Chapter 656: Chapter 655: Not Treating You as a Stand-In (15)
He had once thought that she had changed just to hold onto her position as Young Madam, to win over his mother’s favor. Now, it seemed that it might not have been the case at all! Instead, she thought he liked Ling Yunshu, so she tried to emulate Ling Yunshu’s mannerisms.
It turned out that the person she had always wanted to please was him!
But at that time, he was engulfed in anger and resentment, and during those three years of marriage, he had treated Ling Chuxia with nothing but coldness and mockery, hurting her mercilessly time after time.
Only upon each discovery did he realize just how cruel he had been, just how deeply he had wounded Chuxia.
His heart painfully clenched, and he wished he could slap himself twice, but he had to clarify the matter of the body double. He looked up, his dark eyes firmly fixed on Ling Chuxia, his gaze filled with regret and sorrow, as he urgently said, "Chuxia, I have never considered you a replacement for Ling Yunshu, you are you, and I have nothing to do with Ling Yunshu."
Ling Chuxia had never expected that, after she had made herself so clear, Shi Che would still try to explain, even going so far as to completely deny his relationship with her elder sister.
He had liked her elder sister, from the past until now, everyone knew. How he had treated her these three years, she was well aware, and even they had just divorced, he was already engaged to her elder sister. That engagement news had dominated the headlines of major newspapers and magazines, and now, he was trying to dismiss it all in just a few words?
For the first time, Ling Chuxia felt that she did not recognize the man before her, the Shi Che she had grown up with. How had he become so unfamiliar? So terrifying?
She finally understood how frightened and panicked her sister must have felt upon seeing her and Shi Che together. There was a time her sister had slapped her without explanation, ruthlessly insisting she go abroad; she hadn’t been without dissatisfaction and resentment, but now she understood everything.
It wasn’t her sister who was heartless—it was Shi Che who was fickle!
In her mind, suddenly, someone flashed through her thoughts, someone who shouldn’t be there at the moment, yet she remembered—Zheng Rourou, the young actress.
She hadn’t seen her many times, but she had also heard about the relationship between her and Shi Che. Shi Che had once treated her exceptionally well, buying her luxury villas, sports cars, showering her with money, promoting her, but what about in the end?
The last time she saw her was when she coincidentally met her while dining with Shi Che. At that moment, Zheng Rourou had approached them flirtatiously, but Shi Che was extremely cold, as if the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him, turning his face unfeelingly.
So now, was he like this towards her sister as well? Passionate in front of her sister, but able to show passion to another woman just as easily when he turned around.
No wonder her sister was so heartbroken that day, no wonder her sister was so unsettled. If he could be so merciless towards someone he deeply loved, what about others?
"Heh." She didn’t even know she could still laugh at this moment, yet she did.
She forcefully raised her hand and harshly shook off Shi Che’s hand, glaring at him furiously, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred, "Shi Che, today I realized how good an actor you are."
Those chilling words slid into Shi Che’s ears like ice, his heart violently shuddering, and he didn’t even feel his hand that had been shaken off.
He had eagerly explained to her, only to receive such a response?
