Chapter 77 Unable to Accept the Facts
They moved slowly toward Xie Shiyun, each step heavy and deliberate. Finally, they arrived before Xie Shiyun.
The moment their eyes met, everyone was amazed by the striking resemblance between the child and Li Hui. Especially their eyes, which seemed to have been carved from the same mold, completely identical.
Li Hui couldn't help but take a step forward, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Shi Yun...our daughter!" Before she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face like a burst dam. The guilt that had accumulated deep in her heart over the years now overwhelmed her like a surging tide.
However, faced with this sudden situation, Xie Shiyun looked bewildered and confused.
She looked at Li Hui in disbelief, shaking her head and saying, "Auntie, I really don't understand what you're talking about. I'm not the daughter you're looking for. You must have mistaken me for someone else."
Xie Shiyun felt that they had come to her workplace to claim kinship out of the blue.
I wanted to turn around and leave.
But Xu Chengguo called out to him from behind.
"Your current mother is named Lin Yue, right? She switched you and Qinghuan to get revenge on me. You've suffered all these years, child."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shiyun felt as if five thunderbolts had struck her simultaneously. She stood rooted to the spot, staring intently at Xu Chengguo, her body trembling slightly.
"What did you say?" she asked with difficulty, her voice filled with barely concealed anger and despair.
Recalling the moment she was born, she was ruthlessly taken away and lived a life of suffering, lack of food and clothing, and never received any love from her family, these painful memories now surge into her heart like a tide, making her heart ache so much that she can hardly breathe.
Especially during the school year, whenever the school holds a parent-teacher meeting, other students are always surrounded by their fathers and mothers, and the whole family is filled with laughter and joy, creating a warm and loving atmosphere.
And all alone, I sat in the corner, watching others enjoy the warmth of family. What's worse, when that person was in a bad mood or didn't like me, they would beat and scold me, completely disregarding the fact that I was still a young child.
Thinking of this, Xie Shiyun couldn't help but burst into tears, which slid down her cheeks.
She bit her lip, silently asking herself: Are those women really my biological parents? Are they really my biological children?
However, at that time, his biological parents were living a happy and harmonious life with another child, Xu Qinghuan, under the same roof.
That warm and loving family atmosphere is something I never dared to dream of having growing up.
If Xu Qinghuan hadn't been involved in a car accident and needed a blood test to uncover this long-hidden secret, she probably would have remained in the dark forever and never known the truth.
Thinking of this, Xie Shiyun couldn't help but feel a deep sadness, feeling that fate was playing a cruel trick on him, and that this whole thing was an utterly absurd farce!
This is so ironic...
Thinking of this, Xie Shiyun felt her head buzzing, as if countless bees were swarming inside. She stared ahead in disbelief, her hands trembling involuntarily.
The next second, she could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart and abruptly threw the document she was tightly clutching onto the ground.
The documents fell to the ground like snowflakes, creating a chaotic mess.
However, Xie Shiyun had no time to care about any of that at that moment. She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, afraid that she might burst into tears at any moment. Then, like a frightened rabbit, she ran wildly towards the door without looking back.
Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyue, who had been watching her from behind, turned deathly pale.
Without hesitation, he strode forward and quickly caught up.
At the same time, Xu Chengguo and Li Hui were also quite frightened by the sudden situation. After exchanging a glance, they followed closely behind, fearing that something might happen to their daughter.
Only today did Xie Shiyun realize that over the years, Lin Yue had never truly given her family the care and love they deserved; everything she had done was simply out of a desire for revenge!
When she was little, we thought she was adopted, so we never felt any familial affection for her. But now, the truth is incredibly cruel to her...
Whenever Lin Yue saw Xie Shiyun, her eyes revealed not affection, but deep disgust. It was as if Xie Shiyun was not her biological daughter, but merely a tool to vent her anger at will.
At this moment, a biting, icy wind howled past the riverbank, like a ferocious beast roaring wildly.
The fierce wind relentlessly whipped the branches of the trees on the shore, causing them to sway and tremble incessantly, as if they were about to break at any moment.
However, for Xie Shiyun, who was in this place, the cold seemed to have lost its power, because at this moment, her heart had already been frozen by endless despair and pain, and the coldness in her body was insignificant compared to it...
