For how much she used to love Gong Zeyang, she was in as much pain right now.
Su Ziyue turned around and looked at Su Yige coldly. For the first time, she was thankful for everything Su Yige did to her.
If Su Yige hadn't slipped her drugs to set her up when she had just returned, she would never have crossed paths with Qin Muchen.
It was hard for her to imagine how she'd be if she'd never met Qin Muchen.
If Su Yige wasn't so obsessed with Gong Zeyang, and if the person who got together with Gong Zeyang was her, then what Su Yige was meeting today would've happened to her.
Her feelings were complicated.
"You're thinking too much. There are a lot of things in the world that are worth being happy about. I'm not that crude to feel happy over seeing another person's misery. I'm not you after all."
Su Ziyue spoke calmly but didn't miss the chance to make a pointed remark about Su Yige.
Su Yige looked at Su Ziyue in a stupefied manner. She was shedding tears numbly and looked like she had no will left to live.
Su Ziyue had just got off from an over ten-hour flight and her complexion wasn't looking too good.
But her eyes were bright and beautiful. The clothes on her were picked out by Qin Muchen in Country J. It was in a gorgeous red and was tailored well, making her look healthy and dazzling.
Su Yige suddenly admired her.
For over twenty years, she'd been jealous of Su Ziyue and hated Su Ziyue, but this was the first time she felt admiration.
She only felt admiration like a normal and kind person, rather than jealousy.
"Su Ziyue, I used to be really jealous of you last time." Su Yige's voice was hoarse.
Su Ziyue was thinking of something else. She hadn't called Qin Muchen yet.
Hearing Su Yige say that unexpectedly, she only wrinkled her brows but said nothing.
"My child doesn't belong to Gong Zeyang. I don't know who he was trying to curry favors with, but he sent me to sleep with another man. Now he's trying to get rid of this child. He's afraid that me cheating on him would give him a bad reputation. He wants to ruin my reputation so that he can openly divorce me..."
Su Yige's voice was very calm, like she was speaking about someone else.
Before this, Su Ziyue would've never dreamt that one day she'd just be sitting calmly with Su Yige and... chatting.
The hatred and unkindness on Su Yige's face had vanished. Only despair and exhaustion were left.
"Those men are outside. You can deal with them however you see fit. I have other things to do." Su Ziyue hugged her arms. She didn't want to hear this at all. She kept looking around impatiently.
Su Yige could feel her impatience and actually smiled at her. "Mm. You can leave. I'll wash my face before going out."
Su Ziyue looked at her suspiciously.
It couldn't be that Su Yige had no bone to pick with her after she saved her, right?
After all, according to Su Yige's past temperament, she would say something irrational like, "Who asked you to save me? This is all thanks to you..." at a time like this.
Su Ziyue didn't want to think anymore. She turned around and left.
When she went out, Nan Chuan asked, "Where's that woman?"
He still didn't know that the woman Su Ziyue saved was Su Yige.
"She said she wants to wash her face before coming out." Su Ziyue leaned against the door disinterestedly.
Nan Chuan wrinkled his brow upon hearing that. "Mrs. Qin, are you sure that she's really washing her face and not taking it to heart instead?"
Su Ziyue's heart sank abruptly. She thought of how Su Yige was smiling at her before she came out, then turned and rushed in.
"Gong Zeyang, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
"Smack!"
Su Ziyue heard this when she went in. She raised her head to see Su Yige throwing the phone out.
She called using the hotel landline.
Then, she ran toward the window.
Su Ziyue pursed her lips angrily. She ran toward her while yelling, "Are you a three-year-old child? Do you think people become ghosts after dying? Nonsense, everything is gone after people die."
"Su Ziyue, don't come here!" Su Yige was already at the window. Both her hands clung on to the edge of the window tightly. All she needed to do was to leap slightly then she'd be able to jump out.
Su Ziyue stopped and looked at her. "They didn't even do anything to you, what is there to jump out for!"
"But there's no meaning if I continue living. My life is ruined. I used to look down on you and I felt that you didn't deserve anything you received. But now you're living a better life than me. You have good friends, a dad that cares for you, a man who loves you... You have everything, but what about me? I've put in twenty years' worth of effort but I'm living like a joke. I don't have anything at all!"
Su Yige sounded broken and sorrowful. Su Ziyue nearly felt that with Su Yige living like this, it wouldn't really matter if Su Yige died.
But Su Yige knew that those who really sought death would've never said so much to Su Ziyue.
Actually, Su Yige had someone pulling her up.
"What are you talking about? You still have a child, and his father isn't Gong Zeyang. He isn't born. He'll have a brand-new life and will become a good person. He won't be like Gong Zeyang. And it's not like you have nothing at all. You're young and beautiful, and you have academic qualifications and capabilities. You'll meet a much better man than Gong Zeyang in the future. Your life still has infinite possibilities. Dying for scum like that isn't worth it!
Su Ziyue spoke fast because she was nervous.
She looked at Su Yige carefully. She was afraid that Su Yige would jump down with one glance.
Su Yige looked at Su Ziyue. She said after a moment, "Does life really still have infinite possibilities?"
"Of course. You see, I was set up so miserably by you years ago, but am I not doing well now? If you don't want to give birth to this child, you don't have to do so! Nothing can restrict or stop you from living a better life. As long as you want to, you can live a better life! There's nothing that won't pass! Believe me!"
Su Ziyue felt that all the advice that she'd give in her lifetime was all said today.
What she said was still useful to Su Yige.
Su Yige's eyes slowly lit up, but quickly faded again.
Su Ziyue panicked. "Did you know? Qin Muchen and Gu Hanyan were engaged two years ago. My child was gone. At that time, I also felt that the sky was going to fall and that there was no meaning to life anymore. But am I not doing pretty well now?"
Hearing that, the corner of Su Yige's lips moved. It was like she was about to say something, but she didn't say a word.
She looked down and it was as if she thought for a while, like she was making some sort of resolution. She suddenly walked toward Su Ziyue.
She asked Su Ziyue, "I have nowhere to go at the moment. Can you put me up for a night?"
Su Ziyue hesitated before nodding. "Yes."
She would let Su Yige stay at her apartment.
"Thank you."
Su Yige moved the corner of her lips and gave an unconvincing smile.
She couldn't die yet. Gong Zeyang had to pay for what he owed her.
She also had to pay for what she owed others.
No one can always do as they please.
