both happiness.”
Wang Manpeng turned to look at Ling Tianya, his eyes filled with hurt. “So, Ling Tianya, no matter what you say, you must not misunderstand me! Wang Manpeng isn’t someone who would turn against his brother over a woman!”
Ling Tianya noticed that Wang Manpeng had referred to Ruan Zeyan as a brother. It was proof that he had considered Ruan Zeyan as a real brother seven years ago, at least.
“Wang Manpeng, I was right. You did consider Ruan Zeyan as a friend or even a close brother. Gu Zhiqian too, right? If not, there is no reason to keep Gu Zhiqian alive now that you have assumed his identity.”
