Chapter 51: Hong Xiaobei’s story (Part 3) (2/2)

Their meetup was very touching. They both took turns telling each other their stories and life experiences. But the one who was deeply moved was Xu Weishan. After hearing Hong Xiaobei’s story, she felt very sorry for her little sister.

“Sister, can I borrow 100k from you? Currently, I have no more money to pay the creditors. I….” Hong Xiaobei really hated how she had to beg, especially since this was the first time they met up. It should be a touching moment, yet she was awkwardly asking for money.

“There’s no need to say anything else. I can help you pay your debts.” Xu Weishan grasped Hong Xiaobei’s hand to give her strength. “You’ve suffered so much all these years. Now that we have reunited, you can share all your sadness and stresses with me.”

This was the first time Hong Xiaobei experienced family warmth ever since her foster parents had passed away. She was thankful God had not abandon her and allowed her to meet such a kindhearted sister.

As for Xu Weishan, she decided to keep Hong Xiaobei’s existence a secret. She never brought up the adoption topic to her parents. She wasn’t an idiot, and knew what was best for both parties.

Eventually, while they were together, Hong Xiaobei found out from Xu Weishan that she was currently dating Kevin. They haven’t been together for long, only two months.

Hong Xiaobei sighed and silently calculated. It was probably around the time when she had put down her pride and contacted Xu Weishan.

After a season has passed and their relationship had stabilized, Xu Weishan finally decided she wanted Hong Xiaobei to meet Kevin. Although she hid it from her parents, she didn’t want to hide it from Kevin.

But thinking of their past, Hong Xiaobei was worried that Xu Weishan would be hurt from it. So Hong Xiaobei firmly rejected Xu Weishan’s request to meet Kevin.

Throughout the past year, thanks to the money that Xu Weishan had given her, she was able to clear all her family’s debts. Perhaps the money wasn’t a big deal to Xu Weishan, but to Hong Xiaobei, it saved her life. Xu Weishan was the one who had rescued her from the edge of Hell. So how could she appear in front of Kevin?

It wasn’t that she thought highly of herself, but just in case. In case Kevin’s mouth slips…..in case he wavers….

Surprisingly, Xu Weishan didn’t tell her in advance and invited her to the coffee shop. It had been a year, and once again, Hong Xiaobei saw the person sitting by the window.

From time to time, she would think of him…

Hong Xiaobei quickly left. The next day, she personally contacted Kevin. Their meeting was not warm or sweet. They didn’t even say hi.

Hong Xiaobei instantly declared her position and concerns. “Let’s pretend we don’t know each other. I don’t think we should ever see each other regardless of how strongly my sister push for it. If we meet, it’ll be bad for everyone.”

Kevin massaged the side of his head. Hong Xiaobei’s words had triggered a headache. He bitterly responded, “After a year, you purposely contacted me only to say this?”

“Yes, I’m afraid that we might accidentally meet one day. So I wanted to discuss with you first.”

“I’m not as stupid as you think I am!”

“Oh really? I forgot….well, I’m going to go now.”

“Wait!” Kevin held onto Hong Xiaobei, “Are you cutting all ties with me now?”

“You should cut all ties with me. I don’t want my sister to misunderstand us. After all, you two are together now.”

“Misunderstand? What is there to misunderstand? Since you guys have reunited, I can also bravely tell you the truth. I like you. Clearly, I liked you first. I’m only with her because you never gave me a reply and kept ignoring me. What? Now, I am going to tell her that for the past year, you were her replacement!” Kevin hollered.

Hong Xiaobei didn’t know why Kevin had became so enraged all of a sudden. But hearing his shameful words truly worried her. “Shut up! I’m going to pretend I never heard what you said. Don’t ever say something so ridiculous again!”

“You still kept my number. Doesn’t that show something? If you really didn’t want to remain in touch with me, then why didn’t you delete it?” Kevin angrily retorted.

Kevin had actually inserted his number into Hong Xiaobei’s phone without her knowledge. Hong Xiaobei realized it after she got home last year when she noticed his number in her contact list.

Originally, she was going to delete it. But ultimately, she never ended up pressing the delete button.

“Hong Xiaobei, I’m not afraid to tell you. Yet, you’re afraid to admit it. I give you my true heart yet you refuse to see it. I’ve had enough. For the past year, the whole time I've been with Xu Weishan, she had always been your shadow…”

Hong Xiaobei’s appearance was like an explosive device. Without warning, all of Kevin’s hidden thoughts erupted.

“Please, I’m begging you not to say these things. And please, I’m requesting you to treat my sister well.” It sounded like a pleading and warning at same time.

After this, Hong Xiaobei left. Kevin didn’t stop her. As Kevin gazed at Hong Xiaobei’s back view, he felt very depressed.

They both thought it was their last time meeting, but unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by Xu Weishan. She had been following Kevin.
