Shi Guang’s lips curled up bitterly.
It’s not that I want to overthink things, but you guys are really way too scheming! Yang Chifeng, don’t always look at me with that apologetic expression. In reality, you’re every bit as selfish and practical as your sister! In your eyes, there’s only you and no one else! That includes even your kin in it! That’s the reason why despite knowing that Yan Zi was the one that had hurt your sister, you still refuse to step in. It’s all because it wouldn’t do you good, and people like you will never ever do things that do not benefit themselves!
Yang Chifeng shook his head and denied it.
I can’t take the risk. My sister is already in that state right now. If anything were to happen to me, who would take care of my mother?
Shi Guang could only feel detest that she could not say out. To think that he could actually give himself such a righteous excuse for his selfishness!
However, that was indeed quite a strong excuse that was hard for her to refute.
But even then, the facts still did not change that he was a man who had no sense of responsibility. In the past, he merely wanted to make use of his sister to get into the Lus and make use of them to fuel his ambitions. When things turned sour between the Lus and Yang Sitong, he shifted all the blame onto his sister.
But, was he not in the wrong at all?
Perhaps, Yang Sitong had merely only wanted to get married to Lu Yanchen right at the very beginning. But later on, it was they who had nurtured her lust and desire toward power and status!
They had painted the picture so nicely for her that she could not help but want to chase after it fervently!
In that instant, Shi Guang had a jolt of understanding about why Yang Sitong would end up in such a mental state. She finally understood why despite the fact that she had clearly convinced Yang Sitong back when she was wielding the knife, the latter would will turn frenzied at the mention of her mother and brother.
This was because both of them had pushed all the blame onto her.
She was the sinner, the wrongdoer.
But other than Yan Zi’s instigation, the reason why she was in this state right now was because of her selfish family as well.
Suddenly, Shi Guang felt a sense of relief over how lucky she was.
She had a family that loved her, people who would not only support her in times of need, but back her up mentally as well.
Ever since the incidents with her parents and sister, her grandma and little auntie had spent effort and time helping her walk out of her pain. There was also her little uncle and Mo Jin, who might as well be as doting to her as her real father and sister. No matter what happened, they would always give her utmost care and guide her in the right direction.
By the time Shi Guang walked out of the hotel, the rain had stopped and the sun was already out.
Walking into the sunlight, she finally found a spot of warm radiance emanating from that heart of hers which had sunken for a long time now.
Taking her phone out, she made a call. It didn’t take long before the call connected on the other end, and Zhang Shulin’s voice rang out,
Shi Guang.
He spoke gently, with a trace of hopefulness in his tone.
Shi Guang knew what he was hoping for—the same thing that many people were hoping for her—to return to her former life as soon as possible.
She smiled as she said,
Coach, could I still join the Blue Seas training midway?
Of course!
He had been waiting for her call for a long time now.
I’ll head over to the Blue Seas from the capital tomorrow then.
Sure, sure!
Zhang Shulin heaved a sigh of relief. She had recovered sooner than he had expected. If she were to join the training at this time, she should still be on track—there was still hope for her to take the champion’s title.
Shi Guang found herself smiling stupidly at the skies after hanging on the call.
When she finally reeled her feelings in, she sensed that there was someone following her from behind. Turning around by instinct, she saw the passers-by moving hurriedly without any suspicious persons.
Shi Guang continued walking forth slowly, a trace of doubt bubbling in her heart. For some unknown reason, she seemed to have the feeling that someone was following her for the past few days…
