Chapter 368 - Betrayal from the ones she has never thought of. (1/2)
”What do you mean? Did you …” her words and expression showed disbelief and her eyes made them realize that what they have feared has been done. There was pain in her eyes and to some extent those pains were surging hatred into her.
None of the three ever wanted to let Lifen know about any of these. Though they have resented what they did but still there was a fear the hatred they will be going to get after these things will get revealed to her.
Deming himself never wanted to bring those stuff up. He has already come to know about all this just after Murphy revealed to him that Long Jie was not the one from his childhood. But he still did not come to confront the old man thinking there must be a reason behind this and he will do everything on his own.
But he has never thought that the situation will demand different things from her. Now knowing that the danger was already so close, he can't take risk especially when Lifen was involved in the midst.
That made him come and knock at these people's doors so that he can get the enemies fast but the old man was still being all stubborn, like revealing this secret he was going to break some of his ancestral heirloom.
He wanted to yell at him but stopped thinking the woman sleeping in the room at some distance won't like it. But when he heard Yuzhe saying all those words he wasn't able to control his temper and burst out. He has kept his voice low lest to interrupt her sleep but little did he expect that the woman would have already heard. And above that would have heard the things they have been hiding from her.
Earlier Lifen suddenly felt thirsty, so she got up to get a glass of water. She thought of calling Deming but when not found him in the room, she thought to see where he went. She has known in very good terms that this man could never get along with her grandfather in good terms.
But she has never thought that on the way to find him, she will come to know such a big truth. She could not believe her ears. The two persons whom she believed the most have brought her such pains.
”Brother Yuzhe, why did you do that? I never thought that even after knowing how I felt all these years you still played with my feelings and emotions. You knew Deming was the person for whom I have waited for so long, yet you manipulated everything so that we have misunderstandings between us”, she said, getting all disheartened.
Then she turned to look at her grandfather and said, ”Grandpa, you said that he did not deserve to be me and you won't accept him because he has so many rumors with Long Jie. But never you brought up the fact that it has been you who have pushed Long Jie into his life”
She still remembered the day of the annual anniversary party of Li Corporations where vher grandfather had gone to high extents just to make her give up with the thought of bringing Deming into her life.
She can't believe all this time she was getting fooled by her own people. The people whom she has trusted the most. She shook her head, not understanding the things that were happening in front of her eyes.
Wheeling herself a little back , so that all the three men got in front of her eyes, she said looking at Deming, ”And you … when did you come to know all these? Didn't we already agree that we won't be hiding anything in between ourselves, then why did you not tell me anything about it? Were your promises also a lie like their real face?”
She yelled as her tears rolled down her eyes. She was really hurt. The pain one receives after realizing that their own people betrayed him was something really hard to bear. It makes you feel your inside crumpling in a way that won't ever be able to come back to normal.
Lifen looked at all the three to get the answers of her questions but none of her questions were answered. She felt miserable inside but still no one was ready to answer her.
”Huh? I might have really had a false picture of you three. None of you ever cared for me or my feelings. Good! Though I am late to understand this, at the very least I was able to get to that point in my life”, she said as she wheeled herself backwards.
