Mu Shicang was finally defeated. Yang Shushu sent Ling Xiao to the hospital. Ling Xiao didn't say a word on the way. He had been observing the changes in Yang Shushu. If it were in the past, she would have burst into tears when encountering such a situation, but now she was just calm, neither laughing nor crying, as if the impact of this incident on her was not as deep as everyone thought.
After arriving at the hospital and undergoing a series of tests, Yang Shushu spoke her first words only after the doctor said there was nothing serious.
"Brother Ling, I'm sorry. He can be emotionally unstable sometimes. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao's heart sank. "You... apologize on his behalf? Why?"
Yang Shushu tilted her head and looked at him strangely: "Why? What why?"
Ling Xiao was a little anxious, and he started coughing again. Yang Shushu was startled and wanted to call a doctor, but he stopped her: "Shushu, why did you apologize on his behalf? After he lied to you like this, and even used you for revenge, do you still want to be with him?"
Yang Shushu looked down at her held hand, took a step back, and smiled: "Brother Ling, he was indeed wrong today. I will ask him to apologize to you in person another day. As for the matter between us... I will handle it."
She spoke politely and distantly, clearly telling Ling Xiao that this matter had nothing to do with him. Ling Xiao's heart was like a knife being cut by a knife, and he twitched in pain. He looked at her, begging a little: "Shushu, you know how I feel about you... why are you still running away? Can't you see it? Mu Shicang doesn't love you, he's just using you. It's already like this, do you still want to cling to illusions and hurt yourself?"
Yang Shushu suddenly looked up and looked into his eyes: "Ling Xiao, do you think I am still the same me?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at her blankly for a while, and finally shook his head.
Yang Shushu nodded. "Since I'm no longer the same as I was before, why are you so sure that I'll be covered in wounds? I might be sad if he doesn't love me, but love isn't the only thing in this world, right? I have parents and brothers, and there are still many things I want to do but haven't done yet. Why should I be so hard on myself?"
She sat down beside the bed again and looked at Ling Xiao very seriously: "Brother Ling, people grow up. I am no longer the Yang Shushu who is devoted to love. I understand the preciousness of life and how to live better. We are already in the past. Your concern should not be used on me. When one day I know that Mu Shicang no longer loves me, I can get over it on my own. I don't need anyone else. What I say... do you understand?"
Ling Xiao was stunned. What was there to not understand? She was simply telling him that their past was already here. No matter what he did, there would be no ending. Even if she was hurt by Mu Shicang, she didn't need him, and she wouldn't look back.
"After all... it was me who missed it... back then... if I hadn't left, would our ending be different?" He smiled helplessly, but he could no longer raise his head to look into her eyes, because he was afraid that he would fall into obsession again.
Yang Shushu thought about it and decided that if it were her, she wouldn’t do that.
But if it was the original body - then she would have no chance to become Yang Shushu, and the original body would definitely choose him.
She couldn't answer. If she answered, they would have a different ending, which would be equivalent to giving Ling Xiao another hope.
If he answered, they would still have come to this point, and she would feel sorry for her original self.
In the end, she could only choose to remain silent.
………………
This was an exhausting day for Yang Shushu. The truth was just a simple sentence, but the impact it had on people's hearts could not be described in one sentence.
Reason told her that Mu Shicang had not originally taken advantage of her.
But the fact is, she is now Yang Shushu, and Mu Shicang has never told her the truth even though he knows about the Ji family. He just keeps telling her not to leave him no matter what happens.
if--
She imagined that if Mu Shicang had told her about her life experience and the grudge between him and the Ji family in advance, she felt that she would stand on his side unconditionally. After all, to her, the Ji family was actually a stranger.
However, he chose to lie. In such a situation, even though she could clearly feel his love, she was not confident.
If he really loves me, why doesn't he believe me?
If he really loved me, why would he come so close to let me know the truth?
If he really loved me—
There are thousands of what-ifs, but ultimately there is no answer.
Yang Shushu never knew that she was such a conflicted person.
Most people like to drink to relieve their sorrow when they are sad, but no one knows that in fact, anything can relieve sorrow, including cola.
Yang Shushu had already drunk three large cups of Coke and felt a little tipsy. She sat on a bench in the community with hazy eyes and looked at the bodyguard standing not far away: "Brother, can you buy me two more Sprites?"
The bodyguard pursed his lips and turned away. However, the moment he turned around, he took out his phone and sent a text message: Boss, the boss lady has already drunk three large cups of Coke and now wants Sprite. What should I do?
The boss replied: Buy her some more barbecue! Do you think she is still angry now?
Bodyguard: I can’t tell. Does the boss lady like to eat spicy food in her barbecue?
Boss: Put less. What do you mean you can’t see it? I asked you to protect her, but you can’t even read her facial expression. What’s the use of you?
bodyguard:……
Yang Shushu didn't know that the bodyguard was betraying her. She sat on the bench looking at the sky, thinking about what to do next. She really fell in love with Mu Shicang, and she didn't want to give up if there was still a possibility for them.
But--
That was the revenge for his parents. He must have spent a lot of time planning this revenge, otherwise he would not have found Yang Shushu before the Ji family. Could he really love her, the daughter of his enemy?
Tsk! How did it become Romeo and Juliet? That's really frustrating!
Yang Shushu didn't want to put on a bloody drama of "you lied to me, I hate you". She was a little shocked at first, but later she just felt a little uncertain and unconfident.
If it was just other grudges, she wouldn't care. Anyway, she had nothing to do with the Ji family, and she didn't care about her relationship with the Ji family.
But this matter concerns Mu Shicang's parents. She knew very well how much Mu Shicang cared about his parents and how persistent he was in this hatred. Now, whenever she thought of the time when she woke up and he pinched her neck and said he hated her, she felt that this matter was too difficult to deal with.
Regardless of whether she is willing to accept the Ji family or not, it is certain that her body is flowing with the blood of the Ji family. This bloodline is tied to the blood of Mu Shicang's parents. How can she have the nerve to ask him not to mind?
If this happened to her, she wouldn't mind, right?
But--
