Chapter 538: Don’t Appear Before Me In The Future Anymore
“Hah…” Yin Shuiling curled the corners of her lisp up into a smile. She smiled very calmly yet mockingly. “I am not suitable for him? Then what kind of girl would suit him?
“I met him when I was eight. Actually, the times that we were happy were only three months when added together, but he went over to America, and I spent seven whole years to reminisce about him.
“He finally came back. I thought I could be together with him happily, but…Heavens did not allow it to happen. He thought that I only treated him as on older brother and wanted to dominate and love him, so no matter how much I chased after him as he ran away, he did not even reply to me.
“Did you know I managed to make it through these three years? Every time you asked me to come over, the cla.s.smates in my cla.s.s would study at night for the examinations the next day. I went to meet him, and every time he would demand it from me very vigorously, I would always cry beneath him, because I was afraid that he would hurt me, and I would not be able to attend school the next day, but I realized the more I cried, the more excited he got, and he would get even more rough…
“On a hot summer day, to cover up the marks on my body, I would wear high-collared clothes. Cla.s.smates would gossip behind my back, and I was very scared of their gazes. I was so very afraid that they would find out that I went to accompany a man when I was 15 years old; I was afraid that the rumours would be all over the place…
“Over those three years, I would not speak to my parents. I staged a cold war with them, and every time they would force me to meet Mu Yunfan, I would look outside the window, and I hoped that he would descend from the skies like Prince Charming and hug me as he said, ‘Shui Ling, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. In the future, Older Brother will protect you. You are free now…’
“I didn’t know until now that my mother’s heart disease had worsened over the past three years. The day my mother left, Mummy asked me to go and beg him to help our Yin family, but I felt so bad for him. I said to Mummy, ‘How do I have such parents like you two?’ Because I felt so bad for him, my mother called me for the entire night, and I did not even answer one of her calls.
“The night my family landed in trouble, what was I doing? I went to accompany him, and he forced me to use… He was angry inside his heart and could not help take his anger out on my body. He was not even willing to use birth control…
“I was so young, I did not know how to earn money and did not have any skills. What did I have? I did not have anything at all. I only had myself… At 15 years old, I gave myself to him.
“But what did he give me in return? When my mother left, he pushed me away and asked me to cry somewhere else. When my dad was in prison, he did not even let me see my father…
“I was his woman, but he insulted me like this. He said that I was evil, and he said that if he’d found out earlier, he would not have saved me, and he would have let all of those men come and sleep with me… The child inside my belly is his child. He said that this is a wicked baby, and he raped me. He used so much strength…”
Yin Shuiling could not continue speaking. She covered her face with both hands and sobbed silently.
She did not know if she did not suit him, then who would be more suitable compared to her?
The happy times that he gave her only amounted to a few months, but she had given him ten whole years.
She gave the best form of love and time in her life and gifted it to him.
Because of him, she lost both her father and mother, and she lost her home. She did not have anything left.
Liu Caizhe found his throat become bitter. He could not bear to see her being so silent and hopeless, so he averted his gaze to the side. “Miss Yin, don’t blame Muchen, he really does not know anything at all. He always thought that the three years that you did not have him around, you were living very happily… If you really hate him, then tell him the truth. I can guarantee that this would be the best kind of torture that came too late for him, and you can ruin him completely.”
Liu Caizhe was testing her.
Because he could not imagine it. If Yin Muchen found out about the truth, what would he do then?
Yin Muchen right now, he was already in enough pain.
For her to ruin him, it would be a piece of cake.
Yin Shuiling listened to his words and stopped crying. She wiped her tears away with her small hand. She hugged both of her legs and continued to daydream.
Knock, knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. There was someone outside the door, but the person did not say anything.
Yin Shuiling did not have any reaction. Liu Caizhe looked towards the door. Knock, knock. The sound of the knocking continued on.
Both of them knew that Yin Muchen…was outside.
…
Liu Caizhe looked at the girl, before turning around. He walked over to the side of the door and opened it.
Yin Muchen stood outside the door, the man was dressed in a grey s.h.i.+rt and a pair of black trousers. His handsome face did not change too much, and there was only an additional layer of tiny stubble on his firm jaw. Blood vessels were apparent in his deep eyes from fatigue.
He became even more silent than usual.
“Muchen, I came over just now to bring Miss Yin her meal… You two can chat. I will be going.” Liu Caizhe turned his body to the side and left.
Yin Muchen looked inside the room. His gaze immediately fell onto Yin Shuiling. The girl was quiet as she curled herself in the middle of the bed. Her luscious black hair was let down, and it covered her small face.
She did not say a word, and he also did not walk inside the room.
After a long pause, Yin Shuiling said, “I want you to promise me with two things, okay? You do not have to worry. It has nothing to do with my father. You would probably not have trouble doing it.”
Yin Muchen’s gaze stopped on the girl’s body. She’s lost weight. If he went to embrace her, she would probably take no s.p.a.ce at all.
He felt bad as he raised his eyebrows. He did not say anything for a long time, then his voice was very hoa.r.s.e as he replied, “You can say it.”
“Firstly, let Fan Chengsi go; don’t touch him.”
