Mu Junze knelt on the ground, silent.
In the entire space, only Linda's mocking laughter and Meng Nianchu's cries remained.
As Linda laughed, she began to cry, recalling all the things of the past.
In that story, she was still called Meng Rong.
At first, she was also doted on by her parents. But somehow, as she and her younger sister grew up, her younger sister became more and more popular, while she herself always made a fool of herself in the process of seeking attention.
In her school days, although she was good - looking, she could never catch the eye of the boys she liked. And the boys she liked always fell for her younger sister, Meng Nianchu.
"Is this some kind of a timed curse?"
As she got older, she found it harder and harder to study. Helplessly, she had to choose a performing major, which didn't require high academic performance. As a result, she was often scolded by her parents.
On the contrary, Meng Nianchu, because she loved music, studied well and was obedient, got her parents' support and was successfully admitted to a conservatory of music.
"I'm not bad either, am I?"
Meng Rong reflected on herself more than once. She began to skip classes, drink alcohol, stay out at night, and hang out with the bad students at school all day long.
Until one day before the college entrance examination, at a party, a boy who had drunk too much told Meng Rong about her birth.
This was like the collapse of the last foundation of her parents in her heart.
Falling with her soul and heart were also the broken pieces of beer bottles all over the sky.
It was the first time she had beaten someone, and then she was punished by the school.
During a quarrel with her parents, they admitted that she was an adopted daughter. But they also swore that they had never been biased against her because of her identity, nor had they ever favored Meng Nianchu just because she was their biological daughter.
But Meng Rong no longer believed them.
From that moment on, she began to target Meng Nianchu everywhere, make things difficult for her and find ways to play tricks on her.
However, Meng Nianchu could always turn the tables and there was always someone to help her through the difficulties.
Meng Rong didn't believe in fate, but she always lost, always lost, always lost...
Until she was disfigured and had nothing, Meng Rong completely disappeared.
After plastic surgery, she continued to live under the name of Linda.
Later, she met Jin Hui, a man who only needed her to offer her beauty in exchange for his manpower and financial resources, which gave her a great advantage.
Her strength was quickly restored, and she was also able to come back to compete with Meng Nianchu, who was backed by Mu Junze.
But she didn't expect that she was one step too late again.
Meng Nianchu was already pregnant with Mu Junze's child and had become as precious as a pearl in his palm.
Although she could rely on Jin Hui's strength, she could only get about 30% of it, and she had to accompany him. But as long as Meng Nianchu was wronged, Mu Junze would spare no expense to help her.
The strength gap was completely unequal.
"Am I really... really never going to win against her?"
Linda didn't believe this. Since she could be reborn, it meant that God had given her a chance to win. Otherwise, she would have died long ago, just like Meng Rong.
All the subsequent actions such as framing, business wars, poisoning Meng's father and assassinating Meng's mother cost a great deal of manpower and material resources, but all ended up in vain. She lost every battle to Meng Nianchu.
It was not until now that she really felt that she seemed to have won against her a little.
...
"Hey, Meng Nianchu, do you think I'm really that bad?"
Linda whispered beside Meng Nianchu.
"Mm mm mm... mm..."
"Oops, I forgot you can't talk."
As Linda said, she reached out and tore off the tape on Meng Nianchu's mouth.
"You heart - less bastard! You're not even human!"
As soon as Meng Nianchu regained her ability to speak, she began to scold Linda. At this moment, manners didn't matter.
"Junze! Stand up! Don't do this. Who are you kneeling to this evil spirit for?"
Meng Nianchu cried and shouted at Mu Junze.
Linda was helpless. She should have known that Meng Nianchu would never say anything good about her.
"I'm doing this for you!"
Mu Junze suddenly shouted. This startled Meng Nianchu and she fell silent for a moment.
"Didn't I say that I would protect you from harm for a lifetime? Do you remember? I always keep my word and never break my promise."
Mu Junze smiled and continued, "You're a bit silly and always get me into trouble. But after you went missing last night, I calmed down and thought about it. I really can't do without you now."
Hearing Mu Junze say this, Meng Nianchu's tears kept flowing. Even though she had shed a lot of tears, because of Mu Junze, she would shed them all without hesitation.
"I'm sorry!" Meng Nianchu cried, "I'm sorry! Junze! I'm always so stupid and weak. I always get you into trouble, make you worry about me and suffer for me. Now you have to endure such humiliation. I'm really sorry! Sometimes, I'm also willful, misunderstand things and over - think..."
"Enough!"
Linda let out a scream and interrupted Meng Nianchu.
She squatted down, put the knife against Meng Nianchu's face and said fiercely, "Sister, to be honest, do you hate me?"
"Hate!" At this point, Meng Nianchu was no longer afraid. "I wish you had died back then. I wish Mom and Dad had never adopted you. Then they wouldn't have been harmed by you, an ungrateful wretch!"
Hearing Meng Nianchu's answer, Linda laughed sinisterly.
"You hate me? I hate you too!"
As Linda said, she raised the knife and twirled it in front of Meng Nianchu's eyes. She said slowly, "I've also fantasized countless times. If you hadn't been born, would Mom and Dad have always only loved me? Without you, would I have become the most shining and attractive one? If there had been no you, would all the boys I loved have loved me?"
Linda sighed.
"Alas, it's a pity that because of you, I didn't get Mom and Dad's love; because of you, I didn't get my classmates' love; because of you, I didn't get the love of the people I loved; and still because of you, I didn't get the love of my fans... It's all because of you that I can never get love!"
As Linda said, she began to go crazy hysterically. She shouted wildly, pulled her own hair, scratched her face and neck, and stared at Meng Nianchu with red eyes. "You're a curse to me! As long as you're still alive, I can never be happy!"
As Linda said, she walked behind Meng Nianchu and dragged her and the bench forward together.
"What are you doing! Stop!" Meng Nianchu shouted in horror.
"What am I doing? Humph! I'm going to make you pay back all you've taken from me!"
Linda sneered a few times. "You'll die now. Then I'll also commit suicide. After we're reborn, I'll be the younger sister! You, the elder sister, should be nice to me～hahaha"
"Stop! You crazy woman!"
Mu Junze was shocked and his mind was in a complete mess.
