“Brother Liangchuan, haven’t you always wanted to know where I got the birth control drugs? It was she who passed them to me.”
“She was also the one who instructed me to leak the photo that time.”
At this point, Song Yuanxi looked at the people before her.
Finally, her gaze fell on Shen Zihao.
Suddenly, she laughed and said steadily, “I’m here to expose this woman’s pretence! She’s always been insecure about Aunt Xia, so she asked me to spy on them in secret. When Qiao Lian and Brother Liangchuan got married, she contacted me from overseas. It was also through her arrangement that I was able to get out of the rehab home today. And she was the one who told me about this dinner.”
She turned to look at Shen Zihao and suddenly laughed. “Young Master Shen, you are pitiful. Aunt Xia has always been worried about you. Countless nights, I’ve heard her crying because she missed you. I’ve also witnessed how she’d without fail prepare your favorite dishes every festive holiday, knowing you would never have a chance to taste them… But it’s a pity that you were so blinded by this evil woman and created a separation between you and your mother.”
She drew her chair back and left Mei Feng’s side. She made her way to the door and turned back to look at all of them steadily.
No one had expected this turn of events.
Even Qiao Lian was now looking at Song Yuanxi in disbelief.
Shen Liangchuan too, looked stunned.
Xia Yehua’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the girl, and she started speaking, “Yuanxi—”
“Auntie.” Song Yuanxi’s eyes were reddened too, as she made an effort to smile.
She looked at Shen Liangchuan and called him, “Brother Liangchuan.”
Standing at the door, she bowed deeply and said, “I’m sorry.”
“I never intended to harm you. I only wanted revenge.”
She pursed her lips as tears started to roll down her cheeks. “But now… Brother Liangchuan, you’re right, a life for a life. I no longer want revenge.”
“Brother Liangchuan, Aunt Xia, you are good people. And you deserve good things.”
“And I will not be misled into doing irreversible damage anymore.”
Now Song Yuanxi’s face was wet with ears.
It was as though in those few minutes, she had let out everything that had been brewing in her head for the last few months.
And the moment she had said all these things, her posture relaxed, as if a heavy load had been taken off her back.
Her gaze was fixed on Shen Liangchuan for a while and suddenly, she smiled. “Brother Liangchuan, I wish you happiness.”
Having said this, she spun around and ran out.
“Yuanxi!” Xia Yehua jumped up from her seat to chase after her.
But she had just recovered and had barely started walking normally, so how could she catch up with the young lady?
Shen Liangchuan stood frozen on the spot, until Qiao Lian pushed and urged him, “Go after her!”
Shen Liangchuan snapped out of his dazed state.
He looked at Qiao Lian, turned his head and ran out after the girl.
The room became silent at once.
Qiao Lian stood there in a web of emotions.
Although she wanted very much to know what had exactly happened eight years ago, the moment Song Yuanxi had changed completely, she had been moved beyond words.
She knew that Song Yuanxi was not an evil person.
She had merely been taken advantage of by someone else.
Taken advantage of…
At this point, Qiao Lian looked towards Mei Feng once more.
