Chapter 455: Youli, Don’t Be Like This
"No, it's not suitable?" Chi Mingchu repeated with a trembling voice and a strong tone, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, and he couldn't stop them.
How could such cruel words come out of Ji Youli's mouth? Their relationship was so good before, why did it change all of a sudden? She even received a brooch from him on her coming-of-age ceremony...
No, no, she must be hallucinating.
Chi Mingchu struggled to grab Ji Youli's sleeve and asked desperately: "Did I hear it wrong? Youli."
Ji Youli lowered his eyes and looked at her slightly trembling fingers. A hint of emotion flashed across his cold face, but more of it was determination.
Since they are destined not to be together, don't give her hope.
He slowly and cruelly pried open Chi Mingchu's fingers one by one, pulled back his sleeves, and stepped away from her.
Chi Mingchu burst into tears and tried to grab his sleeve while crying.
Seeing that Chi Mingchu couldn't let go, Ji Youli simply said clearly: "You heard it right, there will be no result between us."
After he finished speaking, Chi Mingchu stood there in a daze, staring at him blankly, his hand frozen in mid-air, unable to reach forward or retract it. Although it was June, a hot season, she felt as if she was thrown into an icy cave.
There was no warmth in his eyes, her heart sank again and again, and her body trembled with cold.
"Yu Li, what did I do wrong? Tell me, I can change it."
Ji Youli opened his mouth, and the words rolled around his lips for a few times, but in the end he couldn't say them.
He disliked her for not working hard enough, and disliked her for always focusing on him. And doesn't he think her current family background is too different?
But can he tell it honestly? Obviously not! Especially the latter two, I always feel something is wrong.
Because you love me so much, I don’t love you?
Because your family is in decline, I have to get rid of you?
But it was impossible to force himself to be with her. Even if he agreed, his father would not be happy for him to marry such a useless woman.
If you can’t tell the real reason, then think of some excuses to make each other less embarrassed: “You didn’t do anything wrong, I just don’t have any feelings for you.”
"Yu Li..." Chi Mingchu covered his mouth and sobbed, unable to even complete his words.
How could I not have any feelings for her? She liked him so much and treated him with all her heart. She cooked for him, ran to Ji's house to find him without respect, and warned the girls who approached him for him.
She wasn't herself anymore.
It is obvious that even though she was trampled like weeds, she was still trying hard to live, and always believed that she could live a decent life. But after meeting him, she started to worry about gains and losses, and was as humble as the mud under his feet.
In the past, she was dismissive of so-called men and only wanted to keep them hanging for benefits, but she was sincere to Ji Youli.
Even if she only occupies a small place in Ji Youli's heart, it would be enough as long as she could stand by his side.
She loved him so blindly and desperately.
Why couldn't he see her love for him?
"Yu Li, why don't you like me? Why don't you like me?"
Ji Youli was in a daze for a few seconds. He had wanted to ask Sheng Beibei this question before: why didn’t she like him? He asked himself if he was sincere towards her.
But, feelings are really hard to understand.
If they say they like something, they like it; if they say they don’t like something, they don’t like it. There is no logic at all.
Anyway, he would never admit that he was not as good as Gu Yanchuan, no matter how hard he tried!
"Love can't be forced, so let's part ways in peace." After saying that, Ji Youli turned around and was about to leave. She can't accept it now, but she will slowly see through it, just like him in the beginning.
Chi Mingchu collapsed and shouted, "Is it because of Sheng Beibei?"
Ji Youli paused. Chi Mingchu was in a very bad mood right now. What if he blamed Sheng Beibei and went on to provoke her? Chi Mingchu did not have a history of bullying Sheng Beibei.
Chi Mingchu thought that Ji Youli had been hit on the truth by what she said, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was even more painful than being tortured to death by slow slicing.
"Why? Why do you like her? You know we are sworn enemies."
"It's none of Sheng Beibei's business." Ji Youli turned around and looked at Chi Mingchu seriously, "Even if she wasn't there, I wouldn't like you."
Chi Mingchu didn't believe it at all: "You are lying!"
"In fact, you have been in love with Sheng Beibei for a long time. At school, you have approached her countless times, saying that you like her and asking her to forgive you. You even pestered Sheng Beibei a few days before our engagement was announced."
"Just now, weren't you staring at her? Even though she was in another man's arms."
Thinking of the scene of Sheng Beibei smiling like a flower in Gu Yanchuan's arms, Ji Youli's blood boiled and he sneered, "Enough!"
If it were in the past, Chi Mingchu would definitely shut up, but now they were all about to be finished, so why would he care so much? If she doesn't express her grievances, she will explode sooner or later.
"Youli, I am your legitimate fiancée. Sheng Beibei took everything from me. Why did you fall in love with her?"
Ji Youli's face was tense: "Sheng Beibei has never taken anything from you."
Instead, it was the Chi family that harmed Sheng Beibei severely, and Chi Mingchu also bullied Sheng Beibei. Now Chi Mingchu even has the nerve to say that Sheng Beibei took away everything from her. What is she thinking?
Chi Mingchu didn't care. She only knew that Sheng Beibei had been the eldest daughter of the Chi family for more than ten years in her place, and had also taken the position of Ji Youli's fiancée.
"I have always been your fiancée. Sheng Beibei is just a substitute, but she is the only one in your heart. Why are you so cruel to me? Youli, I beg you not to do this to me."
Ji Youli interrupted her: "I'll say it one last time, it has nothing to do with Sheng Beibei, don't go looking for trouble with her."
These words were not only out of concern for Sheng Beibei, but also for Chi Mingchu.
After all, Sheng Beibei is no longer the poor adopted daughter of the Chi family. If Chi Mingchu dares to bully her like before, he will go bankrupt in minutes.
Little did she know that in Chi Mingchu's view, Ji Youli was warning her just for Sheng Beibei.
She looked painful, and her tone was vague, with a bit of self-mockery: "Do you like Sheng Beibei so much? Are you willing to threaten me for her?"
"Just calm down." Ji Youli was too lazy to argue with her anymore. This person was just too stubborn and didn't know how to think flexibly.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't listen to the advice, because she will be the one who suffers in the end anyway.
Ji Youli turned around and left resolutely. Chi Mingchu panicked and tried to follow him, but he accidentally fell and scraped his wrists and knees.
She looked up at Ji Youli for help.
"Yu Li..."
However, Ji Youli just paused slightly, without even turning his head, and slowly disappeared completely from her world.
Chi Mingchu knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.
It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this.
