Chapter 395 - I killed her.

Xin Mei felt as if the world was revolving around her eyes. She could not believe what she was hearing. She could feel floor slipping out from under her feet. She could feel her heart racing fast. She could feel her heart thumping hard in her ears.

"I think, I heard you wrong."

"No, you heard me right." Su Yuchen yelled and fell on the ground in agony. He squeezed tight on his thighs and shook his head. "I am a murderer. I murdered my very own stepmother, Jiang Biyu. Now hate me Mei, hate me because I am a murderer."

Body of Su Yuchen started to shook violently as he finally spoke out the secret which was killing him for such a long time. In his anger, he had killed his stepmother.

Xin Mei felt as if someone was slicing her heart when she looked at the condition of Su Yuchen. He was sobbing loudly and his body was shaking. She slumped down on the floor, at his level and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"No, you cannot be a murderer. And a big no, I am never leaving you. Murderer or not, I am never leaving you."

Su Yuchen started to sob loud in the arm of Xin Mei. Loud wails filled in the hall.

"I am sorry Mei. I hide this fact from you that I am a murderer." He sobbed and gulped the next second. "I was afraid that you will…will. Leave me…sob…I…am worse man…I…. I…. I…"

Su Yuchen sobbed loudly. His body shook heavily in the arms of Xin Mei. "Shh, you don't need to say anything to me. Calm down, calm down."

Xin Mei felt hell confused. How came Su Yuchen became a murderer? Never in her wildest dream had she expected that Su Yuchen had hidden a secret like this! This was what always killing him, keeping him closed off.

Once Su Yuchen calmed down, once his sobbing was under his control, he started to speak, "Let me tell you everything today, but promise me that you will never leave me."

"You don't need to tell me anything if you feel pain. I didn't want to know anything."

Xin Mei shook her head negatively. She did not want to hear anything. She did not want to see the pain on the face of Su Yuchen while remembering his past.

"No, let me tell you everything." He released a long, deep, shaky breath. "Now promise me."

"I promise you, Chen. I will never leave you. How can Mei leave her Chen?" she smiled and placed her head on his chest.

Lips of Su Yuchen tilted up in a small smile and he took a sigh of relief. He again took a deep breath, preparing himself to go down in the dark lanes of his past.

"I…my mother…my step mother…I…I…" Su Yuchen stuttered not knowing from where to start his story.

"You can start from the beginning. Who was your biological mother? How did she die?" Xin Mei smiled to him and placed her hand on his lap. Su Yuchen wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. He placed his head on her shoulder.

"My mother was the best mother in this world." Su Yuchen sighed and looked above at the ceiling, looking lost. "She was my everything, my mother, my father, my everything."

What Su Yuchen told to Xin Mei was quite familiar to what he had told to her about his mother after the release of Revenge, but Xin Mei did not point out the same. She was his silent audience.

Su Yuchen told her about his mother, their relationship before telling her about the death of his mother.

"I still remember the night when my mother died." Su Yuchen shuddered under the arms of Xin Mei. "I was four when I saw my mother getting murdered, murdered by the so called lady who called herself my stepmother."

Xin Mei's eyes went wide when she heard Su Yuchen. "When mother returned home from the work that night, she was looking disturbed, lost. She hidden me in her wardrobe and warned me to not make a noise or to not come out from the wardrobe."

"I was a good boy. Listening to her, I did not come out from the wardrobe, nor I made any noise when my mother was cruelly killed by Jiang Biyu." Su Yuchen shrugged his shoulders and tears slipped out of his eyes.

He took his lips in between his teeth and a sob left his mouth. "I kept crying but didn't make a noise as my mother was getting murdered. Jiang Biyu called my name but still, I did not come out. I stayed in the closet for two days until my neighbours found me and my mother. They sent me to the orphanage."

"I was a four year little boy. I did not know what was happening around me. I was in trauma. I was afraid that the killer of my mother will come to kill me. I had many sleepless nights where I cried for my mother. My life had turned dark and I always thought about the killer of my mother. It was only when I met Mian that I felt some light in my life."

"My stepmother killed my mother in her jealousy." Su Yuchen tightened his arm around Xin Mei and sobbed in her arms. "I miss my mother. I miss my mother so much. I so want if she was alive. If my father had not cheated on her. My mother wanted to stay away from the Su family but she was killed because of the jealousy of the missus of Su family."

Su Yuchen sobbed loudly and Xin Mei was rubbing his back. She whispered sweet nothings in his ears. She could not believe that he was in so much pain because of his past.

She could not believe that the lady who claimed that she loved Su Yuchen was so cruel. She was a murderer. How could she be so close to Gu Biyu or Jiang Biyu in the past?

"I don't remember much from past. Hell I don't even remember the face of my mother but I always remembered the face of her murderer, and when I was brought to the Su residence, I kept searching for the lady who killed my mother. And when I saw her, Jiang Biyu for the first time, I saw red and without thinking twice, I killed her by stabbing a knife in her stomach."
