CHAPTER 741: CHAPTER 740: LING YUNSHU’S REQUEST FOR PEACE (8)

The car was about to reach the villa when its headlights shone on the gate, barely illuminating a slender figure standing at the entrance.

Old Zhu’s eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized it was Ling Yunshu standing there. Without hesitation, he spoke, "Miss Chuxia, it’s Miss Yunshu."

Ling Yunshu? She wouldn’t answer her calls or reply to her messages, and now she had actually shown up here?

Ling Chuxia’s brows furrowed slightly, her hand clenched a little tighter.

The car gradually approached, and as the headlights shone, Ling Yunshu’s figure became clearer bit by bit.

Old Zhu instinctively slowed the car down, looked up at the rearview mirror, and asked, "Miss Chuxia, would you like to stop?"

Ling Chuxia’s eyes unintentionally swept over, and just as Ling Yunshu also looked up, their eyes met, and she stepped forward, softly calling out, "Xiaxia."

Her voice was as tender and indulgent as ever, as if they were still the close sisters they used to be.

But at this moment, hearing her voice, Ling Chuxia could only feel the chill spreading through her body bit by bit; her grip tightened even more, her voice cold and hard, "No need to stop, just drive in."

Ling Chuxia’s words somewhat surprised Old Zhu. After all, everyone from the Shi Family knew how close the relationship between Ling Chuxia and Ling Yunshu, the sisters, was. He hadn’t expected her to ignore Ling Yunshu completely.

But as surprising as it was, the master’s thoughts were not for him to speculate on. Old Zhu said nothing; the car, which had slowed down, sped up again. As they drove past Ling Yunshu, they didn’t stop at all and went straight into the villa.

Ling Yunshu watched with wide eyes as Ling Chuxia sat in the car. Through the car window, Ling Chuxia’s eyes never glanced her way; Ling Yunshu called out "Xiaxia," but there wasn’t a hint of response, not even a trace of expression on her face.

The car thus entered the villa, and then the villa’s gate closed before her eyes. A gentle click, yet it heavily fell upon her heart.

She truly hadn’t expected Ling Chuxia to be so heartless. Not answering her calls or responding to her messages was one thing, but now that she had come directly in front of her, she could still avoid even a glance.

The old her would never have been like this!

It seemed that the matter with the child had hit her much harder than she had imagined.

Ling Yunshu’s hand slowly clenched bit by bit, her eyes faintly flashing with a fierce light. She wouldn’t give up just like this; she wanted to see if Ling Chuxia’s heart really could be that hard!

Ling Yunshu didn’t leave, standing at the entrance all along.

Ling Chuxia had taken a bath and was coming out of the bathroom when she passed by a window. Unintentionally, she glanced outside, only to see that slender figure still standing at the villa entrance, not having left.

It was already autumn, and the nights in Liang City were quite chilly. Had she just seen Ling Yunshu wearing a dress?

This thought flickered through her brain, and Ling Chuxia suddenly shook her head. What was she thinking? It didn’t matter what Ling Yunshu was wearing; she was the one choosing to stand there; she didn’t want to be soft-hearted.

Ling Chuxia withdrew her gaze, swiftly drew the curtains closed, and decided that out of sight was out of mind!

-

Ling Yunshu had been standing there for several hours, wearing only a thin dress, her body covered with goosebumps from the cold. Her eyes were fixed on the second-floor bedroom window. Seeing Ling Chuxia’s figure approaching the window, her eyes lit up, but in the next second, the curtains were abruptly drawn closed.
