Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Sisters Falling Out (6)
Ling Yunshu understood in her heart. Since Ling Chuxia had come to find her, it meant she knew everything. Denial was useless; it was better to admit the truth and then cry to Ling Chuxia about her difficulties and ask for her forgiveness.
After all, she was aware of Ling Chuxia’s feelings toward her and knew that Ling Chuxia was soft-hearted but not weak. As long as she acted miserable enough, she was sure to be moved and, even if initially angry, would eventually forgive her.
She had never thought of hurting her...
As Ling Chuxia listened to these few words, her eyes felt warm and swollen, with a fog constantly rising before them. A bitter and sour feeling churned at her breastbone. She had never intended to hurt her, yet for so many years, she had stifled her feelings, repressed her emotions, and forcefully transformed herself into someone else, guarding the position of the Young Madam of the Shi Family for her.
In fact, during those three years, she had never felt it was too hard, but at this moment, it felt bitter in her heart.
Seeing that Ling Chuxia didn’t speak, panic flashed in Ling Yunshu’s eyes. She reached out her hand and grabbed Ling Chuxia’s hand on the table, hurriedly continuing to explain, "Xiaxia, believe me, I really didn’t mean to hurt you. It’s just...it’s just that I love Shi Che too much. I didn’t want to lose him like that, so I was blinded by my emotions and made so many mistakes. I really know I was wrong now, I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
Ling Yunshu cried pitifully in front of her, begging. To say that Ling Chuxia felt no stir of emotion would be an absolute lie. After all, this was her elder sister, her only family.
From childhood, she had always been good to her, even originally in the orphanage. If she hadn’t begged Madam to take her along, she wouldn’t have been able to grow up in luxury. Her heart always remembered this favor.
If her sister had only hidden the confession from Shi Che because she loved him too much, she could forgive her. But... she needed to clarify first whether that text message was really sent by her. She needed to know if her child really indirectly died because of her!
Ling Chuxia took a deep breath, her dark eyes staring intently at Ling Yunshu, and spoke in a hoarse and slow voice, "Elder sister, you truly didn’t mean to hurt me, did you?"
"Of course, Xiaxia, you’re my dear sister. I know I’ve done many wrong things, but I have never forgotten that point."
Ling Yunshu grasped Ling Chuxia’s hand even tighter, not expecting Ling Chuxia to forgive her so quickly. Indeed, her tears and show of weakness were always Chuxia’s weak points. Because she was excited, her voice even trembled fiercely.
Dear sister? If only she truly still considered her a dear sister.
Ling Chuxia’s dark eyes gently closed and then slowly opened; she spoke word by word, "Elder sister, are you sure that you really never hurt me?"
With every question from Ling Chuxia, Ling Yunshu was able to answer calmly, but when she asked so earnestly twice, a tremor unwittingly shook Ling Yunshu’s heart, her thoughts drifting involuntarily to the child. After all, it was a life; she couldn’t possibly be completely free of guilt and remorse.
However, Chuxia couldn’t possibly know about the child, even if she and Shi Che had reconciled and even if Shi Che had explained that the text wasn’t sent by him. She wouldn’t know who had sent it, as all the evidence had already been destroyed.
