"I can answer you a thousand or a million times, and my answer will be the same. What else can I feel for you apart from loathing? If it werent for you, the three of us wouldnt have needed to suffer so much. The Xi family, would not have turned out like this" Xi Mushans deep voice was heard, and one could hear the unhappiness, and sorrow in his voice.
"From very early on, you knew that I was committed to someone, but you forced Wenna to leave and trapped me with marriage. Now, you can understand that some things cannot be forced. You shouldve lived a good life."
"I really hate you so much right now! I hate the two of you. I hate you as much as you love each other. Im thoroughly upset." Yue Lingsi laughed bitterly. "But even if thats the case, theres nothing I can do."
"Theres karma for everything. Youll have to bear the consequences of your own actions. I dont care whether you hate me or not, but Ive come here to tell you that, Yue Lingsi, theres no use forcing what doesnt belong to you. If the two couldve felt contented with the way things were, we wouldnt have ended up like this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for asking too much and stepping over someones bottom line."
Shen Wenna looked at Yue Lingsi with an indifferent expression. She did not seem willing to say much, so she only looked calmly at Xi Mushan and got up. "Ill wait for you in the car."
"Wenna!" Xi Mushan called out, worried that Shen Wenna would think too much.
However, Shen Wenna only looked at the two of them calmly and walked away.
"Ive got nothing else to say," she said, and then her frail figure vanished from the pavilion.
In the pavilion, only Xi Mushan and Yue Lingsi were left.
"The person that Ive always been thinking of has been Wenna. You know this more than anyone else. You contributed a lot to the Xi family, but that wasnt what I wanted. Doesnt the fact that I could give everything up to start over again not explain everything?" Xi Mushan sighed and said.
Yue Lingsi smiled sadly. "After you divorced Shen Wenna, I thought that Id have a chance, yet I used my entire life to prove that youre a heartless person. No, I should say that youve given all of your heart to Shen Wenna."
"I lost and I was wrong." She found it hard to face the truth.
How long could she be stubborn for?
"Right from the start, you lost. From the first time I saw Wenna, Id alreadyId already known I had unswerving feelings for her."
"But I had unswerving"
When Yue Lingsi wanted to say unswerving feelings, she could not finish her words. She did not forget that because she wanted revenge for Xi Mushans cruelty, she did betray him. In fact, there had been many times
"You know about Xinyis situation too. It was all because of you. Xiaye isnt bothered about it anymore, so I hope you can face the state youre in too. The grudges between us shouldnt involve the children. I hope that the two sisters can do well respectively, and its time for everything to be concluded right here and now."
"Do well respectively? Can Xinyi be well? Shes like me. Shes lost almost everything."
Yue Lingsis eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She did not know how she should face Xi Xinyi, her one and only daughter.
Those hurtful words were still ringing in her ears. Even though their relationship had calmed down, once some cracks were there, they could never be fixed.
"Shes not like you. Shes still young, so its not too late," Xi Mushan said, "Shes your daughter."
Yue Lingsi forced a smile. "And yours too."
"Yes, thats why I hope that shell do well. The same goes for Xiaye too." Xi Mushan stood with his arms behind his back as he looked at Yue Lingsi. "You probably regret your choices back then now, dont you?"
"Whats the point of regretting it? If I knew today would come, I might not have chosen to meet you. I hate Shen Wenna. I hate the way she can lock you down by doing nothing at all while I"
A teary glimmer flashed in Yue Lingsis eyes. "But right now, I can only surrender to my fate, so I wont wish you well either!"
"Thats up to you as long as you think youll feel better that way. If theres a next lifetime, just dont meet me again," Xi Mushan finally said that, and then left the pavilion.
Yue Lingsis stifled cries were heard
It was all over. Perhaps, this was truly the end.
She cried for a while before she felt a warmth on her shoulders as a light-colored coat was draped on her shoulders. She turned around and saw that Xi Xinyi had appeared behind her.
"Xinyi"
Yue Lingsi trembled slightly, unable to help her sadness from spilling out.
Xi Xinyis gaze was calm as she watched the teary-eyed Yue Lingsi. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
"You can give up now," Xi Xinyi said.
Yue Lingsi cried and forced a laugh. "From the moment I met him, my hearts never lived. Maybe humans just have no respect for ourselves. The more we cant get something, the more we want it. I tried so hard, but it was just uselessHes right too. This is a matter between the three of us. Theres no need to implicate you and Xi Xiaye. I was just too narrow-minded and led you astray. I know life is hard for you right now. Dont go provoking Xi Xiaye anymore. If the two of you can exist in harmony, or do well respectively, that would be a good thing too."
Do well respectively?
Exist in harmony?
When Xi Xinyi heard these words, she could not help but laugh.
If she really wanted to do all that, it would not be that easy.
She was still figuring out how to get Han Yifeng and her son back
Xi Xinyi did not know why, but she was willing to trust Mu Yuchen. She seemed to see a sliver of hope within him, especially when she received orders for her to work with Qi Lei.
She knew that her chance had come!
"Care about yourself first. Dont worry about me," Xi Xinyi responded.
Yue Lingsi smiled bitterly and did not say any more. She waved at the nurse in front of her, and the nurse quickly walked over to wheel her away.
The sunny and cloudless weather from the past few days added some heat to the atmosphere. Even the air felt a little turbid.
It was only when a jubilant pouring of the rain came did the air feel crisp and clean again, making one feel spirited.
By the window sill of De Bao, Dongfang Liuyun was lying in the rattan chair as always while she casually flipped through ancient texts. The rain continued to pour outside, and De Bao seemed even more unusually quiet.
No one could be sure how long had passed when suddenly outside the door, the beaded curtains were drawn
