Chapter 439 - 438: Regret is Too Late
Little White Face and a few others were all hanged from the ceiling beams. On the floor, Lin Ting sat slumped, staring blankly at her cellphone, appearing completely frozen.
Now the truth was fully uncovered; everything Little White Face said was a lie to trick her. And she, deceived by a mistaken love, not only deeply hurt her dearest relatives but also caused their deaths.
Indeed, it was she who had texted Little White Face to come and get her tonight.
She also knew about Little White Face stealing that sum of money. However, she didn’t realize the money was for repaying usurious loans, thinking instead that it was left by Su Yang and the others. So, she took it, intending to give it to Little White Face for his dream investment.
Now, she fully understood that all of this was her own doing.
If she hadn’t insisted on Little White Face coming to pick her up, none of this would have happened. Even if Little White Face had taken her away, and she hadn’t taken the money, the home could have been saved, grandma could have lived, her brother wouldn’t have been burnt like this, and even Da Huang and the others could have had good lives.
All of this was due to her mistaken, one might even say twisted, love.
Lin Ting turned to look at Lin Dong, her eyes no longer capable of shedding tears.
This brother, only a few minutes older than her, had always left the best things for her. Their parents had died early, and he dropped out of school to shoulder the family burdens with his young body, holding up the sky for her.
From elementary to middle school, and then to high school, her life wasn’t bad. Lin Dong gave her all the money he earned, while he himself mostly wore clothes from the recycling collection station.
She remembered one year when the school required new uniforms, and Lin Dong had no money; she threw a tantrum at home. The next morning, a pale-faced Lin Dong delivered the money for the uniforms to the school.
