Chapter 206
Su Yuqing on a Rainy Night!
(Part Four)Su Yuqing understood these principles; she was well aware of them.
But she still felt a vague sense of confusion and resentment about the changes in her family, wondering "why" and "how could this happen.
"Even though it was already broken, she wanted to be the only bridge that held the relationship together.
What kept her going to see her father was the last faint glow of her soul that refused to be extinguished.
However, Su Yaxi's words, and the glaring "Letter of Severance" in her hand, were like a pair of cold and precise hands, brutally pressing that last bit of light into the cold, muddy reality.
That's not a declaration, but a stamp of certification.
See?
This is the truth.
See?
This is where you are.
No one expects you to appear, no one needs you to stay, and your very existence is a mistake, a trouble that needs to be bought out.
The bitter smile on Su Yuqing's face froze, like a layer of porcelain glaze that instantly turned cold and cracked.
She no longer needed to refute or explain herself.
Any words seem pale and laughable at this moment.
She felt something inside her body rapidly cooling, collapsing, and freezing.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, but I couldn't feel any specific pain.
Instead, I felt a numbness and coldness, like sinking into the depths of an icy lake and suffocating after the oxygen was depleted, spreading endlessly to every part of my body.
The strength that had been supporting her to stand seemed to have been instantly drained away.
She looked up at Su Yaxi's face, which was filled with disgust and calculation and bore a resemblance to her father.
Her eyes were terrifyingly empty.
It was as if it pierced through her, gazing into a more distant and darker void.
The world lost its sound in her eyes, leaving only the dull rumble of rain hitting the roof and the ground—a desperate requiem for her shattered heart.
Tears had long since dried up in numb despair.
She didn't even feel sadness, only a complete realization, a painful clarity that finally recognized her insignificant, even superfluous, position in the tapestry of everyone's lives.
The world is vast...
but it turns out there really is nowhere for her to find refuge.
My mother dislikes me and despises me.
My existence is even the trigger for my mother's illness.
Without me, my mother can live a healthy and better life.
If that's the case, she's willing to leave her mother for her own good.
Having left her mother, she had thought that the "home" where her father was was a safe haven in the midst of a storm, but now that idea has proven to be such a foolish and ridiculous wishful thinking.
Family ties?
That was once the most cherished yet most fragile thing in her heart.
It was once her armor against this cold world, and her lighthouse when she was lost.
Now, this armor has been torn apart by her own parents and sister, and the lighthouse's glow was just an illusion that lured her to crash into the cold reef.
It was not only broken, completely broken, but also trampled on and crushed into the mud.
As if that wasn't enough, people wanted to spend money to buy a piece of paper to make it disappear completely.
This is not just a desperate situation of homelessness; it is the denial of existence itself, the complete extinguishing of the last bit of attachment and hope deep in your soul by the very people connected to you by blood.
Su Yuqing's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
It wasn't stubbornness, it wasn't acting out of spite, it was genuine despair.
She slowly lowered her head, her gaze falling on the rain-soaked ground, watching the puddles reflect the faint fragments of light shining through the pale light from the distant roof, and her own blurry, broken, and distorted shadow.
That shadow is a reflection of her at this moment.
“…Take the money.
” Her voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping, almost drowned out by the sound of rain.
“The agreement…I won’t sign it.
” At this moment, Su Yuqing’s tone no longer contained the previous resistance, only a kind of exhausting calm, a declaration of giving up the struggle.
Does it make a difference whether she signs or not?
The corner of her heart called "father" has lost its last warmth, just like this cold rain.
Her heart was completely dead.
The body is still in the rain of late spring, but the soul has already sunk into the bitter cold of winter.
"Su Yuqing, don't be so shameless!
" Su Yaxi was furious when she saw that Su Yuqing refused to give in even like this.
In that instant, a cold glint flashed, and a chilling fruit knife appeared before her.
In that instant, Su Yaxi was startled, and Lin Ranhai, who was hiding nearby, was also frightened.
This looks like it could lead to someone's death.
"Su Yuqing...
what...
what do you want to do?
"Su Yaxi said in a trembling voice.
She never imagined that Su Yuqing would be carrying a fruit knife.
“You don’t need to be afraid.
” Su Yuqing turned the knife around, pointing the hilt at Su Yaxi.
“I won’t sign the agreement.
If you want me to sever ties, then you might as well just kill me.
”Seeing the knife in Su Yuqing's hand and hearing her words, Su Yaxi was completely stunned.
However, just to be safe, she quickly took the knife from Su Yuqing's hand.
This way, at least you have the initiative.
Upon seeing Su Yaxi take the knife, Su Yuqing immediately closed her eyes, spread her hands, and let Su Yaxi do as she pleased.
But seeing her like this, Su Yaxi didn't dare to make a move.
After waiting a few seconds and seeing that Su Yaxi did not react, Su Yuqing suddenly gave her a cold smile, "Since you are not going to do anything, this relationship will never be severed.
Do as you please.
"After Su Yuqing finished speaking, she turned and left.
The longer she spends with Su Yaxi, the more she recalls her father's resolute decision.
She's just trying to annoy Su Yaxi in the most powerless way possible.
There was no need to sign this agreement at all; after tonight, her father would have disappeared from her world.
Holding the knife in her hand, Su Yaxi watched Su Yuqing's departing figure, the smile Su Yuqing gave her before leaving flashing through her mind.
She's clearly a loser, so why is she smiling at me?
She had clearly been abandoned by her father, so why was she smiling at me?
She was clearly homeless and living on the streets, so why was she smiling at herself?
Su Yaxi felt a surge of anger and immediately drew her knife to catch up with Su Yuqing.
Soon, the two entered a dark place where even the light couldn't reach.
"Su Yuqing, you stop right there.
"Su Yaxi's voice was drowned out by the rain, and Su Yuqing completely ignored it.
This fueled Su Yaxi's anger even more.
She rushed forward, grabbed Su Yuqing's clothes, and forcefully pulled her around, causing her clothes to become disheveled instantly.
She angrily blocked Su Yuqing's path.
"Have you figured it out?
" In the black rain, Su Yuqing touched Su Yaxi's hand holding the knife and placed it against her own neck.
"If you've figured it out, then do it.
"Su Yuqing's voice was icy cold when she said this, as if she were an observer.
