Chapter 135: Heartache

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

They learned that Xu Fang did not mistreat Ling Xue just because she was not her biological daughter. Instead, Xu Fang doted on Ling Xue very much.

Every time the school held a parent-teacher meeting, Xu Fang would accompany Ling Xue to the parent-teacher meeting instead of accompanying her brother, Ling Jin.

Everyone that listened in began to wonder. As the mastermind of the child swap, Xu Fang must have known that Ling Xue was not her biological daughter. Why was Xu Fang still treating Ling Xue so well?

Pei Xin didn’t know about this at first. When she saw the past that everyone had dug up online, she was a little puzzled.

Tian Yuan was also curious, but she was too embarrassed to ask Pei Xin during the live stream, so she silently suppressed the doubts in her heart.

At this moment, Pei Xin’s phone rang.

It was still an unknown number.

Pei Xin picked it up.

Lu Li’s roar came from the other end of the phone. “Good job, Pei Xin. You’ve got guts. You even thought of a way to gain sympathy for yourself. Look at the public opinion now. Everyone is attacking Ling Xue. You were clearly the one who took everything that belonged to her. Why should Ling Xue still bear the blame now? Flurry up and tell everyone that Ling Xue is innocent.”

Pei Xin silently put her phone on speaker mode. She felt that Lu Li’s voice was very noisy.

Pei Xin understood why Lu Li was calling, it was to defend Ling Xue.

If it was in the past, Pei Xin might have stepped forward to speak up for Ling Xue. However, she was clear-headed now and was no longer held hostage by Ling Xue’s morals.

Pei Xin said coldly to Lu Li, “I never said anything bad about Ling Xue during the live broadcast. The reason why people scolded Ling Xue was because she slandered Ling Jin. She was the one who repaid kindness with ingratitude. Why should I speak up for her? Because of Ling Xue’s actions, my brother lost his job and was shunned by everyone. He suffered for so many years. Why didn’t you stand up for my brother?”

Lu Li sounded very arrogant. “Who is Ling Jin? It was his honor to be Ling Xue’s brother for more than ten years. He should have done more for Ling Xue. If Ling Xue had grown up in the Pei family, she would have received a better education and wouldn’t have needed to drop out of school. Ling Xue could have had endless wealth and noble status, but your mother turned her into a poor daughter.”

Pei Xin said coldly, “You said it yourself. This is Xu Fang’s fault. Whoever was in the wrong should bear the responsibility. If you think it’s unfair to Ling Xue, then go and settle the score with Xu Fang. Don’t take your anger out on my brother.”

Lu Li was surprised by Pei Xin’s attitude.

He could not help but question Pei Xin. “What’s with your attitude now? Are you saying you don’t owe me or Ling Xue anymore?”

“What else do you think I’m saying?” Pei Xin asked back indifferently. “Lu Li, when I was with you, I really liked you.” Pei Xin sighed. When you found out that I wasn’t the real daughter of the Pei family, you didn’t give up on this relationship. I know that you’re not a practical person. So why are you being so stubborn now? Ling Xue is already your girlfriend. Can’t you live your life with Ling Xue happily? Can’t we just let bygones be bygones? Let me go, and let yourself go. Our past fate was an ill-fated one. Let it end.”

Lu Li listened to Pei Xin’s indifferent words and suddenly felt a sense of grievance.

He had always been unwilling to let her go.

He and Pei Xin grew up together.

He went to and from the same school as Pei Xin since they were in elementary school.

As he grew older, Pei Xin gradually became the school belle.

More and more boys followed Pei Xin. They wanted to attract Pei Xin’s attention. It was at that time that Lu Li gradually realized his desire to monopolize Pei Xin.

He wanted Pei Xin to only belong to him.

Pei Xin was very outstanding, but it was only enough for him to accompany such an outstanding woman alone.

He did not know when it started, but he slowly became Pei Xin’s escort.

After the high school entrance exam, he officially confessed to Pei Xin and the two of them confirmed their relationship.

At that time, Lu Li was so excited that he couldn’t sleep at all.

In the past, his thoughts were only filled with Pei Xin, and all his emotions were affected by her..
