The Undefined Love - Chapter 368

“What do you mean? Did you …” her words and expression showed disbelief and her eyes made them realize that what they have feared has been done. There was pain in her eyes and to some extent those pains were surging hatred into her.

None of the three ever wanted to let Lifen know about any of these. Though they have resented what they did but still there was a fear the hatred they will be going to get after these things will get revealed to her.

Deming himself never wanted to bring those stuff up. He has already come to know about all this just after Murphy revealed to him that Long Jie was not the one from his childhood. But he still did not come to confront the old man thinking there must be a reason behind this and he will do everything on his own.

But he has never thought that the situation will demand different things from her. Now knowing that the danger was already so close, he can’t take risk especially when Lifen was involved in the midst.

That made him come and knock at these people’s doors so that he can get the enemies fast but the old man was still being all stubborn, like revealing this secret he was going to break some of his ancestral heirloom.

He wanted to yell at him but stopped thinking the woman sleeping in the room at some distance won’t like it. But when he heard Yuzhe saying all those words he wasn’t able to control his temper and burst out. He has kept his voice low lest to interrupt her sleep but little did he expect that the woman would have already heard.  And above that would have heard the things they have been hiding from her.

Earlier Lifen suddenly felt thirsty, so she got up to get a glass of water. She thought of calling Deming but when not found him in the room, she thought to see where he went. She has known in very good terms that this man could never get along with her grandfather in good terms.

But she has never thought that on the way to find him, she will come to know such a big truth. She could not believe her ears. The two persons whom she believed the most have brought her such pains.

“Brother Yuzhe, why did you do that? I never thought that even after knowing how I felt all these years you still played with my feelings and emotions. You knew Deming was the person for whom I have waited for so long, yet you manipulated everything so that we have misunderstandings between us”, she said, getting all disheartened.

Then she turned to look at her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, you said that he did not deserve to be me and you won’t accept him because he has so many rumors with Long Jie. But never you brought up the fact that it has been you who have pushed Long Jie into his life”

She still remembered the day of the annual anniversary party of Li Corporations where vher grandfather had gone to high extents just to make her give up with the thought of bringing Deming into her life.

She can’t believe all this time she was getting fooled by her own people. The people whom she has trusted the most. She shook her head, not understanding the things that were happening in front of her eyes.

Wheeling herself a little back , so that all the three men got in front of her eyes, she said looking at Deming, “And you … when did you come to know all these? Didn’t we already agree that we won’t be hiding anything in between ourselves, then why did you not tell me anything about it? Were your promises also a lie like their real face?”

She yelled as her tears rolled down her eyes. She was really hurt. The pain one receives after realizing that their own people betrayed him was something really hard to bear. It makes you feel your inside crumpling in a way that won’t ever be able to come back to normal.

Lifen looked at all the three to get the answers of her questions but none of her questions were answered. She felt miserable inside but still no one was ready to answer her.

“Huh? I might have really had a false picture of you three. None of you ever cared for me or my feelings. Good! Though I am late to understand this, at the very least I was able to get to that point in my life”, she said as she wheeled herself backwards.

At this moment Yuzhe said, “Lifen! That was for your good. Believe me, we never thought of bringing you unhappiness but that was the only way left for us”

At his words Lifen gave out a chuckle of self – mockery, “Believe you? Huh? Believing you all brought me this pain and you are still asking me to make the same mistake again? What I am to you? Am I a toy whose happiness and unhappiness works according to your thoughts?”

She paused as she took a meaningful glance of everyone. As her eyes got on Deming, she could feel the pain and concern in his eyes too. Those eyes were compelling her to believe the words they were hiding for her own benefit but this time the weightage of her own disappointment was much more than that. The disappointment that was not letting her go through the lies she has been through all these years.

“Little Cat …”, Deming also tried but at the end he had nothing to say. He can let her know the danger she was having around her. He just didn’t want her to worry about the things that he can always change for her happiness.

Looking at him like this, Lifen really felt dejected to the core. Not knowing what to say any more, she hung her head down and wheeled herself out of the room. Since she wasn’t noticing where she was moving, the wheel of the wheelchair got struck in the nook of the wall. Due to the sudden force, she stumbled and was about to fall but at a good time to get herself back stable.

Looking at her staggering both Deming and Yuzhe lunged forward to help her but at that moment her voice laced with pain and disappointment halted them. “No need I can help myself! And please leave me alone for some time”

Saying this she did not wait any longer and left the room. For today she already had enough now being at the same place with them felt like she was suffocating.

Deming was about to follow her outside but her words stopped him. Turning back to look at the old man, he said “Will you still remain stubborn like this? If anything happened because of your silence, then on that day because of you this country will see the worst. To me, Lifen is my world if something happened to her then this everyone will have to take the blow”

His words held a warning which did not care to whom it was intended to. His intentions were firm and serious. And there was a dangerous promise in his eyes, that was sealing his words with confirmation.

Looking at him now, Li Liaoyuan too thought that there must be some seriousness which he was still unable to perceive but the secrets he has kept deep inside his heart. The pain Lifen was feeling at this moment was nothing to the pain she will get when that secret will come out.

He can’t reveal it. Just can’t …. But what if Deming really was sure to be able to deal with them. The old man thought in his head as he contemplated every side of the matter. After thinking about it for quite some time he said, “Fine I can tell you about it. If you want to believe my words then believe otherwise, don’t probe this matter anymore”

Deming looked at him and sighed in relief internally. ‘Finally this old man was ready to sprout out something with his mouth’

Nodding her head to his words, he politely gestured to him to continue. Yang Yuzhe was also intrigued to know, since all these he himself wasn’t able to find out the answers of those questions.

Li Liaoyuan looked at the both men as he continued. “I exactly don’t know who they are but they are some deep enemy of our family. They were the one who have planned the accidents in which Lifen’s parents were killed. It was a plan to kill all three in one shot but luckily Lifen survived. The group who has been behind this were some way related to group of Black Scorpions”

He completed his words. The words he has said were true but there was something more hidden into it and about which he won’t be revealing even if he has to go to the grave for it. He was determined.

Deming was thinking of all his words when suddenly speedy steps were heard from the end of the corridor, “Old master, Young Miss is not in her room. And one maid said she seen her going out”
