Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 887 - 336: If Only Time Could Turn Back (Part 5)

The cassette needed for the event was left at home. Shen Weiyi only realized it when she reached the company’s entrance, so she turned back to retrieve it.

The living room was very quiet, not even a servant in sight, so she assumed Mr. and Mrs. Lu had gone out and were not at home.

When she reached the second floor, she found the main bedroom door ajar. She intended to help close it, but unexpectedly found people inside.

Moreover, she heard something unbelievable.

Shen Weiyi stood at the doorway, her beautiful face turned pale, and she forced a smile, "Aunt Song, could you repeat what you just said? I didn’t hear it clearly."

Her voice was steady, but her hand hanging at her side was clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her tender flesh, her knuckles faintly turning white.

Song Jingyuan’s gentle face showed rare panic as she discreetly pushed the photo Lin Chu held into the corner of the sofa.

"Weiwei, why are you back?"

The smile on Shen Weiyi’s lips gradually faded, and her clenched fists tightened even more.

For the first time, Song Jingyuan, who was known for her elegant demeanor as a socialite, dared not meet her eyes.

Her delicate face was devoid of any warmth, "If I hadn’t come back, wouldn’t I have spent my life in the dark?"

The Lu Family, whom she was so grateful to, was hiding such a secret.

Since Lin Chu met Shen Weiyi, the latter had always been a typical good girl, especially in front of Song Jingyuan, never speaking loudly, obedient and gentle.

Just moments ago, Shen Weiyi had spoken to Song Jingyuan in a mocking tone.

Song Jingyuan hurriedly stood up, the panic in her eyes becoming more apparent, and shakily reached out to hold Shen Weiyi’s hand, only to be shaken off.

"It’s not what you think, Weiwei, listen to me..."

She wanted Shen Weiyi to listen to her explanation but was unable to continue.

Shen Weiyi looked coldly at the benefactor who had provided her a carefree life, her gaze gradually shifting downward to the location of the other’s heart.

The pain was as if it was bleeding.

"So, the heart you used to prolong your life was really taken out of my mother’s body?"

Song Jingyuan’s eyes were already wet, her gentle face filled with sorrow and guilt.

"It’s my fault for hiding it from you all these years, but it was also because your mother didn’t want you to know about this. Without her, I should have left this world long ago. I’m grateful, yet more guilty. Weiwei, neither I nor Old Lu have ever treated you as an outsider. The Lu Family will not wrong you and will do their best to compensate you."

Shen Weiyi let out a cold laugh, repeating the word "Compensation..."

She finally understood what she had been oblivious to for so many years.

"So, the ordinary daughter of a servant could be taken in by a ’kind’ lady as an adopted daughter, living a ’princess-like’ life, and even get engaged to a noble young man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. All these unimaginable things were exchanged for a heart."

All the kindness Mr. and Mrs. Lu had shown her over the years became a joke in this moment.

Everyone has only one heart. The Lu Family took her mother’s heart, and from that day, she became an orphan.

All gratitude crossed the boundary of hatred, fermenting into an unforgivable resentment.

Song Jingyuan reached out with trembling hands to hold her, a choked voice saying, "You grew up in the Lu Family, we know your temperament well, you were obedient since childhood, I lost..."

The words stopped abruptly.

She once had a daughter named Lu Yicheng, but she lost her completely one day.

The lively, cheerful angel left the world, and in a blink, so many years had passed, with few people remembering.

The scene of Yicheng and Huai’an playing in the snow on a snowy day seemed right in front of her.

That was the baby she carried for ten months, taken mercilessly by heaven.

Song Jingyuan liked Lin Chu, in part because the two girls were once good friends, and in part because she could see her daughter’s shadow in Lin Chu.

And she treated Shen Weiyi well not only because of the heart beating within her.

"Weiwei, Aunt is ashamed before you..."

Song Jingyuan’s hesitant words were seen as a guilty conscience in Shen Weiyi’s eyes. Her gaze mechanically moved to Lin Chu, who sat on the sofa with her head lowered, lost in thought.

Her cold eyes overflowed with a sneer.

"Even though you knew about my feelings for Huai’an, you pretended not to, gave me hopeful expectations, and then cruelly shattered them. Aunt Song, did you know how pathetic I was on the day Huai’an got married, when your family enjoyed happiness in the hall... turning me into a well-known joke, is this what you call compensation?"
