Little Miss Witch: Revenge of the Tainted Angel

Chapter 216 - Give My Sister Back! (2)

To lose her completely and not having a chance to rectify his mistakes, this was Mu Jianyu's biggest regret in life. His short term ambition and blindness had overshadowed the treasure he had in front of him, it cost him Ying's life. 

How foolish he'd been. He couldn't imagine the pain his wife was in during her last moments. Was she thinking about him? Was she regretting being with him? 

A year had already passed since the accident took place, yet, Li Chuntao was only telling him about it now. 

Who else knew about Ying's death? Was he the only one oblivious that she had been gone for a long time?

Mu Jianyu wanted to laugh at himself. It was laughable that the Li family was able to fool him to this extent. They didn't even bother to inform him that his wife was dead and let the younger twin, fool him, punish him for his betrayal. 

"Why? Tell me why you are only telling me this now?" He asked Li Chuntao with despair. "Don't you think that I have the right to know what happened to my wife?" 

Why now? Was she satisfied enough to see him suffering, so she was giving him the ultimate blow? 

Li Chuntao's tears ceased. She sniffed and wiped her cheeks dry. 

"Don't make it sound like it's all about you. If you still don't know, you aren't the center of the universe. Why should we tell you about her death? So you can rip her wealth and spend it on your mistress? Isn't it enough that she'd lost her life because of Lin Meirong? You want snatch away her inheritance as well?" 

"Goddamn it, Li Chuntao! Do you really think I loved your sister because of her money?!" Mu Jianyu yelled back at her. 

Was this what Li Chuntao had always thought of him? Didn't she know that the reason he was with Ying was because she was the only woman who didn't look down on him when he didn't have anything to be proud of? Li Xiuying was the only person who believed that he could be successful someday.

How could Li Chuntao accuse him like this? She had no idea what kind of relationship he and Ying had before they got married. He was truly in love with her, until he lost himself from his own inferiority complex. 

"If you truly loved her, you wouldn't have betrayed her! She was willing to move heaven and earth for your sake but what had you done?! You killed her heart, you killed her love. You were everything for her and I let you marry her because I thought you loved her!" 

Li Chuntao couldn't really help but blame him. None of this would have happened if he'd used the right head and kept it in his pants. His affair shouldn't have cost Ying's life… her baby's life. 

Just when Mu Jianyu thought that he'd received the final blow, she dropped another bomb that made him wish he would drop dead at that moment. 

"Do you know what else is more tragic? She wasn't the only one who died in that accident! The baby in her womb had died in the impact. Your baby… her baby didn't even have the chance to be born and live!" 

Baby? Ying was pregnant with their child during her accident? 

Mu Jianyu's face blanched upon realization. Wasn't it around the same time he'd chosen Lin Meirong because he thought that woman was carrying his child? Turns out, his wife was the one nurturing his flesh and blood in her womb.. 

The more he thought about it, the more Mu Jianyu felt like he was being consumed with grief and indescribable pain. He had a loving wife who was about to give birth to their child, but he abandoned her, letting her die because of Lin Meirong. 

He was also consumed with his hatred for Lin Meirong. If that bitch hadn't died from cancer, he probably would have killed her himself! Alas, the person who was most guilty was him. 

Not only did he lose his wife, he also lost his own child. It made sense to him why Li Chuntao was angry with him. Any other family members would have acted the same if that happened to their sisters. 

Tears continued to flow from his eyes, and he didn't bother to hide it from Li Chuntao. 

"Then tell me why you are telling me this? Why now?" 

"I'm not doing this for you, Mu Jianyu," Li Chuntao's tone was trembling from rage. "I'm doing this for my baby's sake… for my husband. I know Ying wouldn't want me to continue living in hate but I just couldn't… I couldn't forgive you nor myself." 

So the woman Shen Zichen married was Li Chuntao and not his Ying? And now that they have a family of their own, it was time for Li Chuntao to stop her guise as his wife? 

Mu Jianyu pulled himself back on his feet with a pained expression on his face and turned his back to his sister-in-law. 

"You don't need to forgive me, Li Chuntao. I don't deserve it… I don't deserve your sister's love. But you… you deserve to be happy, so free yourself and go home. I'll bear all the pain and consequences for her death."

Unlike him, Li Chuntao had someone back at home waiting for her return. Li Chuntao still had a life to live and a child to raise. Of course, he was mad at her for deceiving him, but what else could he say when he was the one who caused her pain? 

After saying those words, Mu Jianyu left Li Chuntao at the lake and drove back to the city.. However, after ten minutes of driving, he pulled over on the side of the road and punched the steering wheel several times as he cried his heart out, finally realizing that he'd lost the only woman he loved in his whole life.
