Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 683 - Why are You Looking for Me?



Chapter 683: Why are You Looking for Me?

Whatever substitution and promise, that was all bullsh*t. All she knew was that the feelings between her and Chu Lui the past few years were not fake. Recently, she met a few men, but none of them were good enough or as nice to her as compared to Chu Lui

Chu Lui was a tender steak that was well done while the others were all cow bones which would not budge no matter how hard she bit. Perhaps, there would be a bit of flavor at the start; but towards the end, they were mere bone leftovers. She had no urge to even bite on the bone.

Besides, anyone could be Chu Lui’s woman, except for Xia Ruoxin.

Shen Yijun was in a daze again. She looked for a very long time, and yet she could not find a single thing related to her daughter. She seemed to have thrown them all away herself.

The curtains were pulled tightly together, not even a dart of light could enter.

Bang! The door outside was pushed open.

Xia Yixuan walked in.

“How dark.” She despised and directly went to open the curtain. Shen Yijun suddenly returned to her senses as if she was scared of the light and hurriedly went to pull the curtains tight.

“I really don’t know why my Dad married you and let you bring along a bloodsucker.” Xia Yixuan snorted and sat on the chair directly before arranging her sleeves. Anyway, she had already ruined her ties with Shen Yijun so there was no point in pretending.

Shen Yijun laughed coldly. However, when she laughed, the corners of her mouth started to hurt. She touched her mouth and thought it had split and bled, but it was not.

It was the daughter she had loved for the past decade, the daughter she had used her all to love… the daughter she had sacrificed her Xinxin and everything else for. In the end—after so many years of her sincerity and love, it came down to this one sentence.

‘Did not know why Xia Mingzheng had chosen to marry her in the end’.

Yes, she too, did not know why Xia Mingzheng married her in the first place. Perhaps it was really to help bring up his daughter. In the end, he really did find himself a good wife and find his daughter a good stepmother.

This stepmother had ruined her own daughter for this stepdaughter, but what did she get in the end?

“Get out.”

She pointed at the door. She did not want to see Xia Yixuan’s disgusting face anymore.

“Get out?” Xia Yixuan sneered. “Who do you think you are? You eat at my house, drink at my house. Yet, you still want me to get out? This is the Xia household.”

Shen Yijun’s heart hurt again as if all her teeth had broken.

“Yixuan…”

At that time, Xia Mingzheng walked in; and his face darkened. “How can you talk to your mother like that?”

“My mother?” Xia Yixuan stood up and walked in front of Xia Mingzheng. She looked up, and her words were filled with thorns. “Daddy, my mother died a long time ago. This is the woman that you married, but she’s not my mother.”

Once she finished talking, she shut the door with all her might as if the entire world was against her.

“You!” Before Xia Mingzheng could finish talking, Xia Yixuan was already gone.

One was his daughter that made his head ache while the other was his wife to whom he was guilty. Not only Shen Yijun, but even he was suspicious of everything.

“Yijun.” He walked over and hugged his wife’s shoulders.

“Sorry, Yixuan’s still young.”

Yeah, she’s still young…” Shen Yijun rattled on as if subconsciously. “My Xinxin was younger than her four years ago. Did you know? Do you know how much pain my daughter went through just because your Yixuan is still young? To take revenge for your Yixuan that’s still young, Chu Lui destroyed my daughter’s life and gave her away to someone else. He caused her to be impotent, and he even broke her arm. What about me? As her mother, I had even hated my Xinxin with you and tortured my Xinxin, my daughter…

“I’m not a human. I’m inhumane. Say, do you think I’m still a human? Why… I want to avoid you both, but why do you two keep appearing beside me? No matter where I go, you would follow me and your daughter that’s still small.”

She turned around and smiled bitterly. The wrinkles at the corner of her eyes were worse than before, and she had much more white hair. Still young? Just because of that one sentence, she could hurt people whenever she wished?

“Mingzheng, say.” She suddenly turned around and grabbed Xia Mingzheng’s arm and had even pinched into his skin.

“Tell me. When you married me, was it because you wanted me to take care of your daughter?”

“I…” Xia Mingzheng could not answer this question. Sometimes, the truth hurt. When he married Shen Yijun back then, it was truly for Xia Yixuan; and she did make him satisfied. She treated his daughter better than her own. Back then, he really thanked his lucky stars that he had married the right person so he could safely entrust his daughter to her. As for Xia Ruoxin, he knew it all along; but humans were all selfish. Naturally, he wanted the best for his daughter; and as for Xia Ruoxin, he had never seen her as his daughter.

Just that, it was too painful to talk about this now.

Currently, whatever flaws Xia Ruoxin had, it was all related to him. He had no guts to say and no more pride left to face Shen Yijun. The past decade of living together… perhaps it was really for his daughter at the start. However, in the end, he really did care for her with all his heart.

Just that, how could he answer this now? How could he face it?

“I…” He repeated but still could not answer the question.

“Don’t need to say anymore. I understand.” Shen Yijun did not want to hear the answer. She turned around and her back at Xia Mingzheng. Ever since Xia Yixuan came back, everything had changed.

It changed completely.

“Rest well.” Xia Mingzheng pulled the blanket on Shen Yijun and sighed heavily. However, he did not know; but Shen Yijun already cried till her face was drenched.

If she had another chance, how great would that be? She would rather bring her Xinxin up on her own and become a poor mother and daughter than become alone right now after betraying her family. After working hard for the past decade or so, what did she get in the end? What exactly did she manage to keep a hold on?

It was here. Xia Ruoxin stopped in front of a restaurant.

She walked in and as expected, she found the person she was looking for and the person that invited her inside.

She sat down. Perhaps she had long lost all feelings for him, and her heart had stopped.

“Ruoxin, you’re here.”

Again, Xia Mingzheng felt that time passed too quickly. It turned out that the girl who had followed Shen Yijun into the Xia household had already grown up.

“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin pressed her lips tightly against each other. Actually, there was nothing much to say; and she did not want to think about it at all.

“Mr. Xia, why are you looking for me?”

Xia Mingzheng shook his head and laughed bitterly. “Ruoxin, would you not even call me Uncle anymore?”

“Are we related?” Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes slightly. What Uncle? She did not even have a mother so why would she have an uncle?
