Aristocratic Family's Broken Love

  The sky was filled with clouds, the sun struggled to show its face inside, and from time to time it shot out some sunlight through the clouds, flickering on her body, as if light and darkness were at war. She accepted the baptism of sunlight, feeling that the past week was like an unreal dream; when the sunlight was blocked by dark clouds and the whole sky turned gloomy, she felt as if she had been transported to another world...

  She didn't feel relieved, but instead her footsteps felt heavy, as if she was carrying a thousand-pound weight. She didn't know how much effort it took to force herself to straighten up and leave the magnificent Jade Embroidered Restaurant. The crowd of people coming and going was overwhelming, yet she only looked straight ahead, not daring to glance sideways, afraid that if she accidentally met someone's gaze, they would see through her facade and reveal the filthy soul beneath...

  A deal, this is a deal, a deal of money and flesh...

  No matter how she denies it, she can't erase the fact that this may become a lifelong humiliation for her!

  What's even more ridiculous is that she has forgotten her original intention and become deeply mired in this transaction of selling herself! She indulges in his brief tenderness, weaving what she thinks are beautiful dreams, but now that she's awake, it's like being doused with a bucket of ice water!

  She got into a taxi that was passing by, the driver's low voice asked her where she was going, but she was already speechless. She should have reported her home address, but was that place really her home? Her father, mother, brother, and sister, although they were all connected by blood, but relying solely on her father's connection, it was a weak and pitiful bond. In this family, the only one she could expect anything from was her father, but it was also this father who had brought her into the world and handed her over to someone else. How should she go back, with what face should she return, facing that biological father, facing that cold mother, brother, and sister...

  Her lips moved several times, wanting to spit out that familiar address, but before she could speak, tears flowed first!

  My heart seems to have been cut open, and with just a slight movement, it's gushing out fresh blood!

  The driver silently started the car, perhaps he was already used to such tearful passengers! He didn't ask her, maybe it was a kind of understanding.

  Her voice trembled violently, every word trembling, an inescapable sob: "......go......take a walk......"

  These four words had already exhausted all her strength!

  Language itself may have a magical power. Once it is spoken, the things that are suppressed in the heart seem to burst out with the opening of the mouth. She couldn't help but cry, feeling an overwhelming sadness was about to crush her!

  She came with trepidation, carrying shame and hoping for a quick escape, but never expected that when leaving, it would be so hard to bear and heart-wrenching! Why did she have to go through such an experience? Why couldn't she just continue in her humiliation? Why did she have to meet him? Why was he so excellent? Why did he have to show his tenderness...

  If it wasn't him, but a very terrible person, then after experiencing this terrible week, she might have cried bitterly and then buried everything quietly after crying, continuing her previous life. But coincidentally, she met him, how could she forget!

  Why can these adults be so casual, saying they'll give it away and then giving it away, saying they'll take it and then taking it, saying they'll occupy it and then occupying it, and then... saying they'll throw it away and then throwing it away?

  Why did he not consider her feelings at all, not a word was said, and let her leave just like that. The night before they were still so intimate, but the next day they could be so heartless?! And from then on, they became strangers!

  She may be humble, or perhaps difficult to bear, or perhaps cheap, but she came with her own desires. Is she really that insignificant? Insignificant to the point where he didn't even try to retain her!

  Lin Meng, Lin Meng, why are you Lin Meng? If you weren't Lin Meng, how great that would be!

  Rong Ling... Rong Ling...

  This name has been secretly called out many times in my heart, but I just can't call him openly. Since it's just a transaction, I shouldn't be so good to her, buying her clothes, having meals with her, taking the cable car... and even changing some business decisions for her!

  He shouldn't be so good to her, letting her indulge in self-directed beautiful dreams. Since she became aware of herself, until now, no one has ever been as good to her as he is, so she easily gets close to him and foolishly wants to rely on him. But the other party is a genius, surrounded by many girls who are better than herself, such as Ya, Xi Lan, and also Miao Qing.

  Who does she think she is? She's nothing at all!

  That night, I shouldn't have been saved by him. Maybe I would have been left in the rain, caught pneumonia, stayed in the hospital, and had a brief encounter with him before being handed over to my family when the time was up. That way, while resenting him, I could tell myself that the man was a scoundrel, not worth worrying about at all, and that I had just been ill, recovered, discharged from the hospital, and that's it!

  But somehow...

  She wanted to resent him more, wanted to recall some scenes that she could hate him for, but couldn't bring herself to do so. And what's even more sorrowful was the realization that he was actually the best person in this world to her!

  Lin Meng, Lin Meng, what's good is good, what's bad is bad! Admit it, you're just heartbroken because Rong Ling abandoned you like that, so you resent him. But if you reflect on yourself, with your ulterior motives, you got treated by Rong Ling this way, what else can you complain about?

  Wake up, he's a good man and an extremely excellent guy, you're not worthy of him, don't even hope to be with him. This is just a transaction, when the time comes, it's time to wake up from the dream, open your eyes and go your separate ways!

  But ——

  Tears rolled down from Lin Meng's eyes like a stream, heavy with sorrow, as if it were an icy rain on a winter day.

  But - she thought desperately: perhaps this lifetime will never meet such a good person again!

  "Miss, what's wrong? You seem so sad!" The driver's deep voice was filled with sympathy and regret.

  Lin Meng sniffled, covered her eyes with her hand, and forced a smile that was even more painful than crying. In the midst of her fragmented sobs, she stammered: "It's just...the sunlight...is too...dazzling..."

  Yes, it's just that the sunlight is too dazzling, so her eyes were stabbed for a moment, and she shed tears!

  So, it's just that the sunlight is too dazzling...

  The driver turned his head and looked out the window. The dark clouds had successfully blocked out the sun, not a single ray of sunlight could pass through, the whole sky was gloomy, where did the sunlight come from?

  It looks like it's going to rain soon!

  The air is filled with a sense of oppression, and amidst the dryness, there's a hint of dampness, which might signal a torrential downpour. But while the rain outside hasn't started yet, the one inside the car has already become a deluge!

  Tears fell from the girl's face, pouring down on the lily like a sudden rain. The delicate white lily flowers couldn't bear the weight of her tears, and slowly bent their stems, silently weeping with the girl. This girl, holding the lilies and crying, was the most sorrowful person Xiao Yi had ever seen, and it pained his heart to look at her!
