Chapter 435 – CONGRATULATIONS!! You Have Shattered This Frail Doll.
Zhen Qinrou knew well that the good son had hidden her mother far away from his father's eyes to keep her safe. And also knew that in no way that good son would stake her mother's life by letting his father know about her. So, to make Qi Shuai give up his feelings for Yi Lan, Zhen Qinrou has used his sick mother as bait. Making a deal with him!
"You rejected my love because she asked you to?" Feng Yi Lan asked in disbelief. She has returned from half of her way just to make sure that she let the man know her feelings all clear in words. But she didn't know that coming back she would be knowing the biggest secret of her own life.
Qi Shuai was taken aback by seeing her standing at the door. "Yi Lan, when did you come? Wait. Let me explain. I …" he started but his words were instantly suspended.
"I don't want your explanation, Director Qi. I just want to ask if that night, have you rejected me and my love just because this lady has asked you so?" She asked.
"LanLan, things are not that way. First, let me explain and you will understand me. I was …"
"YES or NO, Director Qi?" she asked again, this time all her words stressing firmly on each syllable coming out her lips.
Feeling defeated, in the end, the man nodded in acceptance. "Yes!" He confirmed his words verbally. He has never wanted to reveal this part of their story to Yi Lan, not even in his last breath. But fate brought it in the worst way out.
Yi Lan did not have to ask anymore. The question that had been a nightmare to her has finally been answered today. His reason for rejecting her! But she never knew that even after knowing the reason, it will still be her in the pain.
Her eyes went to look at her mother. Without even realizing it, tears filled her eyes making her vision go a little blurry. She did not know why that happened … maybe because it was all-natural to cry in front of your mother when you are in pain.
Zhen Qinrou instantly felt her heartache seeing the tears in the eyes of her daughter. "Yi Lan, hear Mama first. Don't cry! What Mama did was for the sake of your long – term happiness. Don't take your Mama wrong. Come here, darling", She said, opening her arms wide to take her into her embrace while walking forward.
But the moment, she reached her to take her into her arms, Yi Lan swatted away her hands, avoiding her touch. "Don't come to me like you genuinely care for me. I am already fed up with your pretence. I can't take it any longer".
"Yi Lan, why are you saying like this. I am your Mama. Of course, I will always love you genuinely. How can you doubt my love?" Zhen Qinrou quickly retorted. Indeed, in her life, if she has genuinely loved someone then it was her only daughter.
"Love? Really?" Feng Yi Lan said laughing out loud as if she had heard the world's biggest joke. "You know what Mam … sorry, you are definitely not my mother and a child should never recklessly address that endearment to any woman. I am sorry." She said with some mock in her tone.
"Yi Lan, I am your mother. How could you say that?" Zhen Qinrou said but all her words were mercilessly ignored.
"So where was I, Mrs Feng … yeah I was saying that if what you did is called the love of a mother then I really wish this whole world becomes deprived of motherly love forever. And the mark of this new beginning starts with me"
"Yi Lan!" the woman yelled out loud, not able to take the blatant rudeness of her own daughter. "That's going enough. You are crossing your line now. I was just helping you in making the right decision in your life. Qi Shuai is not the right choice for you. Being your mother what wrong did I do? Come home with me and I will explain the things to you". She said, defending herself again while trying to hold Yi Lan by her wrist so that she could take her away.
But again, the moment she tried to hold her, Yi Lan just backed away with a mocking smile. "Right decision for me? And what was that, Mrs Feng? Does pushing someone in the depths of darkness and sadness count as one? Or making someone cry out on her own luck counts as one? Or making someone feel rejected counts as one? Please let me identify that in actuality with which right decision you helped me in?"
"You said Director Qi Shuai is not the right choice for me. But you know what? I am not the right choice for him. And do you know why? Because I am your daughter" She said, taking all her emotions out. All the feelings that she has been suppressing for the last 5 years. "Though it pained me to hear his words and reasons for rejecting me 5 years ago, those reasons were definitely not wrong. They were the truth. Being a daughter of a homewrecker, I definitely do not deserve him".
Just as her words completed, a loud slap rang in the air, making Yi Lan almost stumble on her footing. Qi Shuai instantly ran forward to hold her but before he could reach her, he heard her let out a deep disappointed, aggrieved chuckle.
"Haha … you really do nothing to surprise me, Mrs Feng. You are typically the same as the homewreckers we see in daily dramas. They do the same as you when someone shows them a reality mirror." She said, lightly rubbing her reddened cheeks.
Her eyes moved to look again at the man as another laughter of self-mockery chucked out her lips. "So, tell me, was it fun? Was it fun playing with me? Making me a toy at your mercy?"
"LanLan, at least listen to me. I had some reasons that I could not avoid" Qi Shuai said with a guilty laced voice but Feng Yi Lan just shook her head at his words while clapping her hands in appreciation.
"Really! You two have well played! But I am sorry that was the end of the game as this frail doll is almost shattered, and could not be repaired back for your entertainment play". Feng Yi Lan said before leaving the place for good!