Her long, disheveled hair hung loose, making her look like a ghost lost in the darkness. She stood there blankly on the outside of the railing, her hands gripping it tightly, as if it were her only support.
Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, devoid of any color, her eyes empty and lifeless, staring blankly into the distance, muttering to herself, "My birth was a mistake..."
When Fu Shiyue finally found her, his heart leaped into his throat. The haggard, frail woman before him filled him with immense heartache and fear.
He dared not approach her easily, fearing that he might accidentally provoke her and cause irreparable consequences.
So he could only watch cautiously from afar, trying to soothe her broken heart with a gentle yet firm voice.
"Shi Yun...come down quickly, okay? Don't do anything foolish." He slowly reached out his hand, trying to grab her.
"Don't come any closer, Mr. Fu!" she cried out in despair.
"Okay, okay, I won't go over there."
He could only go along with her for the time being and backed up to stop where he was.
Fu Shiyue spoke gently in a deep voice, "Shiyun, listen to me, okay? No matter what happens, I will be with you and get through it together."
he said firmly.
Xie Shiyun gave a bitter smile. "My life is a joke. I'm just a pawn. It's all like a dream. I don't know where to go from here."
At this moment, Xu Chengguo and Li Hui also arrived. Li Hui cautiously approached Xie Shiyun, "Child, come home with us, we will make up for the love you have missed all these years."
She screamed at the top of her lungs, "You're not allowed to come any closer, or I'll jump!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chengguo and Li Hui immediately stopped in their tracks, their voices trembling, "Child...don't do anything foolish!"
Xie Shiyun looked at them, her heart filled with mixed emotions...
The cold wind ruffled her hair as she whispered, "So many years of suffering can't be erased with a single word of compensation." Everyone watched her nervously.
Finally, she could no longer contain her surging emotions and burst into hysterical laughter, the sound echoing in the air as if releasing all her endless pain: "I simply cannot accept this reality! I once thought that no matter how bumpy my life was, there would always be a glimmer of warmth and hope, but now I realize that everything I have experienced was a deception. I laugh, I laugh at my absurd and laughable life, it is simply a complete joke!"
Tears streamed down her pale cheeks, mingling with her maniacal laughter to create a heartbreaking scene. "My adoptive mother, the one I loved and tried so hard to please, treated me with such cunning and cruelty, all for the sake of revenge against my biological parents. I even tried so hard to get her to accept me, hoping to receive even a sliver of maternal love from her. But… it turns out she only ever used me as a pawn to get revenge on you! All her harshness and torment towards me was simply because I have the blood of her enemy flowing in my veins! Hahahahahaha…"
The laughter grew increasingly shrill, sending chills down one's spine and raising a cold shiver in one's heart.
She seemed completely absorbed in her own world, oblivious to everything around her.
Finally, after a burst of laughter, she slowly opened her arms, like a wounded bird preparing to take flight.
In despair, she closed her eyes, and with the last of her strength, leaped off the cliff...
"Shi Yun!"
Fu Shiyue and the other two exclaimed in surprise at the same time!
"My child!" Li Hui fainted in Xu Chengguo's arms from the shock of witnessing such a scene.
Xu Chengguo caught Li Hui, who fell into his arms, and he slumped to the ground.
Fu Shiyue took off his suit jacket and jumped down with him...
He had to save her; that was the most important thing to him right now.
The river water was icy cold, and the moment Fu Shiyue entered the water, he felt a chill pierce his bones like needles, but his gaze remained fixed on Xie Shiyun's falling figure.
He struggled desperately, swimming towards her. Xie Shiyun sank deeper and deeper into the water, her consciousness fading as painful memories of the past flashed through her mind.
Fu Shiyue finally grabbed her arm, and the next second, his hand rested on the back of her head. He slowly closed his eyes, and his cool, thin lips covered hers.
Finally surfacing, Fu Shiyue held Xie Shiyun tightly and swam to the other side of the shore. Xie Shiyun coughed and spat out some water, weakly opening her eyes to see Fu Shiyue's anxious face. "Why did you save me?" she asked weakly.
“Your life shouldn’t end like this. I’ll take you away from Yuncheng and help you start over.” He stared at her with burning passion in his dark eyes.
