Chapter 893: Unforgivable
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They had clearly grown up together, but their relations.h.i.+p was not good. They could not play together since they were young.
As they were of similar age and were both girls, the two of them could not help but be compared by each other’s parents. They had been compet.i.tors since they were young, and every exam was their battlefield. When Fang Yuqing did better, Xu Pingfei, and her husband would feel proud. The next time Fang Yupei did well, Fang Yu and Liu Yu would feel proud.
The first time the two of them used their private money to invest, Fang Yuqing earned a lot, but Fang Yupei almost lost everything. This made the family compare them for a long time.
As Fang Yusheng was good-looking and was like an immortal, there was no junior in the family who did not want to get close to him. However, Fang Yusheng did not get close to others, only having a good att.i.tude towards Fang Yuqing. All kinds of reasons caused Fang Yupei and Fang Yuqing’s relations.h.i.+p to worsen. The two of them targeted each other everywhere and had many conflicts.
A few years ago, Fang Yupei was indeed the one who exposed Fang Yuqing’s pregnancy. Now that she had grown up and seen more, Fang Yupei realized that she had done many wrong things.
However, she was young and immature. She had made a mistake that could not be made up for.
However, she still lacked an apology and did not tell Fang Yuqing.
After the two of them left the ward, Fang Yuqing turned around and said to Fang Yupei, “Go back. You don’t have to send me off.”
“Sister Yuqing.” Fang Yupei was two months younger than Fang Yuqing, so she should call her Sister.
Fang Yuqing had gooseb.u.mps when she suddenly heard Fang Yupei call her sister.
What was she doing now?
Fang Yuqing looked vigilant as she stared at Fang Yupei.
After seeing Fang Yuqing’s reaction, Fang Yupei smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry.” Fang Yupei said something that made no sense.
Fang Yuqing was stunned for a moment before asking her, “Which matter are you apologizing for?” Her smile was a little sarcastic. “You’ve done more than one or two things to me. If you don’t say it clearly, how will I know which matter you’re apologizing for?”
Fang Yupei bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly, looking conflicted. “I was young and insensible in the past. I caused you a lot of trouble.”
Fang Yuqing looked at her silently and did not interrupt her.
Fang Yupei, on the other hand, looked apologetic. Her tone was filled with guilt. She said, “Back then, because I was insensible, I caused you to commit suicide. I almost…” She had never seen the scene of Fang Yuqing slit her wrist to commit suicide, but she had heard the Fang family servants mention it. At that time, when she heard their description, she was so frightened that she trembled.
At that time, she knew that she had done something wrong.
Her jealousy had almost killed Fang Yuqing. This was a knot in Fang Yupei’s heart that she could not let go of all these years.
“Regardless of whether you forgive me or not, I should apologize to you for this.” After Fang Yupei finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Fang Yuqing. “I’m sorry. I betrayed you.”
Fang Yuqing’s expression did not change.
“It’s all in the past.”
She turned around and left, not caring about Fang Yupei’s reaction.
An apology could not soothe the hurt she had suffered in the past or the slander brought about by those rumors.
She did not know if others would be magnanimous and forgive Fang Yupei when faced with such a situation, or if they would continue to hate her. However, Fang Yuqing was narrow-minded, and she could not be magnanimous and forgive her. Fang Yupei had once hurt her so much. She was the one who felt pain, and she was the one who decided if she should forgive Fang Yupei.
However, she did not want to forgive Fang Yupei, nor could she forgive the person who had hurt her so easily.
Fang Yuqing went straight to the Gynecology Department and found Fang Yusheng. When she did not see Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yuqing sat down beside Fang Yusheng and asked, “Brother Yusheng, has Sister-in-law Ah Sheng gone in?”
“Yes.”
“How long have you been in there?”
Fang Yusheng looked at the time and said, “More than ten minutes.”
Fang Yuqing waited with Fang Yusheng. After a few minutes, Fang Yusheng suddenly said, “Every time we do such a deformity check, I’m especially worried.”
Fang Yuqing looked at Fang Yusheng in surprise.
She thought that Brother Yusheng was invincible, but it turned out that Brother Yusheng was also worried and afraid.
In order to kill time, Fang Yusheng chatted with Fang Yuqing.
“Is the studio doing well?”
At the mention of her work interest, Fang Yuqing’s eyebrows were filled with confidence. She smiled and said, “Yes, it’s quite good. It’s already on the right track. I believe it will be even better in the future.” Her choice at the beginning was right. Giving up the dream city of the designers in Paris and choosing to stay in Binjiang was the most suitable way of life for her.
Fang Yusheng said, “This is good. Your Sister-in-law Ah Sheng could have entered the Fang Corporation or any company in the Qiao family to work, but she gave up.” At the mention of Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Yusheng’s gaze became gentle. “She likes jade carvings, so she opened a jade shop and focused on making jade carvings. This is good.”
Fang Yuqing said, “I think this is good too.” Everyone had their own interests and pursuits. It was a blessing to be able to treat interest as work.
Fang Yusheng asked again, “Did you get along with that kid from the Lu family?”
Fang Yuqing was especially surprised.
“Brother Yusheng, how did you know?”
Fang Yusheng smiled and did not answer. “I see the Fang family’s every move.”
Fang Yuqing was slightly shocked but quickly felt relieved.
Yes, Brother Yusheng was the head of the Fang family after all. He should know every action of anyone in the family. Fang Yuqing thought of Lu Lingyu and felt helpless. “He’s not bad, but I don’t feel anything. We can be friends, but we can’t be lovers.”
“Do you like that kid from the Jiang family that much?” Fang Yusheng’s tone was smiling.
Fang Yuqing lowered her head slightly and did not speak.
Fang Yusheng asked her, “If you like him, why didn’t you confess to him?”
“…I don’t dare.” This was the first time Fang Yuqing told someone her inner thoughts honestly. She was actually a coward. She had a crush on someone, but she did not dare to tell the other party. Fang Yusheng frowned. Thinking of the source of Fang Yuqing’s inferiority complex, he sighed and said, “In this day and age, no one is cleaner than anyone. Some people are even more ridiculous than when you were young.”
However, Fang Yuqing said, “After a long time, I realized that I’m actually not that innocent.” Fang Yuqing tilted her head and looked at Fang Yusheng. She met his eyes and said, “So what if I really liked that boy back then? He didn’t rape me after all. To put it bluntly, I didn’t have enough self-respect and couldn’t resist the temptation. So I brought it on myself. I just let that child down.”
Fang Yuqing had to face her former ridiculous self. Her younger self had made a huge mistake because of her curiosity about the forbidden fruit and her indulgence in her boyfriend. After that, although Hu Cheng had let her down, she still did not love herself enough.
