“I know that I ought to believe in her. I wish I could.” Xuxu gazed into Yan Rusheng’s eyes and her eyes flickered with emotions. “But Ah Sheng, you know that Jiao Chen…”
At the mention of Jiao Chen, Xuxu’s voice became constricted that she couldn’t continue. It ached Yan Rusheng’s heart.
He nodded and said, “I know. Ming Ansheng and I both knew. We all concealed the truth from her because we were worried she couldn’t take it.”
He reckoned that Jiao Chen, who had passed away, would rather that Su Yue be kept in the dark forever.
Whenever he thought of what Jiao Chen had done and sacrificed for Su Yue, he would consider what he had done as inadequate.
Yan Rusheng plodded on solemnly after a long pause. “But have you thought of this? She still misses Bai Jing and wonders if she is doing well. She still treats her as her best friend. If the truth comes to light one day, will she hate us and herself? She might think that she had let Jiao Chen down.”
Yan Rusheng’s every word gripped Xuxu’s heart with a painful twist.
