Chapter 793: A Friend Will Never Let You Down IV
“Since when?” Feng Ruqing turned to look at Luo Li.
“It happened just now, in Paramount. I literally broke up with her!”
It was because… as compared to Qin Xiaoyue, Luo Li could never be Qin Fei’er’s kin. Even if Qin Fei’er knew that Luo Li was injured, Qin Fei’er did not avenge Luo Li but had advised Luo Li to be more considerate and never stir up trouble so Qin Xiaoyue could marry Luo Li’s father successfully.
Since childhood, Qin Fei’er had always been guiding Luo Li like an elder and had taught her to render good for evil. However, Luo Li disliked Qin Xiaoyue.
‘Who does she think she is? Why must I humor Qin Xiaoyue? She knew that my arm was hurt but she didn’t let me go. Am I not a human too?’
“I was on good terms with Qin Fei’er before. We were friends since childhood. As I was thoughtless and insensible back then, Qin Fei’er had always guided me to be kind to others. Hence, I would bury all my grievances even if I was wronged. She told me that I would lose all my friends if I fought back. In order to be lovable, I must be gentle and sensible.
“I trusted her so much and treated her like my dearest sister in the world. However, who cares about my sorrow? It is not my fault. Why must I take a step back? When I have finally grown up, I didn’t want to step back anymore, but she wouldn’t stop guiding me. Moreover, I was afraid that her health would worsen if I ignored her words. Hence, I put up with all the nonsense before her and would only settle scores when she was not around.”
“My mother gave me a jade pendant before she passed away. I wore it when I went out a few years ago. When Mu Huan saw it, he wanted to take it away from me. I refused to give it to him but Qin Fei’er stopped me. She wanted me to be generous and never fight him. She said that she would give me another jade pendant when I returned home.
“But that was my mother’s. I knew that I was no match to Mu Huan. So, I asked my father to get it back for me.” Back then, Luo Li’s father had not fallen for Qin Xiaoyue yet. Naturally, he had defended Luo Li. However, the things that Qin Fei’er had done had broken Luo Li’s heart.
If Luo Li must be so generous to give her mother’s jade pendant away so that everyone would love her, then she did not want to be a lovable person.
If not for that strong friendship with Qin Fei’er, Luo Li would have cut Qin Fei’er out of her life back then.
However, once there was a fissure in a relationship, be it a friendship or romantic relationship, it would never be as strong as it was before. With just a small trigger, the relationship would fall apart. Apparently, Feng Ruqing was the trigger.
When Luo Li was overwhelmed by grief, it was Feng Ruqing who had walked over, pushed Qin Fei’er away, and got her away from the crowd.
Unlike Qin Fei’er, Feng Ruqing did not advise Luo Li to forgive others. She simply helped Luo Li, silently. Perhaps, that was what a true friend really meant.
“Indeed, Qin Fei’er is an all-rounder. I am no match for her. Everyone likes her so much… but I don’t want to be like that. I don’t want to be wronged anymore.”
Thinking of all the grievances buried in her heart, she could no longer hold back tears.
“Luo Li, a friend would never let you down.” Feng Ruqing stared solemnly at Luo Li.
Feng Ruqing was right. A true friend would never let you down.
“I understand it now. Perhaps, Qin Fei’er has never treated me as a friend since the beginning. I was just flattering myself. It doesn’t matter, I don’t care about her anymore. I don’t like people who don’t care about me.”
