Chapter 169: Chapter 168 I Can Take Medicine (20)

She never understood why Shi Che, who clearly adored her elder sister and was considered her perfect match, the golden boy to her jade girl, the pair everyone had always assumed would be together, and who had chosen her sister, ultimately agreed to marry her.

Although Mrs. Shi was authoritarian, had Shi Che firmly refused to marry her, she thought Mrs. Shi wouldn’t have been able to force him. However, it seemed he didn’t even consider it for a moment before agreeing.

At that time, everyone was shocked.

Not to mention her elder sister’s lack of understanding, even she herself couldn’t accept it—no way, not a thousand or ten thousand times over!

That very night, her elder sister cried all night long in her room, her eyes swelling from the tears, which pained her heart to witness.

Back then, although she appeared much more gentle on the surface, in reality, she had never been tamed since childhood, and she had never accepted Mrs. Shi’s doctrine of submission.

Whoever made her life difficult would get no peace from her either! And to mention it, the one hurt now was her most beloved elder sister!

At that moment, she was ready to confront Shi Che and demand to know why he treated her elder sister so! He clearly knew how much her sister liked him, loved him, so why did he not resist at all when Mrs. Shi asked him to marry her!

But her elder sister firmly stopped her, unwilling to let her find out the truth, no matter what. She couldn’t understand—her elder sister had suffered such a huge grievance; why swallow it in silence?

Her elder sister might endure it, but she couldn’t!

She would go and make a fuss with Mrs. Shi if she had to, she wouldn’t marry Shi Che, not even if she were to die! Even if Mrs. Shi threw her out of the Shi Family, she was willing to take that risk! After all, she had grown up; she was capable, and even if she left, she wouldn’t starve!

Yet at that time, her elder sister just cried non-stop, clung to her, and wouldn’t let her go. Watching her sister cry, her own tears streamed down uncontrollably, cursing Mrs. Shi and Shi Che while she wept, especially Shi Che – calling him a bastard, accusing him of betrayal, and cowardice!

Back then, she and Shi Che had a good relationship; she always saw him as a good buddy. Yet he betrayed her elder sister this way. As she cursed him, sorrow engulfed her as well, as if Shi Che had abandoned her too.

In the end, her elder sister, through tears, begged her never to ask Shi Che why he didn’t marry her but married her instead. She asked to retain her last bit of dignity and not want to lose face completely before Shi Che.

No matter how hard it was for Ling Chuxia to swallow this injustice, she could not refute her elder sister at such a time. Her sister wept so heartbreakingly, her beautiful face all disheveled. Her fists clenched tightly, the veins on the backs of her hands standing out starkly.

She had never seen her elder sister in such disarray; she should have been that beautiful goddess, always so graceful, dignified, and beautiful.

And yet, for Shi Che, she wept until heavens blurred and heart shattered.

Ling Chuxia was utterly incapable of refusing her sister’s request. She could only protect her sister’s pride and uphold her arrogance for her.

Remembering her sister, Ling Chuxia’s eyes reddened, and moisture gathered in their depths. Her hand instinctively gripped the medicine box tighter, before she finally took a deep breath, pulled the drawer open, and tossed the medicine box back inside.

She had no regrets!

Even if the lies were eventually exposed, she would face any consequences head-on!
