Chapter 1330 Although guilty, there was no hint of regret.
Six years back, Oriental Spark had sent Li Xue to a village with an NGO team. It was kind of a promotional program where she had to participate actively.After completing her job there, Li Xue warmly congratulated everyone on completion before coming back alone. But little did she expect that on her way back home, she would meet with an accident. Things happened so fast there that she didn't get any time to register things. She lost consciousness and opened her eyes twice.
Once in unconsciousness and the other time when she regained her consciousness. And only now that she has heard the lady repeating the incident from six years back did she realize that she remembers her from her unconscious memory.
When she was unconscious and was on the operation bed, she had opened her eyes once and she was there at that time, standing behind the doctor. Monitoring the overall process while giving her the courage to hold on to the situation.
But later when she woke up the next afternoon, not just the lady wasn't there But even the doctor refused to accept doing anything to her. They had simply told her that after she was rescued from the accident, she had been unconscious the whole night.
Although later she has understood what has happened to her, still her memories never revealed back the face of the woman she held at the back of her mind. Later to prove herself innocent of the scandal, she even went back to search for the doctor who attended her in the clinic. But it was of no avail because she was informed that they were all transferred somewhere else.
People say when all doors are closed in your life and you have nowhere to go, angels come to open a window for you. But at that time, she felt no such thing happening. Around her, there was only darkness of people's criticism and hatred and she seemed to have no ray of hope of recovering from it. Even if she tried, she would not be able to explain what suffocation she felt.
When Li Xue got reminded of her dark past, she couldn't help but chuckle with self-mockery. But then raising her eyes at the woman in front of her, she turned her gaze sharply to say, "By saving my life once, did you think you have gotten right to use my life at your disposal?"
"Li Xue, I …"
"Did you know your one decision ruined everything? One night snatched away everything that I achieved with my hard work."
"Li Xue, hear me out first …" Yun Yuchun knew she was aggrieved and needed someone to console her. Her eyes darted to look at his son but his eyes were clearly told that he was finding himself nowhere capable of doing it.
Li Xue laughed out loud. Not hearing the woman, she spoke again showing all the resentment she held in her heart. "It might have been easy for you, but for me, it wasn't. After all, I never was interested in playing games with my husband's ex-wife."
She said and Yun Yuchun closed her eyes, feeling unsettled inside. To some extent, she knew that she was at fault as well. But she also knew she had no other choice. If stood in the same situation again, she would still choose the same. Because she could simply never let Zhen Qinrou succeed in her aim.
Not because she was selfish. But because she knew that if not stopped, Zhen Qinrou would have ways to bring extreme destruction.
"That night when I rescued you from the accident spot and brought you to the hospital. I have no plans of using you. But when I saw FenFen lying on the bed unconscious, I had no other choice but to think quickly. Using you was my necessity. I know what I did to you was wrong still as I have told you before, I would never regret doing it. You were the perfect girl I could choose for my son."
Yun Yuchun spoke as she slowly opened her eyes to stare back at Li Xue. Her eyes held the tears of guilt but as she has said earlier, Li Xue really couldn't spot even a hint of regret in them.
Seeing her like that, Li Xue didn't know how to react. For some reason, she wanted to berate herself. Can't she be a little selfish and become adamant about not understanding the woman's situation?
She wanted to act stubborn and push all their reasons away from her understanding. But being a mother herself, she could simply not bring herself to do that. The feeling was suffocating her heart but she was simply not able to find a way to ease it down.
Suddenly her breathing turned heavy and she had no other way but to run away. At this moment, only one person was capable of soothing her. She turned to look at Feng Shufen. During the entire time, it was the first time she has turned to look at him. And his expressions told that he was feeling guilty.
Not able to take that face of his for long, she shook her head to herself. Then removing her hands from the grasp of the woman, she took a step behind before at once rushing out of the house.
Yun Yuchun lunged to hold her but before she could, she was already off. She wanted to run after her to explain her things more properly, but before she could even take a step forward, a cold voice paused the air.
"Enough!" Feng Shufen roared before casting a really cold gaze at his mother. "She needs some time alone. Let her have it. Will you?"
Yun Yuchun stared at his son. She didn't see him grow up. But she was well aware of his nature and attitude. All these years she has dreamt of meeting him. But she never expected that when the day would come, it would end this way.
But she knew other than her, no one was at fault. She over-expected something and it was her wrong. After all, why did she never think to go against her plans and come to meet her children a little before?
"Are you not going to look for her?" She asked softly. But the softness in her voice was of no use because the next moment, she was brutally ignored.
Feng Shufen turned to look at Qi Shuai next and the latter understood what he was asking for. At once nodding, he texted a small text on his phone and the next several footsteps were heard approaching.
Before anyone could even understand what was happening, men dressed in dark formals came marching in before heading straight to Zheng Qinrou. The woman was terrified. Not just her spine stiffened with the presence of so many ferocious men but also beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Whispers rose among the relatives while Feng Yu Hao was about to ask his son what he was planning to do. But before he could even ask, a sharp welp left Qinrou's lips, making every head turn her way at once.
She was there no longer standing on her feet, rather was kneeling on her knees. Her expression was ugly. "Shufen, are you crazy? I am a grown woman. What's the meaning of all this?" She asked as the next moment again another welp escaped her lips. The harsher the batons were hitting her skin, the coarser welp was coming out silencing every other thing in the room.
Yun Yuchun was also taken aback. She turned to look at her with a frown but Feng Shufen wasn't even sparing a glance at her.
"Shufen, stop it! Don't you know who I am? I am still your dad's wife." Zhen Qinrou yelled. But her yells were paid no heed to. "Yu Hao, tell him something. Ask them to stop. Ah …" She urged her husband but once again there was no reciprocation. Instead for once, it felt like her voice was simply not reaching the ears of anyone.
At that time her eyes caught the gaze of Feng Yi Lan looking at her pitifully. Tearing up for her, she cried, "Ah! Yi Lan, they are insulting your mother like this. Won't you say anything? Help me. You are also a daughter of this family. If you say something, none would have the power to take it easy. Come on, dear Save me. I am still your mother."
"Why are you my mother? I never needed a mother like you." Feng Yi Lan was disgusted. She was never proud of her mother and today it became worse. She could simply not bring herself to believe whatever she heard her mother speaking.
"Yi Lan!"
"You deserve it, mother. Since you sowed it, now reap it. Feng Yi Lan said before turning to look at her brother to say, "Brother, Li Xue is alone. It's not good to leave her like that. I will go and check on her." She said and then without paying any attention to the woman wailing in pain, she walked out with nonchalance as if she could simply not hear any cries of pain.
Feng Yi Lan knew what she did was heartless. But her mother was more heartless than her. Since she deserved this, there was no way she was going to prevent her. Fisting her fingers, she walked out of the house, before getting to the garden to look for Li Xue. But she wasn't there. She looked and walked around in search of her. Her friend needed her at the moment and there was no way she was going to leave her alone.
