1542 Runaway Groom
Something even more important… To apologize and tell you something important. What could that something be?
Was her apology going to be for what had happened back then? Was it for s.n.a.t.c.hing her love recently? Was it for something else altogether?
When Ye Youyou heard that statement, her curiosity was piqued.
“Youyou, will you please give me this chance? I would really, really like to apologize to you in person.” Guan Queye looked at her with all the sincerity she could muster in her eyes.
Ye Tian gazed at Ye Youyou and sang the same tune as Guan Queye. “Youyou, your sister is talking to you. So many years have pa.s.sed. You’ve dragged this cold war on for long enough. Can’t you be a little more considerate? Stop making your mother and sister worry about you.”
Ye Youyou found Ye Tian’s words laughable. She replied, “Have you ever treated me as your daughter before?”
Ye Tian was annoyed by that accusation. “How could you say that! That is so hurtful to me as a mother!”
Ye Youyou couldn’t be bothered with the likes of her. She looked toward Guan Queye as she replied, “Alright, I’ll agree to speak with you in private.”
Guan Queye smiled gratefully and said, “Thank you, Youyou. Come with me.”
As she spoke, Guan Queye took control of her wheelchair and headed into the bridal chamber that she had been in before. Ye Youyou went in with her. Guan Queye waited by the side for Ye Youyou to enter before she closed the door.
The closing of the door blocked out all the cacophony from outside. At that moment, the s.p.a.ce consisted of only the two ladies.
Ye Youyou didn’t bother with courtesy and got straight to the point, “What do you have to say? Be quick with it. I’m leaving soon.”
Guan Queye didn’t look like she was bothered by it at all and replied, “I have plenty to say. It’s just a matter of whether you’ll be willing to hear it.”
Her smile widened. That sweet and happy smile that had been present just moments before for all to see had vanished. The smile at this very moment was malevolent and malicious. It made Ye Youyou feel very uncomfortable.
Guan Queye stopped her wheelchair behind the door and looked at Ye Youyou. She suddenly moved her body and slowly rose to full height.
Ye Youyou stared at her in disbelief and asked, “Have your legs recovered?”
Guan Queye’s smile brightened even further. “I love this look on your face. You look like the stupidest idiot ever. Did you think that I was really handicapped?”
With that, she walked toward Ye Youyou. However, it was obvious that her steps weren’t steady. Each step took a lot of effort.
“Did you really think that I would never recover? Heh Heh…” Guan Queye looked her in the eye. “Everyone thought that. Even Shen Luo’an did. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have kept this a secret, and Shen Luo’an wouldn’t have run away from the marriage.”
That information was like a bomb to Ye Youyou. Her heart almost stopped beating. “Run away from the marriage?”
“Stop pretending. You knew all along that he would do something like that. I have never been the person that he wanted! You knew that! That’s why you were so willing to divorce him! Did you think that I wouldn’t know?” As Guan Queye spoke, her eyes widened ferociously, and her body trembled. She continued, “You knew that even if he divorced you, he still wouldn’t be able to forget you and would still love you all the same. Am I right?”
Guan Queye’s demeanor was unspeakably sinister.
Ye Youyou took a step back instinctively and looked at her. “I had no idea. If this is your idea of an apology, I’ve got it. Apology not accepted. Move away!”
Guan Queye had no intention of letting her leave. She hurried over. Her steps were rough and clumsy. She pushed Ye Youyou forcefully as she hollered, “Stop where you are!”
