447 Suffocating (1/2)

Just when Qiu Meihui turned to leave, Ying's voice stopped her.

”The hardest thing I learned in my life is to accept that the person I love so much, can't love me back and I can't do anything about that either. But I tried my best to make peace with this fact because the one I loved was happy being in love with you.”

Qiu Meihui turned on her heels and stared at Ying's face with a complicated look in her eyes, ”Why are you telling me that?”

”I'm telling you that so that you can understand that whatever I did in my life had been for love. But how come you always chose your pride?”

Qiu Meihui's gaze turned hostile, ”What did you say?”

Ying looked at her challenging, ”Did I say anything wrong? Didn't you always choose your pride over love?” Ying took a short pause to see Qiu Meihui's expressions before she said, ”You had been in love with Xiaoli since high school.” Qiu Meihui's eyes widened as she stared at Ying. ”A little kid told me last night that women are not born dumb. They just pretend to be dumb. I completely agree with those words. Even though you think I'm dumb enough to not notice your love for him, I ain't that dumb honey.”

”Don't spout nonsense,” fumed Qiu Meihui leaving her calm persona.

The game was reversed. Now, it was Ying's turn to crawl under her skin and Ying could do it better considering her line of work. In fact, she was very well-versed in that.

”Did I say something wrong though?” Ying's confident stance was getting to Qiu Meihui now. ”I have seen the way you played that game of push and pull for years with Xiaoli and that poor soul still doesn't realize that he had been played by you.”

”Ying, don't go far!”

”I haven't even started yet though,” said Ying with a wicked smile. ”I came across your ex-husband recently and according to him, you only married him because you wanted to hurt your mother. After all, it was Weiwei's wish to get you married to Xiaoli. But just to hurt her badly, you chose to marry the person you didn't love. Even though you loved Xiaoli, you still chose to walk away because of your stupid ego.”

Qiu Meihui took a step towards Ying when she stopped her, ”Don't even think about hitting me. I'm like an injured tigress, I won't hesitate before biting your head off.” Qiu Meihui's hands clenched by her sides tightly. ”You're doing the same thing again. You're just want to satisfy your ego all over again.”
