Chapter 977 - You Think You're So Good!
Chapter 977: You Think You’re So Good!
Shen Qianshu knew that her heart was already twisted.
“If you really loved my father to his guts, why did you marry someone else and even give birth to Second Brother and Sixth Brother? Second Brother is also so much older than me.” Shen Qianshu replied. This did not make sense at all. Black Rose did not try to fight for him, and neither did she kill Mom.
“They are mistakes!” Black Rose was furious. “I only married Gu Chun’s brother to take revenge on Gu Chun and Fang Hongxiu.”
“You really are crazy. Unreasonable.”
Shen Qianshu really could not understand what was going on in Black Rose’s head.
“You aren’t me. How would you understand what I have been through?” Black Rose’s chest expanded and contracted. She had finally found someone to vent out all about the hatred she had been keeping deep down in her heart. She felt extremely great. “If it weren’t for that accident where so many people died, I would have… turned Ghost City into history.”
“I heard that Second Brother’s dad only died trying to save my father.” Shen Qianshu said. “So, it means that you failed at trying to set Ghost City up and instead caused the death of so many people. What a great mother you are.”
Her words were all sarcastic.
How sad would Sixth Brother and Second Brother be if they knew the truth?
“So what?” Black Rose said. “I have no regrets at all.”
“Of course you don’t regret,” Shen Qianshu said. “So many people died. You must be so happy.”
Black Rose said, “You don’t know. This is far from enough! I want Ghost City to become history. This alone is never enough. So, even if I am lucky to not have died, I made my family cover up for me and pretend that I am dead. I was planning to have Gu Yuanli and Gu Xie grow up by Gu Chun’s side and have Gu Chun raise them into adults for me. In the end, I would have the two kids kill him. That is what would make me feel the happiest.”
“Oh, it’s such a pity that Second Brother doesn’t listen to you,” Shen Qianshu said. She felt really good too. “This revenge is your own matter and your own hatred. You dragged your children into it. You clearly aren’t a good mother.”
“Who wants to give birth to his children? I just want to kill them,” Black Rose said, “Afterward, I kept hiding and changing my name. Aventura found something fishy about me and stalked me very closely. If it weren’t for the fact that the Ye Family’s issues bothered her, she should have known all of that very clearly long before. I should thank the Ye Family. Aventura and I are considered cousins anyway. Our lives are equally tragic.”
“So, back then when my Mom had me, you were also the mastermind behind all that happened in Ghost City.”
“Indeed. I wanted to kill you. I wanted to kill you before Fang Hongxiu and let her know how it feels like to lose someone she deeply loves. She’s too active. She actually got away and even gave birth to a child. She had actually hidden the truth from every single person on Earth and used a dead baby to cheat everyone.”
“I actually believed it. I believed that the dead child was her child. Fang Hongxiu went into a coma, and I felt really great.” Black Rose continued.
Shen Qianshu said, “But after all these years, you never killed Mom.”
“I wanted to kill her, but I changed my mind.”
Shen Qianshu nodded. “Right, you changed your mind. It’s just not worth it to kill her. Looks would age, and a man’s heart would change. You made my Mom fall into a deep sleep all this time, hoping that my father would change his heart. In fact, you probably wanted Mom to wake up and face her entirely changed family. A family that had long changed their hearts. This would be your biggest revenge on my mother. So, you made her fall in deep sleep all this time. If my father had changed his heart and fallen for another woman, you would let her wake up and face everything in life. Am I right?”
“Hahahahaha…” Black Rose laughed hysterically. It was a laugh that showed that she was really pleased. “Right. You are so right. 100% correct. I am waiting for Gu Chun to change his heart. I want Fang Hongxiu to know that men cannot be trusted. I want her to have a taste of what it feels like when a man changes his heart. I want her to know how it feels when all her beliefs become unrecognizable.”
This was the most vicious way anyone could ruin a person’s mind.
She waited.
For the past twenty-odd years, she had always been waiting.
Sadly, Gu Chun never gave her the opportunity.
Shen Qianshu felt sorry for her parents even more. She also admired them. Mom had been bed-ridden for twenty-odd years, and Pa’s feelings for her never changed. How rare it was for such a kind of relationship. It defeated Black Rose and made her increasingly anxious and vicious.
Black Rose lost her ability to know when to draw the line. That was why her plan was flawed.
“My dad only has feelings for my mom. The love is as firm as a rock. So, you are destined to never get what you want,” Shen Qianshu said. “So, you said that my dad already had an arranged marriage with you at the start… I don’t believe it anymore. He is not the kind of person who would cheat. Don’t even think of trying to ruin his reputation in front of me.”
“He is a cheater.”
“Wake up. This is just you. Your hatred and your one-sided love. Who knows? My dad might not even remember…”
Black Rose raised up her hand and slapped Shen Qianshu again.
She was having a fever, so she was already weak. Black Rose’s strength was really strong, and it hit Shen Qianshu so hard that she saw stars. She felt as if her ears had gone deaf. A sharp sound rang in her ears, and she clenched her teeth.
Controlling.
She had to bear with it.
Shen Qianshu said, “He doesn’t remember who you are.”
‘Since it is so, I will let him remember,” Black Rose said. “He cheated on me, and I want him to know the consequences of doing so. Nobody dares to roam around so freely after offending me. I won’t let him continue roaming around like that.”
“Haven’t you tortured him enough?” Shen Qianshu said. “For the past twenty-odd years, he always watched my mom lying down. To him, it hurts his heart every single day, and that is the biggest punishment for him. He thought that everything is his fault and that he was the reason Mom got into a coma.”
“It basically is his fault.”
“No, it is your fault,” Shen Qianshu said. “Stop trying to drive your viciousness onto other people. Your viciousness is way beyond imagination. Black Rose, the person you want to torture most is my mom, not my dad. You wanted her love to be ruined. You want her dreams to perish. You want to torture her.”
So, now, Black Rose was here to torture her.
“Right. So what?”
Shen Qianshu thought, It isn’t much.
“You have to know that as a human living in the world, 80-90% of the time is filled with unhappiness. Some people have a lot of things, and their careers are going great. Yet, they may have lost their loved ones for a long time, causing regret for a lifetime. Some people have a happy marriage, but their careers never progress. Some people clearly seize the opportunities, but they pass by them. No one can do everything perfectly. My parents have been working hard for half a lifetime. You are too. All of you live a tragedy. Letting go of each other is better than tormenting each other.”
Black Rose said, “You want me to let it go? Fat hope.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Perhaps this is a silly wish, but if everyone takes a step back, the world would be a better place. If you understood that earlier, your life would have been different.”
“I don’t need the world to be a better place. I believe an eye for an eye,” Black Rose said. “Your mom has let me down. Your dad has let me down. So, you will be their substitute and repay their debt. If you are lucky enough to win and become my puppet, I will make your mother wake up and take a good look at her daughter. I’d let her see what kind of days her daughter is having with Black Rose. If you die unluckily, then your corpse would probably be unrecognizable by then. It will be sent to your mother so she can have one last look. This is probably the greatest form of… kindness I have for you.”
Shen Qianshu laughed. “Is it okay if I don’t thank you?”
Black Rose stared at her.
A huge load of old events was brought up clearly through the conversation between these two people. Shen Qianshu’s questions had finally been answered.
“What happened to your face?” Shen Qianshu asked. “It can’t be… my mom who caused it?”
