Chapter 223 - 222: Elder Sister’s Phone Call (8)
Ling Chuxia smiled for a while, and her gaze unintentionally swept over to the mobile phone set aside. As she smiled, her smile slowly faded away, and a trace of sorrow gradually surfaced in her eyes.
She actually envied Ji Xinxin, at least she had the right to choose whether to defy her mother or not when it came to doing things she didn’t like.
But for her, starting from three years ago, she had no room for choice, no room for defiance. No matter how sad, how much she cried, or how wronged she felt, she could only force herself to persevere.
Now... finally, she was able to catch her breath, but the fact remained that she still had no choice, no power to rebel.
Ling Chuxia stared at the phone intently, her hands slowly clenching tighter and tighter, her fingernails digging into her palms, as she involuntarily thought of the phone call with her elder sister.
Since the day she married Shi Che, the day her elder sister was sent abroad, she had been unable to contact her sister, nor had her sister contacted her. She knew it was Mrs. Shi’s command, but she still felt indignant, so she had secretly tried to find out where her sister had gone and looked for her contact information, without any success.
Although she was reluctant to give up, she was helpless and could only hope that one day her sister would give her a call, send a text, an email—anything to let her know she was safe.
Sadly, for three years, her sister had remained silent.
Just now, when she heard her sister’s voice, her mind went completely blank; she couldn’t snap back to reality, as if she were dreaming.
Yet, that really was her sister!
