Enraged voices echoed through the large house-
"GO OUT OF THIS HOUSE !"
"YOU’RE NOT OUR DAUGHTER ANYMORE !" Her parents raged.
Her father looked with disgust at Li Lian while her mother hugged her younger sister, Xie Hue Lin, with a disappointed expression. Xie Hue Lin feigned innocence and started to walk toward her mother.
" No!!!, mother, father, I’m sure Jie Jie can explain, please, she must not be the person in the video !"
After she calmed her mother, Hue Lin ran toward Li Lian and held her hand softly. Please, Jie Jie, the person in the video is not you, right?".
As she finishes her hypocrite worry, Hue Lin smirks as she slowly whisper to Li Lian with a low voice so that her father and mother would not hear her "See, they believe me more than you, Sister, I have been shadowed by you all this time, but remember, you are only a long-lost daughter that had just been found! I’m the original young mistress of this house!"
Hue Lin pushed herself down suddenly and acted as if Li Lian pushed her. " Jie Jie..." she continued to cry meekly.
"Hue Lin! Are you alright!!" asked her mother, and she glared again at Li Lian.
When she saw Hue Lin pushed by Li Lian, her father screamed in anger, " Li Lian, this is the last time you step in this house, from now on you are not my daughter anymore!!"
Looking at her birth parents, Li Lian was shocked, even though she wasn’t raised by them m Li Lian was still their daughter, and yet they didn’t even want to hear her words.
They would never hear her explanation, and the fact that she was accused and trapped by Hue Lin, the fact that he hires people to kidnap her and force her to take and inject drugs, the fact that she nearly died! Whatever she says now, everything would sound like a lame excuse. They would never believe her-
Li Lian walked out of the house and took her car keys out from her pocket. Just as she was about to step into her car, the man she loves stood in front of her with a dark expression. "He Chang Min," Li Lian called his name with a bright expression as if she had just found her only ray of light.
But soon, her bright expression faded as she saw the person beside He Chang Min. Hue Lin hugged his arm and hid her crying face on his chest.
"Li Lian... I’m sorry, I..."Before He Chang Min finished, Hue Lin tugged his hand and spoke.
"No, Min-ge, I’m the one who’s sorry, I’m sorry, Jie Jie, I love him! We decided to be together, please give us your blessing!" Hue Lin wipes her tears sorrowfully.
Seeing Hue Lin's tears, He Chang Min felt a need to protect Hue Lin, " No, it’s not your fault, I’m the one who loves you, and Li Lian, you should understand, we need to break up".
Hue Lin hides her smirks behind her sad and self-blaming face. Now, even your man is mine, your family, and everything that was once yours is now mine!’ Hue Lin smiled at Li Lian without being seen by Chang Min.
Looking at both people flaunting their love in front of her face, she didn’t feel sad, disappointed, or angry; instead, she could only feel disgust.
Li Lian thought to herself, ’Even though I gave you everything...This is how you treat me back, Chang Min? All this time...All those sweet words you whisper to me...How stupid...How stupid I was to believe you.’
"Then be sure to be happy." Li Lian replied with a scornful expression.
Seeing Li Lian’s unchanging expression, Hue Lin frowned, ’Why is this b*tch not crying? ...Ah!- Perhaps she was too surprised to even cry!’ Hue Lismiledle in satisfaction as she finally brought destruction to her blood-related sister.
Li Lian continued and went inside the car. Quickly, Li Lian starts the car engine and quickly drives away from the place where all her kindness was betrayed and stepped on. Amid her chaos and heartache, Li Lian only has one last person that she could rely on, that is her foster mother.
Li Lian’s foster mother is the only person that had always supported her since she arrived in China. The only person who was kind to her without any restraint. Now that she’s in an utter state of desperation, her foster mother is her last pillar-
After a few minutes of driving, suddenly her phone rings. She puts on her headphones and answers the ca.ll.
"Is this the family of Yue Xiaoli?"
Li Lian felt a sense of foreboding creep out from the corner of her heart as she answered, "Yes, I’m her daughter."
"Miss, there was a fire at your mother’s house, and now she is at the Chen hospital, she is in a critical condition right now."
Li Lian’s heart sank from the news, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and her voice began to tremble. "W-What?Chen Hospital? Yes, I will be going there right now."
Li Lian rubs her eyes, which are glazed with water. Although she was very worried about her mother, Li Lian’s car pace was not that fast after all; she could not possibly risk her life in an accident before meeting her mother.
’It’s weird...’ Li Lian thought, ’The accident that happened to Momm is too coincidental! It’s suspicious!’ However, the only person who has this much grudge and power to do this...’ Is it Hue Lin?’
"No way...Is it possible...Did all this happen because of Hue Lin?" Li Lian’s eyes gglazewith rage. She could accept what happened to her...but! Hue Lin had closed the line! She can’t back down now! Li Lian swore in her heart, ’Hue Lin, even though you are my sister...I will not forgive you!’
