CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 155-156: SONG XIAOYANG’S INJURY / YE XUAN’S EXPLANATION

"Ye’er, cheers!"

Before Luo Ye could speak, Song Xiaoyang had already downed a glass and then filled up another one, raising the glass and downing it again, and then pouring more... Luo Ye hurriedly stopped her: "Sister Xiaoyang, if you keep this up, I’m going to call your family right now, believe it or not?"

"Don’t..." Song Xiaoyang cried on the table "wuu wuu."

Luo Ye didn’t try to console her, just passed tissues to her from time to time, let it out, cry, detox!

"Insensitive little thing, you won’t even console me!" Song Xiaoyang finally stopped crying.

Luo Ye curled her lip: "The more I’d try to console you, the more wronged you’d feel, and the more fiercely you’d cry. I might even start crying myself. I don’t want to do such a thankless job!"

"You’re right, I feel much better after crying it out, I’m going to wash my face."

After coming out of the restroom, Song Xiaoyang was obviously in a much better mood, pouring a small glass for herself and Luo Ye: "Here, this glass is filled with my gratitude, you must accept it!"

Luo Ye smiled: "Actually, you don’t need to thank me, you gave me such an expensive bracelet, and that day you really gave me face, we’re even."

"That’s ancient history. Now, comparing the Song Family to the Luo Family, it’s more like you’re the one giving me face." Song Xiaoyang let out a heavy sigh: "After Grandpa retired, the Song Family’s power declined, I’ve really experienced what it means to have fair-weather friends, and you probably know, I came today to find Yang Xing, but..." Song Xiaoyang covered her nose, unable to continue.

After calming down for a while, Song Xiaoyang smiled awkwardly: "I’ve made Ye’er laugh, after all, he’s someone I’ve loved for so many years, it’s not possible to just let go."

Luo Ye smiled faintly: "In matters of the heart, no one should laugh at anyone else, once you’re trapped in the game of emotions, how many can truly see through it? By the time you see through it, things have often changed completely, or maybe, that person never really cared."

"Could it be that there’s some misunderstanding between you and Ye Xuan?" Song Xiaoyang looked at Luo Ye in surprise.

Luo Ye shook her head: "No, there’s a pile of truths in books, they sound perfectly logical when spoken, but when it actually comes to me, I can’t say I’m that clear-headed."

Song Xiaoyang looked at Luo Ye with eyes full of shame: "Honestly, when I first made you my sworn sister, my intentions weren’t pure. I saw Yang Xing’s interest in you, and I saw your indifference towards him, but I worried that you guys being in the same circle, one day you might fall for him.

So, I came up with the idea of making you my sworn sister, because I saw in you that pride that’s carved deep in your bones, I believed that with this constraint, you definitely wouldn’t accept him.

Later, when it was rumored that the Yang Family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Luo Family, I really panicked, and I thought about talking to you about it, but I had not yet found the opportunity, when an unexpected outcome occurred.

When I heard Ye Xuan announce that you were the future granddaughter-in-law of the Ye Family, I was truly happy, I didn’t want to ruin our relationship from the bottom of my heart, really, I like your personality, I truly like it, not just to use you.

I thought that as long as I worked hard, one day he would see my good qualities, accept me. But today, this time, he clearly told me, we will never be together, [and] not to waste my efforts anymore..." Song Xiaoyang choked up and couldn’t continue.

Luo Ye hesitated slightly: "Sister Xiaoyang, I roughly guessed the things you said, and I’ll tell you, when I agreed to be your sworn sister, it was to put you at ease. I’m not blind, your love for Yang Xing is absolutely clear. But, after so many years you have loved him, can you tell me what exactly do you love about him?"

"What do I love about him?" Song Xiaoyang muttered to herself, showing a bitter smile: "Loving him seems to have become a habit. I like his strengths, and I can tolerate his faults.

He said that it was to avoid letting me get hurt further, that’s why he made it clear to me, his marriage is destined to be linked with the prosperity of the family, and my Song Family can’t offer him anything.

He told me that bluntly, but even so, I didn’t hate him, just that I clearly knew, this time, there’s really no possibility between him and me!"

Luo Ye gently tapped on the table: "If, I mean if, the Yang Family suddenly falls on hard times, and Yang Xing discovers, only by marrying you could bring him fame and fortune, would you still agree to marry him?"

"I think I would!" Song Xiaoyang covered her forehead in pain: "But, there’s no such possibility, because there is already a girl by his side who can help him."
