Chapter 874: The Truth about Eight Years Ago! (22)
Betray…
Qiao Lian clenched her fists tightly, unable to utter a word.
The notion of that word was too much to bear.
At the time, it had never entered her mind that withdrawing from the team club because her hands were injured would have amounted to any sort of betrayal in the eyes of Shen Liangchuan and Soul Fighter.
She thought of that particular meeting with Zi Chuan that never took place because he did not turn up.
What had she thought at that time?
Yes, it had felt like betrayal.
All of these eight years, she had held a grudge and wouldn’t let it go, because she had felt that Zi Chuan had betrayed her.
So at that time, when she left the team, it must have felt like a great betrayal from Soul Fighter’s and Zi Chuan’s perspectives.
200 thousand.
She had never known about this.
It was no wonder that Song Yuanxi hated her so much.
And it was no wonder Shen Liangchuan felt so much guilt.
She suddenly thought that if she were Shen Liangchuan…
If her own friend had been by her side in her toughest moments to comfort and encourage her, and if in the end, he saved her and died in an accident…
What could have been in his mind the moment Soul Fighter pushed him out of the way?
He would have rather been hit than see his own friend die before his eyes.
Hence…
Was she the one who had killed Soul Fighter?
Qiao Lian felt every bit of energy drain out of her body.
She slumped onto the chair, feeling completely spent.
She had always thought that what happened eight years ago had been a misunderstanding.
She had never met Soul Fighter, so how could Soul Fighter’s death have anything to do with her?
Yet the truth was nothing like what she could have imagined.
Qiao Lian looked at Song Yuanxi with her mouth agape and nodded slowly as the truth hit her. She wanted to explain that it had been because of her injuries at that time that she had withdrawn from the team, that her intentions had not been to betray them.
But the words would not come out, and neither would they go away.
So what?
Even if she had a reason, so what?
Soul Fighter was dead.
He had died because her actions had incurred a penalty they couldn’t afford.
He had died to save his friend Zi Chuan.
She had been confident that after knowing the truth about eight years ago, she could help Shen Liangchuan get better.
But now, she finally understood that the situation had come to a dead end.
She sat there in a daze.
She was at a loss, lonely, helpless and on top of everything, she felt a boundless pain and guilt. Those emotions washed over her and drowned her like a tidal wave.
It was her…
Everything had to do with her.
Her heart felt as though it was being sliced by a blade, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.
The pain made her realize the sort of psychological pressure that Shen Liangchuan was facing. He had protected her from this information because he was afraid that it would cause her sorrow and guilt?
Even the mighty Shen Liangchuan could not take the psychological blow and ended up with insomnia.
Qiao Lian’s eyes teared at once.
And those tears, they rolled down her cheeks.
She clenched her fists tightly and clutched her chest after a moment.
She had never known what Shen Liangchuan had done for her, but right at this moment she understood.
When Song Yuanxi had been on the verge of killing her, it was Shen Liangchuan who had taken the hit. He had pushed aside his friend’s little sister to protect her.
Was it from that moment, was it from the time that Song Yuanxi had been sent to the rehab home, that Shen Liangchuan had started to feel the guilt weighing heavily on him?
She widened her eyes and stared at Song Yuanxi. Song Yuanxi spoke, “Do you know why I decided to tell you the truth now?”
Qiao Lian shook her head.
Song Yuanxi opened the door.
The psychologist walked into the room and said, “The key of the patient’s conundrum is you. Hence, the only way to cure the patient is for you to leave him.”
