Chapter 414 - 395: Helping-II
A/N: sorry for the late update, yesterday I really thought I could muster up one more Chapter but my anesthesia didn’t wear off and my body just demanded rest from me, causing me to sleep for a full one day. Anyway, enjoy~
Li Lian responded to the woman’s words with a smile, "I say this because I feel like I could put my trust in you and that you are someone who could protect the trust others have to you."
It wasn’t easy for Li Lian to trust in others, there were many reasons for her to trust Guanying. The first being that the woman had an honest character, and over hearing Li Jun Wei’s words about Guanying character, it only confirmed Li Lian more that the woman could be trusted. There was another stronger reason which would sound manipulative but logical to Li Lian. After she had saved Guanying, the woman felt very grateful for the bottom of her heart, and to the person who had saved her, the last thing Guanying would ever do to Li Lian was to betray her.
Guanying felt thrilled that she had received Li Lian’s trust. "I have to say honestly, Li Lian. For the past few years, I never had a close friend to share my worries to. But when I talk to you, there is a feeling in me that we would be a close friend. You remind me of myself in a sense which makes me feel comfortable."
"How strange," Li Lian commented, receiving Guanying’s confused expression. With a smile, she continued, "I had similar feeling when I saw you."
There was no single stroke of lies when Guanying stated her feeling of how much she wished to be Li Lian’s friends. She wanted to know more about Li Lian, therefore her curiosity lingered toward Xie Hue Lin, carefully so not to be intrusive, she questioned, "Was there a fight between you and Miss Xie?" Somewhere it felt strange to Guanying herself to use the word ’younger sister’ to speak about Xie Hue Lin because it didn’t feel like she suited the word, and chose to stick with ’miss’.
"At first I thought of her as my younger sister, but I soon discover that it was only me who had thought that way," Li Lian watched Guanying, who was very attentive to listen to her words. When Li Lian placed the teacup down at the same time the waiter came to settle the dishes on the table. Once the waiter left Li Lian spoke, "Do you want to hear about it? It won’t be pleasing to hear during the meal, but if you are curious I can tell you."
Guanying was determined to know more, "I wish to listen if it is alright with you."
Li Lian smiled again and parting her lips, she begin the story which had always been painted the wrong way by Xie Hue Lin and the people around her.
