Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 227 224. Devil? Angel? 1
Xun Luli had come here to instigate her and subconsciously, she had wanted to get sympathy from others as a victim… Her love, her ZiXuan… everything was a sacrifice for Meilin to take over the Qin family or, so she thought was the truth.
She even went as far as to call her the third woman, not the mistress but villainess.
Maybe, if it was another person who had lost their memory and without much knowledge about their history, they would have been swayed by this woman’s act… for a reason, she was a household name in C-country plus, with her delusions, it must be the truth to her and so, this could be real acting from her deep-rooted emotions and felt very natural.
Even Meilin at some point felt a pang of something, but the more she heard, the more she was sure that ZiXuan could never like a woman like this… She couldn’t see her face, but there was a weird tremble in her voice… her words felt very forced, as if, she has been reading out of a script from a melodramatic series.
Meilin got goosebumps just from the way she spoke… and before she knew it, that suffocating feeling vanished; from the way she forced the ‘sin‘ on her, she finally found her answers, the last piece of the puzzle was found, the incident back home was scripted by this woman or at least, she was involved plus, there was also that accident.
Meilin was not sure about what her profession was or, what her family delved in, but even without that, she knew that doing business with this sort of person was impossible… even in her condition, she was aware that, a good businesswoman or man, should never let their emotions sway their decision… more often than not, it was detrimental.
Meilin heard her speak a little more before she finally broke out crying, she wondered who she was putting this act for.
Meilin’s eyes twitched as she thought she was recording this… indeed, people who used this sort of tactics could never e dependable… she wondered if some rabid dog had bitten her before for her to believe in her words for even a second without confirming it… it was almost close to hypnosis.
Though Meilin didn’t remember it, this woman was the world’s favourite child… she had her buffs… well, even if she remembered, Meilin was not one to let others decide her fate in the first place.
She calmly heard her till the end and finally leaned back on the sofa, fairly relaxed.
Her brain had gone offline for a moment because of the character buff of Luli, that didn’t mean it would remain shut forever… plus, it was high time, she accepted her true feelings…
She spoke very slowly, “You know that I lost my memories, right? At this point, without anyone to correct you and tell me the real story, whatever you say can become a truth… considering that, I’m really not aware of it… but you still chose this point to come and face me. Be offended if you want to, but are you sure, you are the better person here?….hm.. well, so be it. Let me play that role for you, I’ll be the bad guy”, her lips curved into a smirk, she indeed gave out the feeling of a villainess.
But the world never knew the story of the antagonist, it was the situation and perspective of the protagonist that made the other party a villain… right?
She had a very gentle smile on her face as she recalled the moment when ZiXuan had ran up to her and embraced her, “You said I need to get rid of ZiXuan… but why do I feel that, he is the most important person to me?… This part,” she pointed to her heart,” had been anxious the whole time. In this dark world without any light, in spite of myself, I felt suffocated… and without me knowing, deep down, I was definitely scared… but the moment…”, she paused as she thought of him and somehow didn’t want to continue and just vaguely replied, “….it settled down just now.” Her heartbeat that had been roaring before he stepped in, had become meek as a kitten….
“…Well, leaving that aside… From what I heard, I seem to be playing this bad guy role all this while, right? Then why haven’t you come to settle this thing with me before this? Why did you wait till I lost my memory and ZiXuan was ‘kidnapped’… are you trying to play the role of his saviour and not a lover? If you truly loved him and were respected by him, the one you should have confronted would have been him and not the third woman. That proves that you don’t even have the basic form of trust between yourselves and you still expect me to believe you. Miss Xun, I’ve lost my memories, not my brain, don’t belittle me…”, it wasn’t every day that she showed so much of her emotions, was it because she was facing this woman or, was it because she had lost her memories… we will never know, but here’s the thing–
Nothing other than her Xuanxuan could evoke such a response from her… flashes of those memories started coming back to her and this time, they didn’t just flash by…
He voice kept becoming colder by the second as she said, “I actually don’t care about you or your love life… but then again the only thing I care about is the fact that, he doesn’t love you… it’s simply a wishful fantasy of yours and it’s big-time someone crashed it. I, Qin Meilin, would be glad to do the honour.”
She had an almost malevolent smile with hooded eyes like that of a devil…. the eyes that had lost focus since forever for her, finally regained some clarity and with a harshly cold tone, she asked,
“If he had nothing… If ZiXuan was not a Qin and was not in a position to inherit the seat, would you dare to stay by his side? Him… an orphan… without a name, a background and a family to boast about? Can you still stand beside him? Hm?”
Meilin’s eyes were covered in a haze, the orbs almost frosted over as they seemed like it was the cold abyss itself; when her words registered in her head, Xun Luli wavered…
Even at this point, she thought that the moment she got ZiXuan back, with her family’s backing, they will take over the Qin… after all, ZiXuan was the best man in the world and the Qin belonged to him… they were in a set so, this sudden question of him without the necessary ‘qualifications‘ caught her off-guard.
Meilin heard the silence, this woman was actually contemplating and couldn’t give an answer instantly… this woman was not her opponent, but when she thought how her Xuanxuan’s existence was compared with the assets he had, the disgust towards this woman became apparent in her voice,
“That man is mine! You are not worthy of him. You are too delusional and protected. You can’t handle that man”, call it possessiveness, but it was the truth to her,
“He can only have me in his life, no one else is allowed…. I won’t allow anyone by his side”, the smile on her face was laced with a strange beauty as she declared, “Even if he had nothing, I’m confident to give the world back to him… Without him, this world is nothing and…you…you are worthless…”
Like the whispers of the devil, she stated her facts straight…
After she said it out loud, it made even more sense to her.
Yes, he was supposed to be hers… no, they belonged to each other and no one had the right to be by his side, no one except her…
