Chapter 804 - He Lay on the Ground and Bawled (1/2)
Blood ran down her face.
She panicked, like someone who had done something wrong.
“Answer my question,” Yi Jingxi yelled. She rushed over and dragged her up from the ground.
Tears burst out of his eyes as he said, “Have you been lying to me all this time?”
“I’m sorry, Jingxi,” Chu Lei finally raised her head. She helplessly held his hands, organizing her words with difficulty. She started crying when the first word escaped her lips.
“Your father died. I was afraid that I might lose that, that you might hate me. So I lied to you.”
Chu Lei’s eyes showed panic, guilt and fear, “That’s a lie. Back then, I only wanted to make up a small lie. I didn’t know that you’d care so much about your father’s death, that you’d keep it in your mind, and that you’d try everything you could to get revenge on Xu Zhengxuan. I’ve talked to you. I tried to persuade you to give up, but you wouldn’t listen to me. I have been so scared all these years. I didn’t dare to see you. I lived in the nursing house alone. I was trying to atone for my crime. Jingxi, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”
“So, Xu Zhengxuan never touched you,” Yi Jingxi shook off her hands. He trembled, as if he had lost control of his own body. “That’s only a small lie to you, but to me…”
He slapped his own chest, feeling waves of despair that drove him to the verge of collapsing. “You have destroyed me. My entire life is ruined by this so-called small lie of yours.”
He yelled.
He made a step backward, then kneeled on the ground.
He had spent his entire life seeking revenge.
He framed Xu Zhengxuan, and got close to Luosang.
She liked him, and he made use of that.
He got close to her step by step, and also fell in love with her step by step. But still, he sent Xu Zhengxuan to prison, for the sake of revenge.
They got engaged, and he buried the happiness he was holding in his hands.
G.o.d knew how hard his heart ached when he had to hurt her. It was like piercing a knife into his own body.
He hurt her, and also hurt himself.
Once and once again, he hurt Luosang with lowly actions.
He forced away the girl he loved over and over again.
He sent her to another man.
They fell in love, and they had a child.
He lay on the ground and bawled.
He lost the person that he loved the most. He was crippled with despair.
