Chapter 465 Paradoxical Chapter
"Haitang, tell me, what happened yesterday that made you pretend to be sick." Yu Li came back too late yesterday, and she didn't ask because she was concerned about her sister's pregnancy. But today, when she got up and had time, she asked directly.
"Sister," Yu Haitang's voice was soft and her eyes flickered, as if every word she said weighed a thousand pounds. She bit her lower lip lightly, trying to make herself look calmer.
"I really... don't want you to worry about me, and I don't want you to think that I would become like this."
As she spoke, she slowly lowered her eyes, avoiding Yu Li's direct gaze, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of her clothes, revealing her inner struggle and anxiety.
Seeing this, Yu Li sighed distressedly, took a step forward, gently held Yu Haitang's hand, and said warmly and firmly: "Haitang, we are sisters. No matter what happens, I will stand by you. The more you don't say it now, the more worried I am."
Feeling her sister's warmth and support, Yu Haitang's eyes slightly reddened. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and continued:
"Actually, yesterday... I was a little bit out of control. Yu Shui... maybe she was busy recently, or she was in a bad mood, so she didn't hear me asking her to help buy food.
I felt uncomfortable, so I… I deliberately said some innuendos in front of other people, but I didn’t expect it to become such a big deal.”
At this point, Yu Haitang looked up at Yu Li, her eyes full of regret and self-blame: "I really just wanted a little revenge, I didn't expect it to get out of control like this."
"What ambiguous words?" Yu Li frowned, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She arrived late yesterday and obviously missed the beginning of the storm.
She leaned forward slightly, her hands unconsciously folded in front of her chest, her eyes fixed on Yu Haitang's face, trying to find the answer from her expression.
"It's...it's," Yu Haitang's voice became lower and lower. She lowered her head, her eyes flickering, as if she was avoiding something.
"I said the rain threw me halfway when I was feeling unwell... and then I said something... about her deliberately ignoring me."
At this point, Yu Haitang's voice was almost as thin as a mosquito. She didn't dare look directly into Yu Li's eyes, for fear of seeing disappointment and blame in her sister's eyes.
When Yu Li heard this, her face instantly darkened. She took a deep breath and tried to calm the anger and confusion in her heart.
She stood up, walked around the table, went to Yu Haitang, and put her hands on Yu Haitang's shoulders. Her strength was so great that Yu Haitang had to look up and look at her.
"You are such a worry!" Yu Li's tone was full of helplessness and heartache. She pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes showed both blame and heartache.
"Has Yu Shui been bad to you? Has she ever helped you over the years? Just because she didn't make you a meal, you made up such a lie to hurt her? Did you lose your mind because of your pregnancy? Or do you just not know how to cherish the people around you?"
Yu Li's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yu Haitang's heart again and again. Her eyes were red and tears were rolling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
She knew she was wrong, extremely wrong, unforgivable. She reached out and gently held Yu Li's hand, saying in a choked voice:
"Sister, I know I was wrong. I really didn't mean it. I just... I just felt so sad that I said that. I will apologize to Yu Shui, really, I will."
Looking at her sister's eyes full of regret and the tears streaming down her cheeks, the anger in Yu Li's heart seemed to be blown away by a breeze, and was replaced by a complex emotion.
She recalled her impulsive behavior yesterday, especially the undisguised anger and questioning when facing He Daqing and He Yuzhu, and couldn't help feeling guilty and frowned slightly.
