Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Who Failed Whom? The Cruel Truth
Everyone over here was eating cooked dishes, while Liu Sisi and Liu Zhi’er stared at each other.
Old Man Li hadn’t been brought back, and Liu Sisi didn’t know what to say.
“Why aren’t you speaking? Weren’t you very talkative this morning?” In the end, it was Liu Zhi’er who spoke first.
Liu Sisi raised her head and glanced at her, “We are always sisters. Like I said, I don’t remember what happened in the past, so why do you have to be so sarcastic and mocking?”
At this remark, Liu Zhi’er choked, the mockery on her face gradually receding as she looked at Liu Sisi and said nothing.
Liu Sisi’s words were heavy, “Even if we had disputes when we were back at our parents’ home, so what? If Second Sister’s life isn’t good, could I, being the younger sister, still be proud of it?”
Her words changed Liu Zhi’er’s expression, who suddenly covered her face with her hands and began to sob again.
“Second sister! Old Man Li is dead! Let all the past events go with his death! Let’s look forward and live our lives, okay? Second sister…”
Liu Sisi moved forward a couple of steps, fearing to startle her, and slowly hugged her as she sobbed, “Second sister! Second sister…”
“Sisi…”
Liu Zhi’er took the opportunity to hug her, and the two sisters cried together.
After crying together, the initial estrangement between the sisters disappeared, and the two wiped away each other’s tears and laughed together.
“Come, the floor is cold, let’s sit on the head of the bed and chat.”
After all, Liu Zhi’er was the second elder sister, and her first reaction was about caring for her younger sister. They lay side-by-side on the head of the bed, looking at each other with relief.
“Sisi, you’ve grown up. Compared to me, who is a second elder sister, you are more like an elder sister now.” Liu Zhi’er gently stroked her hair and sighed.
“Second sister, how old are you this year?”
“Why did you suddenly think of asking this question? Second sister is old, 18 years old now, and two years older than you.” Liu Zhi’er was thoughtful.
Calling herself old at the age of 18?
Diagonal lines filled Liu Sisi’s head!
She was too embarrassed to say that she had lived a full 23 years in her previous life, although most of them were spent in school, that she was much older than Liu Zhi’er.
“But I’m married too, where can I still be considered young?”
Liu Sisi hurriedly retorted.
Liu Zhi’er thought for a moment and laughed!
“Yes, Sisi is married too! I still remember the last time we sisters had such a conversation, and it was before I got married…”
As soon as the past was mentioned, the smile on Liu Zhi’er’s face disappeared.
Liu Sisi thought for a moment and hurriedly shifted Liu Zhi’er’s attention, “Second sister, do you know the inside story of my marriage? I heard from others that I had a previous marriage contract, but how did I get involved with… someone else and then get married to the Di family?”
She had always wanted to ask this question, but she had been unable to find anyone who knew the inside story.
“Are you talking about your thing with the young man from the Zuo Family? That arrogant jerk dumped you. You don’t have to bother with him. Anyway, you two won’t meet again in the future. You…”
“Wait, wait, wait… Second sister, what did you just say? You mean, Zuo Xingyu dumped me?…”
Liu Sisi was so surprised that she pointed at herself!
Zuo Xingyu dumping her, how is that possible? Weren’t they both…
Liu Zhi’er snorted coldly, “Well, of course! Not to mention that Zuo Xingyu’s family is poor, but he got a job as a constable in the government office and naturally looked down on our humble household! I don’t know much about the details, but I know that he came to you first and asked you to take the initiative to end the marriage. When you didn’t agree, the situation was quite intense. Dad called my elder sister and me back because of this, and that’s how I came to know about this.”
“So… there was such a thing…”
Liu Sisi’s brain couldn’t react to it at all! The truth of the matter was too cruel, her brain malfunctioned, and she couldn’t accept it.
She had always thought that the original owner had voluntarily ended the marriage, which was why she had been so apologetic to Zuo Xingyu and wanted to avoid him!
No wonder!
No wonder Zuo Xingyu’s expression was so strange at that time! He must have been constantly mocking her in his heart, right?
As she thought about it, Liu Sisi’s mind filled with anger. That damned Zuo Xingyu was as insidious as the first impression he gave her!
“What about me that he didn’t like and wanted to end the marriage?”
This was said with gritted teeth by Liu Sisi!
“What else could it be? It’s just that he fancied Lord County Magistrate’s daughter! He’s delusional about rising to the top in one step. Little did he know that the County Magistrate wouldn’t even look at him and married his daughter to his direct boss. Haha! He ended up with nothing in the end on both sides.” Liu Zhi’er said mockingly.
Then, turning her head, she said, “But you swore to marry into a wealthy family and live a good life to piss him off! Not long after, I heard that you and Zhang… got together.”
“What do you mean ‘got together’? Second sister, do you even think of me like that? When I married into the Di family… I was a pure and innocent girl.”
Although this was embarrassing to say, Liu Sisi understood that this reputation couldn’t be easily messed with.
A look of surprise flashed in Liu Zhi’er’s eyes. Apparently, she did not expect Liu Sisi to be still…
“Why didn’t you say that at the time?”
“What can I say? I don’t remember the past. How can I know?” Liu Sisi was helpless too.”
Based on what her second sister implied, the original owner probably took the initiative to seduce the so-called Businessman Zhang!
It’s no wonder that Zhang what’s-his-name said that she had changed!
Liu Zhi’er thought about it, nodded, and shook her head, “I haven’t been back to my mother’s home for a long time. If it weren’t for Li… that jerk mentioning you, I wouldn’t even know you had gotten married. My home isn’t peaceful either, I…” Her words carried much regret.
Liu Sisi couldn’t help but get angry!
“Second sister, do you still recognize that home? They’ve treated you like this. How can that be considered as having any affection for you? You…”
Liu Zhi’er’s expression darkened, her eyes grew red again!
Liu Sisi choked on the second half of her words, unable to say anything!
Liu Zhi’er quickly turned her face away, struggling not to cry out loud, “I’ve come to this point, who else can I follow?”
“Who to follow? Naturally, it’s finding someone who truly loves you! You’re still so young, there’s no need for you to lay your heart so bare for someone like him who lacks hands and a conscience!”
Liu Sisi’s words were heavy!
She hated seeing such compromising women the most!
If Di Yelei dared to treat her like this, she would have kicked him away and looked for someone else!
Even if her thoughts were too shocking and unconventional for this time, she didn’t want to be as wronged as Liu Zhi’er!