Her first request was that…Fan Chengsi.
“Hmm.” He nodded his head and said, “Okay.”
…
The next day, Yin Shuiling prepared to leave. Aunty helped her pack a few pieces of clothing. She worried as she nagged, “Miss Yin, where are you going to go if you leave? Your house is sealed off for inspection, and the world outside is too messy right now. You are a young girl; it is too dangerous for you. Based on what I think, you should just stay here. Sir would not dare to do it again, you…”
“Aunty,” Yin Shuiling interrupted her and she placed the clothing that Aunty packed up back into the closet. “I am not bringing anything along with me. You don’t have to pack it.”
“How would that do? You always need clothes and your daily essentials.”
Yin Shuiling turned her gaze back and had a slight smile on her face. She said, “Aunty, the things here do not belong to me. I cannot take things that belong to others.”
Aunty froze.
Yin Shuiling was emotional as she had a look around the room. Everything inside the room had been bought by Yin Muchen, and in the past, when she lived here, she found it to be hers, but now, everything was different.
She had her own hands and feet. She would not choose to take his things again, and she also did not need his money. Furthermore, she also did not need him to support her.
Yin Shuiling turned around. She walked over to the side of the bed and prepared to change her shoes.
The moment she turned around, she saw Yin Muchen. She did not know when the man arrived. He was quiet as he looked at her. His handsome and exquisite features were all gentle.
Yin Shuiling treated it as if she’d seen nothing, and she sat down at the side of the bed to bend over and change her shoes.
Aunty had a look at the girl, then looked towards Sir. Sir had arrived a long time ago. He must have heard everything the girl had just said.
Aunty could not let out a sigh.
Yin Shuiling was in the midst of changing her shoes, and suddenly, a pair of shoes appeared in her line of vision. The man went down on one knee, and he held the shoes that she was holding in her small hands with his long fingers, then cupped her small feet and helped her put her shoes on.
At this moment, Yin Shuiling found that there was no need to be coy with him anymore, so she let go, sat up straight, and allowed him to help put on her shoes.
The man placed her small feet into her shoes. His long fingers weaved through the shoelaces of the shoes. He did not lift his head up, and he said, “I know that you are not willing to accept my things now, but if you leave this place, you would need to spend money. I have prepared some money for you. It is also okay if you do not want to live here, I have helped you to purchase a condominium unit nearer to school. After this, let Aunty live together with you…”
“There is no need for that.” Yin Shuiling was calm as she interrupted him, “You can keep your own money. When a person is rich, he can live lavishly. When a person is poor, he has other means to live on. Furthermore, my father left an overseas account for me. I can still be considered to have money… During this period of time, I will live in a hotel. Nothing bad will happen, and after half a month, I’ll be taking the Gaokao examinations. With my abilities, I should be able to attain a good score. After I get accepted to a school, I will go to England to further my studies…”
The man’s hands that were tying her shoelaces froze.
The girl took her shoe back from his hand and bent over to put it on. “I will have a good life, so you don’t have to worry… You don’t have to send someone to follow me. You also should not appear before me again, if you really want me to be living well.”
After she was done tying her shoelaces, Yin Shuiling stood up. She glanced at Aunty before stepping forward to give Aunty a huge hug. She was coy as she smiled and said, “Aunty, thank you for your care that you’ve given me. I do not know if we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future. I wish for you to be healthy and live a long life.”
Tears welled up in Aunty’s eyes as she said, “Miss Yin, you…”
Yin Shuiling let go of Aunty. She waved her small hand, and she did not have any hesitation as she headed for the door. “Aunty, I will be leaving now. You don’t have to send me off.”
She left.
The whole time, Yin Muchen maintained his posture as he stooped down beside the bed, and the girl did not look at him in the eye even once.
She left. She really left. The room still had the sweet scent of the young girl, and it was just like a dream.
…
Yin Shuiling started to attend school, the students all knew that her family was in trouble, and they looked at her with pity in their eyes. They were all snickering in happiness. They all judged her, but she did not bother with them at all.
She lived her own life and studied on her own.
The rumours about her pregnancy and miscarriage were buried by Yin Muchen, and almost no one knew, but paper could not contain fire, and there would be gossip about her that appeared occasionally, so she just brushed it off with a smile.
She found a hotel near the school, and she moved in. The butler found her and gave her the account that Yin De had left behind, and she took it.
Yin De’s crimes were all confirmed a long time ago. Yin Shuiling flipped through the papers, and Yin De was sentenced to life in prison.
Yin Shuiling went over to the Fragrant Mountain nearby to make a wish, and she wrote, I hope that my father would be healthy and at peace, on the wis.h.i.+ng bag. The Yin family gave her life and raised he. Over the past ten years, she always lived for Yin Muchen. In the future, she wanted to live for her father.
There was a night when she returned back to the Yin family villa.
The villa was covered with white stickers, and even the lawn had become messy because there was no one that came over to tidy it up. She stepped onto the gra.s.s and went behind the villa. She pushed open the window in the kitchen and climbed into the house.
There was no one in the villa, and it was so quiet that it’d make anyone shudder. Yin Shuiling went upstairs and pushed the door of her childhood bedroom open.
