Chapter 699: Chapter 698: Sisters Falling Out (8)
Ling Chuxia’s hand suddenly lifted and fiercely slapped across Ling Yunshu’s face!
Ling Yunshu, originally blanking out for a moment on hearing Ling Chuxia’s words "So it really was you," felt something was amiss. But before she could figure it out, a sharp pain struck her face, forcing her head to the side involuntarily, and her delicate face immediately displayed five red fingerprints.
The slap caught Ling Yunshu off guard, leaving her stunned and unable to react, and she just froze.
Standing in front of Ling Yunshu, Ling Chuxia’s hand stiffened mid-air, her body trembling, tears streaming uncontrollably. The slap on Ling Yunshu’s face felt as though it had landed harshly on her own.
She could never have imagined that the person she loved the most would hurt her like this.
She was her own elder sister! How could she send such a heartless message, utter such cruel words, and plot against her child with such calculation?
That child was her own nephew too!
It took a long while for Ling Yunshu to come back to her senses from the shock. She instinctively covered her cheek, her eyes flashing with astonishment, horror, fear, but not a hint of guilt. Even when she finally spoke, her first words were, "You never had any tape, did you? You lied to me?"
Ling Chuxia wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t muster it. Thinking about the pain of losing her child and the unbearable time in the hospital, she looked at her elder sister, whom she had always trusted, feeling as if a knife had split open her heart, the pain was unbearable.
It seemed to Ling Yunshu that Ling Chuxia’s expression confirmed her suspicion... She had indeed lied to her... She had been fooled into a confession...
Ling Yunshu’s heart fluttered intensely, her pupils constricted sharply, a wave of panic overwhelming her, as if a giant hand was tightly clutching her throat.
"Xiaxia, I..." She hurried to say something, her mouth opening and closing, but in that moment, she couldn’t find any excuse to defend herself.
But she knew she had to say something. Her hand clumsily reached for Ling Chuxia’s, her voice thick with sobs, "Xiaxia, I’m so sorry, I truly didn’t mean it, I was just scared of losing Shi Che."
"Didn’t mean it?"
Ling Chuxia stared at her steadily, her tears nearly spent. She repeated Ling Yunshu’s words word for word, her lips curling into a cold sneer, "Elder sister, you know, from the moment we were children I never wanted to compete with you. The only thing I wanted was my child, but you... how could you pretend to be kind while stabbing me in the back?"
Whoever hurt her, she could disregard, but this person was her own elder sister, her sister by the same mother!
As Ling Chuxia spoke, she once again forcefully shook off Ling Yunshu’s hand. Taking a deep breath, she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye with resolve, looking at Ling Yunshu and stating emphatically, "Elder sister, I call you sister for the last time. I thank you for your past love and care, but over these years, I have repaid all of it. From today onward, you are you, and I am I; we no longer have any relation!"
With those words, Ling Chuxia resolutely turned around and stepped away to leave.
