447 Suffocating (2/2)

”You know nothing about me,” hissed Qiu Meihui.

Ying laughed at her words, ”It's actually the other way around. You know nothing about me. Back then, you wanted to hurt your mom so you chose to walk away from Xiaoli. Now, you want to hurt me so you chose to walk back into his life. How cute that you think so highly of me! But at the end of the day, you're still just doing everything for your ego.”

The more agitated she was, the more Ying didn't believe her words. ”Oh, really? Then would you like to explain to me how and why did he keep hanging on to you even when you weren't in his life?”

”Because he loves me very much,” argued Qiu Meihui.

”Wow! I didn't know that.” One could hear sarcasm very clearly in her voice. ”Then explain your hot and cold behavior with him?” Qiu Meihui frowned as she went on, ”Men are weird. If you give them attention, they run away. But if you give them attitude, they run after you. I guess you knew Xiaoli's nature very well. He was one of those idiots and you took advantage of it perfectly well.”

”Before trying to prove me as the bad guy, don't forget you're no better.”

Ying clicked her tongue, ”Ay! When did I disagree? Of course, I'm no better. But if that's the case, why are you even competing with me?” Qiu Meihui's face contorted. ”Why am I the one you're so desperate to win from? If it'll bring you personal satisfaction, I give it to you. I, Yan Ying promise you I won't ever interfere in your life. But I have a request... Don't use Xiaoli's feelings for your personal agenda. That idiot really does love you more than anyone. Don't hurt him in this game you're trying to play. You'll regret it otherwise.”

”I don't need your lecture,” said Qiu Meihui before storming off of there.

Ying looked at her back and leaning against the door, she slid down on the ground. She sat there with a blank look as she whispered, ”It wasn't a lecture though. I really don't want him to get hurt.” She clutched her chest as she closed her eyes in pain. ”Because it's hurting me enough. I don't want him to go through the same.”

Whenever people called Ying crazy and obsessive about running after Xiaoli even when she knew he was in love with another, she didn't mind it. She knew it better than anyone what she was doing. She was indeed crazy, and obsessive but only because she didn't want Xiaoli to get hurt. She was aware of Qiu Meihui's nature and she knew Xiaoli was very simple compared to her.

In conclusion, she knew it was a toxic relationship. Both Qiu Meihui and Xiaoli were gonna get each other hurt. After all, one always chose love in his life over everything while the other always chose her pride over love.

This time, her tears didn't fall. She didn't feel like crying at all. Instead, she just felt suffocated. Perhaps, those feelings were finally becoming too much for her to keep. She had to let it all go.
