Chapter 712: Untitled
Back then, she, in her anger, slapped Su Ruhua, only to be slapped by her mother who did not know the truth. Back then, Su Ruhua was the goody-two-shoes while she was the rebellious child. Her parents were biased.
Back then, she, who was just seventeen, lost the reason to live and everything, including her children and family. Mo Shitian, Su Ruhua, and the entire world turned its back on her.
Back then, she was so despondent she almost broke down.
Back then, Mo Shitian cruelly sealed away her memories and had her memories wiped clean. As the operation was too hurried, along with how her body persistently rejected the medication, the operation was somewhat a failure. Thus, she lost her memories and her reasoning only to become a fool who spent half a year with Mo Shitian, who eventually unlocked her memories...
Back when she recovered her memories, she wanted to kill the children who so uncannily resembled Mo Shitian, only for her parents to call her cruel. Her sister also avoided her. She did not know how to relieve the anger in her heart which was directed at those who inflicted the deepest hurt on her. Who would pick up the tab for the death of her children? If she weren’t provoked by Su Ruhua, she would not have prematurely delivered and the child’s umbilical cord would not have tangled around its neck. Who would give her child that very chance to live?
Back then, even though she was brimming with vengeance, she could not lay a finger on her close ones and hence shifted all her hatred onto Mo Shitian and took it out on him daily. In order to shift her attention, he silently endured it all.
Back then, the Mafia ruled the tumultuous underworld. She was aware that she could not kill Mo Shitian and that she could not exact vengeance. Hence, she opted to fade into obscurity.
Back then, she had already faded into obscurity in the corners of the world while he doggedly looked for her. She was so good at obscuring herself and avoiding him to the point she had somebody send him a letter to sever all ties with him until the end of time.
Back then, he fanned the flames of misunderstanding between the Saudi royal family and the Su family for want of forcing her to appear, only to end up being exploited when the Su family was being sidelined by the royal family and exterminated.
Back then, she, saddled with hatred, detonated her ship to perish with him but ended up being saved by Fu Jin and lost her memories. She spent peaceful twenty-over years on the island since.
Su Ruhua...
Mo Shitian...
‘How could you have treated me as such?’
Back then, she gave Su Ruhua and Mo Shitian chances to explain themselves, but neither of them was willing to budge. Mo Shitian claimed he knew nothing about how the children came about.
Who was he lying to?
It’s not like she was a three-year-old child.
As too many painful memories rushed into Su Ruyu’s mind, she almost broke down once again. While the dribs and drabs of painful memories cruelly took form in her mind, the utterly searing pain was something she did not want to bring up ever again. It was an eternal wound in the depths of her heart that would ache ceaselessly.
Like how everybody stabbed her and pushed her further toward the abyss of desperation, Mo Shitian’s betrayal, her sister’s betrayal, the death of her children, and her parents’ misunderstanding and slapping left her heartbroken.
The memories, which had been sealed away for over twenty years, suddenly surged into her mind. Everything felt as though they had happened the day before. She could vividly remember how she carried that cold body that so resembled her child before going berserk.
When Mo Shitian came, she shot him in his chest, demanding a life for a life.
How could they treat her as such?
In her entire life, she had never let down Mo Shitian, Su Ruhua, or even the Su family. Why did everybody treat her as such?
Su Ruyu curled her body in pain. Mo Shitian was the first to realize that something was amiss with her and hurriedly held her waist. “Ruyu, what’s happened? Ruyu...”
If he knew all these would happen, he would not have brought her to the Su’s mansion. If he knew, he would...
Chu Li, Ye Wei, and the others looked at Su Ruyu in shock, full of heartache. In all these years, they had never seen such a complicated, painful, and despondent look on her.
It was so saddening they could not help but feel heartbroken and take pity on her. While they wished they could kill the person who had let her down, they would have long acted if Mo Shitian wasn’t as capable.
“Xiaoyu...” Su Ruhua wanted to touch Su Ruyu, but Mo Shitian viciously kept her hand away.
“Ruyu, let’s leave,” Mo Shitian said decisively. Just as he was about to carry Su Ruyu, she pushed him away hard, leaving him in shock.
“F*** off! Don’t you touch me!” Su Ruyu coldly said as she slightly limped with tears in her reddened eyes. All the aggrieved feelings, disappointments, desperation, death, betrayal, and coldness seemed to happen just yesterday. The hatred and murderous frustration boiled in her heart.
What happened over twenty years ago kept playing in her mind.
Su Ruyu ambled even more and unknowingly ran into Mo Jue before turning back to see the Mo brothers supporting Su Ruhua. Her hatred was triggered in that moment. ‘Elder sister...’
‘Elder sister...’
Her very sister, for over twenty years, had children with her man?! And she lost her child because of herself...
How laughable...
How thoroughly laughable that was!
Su Ruyu suddenly raised her hand and swung it at Su Ruhua, only for Mo Jue, who was nearest to her, to hold it. Not holding her hand would have been the better option. Su Ruyu’s anger was even more provoked by him holding her hand. She grabbed Mo Jue’s wrist in a reverse grip and broke free from Mo Jue’s grip before slapping Su Ruhua extremely hard.
A crisp slap rang out, and Su Ruhua’s lips bled. This slap was for her, for all the aggravation she had encountered all those years and how her mother had slapped her indiscriminately because of her sister.
“Elder sister... My dear elder sister... You sure can face me despite all these!” Su Ruyu looked at Su Ruhua despondently with a seeming smile and sad visage that was heart-gouging to Su Ruhua.
“Xiaoyu, I am sorry!” However she said it, she really could not face up to Xiaoyu. There were some mistakes made on the spur of the moment that she could not expect Xiaoyu to forgive her for. Some others, however, were merely a misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I’m sorry... Does that work?” Su Ruyu looked at her with tears. She gritted her teeth before slowly looking at the Mo brothers and Mo Shitian. “What a perfect family of four, huh? I must have been foolish as heck to return. Why the f*** did I return!?”
