Chapter 290.4: Just Before Parting
Qing Yu had come to know quite a bit about the past grievances between her mother and Qing Luo Yan from Lou Jun Yao’s mouth but she had never known that the two sisters had actually been so close to each other once before.
But how did the two of them then become enemies who sought to take each other’s lives in the end?
“I was similarly repulsed by my other siblings who put on a false sanctimonious and dignified front but would secretly do completely different things behind my back and so I became closer and closer to this youngest sister of mine. We were so close that there were no secrets between us, and we could even share everything we had with each other.”
A twitch tugged at the corner of Qing Yu’s brow, like she could almost guess what Qing Luo Yan was going to tell her next.
As she thought, Qing Luo Yan suddenly laughed softly when she spoke up till that point before she continued: “But in the end, no one could have thought that the two of us would fall for the same man.”
Had it really been her Father Mo Jing Yu’s appearance that caused the two sisters to turn from friends to foes?
Qing Yu could not help but sigh inwardly in her heart when she heard that unrequited love really brings one a lot of trouble!
But Qing Yu had never expected that Qing Luo Yan’s words following that would turn out completely different from what she had imagined.
“I loved that man very much, and it could be said that my heart only had eyes for him alone. You will not understand how difficult it was for a person as haughty and aloof as me to be able to love someone. That was the case for me to come to love him, and to have grown to love her as well.”
“The two most important people in my life were together, and that was while she knew that I was in love with that man, but she still got together with him.”
“From that moment on, I began to feel that I hated her. She betrayed the close relationship that the two of us shared, and betrayed the trust I had in her. I told her that from then onwards, we will no longer be sisters, but just strangers in passing.”
“I felt like I was very sad, and wanted to hide myself, to nurse my wounds quietly. But not long after that, I suddenly met a person. That person told me that I should not give up as that man belonged to me rightfully, telling me that I should go fight for him because I am in no way inferior to her at all, asking me isn’t that right?”
Upon hearing that, Qing Yu felt a sensitive nerve tense up in her mind. She seemed to have just heard something that was highly crucial, something that could be linked to the entire truth behind everything that had happened in the past.
She could not help but clench her hands up tightly.
“It was as if I was cast under a spell when I decided to go make an attempt to fight for him. I had clearly known that man first and in terms of looks, cultivation and knowledge, I was in no way inferior to my younger sister, so it was only right that he should be in love with me.”
“But I came to discover that I was wrong. When a person does not love you, it can only mean that he doesn’t. No matter how hard I tried, he will never come to love me. He told me, that right from the start, the person he liked had never been me, and he told me to get out of his sight. I was completely heartbroken, and I decided to leave him completely.”
But the mysterious person I met previously appeared all of a sudden, and gave something to me. He told me that I will only need to find a chance to use it on that man and he will then come to love me, and will only love me alone from then on.”
“I struggled with myself for a while, but it was as if I was possessed when the feeling of wanting to have him became frightfully strong and intense. In the end, I really managed to make him fall in love with me.”
