Chapter 264 -264 Accepting the Injustice of Fate

Su Meixi smiled, “Don’t worry, I will be happy. I haven’t cut ties with you all, and I’ve spoken with my Godmother, let everything take its natural course.”

After saying that, she got out of the car.

Inside the car, Xi Huarong sat for a long time before finally asking Secretary Chen to drive away.

The night after Xi Huarong’s visit, when Su Meixi returned home from work, she unexpectedly saw Xi Wanlin.

It was already dark, and Xi Wanlin stood waiting at her doorstep. Seeing Su Meixi return, Xi Wanlin smiled at her; the smile didn’t seem smug at all.

Not only was there no smugness, but there was also a hint of guilt.

Su Meixi walked towards her, then smiled back at her.

“Did you need something from me?” Su Meixi asked.

“Do you have time? Let’s talk.”

Su Meixi pointed to her house and said, “Let’s talk inside, it’s too cold outside, and I’m afraid of the cold.”

Gu Wei hadn’t returned home today, so Su Meixi was alone in the house. Upon entering, she took off her shoes and slipped into a pair of fluffy slippers before turning back to Xi Wanlin, “Do you need to change into slippers? I have an extra pair of warm ones.”

“Sure, I’ll change as well. These high heels are really cold, thank you,” replied Xi Wanlin.

After sitting down on the sofa, Su Meixi went to pour two cups of hot tea, handing one to Xi Wanlin.

“Have some tea. I’m not even sure what kind this is; it was all bought by Gu Wei.”

Xi Wanlin nodded and said, “Thank you.”

After sitting down, neither of them spoke.

Su Meixi broke the silence, “Didn’t you say you had something to tell me? Why are you not speaking?”

Xi Wanlin took another sip of water.

Su Meixi spoke frankly, “I guess you want to talk about the secrets of our birth, right? I know you left the Xi Family for a while, and to be honest, I was quite moved by your parents’ actions then. I didn’t expect them to be so resolute, but in the end, they accepted you back. So congratulations.”

Xi Wanlin said, “But you also matter a lot to them in their hearts. The reason they accepted me back is that I forced them with the threat of death. But I feel that the person they truly like is you.”

“Have you ever thought that people only realize their true feelings when faced with life and death? Although you forced them with death, they chose you. I saw everything that happened on the rooftop that night; they were also very scared of losing you. So, in the future, the only one who will stay by their side to fulfill filial duties will be you.”

Xi Wanlin looked at her doubtfully, “Can you really let go?”

Su Meixi smiled, “There’s nothing about letting go or not; fate is just like that. To me, they are simply the people who gave birth to me, nothing more.” Su Meixi took a sip of water, “Before this, we hadn’t been open and honest. I admit that I had some illusions about them, but then I came to realize that everyone has their own destiny. In the face of destiny, it’s best to let oneself go.”

Xi Wanlin seemed touched as she suddenly grasped Su Meixi’s hand and said again, “But they really do like you. Why don’t we both be their daughters?”

Su Meixi smiled and looked at her, “Can you really accept that?”

“I… I want them to be happy.”

“But neither of us will be happy, so what’s the point?” Su Meixi said, “My husband might be transferred back in the next two years. Thus, we won’t be staying in Yun City for too long, and it will be difficult to even meet again, let alone develop feelings any further.”

Xi Wanlin burst into tears again.

Perhaps it was due to her own past narrow-mindedness.

She confessed, “I once thought of joining forces with Bao Min to deal with you, during the time when she was rummaging through your trash.”

Su Meixi said, “She didn’t cause any real damage to me, just spread some rumors about me in the neighborhood. In the end, it was she who suffered, sent back to the countryside for going through my trash. I may have bad luck, but I’m not to be messed with easily. Whoever has wronged me has faced backlash, and maybe it’s for that reason I’ve survived this long.”

Xi Wanlin couldn’t help but give a wry smile, knowing there was more to what Su Meixi was saying.

Su Meixi was hinting that she could accept fate’s injustices, but she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

“I’m sorry, I never got to know you before. I didn’t know you were such an interesting person; no wonder everyone likes you,” Xi Wanlin shared, having observed every individual around Su Meixi. Anyone who had contact with her ended up liking her.

And considering that Su Meixi could find a lover like Gu Wei despite her background, it was evident she possessed a certain charismatic personality. Gu Wei was certainly not a superficial person.

Before leaving, Xi Wanlin said to Su Meixi, “I really wish we could become best friends.”

Su Meixi smiled, “Let nature take its course.”

…

Xiao Fen had passed by Su Meixi’s apartment complex several times on purpose but never went in, unsure if Su Meixi would see her.

Although her parents told her to visit Sister Su whenever she had time.

Xiao Fen was afraid to go in, worried that her presence might remind Su Meixi of life’s injustices.

One day, as Xiao Fen was passing by again, someone called out to her, “Xi Wanfen?”

When Xiao Fen turned around, she realized it was Liang Zhanbai.

“Zhan Bai? It’s you?” Xiao Fen was a little surprised.

Liang Zhanbai pointed inside, “My aunt lives here.”

“Ah? Your aunt?”

Liang Zhanbai smiled, “My uncle is in the military, so I sometimes visit.”

“Oh, Sister Su lives here too. Her husband is in the military. Do you remember Sister Su? She’s my lifesaver; you met her at the amusement park that time.”

Liang Zhanbai said, “That’s quite a coincidence. Are you looking for her? We can go inside together.”

Xiao Fen, however, said, “I… I don’t want to see her right now. I want to talk to you. Dr. Liang, could we find a place to talk? Are you free, or shall we set a time when you’re available?”

Although they added each other on WeChat the last time, they hadn’t chatted much, nor did either initiate contact.

Liang Zhanbai pondered for a moment, “Then I’ll go in and drop some stuff off for my aunt and come back out in about ten minutes.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”

Today, without the sun, the weather was cold. Perhaps worried about Xiao Fen, Liang Zhanbai quickened his pace.

Xiao Fen glanced at the time; barely seven minutes had passed when Liang Zhanbai came out.

Her heart suddenly blossomed brightly.

Liang Zhanbai, tall and broad, usually wore a lab coat, but that evening, he wore a coat, looking like a male protagonist from a Korean drama.

For a moment, Xiao Fen felt her heart pounding.

Soon Liang Zhanbai approached her, asking, “I didn’t make you wait too long, did I?”

Xiao Fen grinned, “Not at all, you only took seven minutes.”

“You counted?”

“Yes, I did,” she laughed.
