Chapter 286: A Long-overdue Apology

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The situation was urgent. Murong Qiao didn’t have time to think too much and immediately called the chauffeur to stop the car.

She opened the car door and ran towards the river, her footsteps quick.

“Stop!” Murong Qiao shouted.

However, it was unknown if it was because she was too far away or something else, but her shout didn’t provoke any reaction.

Murong Qiao ran closer and closer and could vaguely tell that it was a woman.

However, it was as if the other party was deaf and did not hear her call at all. Her footsteps were slow, but she did not stop at all as she walked forward into the water which had reached her ankles.

Was she crazy?!

Murong Qiao frowned in confusion. She was so anxious that she quickened her pace and ran over at the fastest speed she had ever run in her life.

Ignoring how cold the river water at night was, Murong Qiao jumped into the water and swam to the person’s side. Before the water drowned the other party’s neck, she hurriedly grabbed her.

“You—”

Murong Qiao was about to say something when she met the gaze of the woman who was pulled away. Then, she fell silent.

It was a pair of empty, lifeless, and hopeless eyes.

Murong Qiao could not see any light in her eyes. At the same time, she recognized that the person in front of her was indeed Luo Wanbai, whom she had not seen for a long time.

The other party’s condition clearly didn’t look right, but she couldn’t care less now. Hence, Murong Qiao pulled Luo Wanbai ash.o.r.e with force.

However, before she could say anything, Luo Wanbai suddenly burst into tears.

She said, “I don’t want to live—”

Crumbling, helpless.

These two words were written clearly on Luo Wanbai’s face. After she was pulled ash.o.r.e by Murong Qiao, she squatted down and curled up into a ball. She buried her head in her knees and cried without any elegance.

The daughter of a once rich family had lost her composure completely at this moment as she cried miserably and sadly.

“…” Murong Qiao opened her mouth and fell silent.

She stood beside Luo Wanbai and squatted down to maintain the same height as her. She took off her coat and handed it to Luo Wanbai. Then, she reached out and slowly stroked her bent back, hoping that this would give her some warmth.

The crying continued for a while before slowly turning into sobs.

She couldn’t even finish her sentence. “1,1 broke up with Cheng Jie…”

Without Murong Qiao asking, she cried and told her everything.

Including how she saw Cheng Jie pestering Murong Qiao and then breaking up with her without hesitation.

Murong Qiao didn’t expect this to happen.

“I just—I just don’t think there’s any point in living,” she cried sadly.

After Cheng Jie said goodbye, she left the banquet.

She could not remember how she had walked to the riverside. She only felt that her mind was in a daze, and her thoughts had become countless flying fragments mixed together. Her head hurt and she was sad, and tears could not stop flowing.

She didn’t understand how things ended up like this.

Everything was fine in the beginning, but now that the Luo family had fallen and her father’s career had plummeted, Luo Wanbai could only watch helplessly as he buried himself in wine all day.

She was in pain and embarra.s.sment. Coupled with Cheng Jie’s proposal to break up today, her vision darkened and she was filled with despair.

Luo Wanbai’s words were in a mess. “My head hurts… As long as 1 die, everything will be fine. As long as 1 die…”

Murong Qiao frowned and stood beside her, listening to Luo Wanbai’s nonsense.

“That’s all it took to knock you down?” She scoffed.

Seeing Luo Wanbai, who was once arrogant and made things difficult for her, suddenly become like this and even want to end her life in such a way, Murong Qiao felt that she was a fool.

Luo Wanbai cried and shook her head, tears flowing uncontrollably down her cheeks.

“Woo…”

Those emotions that she had originally thought were unimportant and had even been forgotten by herself suddenly surged out from the depths of her heart and enveloped Luo Wanbai’s entire body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

“I—I just—burp.”

Hearing Murong Qiao’s words, Luo Wanbai couldn’t help but defend herself.

She wanted to say that it wasn’t like that, but as soon as she opened her mouth to cry and burp, she stopped herself.

Murong Qiao stood at the side. “You just what? You’re crying so badly. 1 really wonder if you’re still the eldest daughter of the Luo family.”

She deliberately sounded sarcastic and did not think of squatting down to comfort the other party.

Showing sympathy would only make the other party cry harder. Besides, Murong Qiao felt that her relationship with Luo Wanbai was not that close.

Although she and Luo Wanbai had never gotten along, Murong Qiao couldn’t watch her give up her life just like that.

“I’m the eldest daughter of the Luo family.” She instinctively resisted.

Hearing Murong Qiao’s th.o.r.n.y words, the resistance that had yet to be lost in her bones suddenly appeared.

She said hurriedly, wanting to prove something. She suddenly raised her head, but after meeting Murong Qiao’s cold eyes, she stopped.

That’s right, she was the eldest daughter of the Luo family.

Luo Wanbai finally realized what was going on. She pursed her lips and slowly stood up from the ground so that she was at the same height as Murong Qiao.

“Are you done?” Murong Qiao looked at her. “If you’re awake, live well. Don’t find trouble for yourself.”

There was only one life. As someone who had been reborn, Murong Qiao was deeply touched by this. At the same time, she cherished the chance to live life again.

Therefore, when she said this, her tone was a little gentler, but it was still cold and hard in Luo Wanbai’s ears.

Perhaps because her emotions were surging, Luo Wanbai acutely sensed the awkward sympathy hidden in Murong Qiao’s words.

Although it sounded quite harsh, Murong Qiao’s words did make her feel much better. Her mood now was not as heavy as before, and she no longer wanted to commit suicide.

“Thank you.” She wiped her tears and thanked Murong Qiao softly.

After crying for such a long time, Luo Wanbai’s original thoughts gradually faded, and her mind became much clearer.

Her voice had changed from crying to a hoa.r.s.e voice.

Seeing this, Murong Qiao took out the tissue from her pocket and handed it to her. This was the only tissue that survived after entering the water.

Luo Wanbai wasn’t embarra.s.sed. She probably knew that Murong Qiao had already seen her sorry state, so there was nothing to be pretentious about when she wiped her tears.

It was true that she wanted to commit suicide just now, but when she walked into the water and was pulled back, she realized that the person who saved her was Murong Qiao. The sadness and grievance in her heart were also true.

Luo Wanbai was silent for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry.”

She apologized so quickly that Murong Qiao, who was wondering if she should let Luo Wanbai go home by herself later, almost couldn’t keep up with her train of thought.

“Huh?” Murong Qiao sounded puzzled, as if she didn’t expect Luo Wanbai to suddenly mention this.

Luo Wanbai took a deep breath. “My att.i.tude towards you was very bad, and…

In short, it’s my fault.”

“I’m sorry, Murong Qiao.”

Luo Wanbai had never been so clear-headed.

She remembered what she had done to Murong Qiao in the past and even deliberately made things difficult for her. Now that she thought about it, she only felt apologetic.

“I shouldn’t have done that to you. Now, 1 brought this on myself.” She looked down and admitted her previous mistakes with a wry smile.

Recalling everything that had happened in the past, Luo Wanbai felt that it was ridiculous for her to vent her anger on Murong Qiao or others. Wasn’t it her fault that she had fallen to this state?

It was wrong of her from the very beginning..
