Chapter 787 She Will Come
"Xin, matters of the heart... cannot be forced. You’re excellent, there’s no doubt about that, but that doesn’t mean he should fall in love with you... Besides, Mu Yiliang isn’t as bad as you say." Lan Yueru sighed and continued, "Xin, I know it’s painful to let go of someone, but..."
She showed a trace of complex emotions in her eyes, paused, and then said, "But for someone destined not to belong to you, excessive obsession will only hurt yourself and others. Xin, listen to Aunt Lan’s advice, let yourself go. You deserve your own wonderful life, so why let yourself fall into such a miserable state?"
A flicker of flame seemed to ignite in Xin’s eyes!
She spoke softly, "Aunt Lan, do you also find what I’m doing pitiful?"
Lan Yueru shook her head, "I know you’re just unwilling to accept it; this is human nature, but no matter how unwilling, you must eventually recognize reality. Persistently challenging others and yourself serves no purpose."
Xin remained silent for a long time.
She closed the lunchbox and whispered, "Aunt Lan, could you do me a favor?"
Lan Yueru perked up, "Go on, I’ll try my best to help you."
"Could you ask Mu Yiliang to come over? I have something to say to her." Xin spoke calmly, "Once I clarify things with her, I can finally give up."
Lan Yueru hesitated slightly.
"You just need to convey a message for me; whether she comes is up to her." Xin smiled, "But, I believe she’ll come."
Lan Yueru thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright. I can manage that, but Si Jue might find out about this..."
Xin smiled enigmatically, "It’s okay, Mu Yiliang will do her best not to let him know."
Lan Yueru didn’t understand the riddle she was playing, but after all, this was a matter between them. So she didn’t probe any further.
She stood up, "Okay, I’ll go find her now. At this time, she should be in her room."
...
Mu Yiliang was indeed alone in her room.
After Yan Sijue left, she cried for a long time before stopping, wiped the water stains from her sketchbook, and took out her brushes to begin a new painting.
Her drawing skills were quite average, and painting was merely a way for her to release emotions.
This method had always been effective, and after a short while, her mood gradually calmed down. In any case, the good news was that Yan Sijue’s illness was now cured, so the problems that once hindered them no longer existed, right?
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, not loud enough to be Yan Sijue, nor Xiaoze.
After a brief thought, she knew who it would be.
She stood up, walked over to open the door, and sure enough, saw Lan Yueru standing outside.
"Aunt Lan?"
"Yiliang, there’s something..." Lan Yueru seemed a bit hesitant, paused, and then said, "I just went to the basement to see Xin. She said she wants to meet with you... If you don’t want to, it’s alright."
Mu Yiliang was momentarily stunned.
"I... I’m just passing the message." Lan Yueru said with some awkwardness.
"I understand, Aunt Lan." Mu Yiliang smiled gently, "You should go and rest."
"Oh, alright." Lan Yueru nodded and couldn’t help but add, "Are you going to meet her? Whatever she might say, don’t take it to heart."
Mu Yiliang smiled and shook her head.
That day, when Xin was brought before the dining table, Mu Yiliang was well aware of the probing gaze directed at her.
