Chapter 27 - You Can Never Be Me (1/2)
After eating, Chen Mu drove her close to the West dock so that she wouldn't have to walk too far to get to where they're meeting. With red alerts all over his mind, Chen Mu pretended to drive off, but remained a close distance to make sure Susu was safe.
When Karen saw Susu arrive, she sent a text to Tian Yuo, knowing that he was in his office. Estimating from his office to the dock would take around twenty minutes, there was more than enough time for her to do what she wanted to do. 'This would give me enough time. Heh.'
Karen lured Susu closer to the waters to prove that what she was about to disclose were all true. When they were around ten years old, Karen drowned in front of everyone. Since then, everyone thought that she was scared of water. Nobody would have thought that a ten-year-old child would pretend to drown to avoid having to take swimming lessons. In fact, she was secretly, a great swimmer.
Till today, Susu also has the same impression of her being afraid of large bodies of water. When they reached near the end of the dock, Karen started initiating the conversation.
”Sis, it's been a while. The last time I saw you, we were in our house when dad fought for your wedding. How is married life treating you? Good?” The mockery in her voice was evident. She was obviously pinpointing where it hurts the most.
”Forget about the rest of the crap that you have to say. Just show me the pictures that you said you had and get straight to the point. What happened that night?” Susu asked without beating around the bushes.
”Aiyo, what's the rush? Would pacing up the speed help your lost chastity revive? Yin Susu, I hated you from the bottom of my heart. Did you know that?”
”Why?”
”Because of you, my mother could only be the second wife, and I will always be the child of daddy's second wife. I'm the second child whom should've never been conceived. How great would it be for you to have died right at birth? Or a mishap?”
Susu smirked, ”So you've hated me illogically since young? Whose fault is it that you got conceived? Go home and cry to your dear wicked mother for why she climbed onto my father's bed and took advantage of him when he was drunk and grieving for my dead mother!”
”Did you know that while growing up, our relatives loved comparing us? From our looks to our academics and how bright our futures looked. Whenever I hear the needle piercing comments, I would have the urge to sew their lips together one by one to make a quilt. Not only were they always complimenting you over me, even when you wore the plainest outfits, you were the spotlight!”
”Okay, so you were envious of the attention I received from other strangers and you were jealous that I came from my mother's w.o.m.b. Alright, this makes so much sense. Cool story bro, continue.” Susu rolled her eyes at her ridiculous words.
