In the Huo family’s mansion.
Xinya refused to eat any as she was lying on her bed and pouting.
Qu Zhirong coaxed,”you haven’t had anything all the day. Have something now!”
Xinya frowned and stayed still in the bed.
“Xin’er, come on, eat some!”Qu Zhirong coaxed again.
Xinya pushed back her quilt and stood up,”I don’t wanna eat. I’m full!”
Then, she looked at the television.
Qu Zhirong knew that Xinya was in a sulk.
“Well, though you’re angry, you have to eat food. It’s you who are gonna suffer, not others. If you don’t eat food. Now, have some!”Qu Zhirong advised and pushed the food forward.
Xinya heard her words but frowned and thought for a while.
“Have some food now.”Qu Zhirong pushed food forward again when she felt that Xinya was a little moved.
Xinya pouted and was ready to hold the bowl of rice in the hand of Qu Zhirong. But she stunned suddenly and shocked at the same time.
“God! Is it… it…”
Qu Zhirong saw Xinya so dismayed that she could not help but follow the eyes of Xinya to see the television.
The TV was reporting a news about a corpse.
“That’s, that’s Mary Yun!”Xinya covered mouth immediately,”how, how could she die!”
Qu Zhirong looked at the TV and seemed nothing happened.
Hurriedly, Xinya grabbed the arms of Qu Zhirong,”Aunt, is it… brother Tingchen… he let people…”
“Shut up!”Qu Zhirong yelled coldly,”Bullshit. She died. She was killed by the enemy!”
Xinya shrank her neck and dared not to speak.
“Mary Yun was so useless. What a waste of money!”Qu Zhirong frowned,”She said she was going to kill Linda Yun. But see what she did! She’s dead for her foolishness!”
“Aunt, is brother Tingchen would suspect us?”
“Why? We didn’t harm his wife!”Qu Zhirong looked unhappily.
“Well, aunt… shall we go to her funeral? After all, she was brought out of mental hospital by us…”Xinya was kind of afraid.
Qu Zhirong looked at her,”Funeral? Do you think we are not suspicious enough?”Then she sneered,”These evils we bring to ourselves are the hardest to bear. She caused it all by herself!”
Xinya did not speak anymore, nor did she know what to say.
“Xinya, hear me, too much kindness will only make you far away from success,”with staring at Xinya, she added,”necessary viciousness can last longer!”
Xinya frowned with somewhat bewildered.
Feeling the innocence of Xinya, Qu Zhirong could not help saying,”well, you eat first. Do not care about the matter!”Then she handed Xinya the meal again.
Xinya took the meal and ate it silently.
Qu Zhirong looked at Xinya’s neck. The red mark was so obvious that she could not help frowning,”That woman was really vicious. She pinched your neck so hard!”
Xinya stunned and looked up at Qu Zhirong unhappily,”She was cruel, not vicious. Her eyes were so terrible as if she wanna kill me at any time…”Later on, she sobbed,”Am I going to be killed by her? God! I’m scared!”
Qu Zhirong grabbed her hand to comfort Xinya immediately,”it’s nonsense. I’m here. And your uncle assured you that no one would hurt you, OK?”
Xinya looked at her and whispered with red eyes,”I already have no relatives. If aunt doesn’t wanna stay with me… what should I do? Jesus! Brother Tingchen doesn’t like me, and he wants to drive me away…”
“Bullshit!”Qu Zhirong frowned,”Dare he drive you away when I’m here!”
Then, she sighed,”Xin’er, otherwise, you give up Ah Chen!”
Xinya looked at Qu Zhirong in dismay, and asked in a trembling voice,”Aunt, you, you let me give up brother Tingchen?”
Qu Zhirong looked at her and sighed lightly,”For the past three years, we have made a lot of efforts. But you knew the feeling of Ah Chen. Xin’er, you are young, and your youth is waiting for you. In this life, though you can not be my daughter-in-law, you can still be my daughter. From then on, you’re my foster daughter. OK?”
Qu Zhirong thought all over the last night.
Maybe it’s time that she should stop persisting.
What she wanted was simple. She just hoped that Xinya could live a happy life.
But if her persistence not only did not help Xinya, but hurt her son, she wanna give it up though she didn’t like David Huo.
That day, the look of Tingchen and the despair of her daughter in the hospital deeply moved her.
“No. I don’t wanna be your foster daughter. I wanna marry brother Tingchen. You promised me!”Xinya suddenly hit the food on the ground, and the whole person lost control to shout.
