Chapter 835: Xia Yu’s Hatred

Under Wei Wei’s directions, she walked into the guest room.

The guest room was elegantly furnished with dark embossed walls and a burgundy leather sofa. A thin girl was sitting on the leather sofa looking a little haggard in the quiet light.

Xia Ling had a fright. “Xia Yu?”

She couldn’t be blamed for being surprised. The weak yet delicate Xia Yu whom she remembered was completely different from the girl in front of her. Her eye sockets were sunken, her cheekbones were sharp, and her lips were dry. No amount of cosmetics could cover that sort of haggard aging. In a blink of an eye… Xia Yu aged.

How old was she this year?

Xia Ling couldn’t help but wonder. Wasn’t she just 28? Or was she 29? She was not at the age when women turned old. Furthermore, she was wealthy and had all the skincare products in the world.

Why was she in this state?

“What in the world happened to you over the years?” She couldn’t help but ask.

As if she were shocked to see her, Xia Yu’s line of sight moved up from a plant. A little shaken, she stood up and spoke haltingly. “Sister.”

“What did you call me?” Xia Ling thought she had heard her wrong.

“Sister.” Xia Yu said and her tears gushed out without warning. “I know who you are now. You’re my sister Xia Ling, right? Sister, forgive me!”

As she spoke, she collapsed to her knees.

Xia Ling instinctively took a few steps back. To be honest, she was even more shocked that Xia Yu acknowledged her identity and knelt to apologize. At this moment, her feelings were very complicated. There seemed to be no joy or self-satisfaction. She only felt a sense of prolonged exhaustion.

“I’m not your sister.” She said. “I’m Ye Xingling. The rumors about my reincarnation are fake. Do you really believe the gimmicks of the media to create this hype?”

“I believe them! I believe them!” Xia Yu cried and hugged her legs. She raised her head and said, “Sister, I saw the news that you’ve returned to the family. I’ve heard things about the Xia Family. Since the Xia Family Head and The Preceptor already acknowledged you as the reincarnated phoenix, you must be! You must be my sister Xia Ling!”

Xia Ling couldn’t escape with Xia Yu hugging her legs. She sighed silently.

She lowered her head to look at Xia Yu and spoke emotionlessly. “Miss Xia Yu, whether I’m Xia Ling or not, I will never acknowledge you as my sister. After the way you hurt me in my past life and plotted against Shaohui in this life, I really wanted to turn your bones into ash if Shaohui weren’t alive. What right do you have to beg for my forgiveness? Get lost.”

“I understand! I understand!” Xia Yu’s tears flowed down. “Sister, I was wrong in the past. I shouldn’t have treated you or Shaohui that way! However, please let me explain…” She looked miserably at Xia Ling and begged. “Ten years ago, it was my fault for falling hopelessly in love with Brother Ziheng, so I lost all my senses and wanted you dead… Sister, after you died, I realized that I was really regretful. I was really living in regret! I regret not treating you well when you were alive and betrayed you when you needed me the most! You are my only sister and I’ve always treated you as my biological sister! After you died, I realized how important you were to me. I really missed you and wished you could be alive again. I wanted to tell you sorry in person… Really, even in my dreams…”

The more she spoke, the more intensely she sobbed.

There was a slight sour feeling in Xia Ling’s heart. She did not think that she would hear that her sister felt regretful in her lifetime. She remembered many past events in the orphanage. That girl who was always sick shared all her meals with her, shared the smallest piece of candy with her, and even heard all the songs she composed…

She was almost moved.

However, she remembered the buns.

“I remember what you said.” Xia Ling’s voice was a little cold. “You already hated me when you were at the orphanage. You didn’t like to eat meat buns but deliberately told me that you wanted to eat them so that I would fight with the older kids. Every time you saw me beaten up, you would feel really happy. Xia Yu, you hated me since you were a child, right? Don’t blame it on Pei Ziheng.”

“Yes, I didn’t like you since I was young.” Xia Yu was still crying. She raised her hands and slapped her cheeks until they were swollen. “I was insensible when I was younger. I was always jealous when people praised you. Sister, do you know that they never praised me? At that time, I was still a kid. Every day, I was compared with you who was so outstanding. Do you know how that felt?”

Xia Ling fell silent. She never thought about this problem before. She shined as a child and the closest people to her were left in the shadows. No matter what they did, they could not gain the approval of others. What kind of despair was that?

Xia Yu went on, “Sister, I didn’t do it on purpose. I knew that you were good to me. However, I couldn’t control the jealousy and resentment in my heart… At that time, I was young and ignorant. Now, I know that I’m wrong. Sister, can you please forgive me? You can hit me and scold me, but I don’t want to lose you, sister!”

She fumbled around to grab Xia Ling’s hands and held them close to her face.

Xia Ling hastily withdrew her hands and tried her best to escape Xia Yu’s arms. She took a few steps back. “Stop holding on to me.” She coldly said. “Don’t want to lose me? In the past when I didn’t want to lose you, what did you do to me?! When I didn’t want to lose Pei Ziheng, do you remember how you treated me?! In this life when I didn’t want to lose Shaohui, what did you do to him?! Xia Yu, do you think you can salvage the past with your insignificant words? It’s too late… It has been too late a long time ago! You’re lucky that I haven’t tried to hurt you. Quickly get lost.”

Xia Yu shook her head and cried. “Sister… Give me a chance to repent…”

Xia Ling was too lazy to waste her time talking to her and turned around to leave.

Xia Yu hugged her legs again and sobbed. “Sister! I’m begging you! I’m really remorseful! They said that people who offend the phoenix do not have good outcomes and have no family to return to. Please forgive me, ok? I… I really miss home… I want to look for my mom and dad…”

Suddenly, Xia Ling realized that her sister suddenly changed because she wanted to return to the Xia Family.

“I can’t help you with this, Xia Yu. If you knew about this, why did you have to act that way in the past? No matter who asks me, my answer will always be four words: You are not forgiven.” After that, she forcefully pushed Xia Yu away and walked out.

Whether Xia Yu could return home or not had no relation to her.

The sympathy she felt for her sister had been eradicated in her past life. Now, it was already difficult for her to not strike her when she was down. She definitely could not fulfill any of her sister’s wishes and cause herself to suffer a grievance.

Xia Yu, if you knew it would come to this, you would have acted differently.
