Chapter 20 heartache, how much do you hate me!

After hearing the familiar voice, Xia Weiyang's body swayed slightly. The heartache that had not yet healed emerged again. The pain was suffocating.

While she was faced away from the person who had just entered the shop, Xia Weiyang took a deep breath and controlled her emotions.

She thought she did not care anymore. She thought she had already forgotten the past. She thought she had already moved on.

However, it seemed she had overestimated herself.

After all, she had loved him for more than ten years. It was impossible for her to forget about her painful past in just a blink of an eye.

What could Xia Weiyang do about Lu Ziyin?

"Lu Ziyin, don't talk about my sister like that. She must be going through a difficult time." Xia Ningyan's soft and weak voice rang out.

After hearing her sister's voice, Xia Weiyang's lips curled into a cold smile.

Xia Ningyan was so pretentious!

Her voice made Xia Weiyang want to vomit.

"Xia Ningyan, you're just too kind-hearted. You always speak up for her. When has she ever been good to you? She doesn't deserve to be treated well!" Lu Ziyin said indignantly.

Xia Weiyang closed her eyes as she endured the bitterness in her heart. She then turned around and gazed upon the couple who had their arms around each other. "It's already late, but your two are still in a lively mood."

"I've been wanting to buy a piece of clothing, but I haven't had the time to get it. Lu Ziyin took some time off to take me shopping. I didn't expect to bump into my sister here," Xia Ningyan said as she tucked her hair behind her ears. Her voice was very gentle.

"Sister, why are you wearing men's clothes? Did you..." Xia Ningyan had a worried look on her face. She wanted to say something about Xia Weiyang, but she hesitated.

Xia Weiyang sensed that the other people inside the shop were looking at her and judging her.

A trace of anger flashed across Xia Weiyang's eyes.

"Xia Weiyang, did young master Shi Jue abandon you? You've hooked up with another man, and now you've been abandoned by another man!" Lu Ziyin's vicious words rang out again.

"You're really shameless. You've completely humiliated the Xia family. Don't ever say that you're a member of the Xia family in the future. Ah, right! You're not a member of the Xia family to begin with. You're just the adopted daughter of the Xia family. You're nothing but a pitiful wretch abandoned by your real parents."

"Not only are you not grateful to your family, but you've also done something that dishonors the Xia family's reputation! If you have any self-awareness, you should leave the Xia family completely!"

...

She did not care how others treated her.

But, Lu Ziyin was insulting her!

He was different!

Although Xia Weiyang stood defiantly in front of Lu Ziyin, her entire body trembled.

There were no words to describe what she felt at that moment.

When she was with Lu Ziyin, he was always quiet. She thought that he did not like to talk.

However, she did not expect that Lu Ziyin's silence was a sign of his hatred for her.

Lu Ziyin was no longer quiet. He filled his words with insults and slanderous accusations.

Why did Lu Ziyin hate Xia Weiyang so much?

As she leaned against Lu Ziyin, Xia Ningyan lowered her eyes and tried to hide the smile that formed on her lips.

'Xia Weiyang, this is only the beginning. I will take everything away from you. When we were young, you couldn't defeat me. Now that we're older, it seems nothing has changed. I will always defeat you.'

Xia Ningyan felt happy as she imagined Xia Weiyang's miserable life.

"Are you done?"

Xia Weiyang suppressed the pain she felt in her heart. She faced Xia Ningyan and Lu Ziyin with an indifferent expression as if they were strangers to her.

Lu Ziyin paused and inadvertently looked into Xia Weiyang's cold eyes.

He could not help but frown. He did not know why, but he preferred Xia Weiyang to continue arguing with him than remain cold and quiet.

It was a confusing thought for Lu Ziyin. Sometimes, he could not understand himself.

"Sister, I know that it's very hard for you every time you see Lu Ziyin smiling at me. I know that you feel very uncomfortable whenever he shows how much he cares about me. It makes you feel like you have sh*t in your heart," Xia Ningyan coldly said as she looked straight into Xia Weiyang's eyes.