Qu Zhirong patiently soothed,”Didn’t you tell me last time that if Ah Chen didn’t accept you all the time, you would give up. Xin’er, now give up, and go abroad for further study. I’ll go with you. OK?”
“No!”Xinya quickly refused,”You don’t know that she wanna kill me. Though I give up now, can I be safe? It’s impossible!”
“Relax, Xin’er. Calm down!”
“No no no. All of you don’t wanna me. My mom, my dad, brother Tingchen, now, aunt, you don’t wanna me, God…”Then, Xinya quickly lying down, covered herself with a quilt and cried heavily.
Qu Zhirong was distressed and helpless,”Xin’er, it’s nonsense. I love you the most forever. As for you and Ah Chen…”
At the time, Qu Zhirong didn’t know how to soothe Xinya.
But she knew that forced love does not last.
Xinya was out of control,”Get out. You get out. I don’t wanna talk to you. Don’t!”
Feeling the hysteria of Xinya, Qu Zhirong had to say,”All right. I’m out. You calm down first. I’ll see you later.”
Then she stood up and left with the door gently closed.
After several-minute sobbing of grief, Xinya calmed down.
Slowly, she lifted the quilt to stand up.
Walking to the dressing table and sitting down before the mirror, she looked so pitiful with her inflamed and innocent eyes.
Without saying, she picked up the limited edition air cushion on the counter and began to pounce on her face.
It seemed that she wanted to hide the tears on face.
For a moment, she stared at the perfect face in the mirror and smiled,”What a pure face!”
“Ding–.”The phone rang.
She picked it up and looked at the gossip.
The content was to speculate the procedure of a famous woman why died in the wilderness.
She clicked on and glanced at it.
Eventually, she stopped on the last mosaic picture and laughed,”It’s really worth to have the face-lift. With this face, I can be saved.”
Then, she smiled quietly and stared at the picture beside the dressing table. She, stretching out finger, pointing the person in the picture, smiled,”Xinya, you’ll not die in vain. I’ll revenge for you.”
After that, she laughed sarcastically and opened her private mailbox.
There’s a video and she played it.
The video was the one that night when Mary Yun and George Mo were sleeping together.
“How beautiful a live French postcard. It’s a pity that I can only enjoy it by myself…”
She touched her phone with wired smile,”Soon, everyone in Austral City will enjoy it, just as me!”
Then, she looked at herself in the mirror again.
Touching the face, she laughed wildly and thrilled,”Is everyone expecting me to die? Oh, but I’m destined to live. Qu Zhirong, Michael Huo, Linda Yun. And Jennifer Huo, you betrayed me. All of you will pay the price for it. The game starts. It’s not easy to let me die!”
—
Three days later.
All of people enjoyed themselves in theses three days.
However, Michael Huo was busy for the matter in the company, so did Paul Mu.
So they just stayed for three days and hurried back.
“Sister, can, can I stay with George for more than two days?”Jennifer Huo asked Linda Yun with hesitation in the car.
During these three days, Jennifer Huo almost stayed with George beside sleep for she felt sorry for George, or something else.
Anyway, she couldn’t leave George.
With the question, Linda Yun looked at Fei complicatedly, and at George who had slept over in her hands,”Fei, I’m sorry. If you miss him, come to see. For these years, George slept with me. If he’s not here, I can’t sleep well.”
Then, Linda Yun looked down.
She knew that she was selfish.
But she couldn’t let Fei take George away.
She had restrained herself from disturbing them during these three days.
But…
She was not feeling good.
What’s more, the words of George Mo rang in her ears all the time.
If, if Fei really wanted to take George away, what should she do?
She had no idea about it, nor did she dare to imagine it…
So Linda Yun could not help holding George more tighter than before.
On seeing the action of Linda Yun, Fei didn’t ask once again.
As a matter of fact, she had recognized the worries and thoughts in Linda Yun.
Because if it were her, she would not agree neither.
She abandoned George when he was a child.
Now George grew up and became sensible and clever. She’s going to stay with him.
It’s impossible. Just like a dog in the manager.
No one could accept it!
But she really loved George…
For…
For George was the son of Richard Qu and her!
These three days, George and her lived a happy life.
Her relied on her.
He liked her.
He smiled at her.
She knew that it was the kinship.
And now, her sister wanted to take him away.
Took… away…
Took her son away!
Did not allowed her to stay with her son…
Subconsciously, she clenched fists, and for the first time she was bearing the idea of getting her son back!
