When Lin Xinyi heard Li Xue announcing her relationship with Feng Shufen, she didn't feel any pain rather was really amused to see the girl. She was right before. Even though she felt ached in her heart before, it was just for the guilt she has been feeling all these years. The regret of her crazy young ideas.
Lin Xinyi's lips curled up at the corners as she saw Li Xue finally leaving her place. Earlier, she has for once even thought about what made Li Xue so capable of standing beside Feng Shufen. But now after seeing her leave with such ease and good note, she knew what would actually be the reason that made the man fall for her.
No doubt that she, Lin Xinyi, was never been chosen. Because what a man like Feng Shufen wanted was not just beauty and charm but also the personality that only Li Xue hold in herself. It was hard to detail what was so unique in her attitude, but the one who was living close to the girl would never miss to feel that singularity of her personality.
Only after seeing Li Xue disappear from the line of sight did Lin Xinyi go to close the door of her house. As usual, it was not bad having a conversation time with the girl. Though at first she felt stressed thinking that the topic might not end well with Li Xue, now she could tell that it wasn't as hard as she thought.
Lin Xinyi was still in her thoughts when she heard the doorbell ringing. Her steps that were moving in the direction of her room paused as she turned to look in the direction of the house's entrance with some perplexion.
"Who could it be now? Is it Li Xue?" She doubted as looking around the house, she tried to look for anything that the girl might have left behind. But there seemed nothing. Then who else could be there? She has not known many people in the city.
Though in the past, she has everything here. After she left the place, she has lost everything. And now except for the few people she knew from the company, there were not many to visit her at her place. 'So was it CEO Su visiting her at this hour?' There seemed some possibility as last time as well, it was him visiting her at the late hour.
Thinking of the possibility of him visiting her, she curled up her lips before walking back to open the door. But the moment she opened it, her face turned all pale, looking at the person who has actually come for her. "You!!" she called as her fingers tightened on her sides, trying her best to hold the strength that she felt losing inside.
"Yeah, it's me. Did you really think that I would never be able to find you?" it was Zhen Qinrou who has appeared at the front with a smile over her lips. "Even though it took me more than five years to find you, still look, it wasn't too hard for me".
She said and Lin Xinyi felt the hair rising on skin. Not because she was fearing the woman, who was standing in front of her. But because with the mere appearance of that woman, she has recalled everything that has happened on that very night, five years back.
"Y-You … why did you come here? I have nothing to do with you anymore. Kindly leave me alone." Feeling her nerves getting all anxious suddenly, Lin Xinyi who has never known for stutters, couldn't help but stutter for the first time. Her hands worked on impulse as well; as without thinking twice of the idea, she was ready to shut the door on the face of the woman.
But just on time when she could close the door, Zhen Qinrous's hands came to obstruct it, pushing it open instead.
"In these five years did you forget who am I actually? Or do you think that I have forgotten the things that got ruined because of you?" Zhen Qinrou said and her tone held cruelty that Lin Xinyi has only seen five years back. The cruelty that still haunts her at night.
"You … I was just …"
Shush!
Before Lin Xinyi could even say anything, she was shushed silent by the woman. "Do you want me to discuss these things here? Won't you allow me in?" Zhen Qinrou said as then without waiting for permission further, she, pushed the girl aside before getting in to look around. "Umm … I must say that you are not living in a dire state, rather a really comfortable life. Are you still living on the money that you received from me? I must say you are not at loss but …"
"I haven't received any money from you. So better not accuse me of something that I have not done. And what loss are you talking about? Do you see me in any profit?" Not able to take the taunts of the woman on herself, Lin Xinyi sharply yelled. Her voice came all crisp and stern but still left the woman unfazed in her composure. "You pushed me in such loss that ruined my whole. Ruin me to an extent from where I could never recover. What more do you want now? Just leave and let me live with what I have."
She said and her words only made Zhen Qinrou laugh hysterically looking at her face. Like she has lost her mind.
"Haha … do you think you will have a normal and easy life after betraying me.. Aren't you too audaciously greedy to think that?" Zhen Qinrou asked, suddenly turning to sneer at the girl making her step back in fear. "Five years back, what made you think that you can escape and then later live a good life like this? Do you even have any idea that from your one escape everything was ruined? My every plan was ruined!"
