Chapter 2: The Estrangement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking back on the events in her past life, Su Jinyue’s eyes grew increasingly cold.
Song Yiren was a little surprised because Su Jinyue was staring at her without saying anything.
“Jinyue, what’s wrong with you?”
Jinyue was acting a bit weird today. It was as if she had become a different person. Especially the expression in her eyes. It was as if she was looking at an enemy, it was so cold that it gave her chills.
Su Jinyue gave her a faint smile and said, “It’s nothing. Just that my wound hurts a little.” Whatever Song Yiren owed her, she would get it back two fold in the future.
“Let me get you a painkiller,” Song Yiren said and headed outside.
“It’s fine, I’ll just sleep for a while.” Su Jinyue closed her eyes and ignored Song Yiren. Right now, she really didn’t want to see Song Yiren because she was afraid that she would not be able to control the urge to kill her.
With a frown, Song Yiren said, “Call out to me if you need something. I’ll just be outside.”
Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing into the distance, Su Jinyue opened her eyes. Lifting her left hand up, she stared at the jade bangle on her wrist.
Teacher had passed her the bangle when she was twelve years old. At that time, Teacher had told her that the bangle was found in her swaddling when he had first found her, and that she might be able to find her family through this jade bangle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll these years, she had always been wearing this bangle on her hand, but never had she thought about finding her biological family. Since they had abandoned her back then, it meant that they didn’t want her, so why should she look for them?
However, based on how Song Yiren had used all possible means to snatch away her jade bangle and desperately wanted to put her to death in her past life, it seemed like her family should be very powerful.?But how did Song Yiren learn about my family, and what was with that golden gleam that she flashed out from her eyes?
Su Jinyue fiddled with the bangle on her wrist. Now, she has changed her mind. She was going to find her biological family and make them a powerful backer for herself.
Before she knew it, Su Jinyue had dozed off. When she woke up again, the sky outside was completely dark.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, Su Jinyue raised her head and saw Song Yiren walking in with food.
With a small smile on her face, Song Yiren walked up to her and put the food down on the bedside table.
“There’s your favorite braised crucian carp today. Uncle Qing specially brought it over for you, when he found out that you’re injured.”
Although she didn’t understand why Jinyue looked at her the way she did before, they had grown up together and their relationship was even closer than that of ordinary sisters. Perhaps Jinyue was in a bad mood because she hurt her leg!
“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded lightly and slowly pushed herself up on the bed with both hands. Her leg injury this time was rather serious and she would pull on the wound with just the slightest movements.
Song Yiren stretched out her hand and said, “Let me help you.”
“It’s fine,” Su Jinyue rejected her offer in a soft voice. She really couldn’t act like nothing had happened.
Song Yiren retracted her hand. Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Su Jinyue.
She asked, “Did I make you angry somehow?” She could feel a wall between her and Jinyue.?What on earth is going on??she thought.
“No.” Su Jinyue picked up the food on the table and started eating.
“In that case, why are you ignoring me?” Sitting down at the edge of the bed, Song Yiren stared at Su Jinyue and waited for her answer.
Su Jinyue pretended not to hear her, and simply ate on her own.
Song Yiren shook her head helplessly and said, “I ran into Aunt Zhan on my way back from a house call and she said that Big Brother Zhan will be back soon.”
When she recalled Zhan Yihan’s tall and handsome figure, her heart pounded quickly. Since she was a child, she had always liked Zhan Yihan. He was different from other children and staying beside him gave her a sense of reassurance.
“Huh?” Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren in surprise.?Isn’t Yihan coming back in a month and a half? Can it be that because I was reborn again, other things changed along with that as well?
“Aunt Zhan received a letter from Big Brother Zhan yesterday. In the letter, it said that he’ll be back some time these next two days,” Song Yiren said with an expectant smile.?Big Brother Zhan has been gone for more than three years. I wonder how he is now. Will there be any changes??she wondered.
Su Jinyue nodded and her lips curled up in a small smile. It was also good to see Yihan earlier. In this life, she was not going to be as stupid as she had been in her past life. She clearly sensed his fondness for her, but she deliberately turned a blind eye to it and liked Mo Feiheng instead, who wore a hypocritical mask.
“Jinyue, do you remember when we went to the field to catch loaches with Big Brother Zhan, when we were young? It was so embarrassing that time. We didn’t catch many loaches at all yet our whole body was covered with mud. We nearly suffered a beating from Teacher.” Song Yiren covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Jinyue placed the bowl and chopsticks in her hands onto the table, before moving her body and slowly lying down. “I’m tired.”
Song Yiren always looked bashful whenever she talked about Zhan Yihan in front of her, making Su Jinyue misunderstand that she and Zhan Yihan were in that kind of relationship. It was the reason why she kept her distance from Zhan Yihan.
“Go on and rest then. I’ll bring your medicine in later.” Song Yiren stood up, cleared up the bowl and chopsticks and walked out with a cold expression on her face.?I don’t owe Su Jinyue anything. What rights does she have to treat me like this and ignore me? I’m the one who doesn’t give a sh*t. Humph!
Su Jinyue withdrew her gaze, bent over and opened the cupboard by the bed. She pulled out a book from it and began reading. After all that had happened in her past life, she couldn’t bring herself to chat and laugh with Song Yiren anymore. She had already made plans that when her leg injury healed, she would leave Shangxin Village and apply for college, after repeating a year of high school.
After failing the college entrance examinations in her past life, she had not attended school again and stayed by Teacher’s side until he passed away. Only then did she leave Shangxin Village to work outside. However, she did not want to repeat the past in this life.
In her past life, after her company was on the right track, she had specially hired a tutor to teach her in order to improve herself. With her current ability, it was not difficult for her to apply for college. However, as she did not have any connections right now, she had no choice but to go according to procedures and repeat her studies.
Xu Tiansheng walked in with the medicine. “Are you and Yiren at loggerheads?” He saw that Yiren was in a bad mood, so he asked what was the cause of it.
Su Jinyue put down the book and reached out to take the medicine bowl in Xu Tiansheng’s hand, “No, I’m just a little tired and don’t want to talk.”
“In that case, go to bed early after drinking the medicine. Don’t read at night, it’s not good for your eyes,” Xu Tiansheng said. He already regarded Jinyue and Yiren as his own children. He hoped that they would love each other like biological sisters and help each other out in the future.
“Okay!” Su Jinyue lifted her head and drank the medicine in the bowl.?It’s so, so bitter!
Seeing Su Jinyue wincing from the bitterness, Xu Tiansheng smiled, took out a piece of candy and handed it to her.
“Teacher, save it for yourself to eat. The bitterness will be gone after a while,” Su Jinyue said as she shook her head. Although it was 1985, candy was still a rarity.
“I’m not a kid, so why would I be eating candies.” Xu Tiansheng smiled. He stuffed the piece of candy into Su Jinyue’s hands and took the empty bowl from her.
“I’m not a kid either.” Su Jinyue playfully stuck out her tongue at Xu Tiansheng. In this life, she would definitely not let Teacher pass away as early as he did in her past life.
“You!” Xu Tiansheng smiled dotingly. Although it had been very difficult to raise them, he had gladly endured the hardship. If it hadn’t been for their company all these years, he wouldn’t have been that happy.
