Chapter 1012 - 814: Brilliant Sparks, Only Deep Love Cannot Be Betrayed [66]_2
Unexpectedly, Chen Yiyue looked at the gentle yellow desk lamp and softly began to speak, quickly drifting into a monologue of love that belonged only to the memories of her era:"I fell in love with a man from the Feng Family whom I shouldn’t have loved, and my ending was tragic. In our era... having a child out of wedlock was not allowed... and I was the one who was eliminated and abandoned..."
As Qiu Zhixuan’s heart beat softly, Chen Yiyue’s words grew gentler and deeper...
"I was born in the early ’70s. In 1984, I was 14 when I first met him, who was 18. He was tall and handsome, very good-looking. Perhaps 14 and 18 might seem too early for love to your generation, but in ours, it didn’t seem that early at all; many people were married with children before 20. At that time, I hummed a Suzhou melody my mother taught me, accidentally passing by him. That glance, we immediately fell in love at first sight."
"But during the process of falling in love, we never crossed that taboo, seeming as if he also thought I was too young and patiently waited for me to grow up. Sixteen, eighteen, twenty, he accompanied me through my most youthful and beautiful years until I turned 21, and he couldn’t wait any longer; he made our relationship clear to both families, wanting to marry me."
"Coming so far, you might also think he was very affectionate to wait for me for so long, right? Unfortunately, no. In our time, chastity was very important, and nothing could happen before marriage. Once the relationship was made clear, our family was really too weak. In those days, facing the towering threshold of the Feng Family, we truly couldn’t break in at all. The Feng Family didn’t agree, so we planned to continue enduring and waiting, even thinking about enduring until the Feng Family finally acknowledged our relationship. But sadly, some vows were broken just three years later..."
"Three years later, he was twenty-eight, I was twenty-four, having endured a ten-year relationship, I was really adamant about marrying him. At twenty-four, I was considered an old maid within our circle. If I couldn’t marry him, I had no other choice. Unfortunately, all the nightmares began that year..."
Taking a sip from the coffee cup, tasting the bitterness within, Chen Yiyue’s eyes almost reddened, "Finally, the female side of their family had nodded in agreement, but suddenly the male side arranged a blind date for him, I once thought he loved me for who I was, but later realized he didn’t. With a better, more beautiful choice, he could completely abandon me..."
Clenching her fist, she struggled to speak: "They dated, frequently dated, cheated multiple times. I caught them countless times, but every time he just told me to trust him. I really didn’t know how to trust anymore, especially over a fortnight ago when he got drunk. Whether he was drugged or not, he was severely mentally disturbed and accidentally had a relationship with me that night. He should have known that when he woke up, seeing himself naked, and the evidence on the bed were all proof. But just two weeks later, when I was about to confront him with the pregnancy test, he suddenly told me he’d slept with that woman, his family was forcing him to take responsibility, he couldn’t tolerate taking a woman’s virginity and not be responsible. He said he was sorry to me and would introduce me to a good man, treating me like a sister from now on..."
Tears flowed down, and Qiu Zhixuan empathized with the heartache, tearing her apart as well.
What kind of despairing emotions could make someone listen to a ten-year lover say, "I will treat you like a sister..."
Wouldn’t that feel worse than being killed? Not to mention, at that time Chen Yiyue not only lost herself, but was also pregnant with his child!
"Didn’t you think there might be some misunderstanding in between that led to this situation?" Qiu Zhixuan asked urgently.
Chen Yiyue forced a bitter smile and said, "How could I not have fantasized? But precisely because of the pain afterwards, the unwillingness, the disbelief, chasing the truth only led to more humiliating answers; they quickly got engaged, and the wedding date spread throughout the circle. When I visited them again, waiting for me was a slap in the face. It was the first time I was hit; growing up, even though my family wasn’t wealthy and just moderately well-off, I was always loved and cherished by my parents and family. But that time, I was not only hit but also nailed to the pillar of shame forever. That woman called me the other woman. Zhixuan... I don’t know if you can imagine that kind of heartache."
"You lose your lover of ten years, all your youth, fantasies, body, reputation are about to be lost, but they are already officially engaged, they even got their marriage certificate early, and you get dragged into the bedroom by the woman, personally seeing him sleeping naked. You don’t want to admit it, but at that moment, you know that continuing will make you the other woman..."
The tears fell into the coffee cup. Even though Chen Yiyue was nearly fifty years old, at that moment, with her clear eyes streaming with tears, she was really just an ordinary woman who loved but couldn’t attain, no different from a woman at fifteen, twenty-five, or even thirty-five.
Such a heart-wrenching pain made her a woman that all men and women alike would want to protect for a lifetime, unwilling to let her endure another ounce of hurt!
Heartbroken, Qiu Zhixuan held her cup tightly, no longer paying heed to how Chen Yiyue later secretly aborted the child, and eventually moved her entire family away, unwilling to hear news of him again over the years.
Her mind was only connecting waves of shock rapidly.
After hearing so much, she was certain the person Chen Yiyue was talking about was Brother Feng! And Chen Yiyue was actually Su Xin, Miss Su! As for why she changed her name, others might not understand, but she once faced the exact same situation with Feng Chengjin, wanting to escape, using this method, and completely understood.
But through this whole process, something was definitely wrong! Absolutely wrong!
The version she heard from Cheng Jin, she remembered Cheng Jin clearly explaining that Brother Feng never touched Miss Su, except accidentally touching the sister-in-law, so he had to take responsibility, enduring the pain to do so.
It was a quagmire of despair Brother Feng could never escape, painfully remorseful yet guilt-stricken towards the sister-in-law.
But listening to Su Xin’s version...
Amidst the lights, Qiu Zhixuan felt something was absolutely misplaced and wrong.
Suddenly, when a thought shot into her mind, she raised her eyes coldly, seeming to understand something...
Unless, from the beginning, this was all a manipulation!
The sister-in-law’s marriage wasn’t obtained in a proper way but stolen!
