Chapter 152 : Bei Ze’s Story End (2/2)
But because the road was slippery and it was dark, I ended up injuring myself.
In the hospital, I learned she and Fu Qin were staying on the floor just above mine. I also learned from Ji Xiaoyu that she was the one who rescued Fu Qin.
I’ll admit, I was jealous then. They had only known each other for a few days, yet she was able to risk her life to save his?
But she left the country not long after that.
The period of time when she was out of the country was the darkest period of my life.
Bei Enterprises was grievously wounded, facing enemies on all sides.
At that time, there was a girl who stood by my side against all odds.
I remembered her, because she had once appeared by that person’s side.
This girl was called Lin Yin.
But I didn’t need her, so I tried to scare her away by making life difficult for her. Yet she persisted in staying. No matter what I did, she’d simply take it in silence.
She was by my side when I was at my lowest. She was with me when I experienced the cruelties of the human heart. She ate the worst meals I had ever tasted, just to be by my side. She even took a beating together with me…
She participated in the most difficult period of my life. When I learned she threatened the Lin Family with suicide to help me, the heartache I felt for her far exceeded my shock.
I think that was when I decided to let go of the past.
The girl that I needed to protect had appeared.
I swore an oath to the Lin Family that I would give Lin Yin a splendorous wedding in five years time.
They provided me with capital, the capital I needed to rise again.
And all of this, was because of her. Lin Yin.
I hadn’t expected to see that person again three years later. I had thought we’d never meet again in this life.
She hadn’t changed at all in these three years. Standing next to Fu Qin, she looked… right.
I felt freed then.
Since she was doing alright, what was there for me to be worried about?
One heart could not hold two people.
The person I loved now was Lin Yin, the girl who had given me the chance to live again. So, I could only seal up that period of youthful infatuation, one that would never see the light of day until, perhaps, the day of my death.
Once upon a time, I liked Bei Zhi.
But on the night of our wedding, Lin Yin told me that the reason why she was able to come to my aid without hesitation was because that person had told her, “Go do whatever you want to. Even if you lose it all, I can help you get back to the start.”
Lin Yin told me, “I believed her. So, I was able to place all my bets on you.”
I… didn’t know what to say. It turned out that everything I owned now, was given by her.
Without her words, Lin Yin would’ve given up on me due to pressure from her family.
Without her words, Lin Yin wouldn’t have threatened them with suicide if they didn’t help me.
Without her words, I wouldn’t have been able to marry Lin Yin; I wouldn’t have been able to have a wife who loves me far more than I love her.
All news of that person, I learned from Lin Yin. Lin Yin seemed to like her a lot; every time she mentioned that person, she’d always be more excited than even when she sees me!
Every time, I’m at a loss as to laugh or cry.
I really doubt that the young woman who swore she liked me was her. No matter how I look at it, it seems like the real reason she married me was for the sake of getting closer to her.
I’ll be honest, I was jealous. Even though the two of you haven’t met in years, your relationship was just the same as before.
Bei Zhi,
Thank you. Thank you for leaving behind such a heavy mark in my world.
The thing I regret the most, was not having the courage to court you while I still liked you.
