Chapter 17 – I"m not going to apologize to her
“Because you won"t bother.” The man"s voice was powerful and resonating.
Shen QingLan was shocked.
That besides her blood relatives, there was another man in this world who truly believed in her without question. Even if they just knew each other close for a short time.
Fu HengYi looked at Shen QingLan, his eyes were gentle. “You"re a prideful person, it"s not worth for you to do something like this. But sometimes you still need to explain yourself better because not everyone will believe in you as easily like i do.”
Shen QingLan looked dazedly at the other person"s eyes, and for the first time her calm heart was rippling because of a man.
*************************
The swelling of Shen QingLan"s cheek didn"t lessened after the application of ice.
But in order not to make Grandma Shen worried, Grandpa Shen chose not to tell her that Shen QingLan was beaten. He only said that the two sisters had some arguments, and Shen XiTong accidentally slipped and injured her foot. When Grandma Shen knew that QingLan was alright she really felt relieved. After all the commotion outside wasn"t small at all, and she was lying down on the bed and also didn"t have any strength to get up. So she couldn"t see what had happened in person, and could only worried in her heart.
Chu YunRong didn"t come back until evening, and her face was exhausted.
“How is XiTong?” Grandpa Shen asked.
“The doctor said that she only fractured her right calf bone, and her other injuries aren"t big problem. But her performance is coming soon, so she become somewhat depressed about it.”
After all it was a chance that was very hard to come by. Even if Shen XiTong was famous in the industry, such an opportunity was still very precious for her.
After Chu YunRong finished talking, she looked at Shen QingLan who was silently sitting on the side. “QingLan, you"re the one who is wrong in today"s matter. I don"t care what kind of argument or misunderstanding between the two of you. But she is still your elder sister. It is wrong to push her down. And now because of you she had lost a very rare opportunity. Although TongTong said not to blame you, but you still have to act a little sensible. So tomorrow you come with mother to the hospital and apologize to her.”
Shen QingLan only looked up slightly and gazed at her mother. Her eyes were cold and there was no emotion in them. “I will not apologize to her.”
“You.. you"re the one who made a mistake towards TongTong, but you still don"t want to repent yourself and also talk back to your elders. Did I teach you to act this way?”
Shen QingLan"s mouth was slightly raised, her thought was unknown. “I only knew that I"m an orphan. That i have no parents, so no one had taught me about manners. Many people even called me that I"m some illegitimate child that no one wants.”
Shen QingLan"s voice was very soft, but it made the living room to become very quite because of it. But her words still landed in the ears of Grandpa Shen and Chu YunRong, and their face instantly became ugly.
Shen QingLan knew that her words were a mistake that shouldn"t have come out when she saw her grandpa"s ugly complexion. So she was somewhat regret saying it. Her original intention wasn"t to hurt her grandpa"s heart.
“Well, YunRong, i already said it before to stop this matter right here. Since XiTong can"t partic.i.p.ate in the performance, let her take a good rest at home for a while. Lan"er aren"t you going to have an exam tomorrow, just go to bed early tonight.”
Grandpa Shen said it as the final decision, he stood up and went upstairs.
Shen QingLan also stood up, planning to go upstairs with him.
“QingLan, i know in your heart you always blame your mother. If not because of mother"s fault, you wouldn"t have been taken away by those traffickers. You wouldn"t have faced so much hards.h.i.+ps, and you"ll be loved dearly as you grow up. You can blame it all to your mother for the sake of the Shen Family. But i know that you"s innocent. You may not know that when i lost you, your mother had gone insane. If not because of TongTong, I"m afraid that the mother you see now may still be a madman. I know since you came back, mother has been biased towards TongTong, but mother also couldn"t help it. That if you come back mother will be right away biased towards you, how would others judge your mother, and also your Shen Family?”
Chu YunRong said with red eyes.
In this matter she had grievance towards Shen QingLan but also to herself. She had lost her own biological daughter, the one she had carried in her stomach for 10 months. Is there anyone who could also understand her pain?
Shen QingLan"s footsteps was stopped, she blinked her beautiful eyes slightly. “You think too much. I have never hate you.”
“No, you hate me, you hate me for losing you. You hate me for not trying to search for you. You hate me for treating TongTong better than you. And you hate TongTong for s.n.a.t.c.hing everything that belongs to you.” Chu YunRong voiced her accusation.
Shen QingLan"s eyes flashed with a strange emotion, but she still didn"t turn around. “If you believe it that way then so be it. As long as it makes you happy.”
Shen QingLan didn"t want to argue more with Chu YunRong.
Chu YunRong suddenly became more irritated because of it. She rushed to the front of Shen QingLan, she looked at her with eyes filled with resentment. “You always act this way, Shen QingLan, you always have faced me with this kind of expression. You always think that it is your mother fault isn"t it? So even when i want to make it up to you, you always reject it to thousands miles away.”
Shen QingLan looked at Chu YunRong, whose emotion was already out of control. She slightly wrinkled her brows. “I never think it was like that.”
“No, you have.”
“QingLan, it was all mother"s mistake. You shouldn"t take your angers out on TongTong. If you have any dissatisfaction you can tell it to your mother, and mother will try to compensate it to you. But it was not TongTong"s mistake, so tomorrow with mother you"ll apologize to her, ok?”
Shen QingLan"s beautiful eyes was mixed with coldness. “I said, i will not apologize to her.”
Chu YunRong suddenly raised her hand again.
“What, you want to beat me again?” Shen QingLan looked straight at Chu YunRong"s eyes, with her back straightened up.
Chu YunRong took two steps back. She looked at Shen QingLan"s left face dazedly. One still could clearly see there were 5 fingerprint on it. Compare to this evening it not even lessening one bit.
“QingLan, mother… mother didn"t do it on purpose.” Chu YunRong"s eyes started to flush, she reached out her hand try to touch Shen QingLan"s injured face.
Shen QingLan moved her face to the side, tried to avoid her. Chu YunRong"s hand was fell behind.
She quickly pa.s.sed on Chu YunRong and went upstairs.
Chu YunRong still stood in the same place, looking at her right hand. Today she used it to beat her own daughter who she owed a lot.
She seemed to have suffered a major blow, she took a few steps back and directly fell on the sofa behind her.
In her room, Shen QingLan buried herself under the blanket and looked dejected.
Sure enough she had lived a comfortable life for a very long time, even her expression hadn"t been well-managed.
Shen QingLan laughed at herself, she couldn"t understand where was that sharp feeling was coming from. But she didn"t care about it anymore.
If those people knew what happened to her, they would immediately laugh at her. How could she couldn"t handle such a trivial matter, today she had been squandered by dirty water and she even got beaten by her mother.
Thinking this way, she suddenly thought of Fu HengYi, who had firmly said to her “I believe in you.” When she only met him for several times.
Shen QingLan rubbed her face, tried to drive away the heat on her face. But she kind of forgot that she had hurt her face, it hurt so bad ahh.