Suddenly, a light flashed on her right side. She looked at it, and ’BAM’, a truck came crashing into her.
Before she closed her eyes, so many things flashed through her mind, her memory, the beautiful, the sad, and the time when she was betrayed by Isis, , I amam I going to die? I still need to do my revenge on her! I don’t want to die, Mom, how about her? I swear I would do my revenge on her even if I became a ghost, even if I have to crawl back from the depths of hell!’ Slowly, she closes her eyes and her consciousness drifts away.
Yue Li Lian opened her eyes slowly, as she raised her body, she felt sluggish as if her body was not her own. Her body felt stiff, and she couldn’t move as she wanted. Li Lian rubbed her blurry eyes and sat on the bed. Her mind was in chaos, and she didn’t know what had happened or where she was.
While holding her aching head, Li Lian thought, ’Wasn’t I in an accident? Didn’t I die? This doesn’t seem like hell or heaven. What happens? I was in an accident and I..- Mom! That’s right! Mom was in an accident!’ Li Lian abruptly removed everything around her and stood up as she remembered that her mother was in an accident.
Li Lian walked, and she leaned her trembling body against the wall to support herself as she walked. Only a single thought resided on her mind, driving her body ’I need to see mom! ’
Even with her legs that trembled madly, Li Lian still walked toward the door desperately. Suddenly, a pang of agonizing headache struck her head, her body tilted to the side, nearly falling harshly down to the floor.
Li Lian shut her eyes tightly, but rather than the pain she should’ve received from the fall, a strong arm caught her body swiftly.
As Li Lian opened her eyes, fluttering, curved eyelashes-
Another pair of light-colored eyes interlocked with hers. Gazing into the eyes, Li Lian felt as if her soul was being called in by those pair of eyes.
Li Lian’s heart raced loudly as if it were about to burst. Flowers bloom upon her heart like spring; she couldn’t understand why, but her eyes couldn’t move their gaze away from his.
The man exhaled in relief, knowing that he was able to save Li Lian from the fall at the right time. Slowly, he raised Li Lian’s body and helped her steady herself with his arm.
The man who helped her had a magnificent pair of light-colored brown eyes, charming features that had a tinge of coldness, nd skin as pure as jade.
"Li Lian." The man called her name. Unlike the coldness of his face, the man’s voice was warmer than she expected. Hearing his warm voice, fluffy feelings seep through her heart. Slowly, her worries, anxiety, and burdens ease just by hearing his voice.
"Yo...You, who are you?" Li Lian felt her voice was sore and coughed a bit before she continued to ask.
When the man heard her cough, He frowned in worry. "Excuse me." He says as he knelt and raised his hand to carry Li Lian’s body toward the hospital’s bed. Seeing her line of vision titling, Li Lian’s expression froze.
Flustered, Li Lian asked, "W-What are..."She turned her head and looked in the direction he was going, and stopped her question. ’Oh- So he’s helping me to go back to the bed...’
The man pushed the button near her bed and called the doctor. He patted her head before taking a seat on the sofa. Wait for a bit," he said.
Less than a minute after the man called the doctor. A group of doctors quickly came to her room while wiping their nonexistent cold sweats. If someone looked at their expression as they dashed inside Li Lian’s room, people would surely think that they were chased by a fierce ghost.
About 7 doctors gathered in the room. All of them shared the same worried and scared expression as they saw who was sitting on the sofa.
Without a word, the man cast a glance at them, giving them a silent order.
Following the man’s order, the doctors took a turn to check on Li Lian. Startled or confused, Li Lian didn’t do anything and froze up at the spot while looking at the man. After a few minutes, one of the doctors, who seemed to be the leader of the doctors, walked to the man and started his report.
"Mister Li, the madam’s condition has miraculously improved! For the future, she only needs rehabilitation for her movement. Also, she still has a few other check-ups later." The doctor kept on wiping his sweat with a dark expression as if he were afraid of the man in front of him.
The man’s expression remained unchanged, unlike the warm eyes that had gazed on Li Lian a few minutes ago; his eyes turned cold and vacant, like a pair of black obsidians.
Quietly, the man nodded and waved his hand. As soon as they saw his hand, the doctor took their tails between their legs and ran from the room in a blink.
The man turned his face. Li Lian, who was gazing at his face from a while ago, met his eyes. Seeing her eyes that were fixed on him, the man let out a faint warm smile.
He stood from his chair and walked toward Li Lian. Under the sunlight that reflected on the golden ring on his fingers, a gold-colored light flashed. Li Lian couldn’t help but notice the sparkling ring on his hand and realized another golsparkler on her finger. She looked at the golden ring on her hand that had the same design as the man's in confusion.
While processing what had happened in her mind, a warm voice came from the man.
"Yue Li Lian, I’m Li Jun Wei, and also your husband."
