Li Xin Yi wanted to kill Li Zi Yun right now. Initially the only reason why she wanted Chan Sheng as her fiancée was because Li Zi Yun liked him. But as time went on, she started loving him.
But from the beginning till now he was the same to her. He treated her just like how he treated everyone else. The only thing extra were kissing her and sleeping with her.
So the look in Chan Sheng's face as he was looking at Li Zi Yun and also supporting Li Zi Yun instead of her took her to the peak of her anger. She was fuming inside; Chu Yan was using the ice pack to massage Li Zi Yun's hand, While Chan Sheng was also looking at the dresses instead of asking her how she felt.
He selected two dresses. He chose a white moiré faille gown with pencil skirt and blue off shoulder evening gown with a cut revealing the wearers thigh on the left side.
He gave the white gown to Li Xin Yi and he told her to apologize to Li Zi Yun and give her this blue dress as return gift.
She stared at Chan Sheng. So this whole point of selecting a dress was to give one to Li Zi Yun. She looked at the dress, she knew Li Zi Yun had a huge scar on her thigh and she would never wear something revealing like this. So she confidently took it to her.
She said in a sweet voice, "Sister Zi Yun I am truly sorry for my behavior. Please accept my apology and take this dress. I want to see you in this dress for our engagement"
Li Xin Yi was not kind enough to neither apologize to her nor give her a dress. She understood when she saw the dress.
She gave the dress back to Li Xin Yi "Don't worry I can afford to get a dress. You can keep it"
She turned around and she wanted to walk away from Li Xin Yi. But Li Xin Yi wouldn't close her mouth. "Sister, are you afraid to show your scars to others? Are you scared no one will respect you knowing how you were treated at home by dad. (She smiled evilly) And are you scared no one will identify you as the eldest Miss of Li family after that?" Li Xin Yi thought she succeeded in getting under her skin.
But to her surprise Li Zi Yun replied, "No, that was just an excuse. The truth was I don't want to see your face. If I accept this dress I have to attend your engagement and also come to Li family house, which I don't want to do"
She swung her hair behind and dragged along Chu Yan with her. "Chu Yan I am hungry lets go somewhere and eat". She did not have breakfast yet but after slapping Li Xin Yi she felt like her stomach was full and she was no longer hungry.
She knew the moment they were alone he would start asking questions about her family.
She was neither ashamed nor sad about what happened to her but she did not want anyone to feel pity for her. That was the main reason why she did not want to tell it to anyone. The way they treated her completely changed after knowing the truth about her.
After reaching the restaurant Chu Yan opened his mouth. Before he could even speak she said, "No questions about my family"
"I want to know..."
She cut him off again, "No don't ask me I won't answer"
He took her right hand and showed her, "I only wanted to know if your hand was okay"
And then he continued casually, "If I want to know about your family I would run a background check on them, why would I ask you?"
Li Zi Yun had no reply to this statement. Then they went shopping together to get the limited edition hand purse, that would go well with this dress. She was elated the whole day. The instance with Li Xin Yi had made her happy knowing at least she gave a tiny bit of what she received so many years.
Though Chu Yan had a thousand questions he knew Li Zi Yun would not answer it and anyway evade his questions. So he did not take the trouble of questioning her.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
From what Chu Yan saw at the store it looked like Li Zi Yun was beating Li Xin Yi just for the fun of it. There was no major problem and nothing huge happened for her to slap her step sister in front of everyone.
Chu Yan asked Li Zi Yun, "Tell me, weren't you venting your pent up anger on your step sister".
Li Zi Yun was sitting with a smile on her face. She said, "Did it seem like that?"
"Yes, it looked like you were having fun"
"Well then yes. Slapping her felt good so I slapped her again and again"
Then Chu Yan asked her, "Are you sure your step mother won't cause problems for you due to this incident and also your dad?"
"Do I seem like I give a fuck about it? The days where he controlled me are over. And I don't give a damn about what he thinks about me beating the young bitch"
Chu Yan just nodded his head.
Li Zi Yun was thinking about the time when Li Xin Yi had fallen on her own but she complained to her mom and dad pushing the blame on her elder sister nd that Li Zi Yun pushed her down and wounded her knees. Her step mother had heated an iron rod and placed it on her left thigh leaving a mark by burning her skin; Li Zi Yun was crying and begging. The hot iron road was burning her skin and she was screaming in pain.
She was punished for something she hadn't even done. When her dad saw this he never uttered a single word even though he heard her screams. It had formed a huge scar on her thigh. Li Zi Yun was involuntarily touching her left thigh as she was thinking about the dress Li Xin Yi gave her. She could clearly remember the agony she felt when she was being hurt.
Chu Yan could sense something but since she did not want to speak about it, he did not question her.
Li Xin Yi got into the car with Chan Sheng. Her cheeks were red and swollen and she has been embarrassed publicly but that slut Li Zi Yun. She did not speak a single word to him till she reached home. She was angry with him for not supporting her in front of everybody.
She reached home and walked away without telling him bye. He followed her into the house. When Li Xin Yi entered the house the servants were bringing out snacks. And they served it to her. She pushed it away throwing everything on the floor, making a mess of the place. Hearing the breaking of bowls and plates and crashing of cutlery, Li Xin Yi's mother Fu Ming Zhu hurried to the spot, thinking it was the servants who had done a mistake.
Seeing Li Xin Yi she asked, "What are you doing here? What's wrong with you? Why are you breaking everything?"
Only when Li Xin Yi looked up she saw her daughter's swollen red cheeks.
Li Zi Yun yelled, "That good for nothing Li Zi Yun did this to me. Look how she spoiled my face. I want you to kill her now."
Chan Sheng couldn't wait anymore. He said to her, "Look Xin Yi it was your mistake and you provoked her and you lied in front of everybody and you wanted to humiliate her. None of this would have happened if you had stayed quiet. So stop blaming others and reflect on your mistakes"
Li Xin Yi could not believe her ears. He had seen her bullying several people and he had always turned a blind eye to it. He had never once said anything nor blamed her. Was it because of Li Zi Yun?
She replied, "Brother Sheng I am innocent today. It was she who bullied me today."
Chan Sheng shook his head knowing there was no use talking to her and left. Li Xin Yi's mother Fu Ming Zhu rushed to her side.
"How can you let her do this to you?" she asked Li Xin Yi as she ordered the maid to bring some ice and call the doctor.
