And knocking down that three-section building was merely a matter of a few bulldozer pushes. By the time the residents realized something was wrong, it would be too late.
Early that morning, Xiaofen's parents had gone with the others to the demolition office, leaving Xiaofen alone at home. They thought her legs were not in good shape, and they also feared that if disputes arose in today's negotiations, Xiaofen might be upset all over again...
No sooner had her parents left than a knock came at the door. Xiaofen assumed her father or mother had forgotten something, and without thinking much she walked over and opened the door — but when she saw who it was, she froze!
"What? Not happy to see me?" Kang Zhaoming said with a smile, looking at Xiaofen. Damn, this girl had grown even prettier than before. If she weren't so infatuated, playing with her a while longer wouldn't have mattered.
"You... you... Kang Zhaoming, what are you doing at my home?" Xiaofen glared at Kang Zhaoming, looking thoroughly unfriendly.
A month ago, if Kang Zhaoming had come to her door, Xiaofen would likely have been beside herself with joy. But now, nourished by new love, she had long since awakened from her former infatuation and seen Kang Zhaoming for what he was; every last longing for him was dead. Seeing Kang Zhaoming was like seeing a stranger — worse than a stranger, even.
After all, that hatred was not something she could easily set down! This man had ruined her whole life! Though Kang Xiaobo treated her well and had never scorned her, Xiaofen always felt she owed him — that she had not been able to give him an intact body — and the thought filled her with guilt.
And the one who had caused all of it was Kang Zhaoming. How could Xiaofen give him a pleasant face?
Kang Zhaoming had come alone, without Wang Shubin or Zhu Xiaozhang, because this visit was meant to be a performance for Xiaofen's benefit; only by showing sufficient sincerity could he shut her up. Bringing Zhu Xiaozhang and Wang Shubin would have smacked of putting on the airs of a young master, so to avoid arousing her disgust, he had brought none of them.
"Xiaofen, I came today because I truly want to have a good talk with you. Let me in first, and then we'll talk?" Kang Zhaoming said with a smile, trying hard to make his words sound sincere.
"There's nothing for us to talk about." Xiaofen shook her head and moved to close the door.
Kang Zhaoming was startled — he couldn't let her shut the door, or his visit would have been for nothing. He hastily caught hold of the door. "Xiaofen, don't close the door yet. I came today to apologize to you!"
"Apologize? Apologize for what?" Xiaofen frowned, but did not immediately shut the door.
"Xiaofen, I was young and reckless in the past, and I brought you a great deal of hurt. I've come to your door today especially to apologize to you!" Kang Zhaoming said with great "sincerity."
"Oh. I don't want to bring up the past anymore. You should go..." What Xiaofen said was in fact the truth: she had completely let go of the past. Seeing Kang Zhaoming now, though she still hated him somewhat, she also blamed herself for having been so foolish back then as to believe in such a man!
