Chapter 568: I Dont Want You to Get Hurt
Yan Qingsi knew that the Second Elder of the Su family did not like her.
Then again, no one could ever like herand they definitely should not.
Their daughter got hurt while saving her. Mrs. Yue was the apple of the Second Elders eye. How could he not feel devastated, how could he not blame her?
She was used to people not liking her. They had never even met, so how could they like someone they have never met anyway?
Besides, how many Mrs. Yue-s could this world have?
If everyone was like Mrs. Yue, she would not have had such a difficult life all these years.
Yan Qingsi wanted to refuse the invitation, did not want to meet them. Mrs. Yue wanted so much for them to meet, but under all these circ.u.mstances it might be better to not meet at all.
However, Yan Qingsi did not know how to refuse Mrs. Yue.
Mrs. Yue caressed the top of Yan Qingsis head. All my life, my parents have always listened to me, she said. Whatever l like, they will also like. Youre such a good girl. Theyll definitely like you too.
Yan Qingsi gave a silent bitter laugh. She knew that that was impossible; they would not like her, and they would not have a reason to like her.
Aunties parents must be kind and compa.s.sionate people, like Auntie, Yan Qingsi chuckled.
Mrs. Yue nodded. Of course
Aiya, my father isnt actually kind. Hes so fierce that my brothers and I were scared of him when we were younger. My mothershes all right. Shes icy though, as though she were a lady from a n.o.ble house during olden times. Theyre like that, but youve got nothing to be afraid of. They act all haughty and proud, but they wont in front of you. I wont let them go off if they dare to act all haughty to you.
When Mrs. Yue spoke of her parents, her tone was laced with the rebelliousness and proudness of a little girls. This mysterious att.i.tude of woman only surfaced when they faced their own parents.
Yan Qingsi wore a small smile as she listened. Mrs. Yue always had a lucky life. The only unlucky thing in her life was her marriage.
Yan Qingsi thought of Yue Pengcheng; she did not know how was the b*stard now.
She had plotted to drive a wedge between them that time. No matter what, a pompous man like Yue Pengcheng would never allow his own woman to humiliate him by having an affair.
He and Ding Fu would never have the same relations.h.i.+p as before.
The best way to get revenge against these people was to make them constantly be suspicious of each other without a single day of peace. She would live her days out better, and use her own happiness to foil their sorrows.
When Yue Tingfeng returned home with a push of the door, he saw Yan Qingsis face split into two with smiles, talking and laughing with Mrs. Yue. The fog clouding her features had lifted, and her eyes finally had a spark of life in them.
Yue Tingfeng released a sigh of relief. He really did not know how to cajole or console people. Fortunately, he had a mother that could work wonders and do the impossible.
Yue Tingfeng was glad that he and his mother had the same tastethey did not like girls who put on a show, they liked girls like Yan Qingsi.
Yue Tingfeng carried a basket of peaches in. What are you two talking about so happily? Are you talking behind my back?
What do you think? Remember how you barbequed your grandpas highly prized nine-striped koi fish when you were young? He was so angry that he almost got a heart attack.
Yue Tingfeng skimmed over the topic: Mom, stop talking about my younger days. What youth wasnt a rascal, right? Anyway, Ive got your peaches.
Mrs. Yue rolled her eyes. Put it away. I dont want it anymore. Go and pour me a gla.s.s of water.
