Chapter 700: Chapter 699 I Only Have You Now (1)
"Starting today, you are you, and I am me, and we will have no relationship whatsoever?"
Ling Yunshu had never expected that one day, Ling Chuxia would say such words to her. From childhood, Ling Chuxia had always been her little sidekick, her shadow. Even though they looked exactly the same, it was always her who captured everyone’s attention; it was always she who earned everyone’s admiration. She enjoyed having her around because she always highlighted her own grace.
In her heart, this sister was supposed to follow her for their entire lives. A lifetime as her little sidekick, her shadow!
But now, she wanted to break away from her? She wanted to sever ties with her completely? What right did she have? What right did Ling Chuxia have?
Without Ling Yunshu, could Ling Chuxia have her life today? If it hadn’t been for her bringing her to the Shi Family, wouldn’t she still be that lowly, despicable person in the orphanage, unable to become a wealthy young lady in the Shi Family, let alone marry Shi Che?
Ling Yunshu’s hands suddenly clenched tightly, extreme resentment filling her dark pupils as she glared fiercely at Ling Chuxia, "Ling Chuxia, you stop right there!"
Ling Chuxia’s footsteps paused slightly, but she did not turn around.
Ling Yunshu quickly stepped forward, grabbing Ling Chuxia with such force it seemed she wanted to tear her arm off. Her eyes were bloodshot, and for the first time, her gentle face took on a ferocious expression, "Ling Chuxia, repeat what you just said. What do you mean by being even with me? Don’t you forget, who was it that brought you to the Shi Family, who pleaded for you time after time when you caused trouble, and who has always cherished and protected you as you grew up?"
She clutched Ling Chuxia’s clothes tightly, her voice growing louder, "It was me! It was I, your elder sister, who brought you to the Shi Family, pleaded for you, and protected you as you grew up. And now you want to deny our relationship with just a few words?"
"Elder sister?"
Just now, she couldn’t manage to laugh, but now Ling Chuxia suddenly burst out laughing, a laugh filled with sadness and pain, "Yes, Ling Yunshu, you are my elder sister. From childhood, you’ve always loved and protected me, so, no matter what you do, I can forgive you, I can understand your difficulties, even... even though I knew you’ve always lied to me, hiding Shi Che’s confessions to me, I could overlook it, but..."
Her voice paused, her tear-filled eyes gradually turning icy and sharp, "My child was innocent. You killed my child for your own selfish reasons. Can you still claim to be my sister now?"
"Even if you can face it, I can’t recognize you. I fear my child would resent me!"
With these words, she nearly gritted her teeth, each word fiercely squeezed out from between them. At the same time, she violently shook off Ling Yunshu’s hand, not hesitating for a second, and strode away.
Ling Chuxia’s shake was forceful. Ling Yunshu was flung backwards, stumbling into a waiter carrying a tray. The tray held the two cups of hot milk she had just ordered, and it all spilled over her, the scalding milk pouring onto her chest. Pain engulfed her, and Ling Yunshu couldn’t help but let out a piercing scream before heavily falling to the ground.
Ling Chuxia heard the painful scream behind her, but her footsteps did not halt for even a fraction of a second.
