Chapter 191: Goodbye…
Huian stared blankly at her father.
Xiang Wei hesitated. “We had planned everything. The contract thing…was fake. They were indeed divorce papers that you signed.”
“What…?”
Xiang Qingge sobbed. “Please forgive us, Huian. But you left us with no choice.”
Her mind was devoid of anything.
“You…my mom and dad…you both plotted against me? Against your daughter? You both…broke my marriage?”
Xiang Wei quickly said, “No, Huian! Please don’t say like we are your enemies. We-“
“IF NOT ENEMIES THEN WHAT!!?” Huian yelled loudly, harshly shaking his hands off. “Which parents in the whole world ruin their child’s marriage!? I-I am your only daughter…Didn’t you always spoil and dote on me? Don’t you love me? Then why!!! Why would you do this!?”
Her eyes became red in tears.
“You know how much I love Jinhai. You know how much I loved him since my childhood! I waited for him all these years. I never dated any other man. I had always dreamed of becoming his wife, Mrs. Liu. So, why? Even when you know my feelings for him, why did you trick me like that!?”
Xiang Wei shut his eyes and lowered his head.
“Parents always want to see their child happy, but you? Both of you snatched mine! You broke my trust! I hate you!” She was mad in rage.
Xiang Qingge said indignantly. “Enough, Huian. Don’t talk disrespectfully to him. He is your father! And trust? Who are you to talk about that? Didn’t you break our trust when you schemed to marry Jinhai? Your whole marriage was a lie. Then how is it that you were right at that time, and we are wrong now?”
“SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! It was not a lie! It was my love for Jinhai! How many times should I tell you!”
Grandma Liu said, “Huian dear, calm down…”
Nana was looking at Jinhai, all panicked. She wanted to come forward, but he signaled her to stay there.
But Huian wasn’t in her senses anymore.
“No…I want my Jinhai back! It’s all because of Nana! I curse the day you came into our lives! You seduced Jinhai! You have ruined my marriage! You are nothing but a gold-digger!”
She looked at Jinhai, her face showing that she had got entirely insane. “Jinhai, you break up with that b*tch right now! I will not let anybody take my place. Mrs. Liu Jinhai can only be me. Y-yes…this is right…you break up with her, and we’ll marry once again…a-and then we’ll be happy once again…”
Jinhai coldly said, “Enough. I have shown my marriage certificate to you and said whatever I wanted to. Now you have to accept it just like how I had to, two years back.’
“N-no Jinhai…listen to me, she has bewitched you. She doesn’t love you. You are being fooled. I am the one who truly loves you.”
Xiang Wei couldn’t take it anymore. “Please Huian, come with us now. Everything is over. Let them live in peace.”
“Peace?” She was laughing hysterically. “What peace? So you think I will let them live happily!? My life, my love, and my marriage is shattered into pieces, and you want me to bear all this while I see Jinhai calling some other woman his wife!?”
Suddenly she blinked, and her sight went onto the thing shining.
It was the ring on Nana’s finger.
She felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife, twisting it ruthlessly.
“Jinhai…You-you gave her a ring? Wedding ring…?”
Nana looked down at the ring that Jinhai put on her.
Jinhai said nothing.
Huian looked at her own finger that was empty. “But you never gave me one…Do you know how long I waited for you to give me my ring? But you never bought a ring for me. And you did for her…?”
Jinhai said, “And I told you that I never gave my heart to you. The ring is a symbol of vows filled with love and promises. I have confessed my love for Nana. That ring is her right. How could I have given a ring to you when I don’t hold any feelings for you?”
Again…
Saying it over and over again that he doesn’t love her.
Her divorce, the red book, and the wedding ring…
Once again, she started laughing maniacally.
“Haha.. hahaha…I will make you all regret this.”
She ran towards the railing and climbed on it.
“Huian!” Xiang Qingge shrieked.
Liu Chunhua and Grandma Liu screamed. “Huian, get down!”
Nana watched in terror.
“Stop! If you don’t want me to jump off from here, then do as I say. If not, then you will see my dead body!”
She was staggering on the railing.
Xiang Wei shouted in panic. “Get down, Huian. You will lose your balance.”
But she only laughed.
Jinhai warned, “Come down, Huian.”
“Nope. Until you agree, I won’t.”
Suddenly, the thing everybody dreaded happened, and she lost her footing. She started to fell backward.
Her eyes widened in horror.
“AHH!!!”
“Huian!!!”
But Jinhai quickly reached and caught her hand. The others stood far behind him so as not to cause an accident with their meddling.
Huian tightly held his hand. She was shivering and trembling. After the adrenaline rush passed over, she looked at him, smiling widely.
“Jinhai…I knew you would come for me. I know you love me. I-“
“Think about these two questions when you will be lying on the hospital bed.” Jinhai cut her off.
“Huh?”
“First, does our exact current situation, at this very moment, remind you of something?”
She looked at him, confused. “What are you-“
“When you’ll get the answer, think about the second question.”
A smile slowly crept on Jinhai’s face as he asked, “Now, do you understand how it feels to be __? I think you will surely figure it out.”
And with that said, he let go of his grasp that Huian was holding onto.
She looked at him in horror as she started to tumble back.
“W-what are you-“
“Goodbye…my ex-wife.”
She was now in mid-air, falling rapidly, and the last thing she saw was Jinhai looking back at her, his lips curled into a sinister smile.
