Chapter 240 - Brutal Sensei (2/2)

"It's very easy for you actually. All you have to do is," she told the whole plan to Ru and went on, "it should happen by tomorrow morning. It can't be difficult for my sensei, right?"

"Send me the name and details. It'll be done by the morning." Ru was about to hang up but Xu Mey spoke again.

"Sensei, don't you like me anymore?" Xu Mey asked in a sad voice. "I mean you didn't even call me since the last time at the hospital. Are you mad that I didn't take the dagger from your hand? But I had my reaso-" Before Xu Mey could continue Ru interrupted her.

"This lord really doesn't care about the fact that you didn't take that dagger. What matters is that you got your revenge in your way. Congratulations on that." Although there was nothing wrong with Ru's voice, Xu Mey felt like those words were odd.

"Sensei, do you think that I did something wrong?" Xu Mey asked softly.

"Are you happy with what you did?" Ru asked in return.

"Yes. I'm more than just happy. I finally dropped that Xu Liqing down along with Fu Lan." Xu Mey was smiling triumphantly.

"Then you really don't need my approval for your actions. Not mine or anyone else'. Because they haven't lived your life and they can never understand your reasons for doing what you did."

Xu Mey frowned a bit. "I don't need the world's approval. I just want yours."

"Haha..." Xu Mey heard a deep laugh surprising her. "You want my approval? I guess then my words are only going to hurt you as always. I never approved of your revenge 13 years ago and I still stand where I did back then."

"You think I'm wrong with the revenge?" Xu Mey really hoped that her sensei would approve her revenge. At least this once.

"No... I just find it quite unnecessary as always." Before Xu Mey could say anything Ru spoke again, "It's true that I haven't lived your life and I have no right to judge you, with the kind of person I am. But... I still find it funny that you have 99% of people to love you and yet you chose to drive your life for that 1% of hateful people. It's very bizarre for me."

Although Xu Mey knew that her sensei was brutal with words, it still hurt her. Especially because the words weren't wrong. She chose to drive her life in hate for just two people while a hundred were around her to love her. But before today, her sensei never said these words.

Ru always just told Xu Mey to leave the revenge to her and focus on the people who care for her in this life. But Xu Mey was the one who chose this path. Did she regret it? No! Even if she did, she'll never say it out loud. Because she knew that once she actually accepted it that her revenge ruined her heart, her life will shatter away.

"I did the wrong thing, huh?" Xu Mey managed to say out loud.

"Wrong? Yes! But then again, we are all wrong. We all do the wrong things. But our reasons are always right. I always wondered how do our reasons become the right thing when we are the ones called, 'Wrong'? Let me tell you, the thing is your reason for revenge was never wrong. It was you who was wrong to disregard the love of hundreds to always let yourself burn in the fire of hatred." With that, Ru disconnected the call leaving Xu Mey alone to ponder and Ye Jie to reel with complicated thoughts.
