Chapter 10. Fireworks Are Beautiful, But They Don't Last (2)
Xi Xinyi started to sob as she stared at Xiaye’s stiff figure. She sniffed and then said, “I’ve constantly blamed myself, but Sister, I really love Yifeng, so please, please forgive us, okay? We can only be truly happy with your blessings.”
“Sister, you’re really important to me. I really need your forgiveness and blessings, please?” Xi Xinyi’s sobs and fragile voice were like cold, sharp needles stabbing into Xi Xiaye’s heart. It was so painful that she almost passed out.
How cruel…
The girl before her was her best friend. Then, suddenly, one day her father divorced her mother and the mother of this girl became her stepmother. Yue Xinyi became Xi Xinyi. She was her father’s illegitimate child, so she became Xi Xiaye’s younger sister and Xi Xinyi’s mother took over her mother, Shen Wenna’s place.
Xi Xinyi was really lovely. She was always so beautiful and kind as well as being smart and excellent at her studies. The moment she entered the Xi family, everyone loved her, including the grandmother who had always doted on Xi Xiaye.
As for Xi Xiaye herself, she was quiet and low-profile. She did not like to talk and her studies were mediocre. Aside from talking to her grandfather from time to time, she was usually a loner. People started to forget about her existence in the Xi family, and Xi Xinyi became the precious jewel of the family.
The engagement with Han Yifeng was a promise between Elder Xi and Elder Han; they were really good friends and hoped to build a deeper relationship between their families and become better partners. Xi Xiaye had always been thought of as the default daughter-in-law of the Han family, yet all of these evaporated with Xi Xinyi’s arrival.
What sounded the funniest to her was that this crying woman and her mother had destroyed her happy family. They took her father away, took her place in the family away, and even took the love of her life away, yet now she was asking for her forgiveness…
There was probably nothing more ironic than this in the whole world.
