Chapter 3382: Nirvana (23)
To be fair, Yun Shishi treated Mu Xi well. To her, Mu Xi was not just an assistant but a friend. She had even invited the girl to be her bridesmaid at her wedding.
This meant that Mu Xi was someone of great significance to Yun Shishi, she was like family.
But Mu Xi betrayed her. This was what she could not get past! She trusted her wholeheartedly and did not doubt the assistant’s words at all, believing fully whatever she said!
She rarely trusted someone this much, however Mu Xi was Qin Zhou’s subordinate. Hence Mu Xi’s deeds were truly heartbreaking.
When Qin Zhou found out about this, he was furious. He even thought of punishing Mu Xi severely, but he was busy taking care of Yun Shishi at that point, so he could not spare the time.
Mu Xi had been hoping to see Yun Shishi. Whether the latter forgave her or otherwise, at least she had to apologize in-person. She had begged Qin Zhou, but the latter would only say, “Shishi trusted you so much, yet you betrayed her. And now you expect her to forgive you? She doesn’t even want to see you. Mu Xi, I’m utterly disappointed in you. I’d advise you to disappear from Shishi’s sight! Otherwise, I’d be forced to take action.”
Mu Xi trembled in fear when she heard this. It was not because she was afraid of Qin Zhou taking action against her, but because she was on the verge of a breakdown from self-blame.
One month after Youyou fell into the sea, Mu Xi made a suicide attempt by slitting her wrists at home. However, she was discovered in time and sent to the hospital.
Her initial intention was very simple. She saw this as payback for what she had done. She had harmed Shishi and Youyou, so she should compensate with her own life.
Although she knew that her life was not important to Yun Shishi, this was the best way she could think of. She did not dare ask for forgiveness. She only hoped to make an apology of appropriate scale!
However, the suicide attempt failed. The water from the bathtub had seeped through to her neighbor’s home downstairs, and they made a police report on the suicide attempt and hurriedly sent her to the hospital.
After more than twenty hours of emergency rescue, she survived the critical period.
When Yun Shishi found out about this, she felt that it was a pity and went to the hospital to visit the girl.
When Mu Xi saw her, her despair lifted and she was suddenly filled with life. She struggled to get off the bed and knelt in front of Yun Shishi with a thud. She cried bitterly, “Shishi, I’ve let you down! I don’t beg for your forgiveness… but other than doing this, I can’t find any other way to apologize! Shishi, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
She continued to kowtow, her forehead knocking against the ground as blood started to ooze from the bruise.
Yun Shishi looked at her and turned ashen, but she did not reach out to help her up. Her heart had already turned stone cold.
Even though the girl was crying her eyes out, she could not forgive her.
“I came to see you, not to hear all this.” Yun Shishi laughed coldly. “Do you feel very guilty? Do you really want to beg for my forgiveness? Yes, of course you blame yourself, but don’t you think that you’re being selfish?”
Mu Xi stared at her with wide eyes.
“You want my forgiveness because you want to feel better. You don’t want to live in guilt for the rest of your life, but I still can’t forgive you. In this matter, we are unable to empathize with each other. It’s like if the needle isn’t in your body, you won’t be able to feel my pain.”
