Chapter 3: “Exceptional” Cinderella…

T/N: The word here could also be a slang that meant to be used sarcastically (ironically) to point out something that is outrageous, annoying to the extreme, gross, or lousy. I didn’t know which word I am supposed to use, so I just went with the literal one.

Lou Yaoyao waited in anticipation for quite a while. In the end, this text message was as if throwing a stone and saw it sink without trace in the sea.

To throw a stone and see it sink without trace in the sea (idiom): to elicit no response

Obviously, that previous text message was just shortly before. In the end, after a moment of blankness, she once again went over the last text message, unexpectedly it hadn’t been noticed? Had it not been seen, or was he currently busy? If he had seen but not replied, then did it indicate that Qin Zhi didn’t want to reply her text message?

Lou Yaoyao’s heart was mixed with all kinds of flavours. If it were before, had she made a telephone call, regardless whether he had been working or at the meeting, he would have had to pick up her call! However, wasn’t that a little unreasonable?

The had been unreasonable for many years Lou Yaoyao, for the first time had a self awareness.

Remembering her best friend had once persuaded: Unreasonable woman is indeed despicable, but if there were no one who indulged her unreasonableness, in that case, she is not only despicable but also pathetic.

Lou Yaoyao only now thought herself both despicable and pathetic.

Not even the deepest love can survive being worn away, like that time she liked Chen Hao, chased after Chen Hao, because he had always taking the attitude of not accepted nor refused, drifting between her and Lou Qingqing, she had forgotten entirely, when she had lost the feeling of love, yet she hadn’t wanted to give up, also couldn’t have given up, because she couldn’t let it went according to Lou Qingqing’s wish!

The thing she couldn’t obtain, Lou Qingqing was also not allowed to want it!

Carrying this kind of thought, she had fought to the death with Lou Qingqing to the end. Finally she had won, but also lost.

She had succeeded in getting engaged with Chen Hao. However this pair of couple had been using “couldn’t tell her, afraid of hurting her” reason, secretly dated for five years! The whole five years, she had been like an idiot, being fooled by them this pair of couple.

How idiot she had been, to never have found out?

If her best friend had not told her, that she saw them —this pair of couple— together went to meet gynecology, she would had always been completely in the dark.

In the end, what had she, Lou Yaoyao, done wrong? This pair of couple acted this way toward her, one person was the fiancé she was about to marry, the other was her blood related older sister of the same father but different mothers, had they treated her as dead?

In the end, what had they wanted?

Most possibly, if she hadn’t found out, Lou Qingqing would have attended her wedding ceremony with a baby bump.

Before getting engaged, her mama had already persuaded her, that Chen Hao would want to marry her, entirely because the crisis in Chen Hao’s company. He urgently needed a large sum of funds. Before he had already requested help to Mama several times, but the “business is business” Mama had refused. However, once he became son-in-law, in any case, she wouldn’t let her daughter’s husband went bankrupt, would she?

At that time, although she had been hesitated, but how could she let go of this opportunity to completely defeat Lou Qingqing!

Lou Yaoyao’s Mama, Fang Xilei was a workaholic, although she was beautiful, but she had no interest to look for her own boyfriend. After enduring her father’s repeated prod, finally she chose the also workaholic Papa, Lou Yuanzhi, who worked at the company. At that time, Lou Yuanzhi already had a live-in girlfriend. Between the gentle and lovely live-in girlfriend, and the domineering rich female superior (boss), Lou Yuanzhi concealed the truth about former and chose the latter.

Man climb his way up, is not altogether unjustifiable.

Only, at that time, the live-in girlfriend had already been pregnant, she secretly gave birth to a child. For all those years that woman hadn’t sought for Lou Yuanzhi, Lou Yaoyao was unaware.

She only knew, after her maternal grandfather passed away when she was thirteen years old, the next year, that woman took Lou Qingqing to their house. To say, she was also pitiful, hadn’t been able to endure until the legitimate wife died, she had been knocked down by cancer first.

Facing the woman who was kneeling down and kowtowing, and Lou Yuanzhi’s plea, although Fang Xilei was very disgusted with this matter and also very disgusted with Lou Qingqing’s existence, she was also not hardhearted to drive Lou Qingqing out. But because of this, her marriage with Lou Yuanzhi soon worsened to the freezing point. These years, they had been cold toward each other.

Others said that Lou Qingqing was the return to rich and powerful Cinderella, and she was the vicious younger sister who wasn’t able to tolerate the older sister, fighting over everything with the older sister!

At the beginning, she had liked this older sister. She had been the only child, and suddenly she had an older sister, how could she not curious nor like? Initially, everything had been great. The older sister had also been quite modest toward her, had yield to her for everything. However, she soon found out that her father, who had always been stern and cold-hearted toward her, unexpectedly was extremely kind and loving toward her older sister. Almost everything she asked for, her older sister had never fought against her, had never snatched from her. Because so long as her older sister didn’t fight nor snatch, father would compensate her older sister tenfold, hundredfold!

How could Lou Yaoyao not hate, how could she not jealous?

Yes, she was jealous! She was selfish! You wanted to yield, then you didn’t want anything? Gave everything away! You wanted to be virtuous? Then you continued to be virtuous toward me!

Until Chen Hao appeared.

The elder sister who had never argued with her, never fought with her, unexpectedly told Lou Yaoyao that she had feeling toward Chen Hao. Others said she was vicious, not only she had snatched her older sister’s things, but she also snatched even her boyfriend. Obviously… obviously… she was the first one to take fancy of him!

At this point, Lou Yaoyao became thoroughly distorted!

Therefore, regarding Lou Yaoyao’s change of personality to be this kind of unpleasant, it was also related to Lou Qingqing.

In the end, Lou Yaoyao had also walked the same old path as her mama, if hadn’t been exposed, perhaps many years later, that child would be brought to live in her house too, and so would Lou Qingqing!

This was exactly the kindheartedness and modesty of her Cinderella older sister!

If before she had merely hated and disliked Lou Qingqing, at that moment she wished that Lou Qingqing would drop dead!

Lou Qingqing indeed died, died under her own cleverness.

—”Yaoyao, sorry, we did not deliberately hide it from you. I knew you like Chen Hao, you will not be able to endure this shock, we only hid this matter because we didn’t want you to be hurt.”

—”Yaoyao, Chen Hao, he loves you, you rest assure, I will take this child away from here, we will never appear in front of the both of you!”

………………

—”Ha ha, so what? I indeed did it on purpose. You are as disgusting as your lofty yet lowdown Mother. Aside from snatching others’ boyfriend, what can you both do?”

—”I will never abort the child. Lou Yaoyao, even if you marry Chen Hao, then what? I will forever become your and his thorn. Whenever you see Chen Hao, you will think of me, later when you both have child together, you will think of my child! Ha ha, Lou Yaoyao, do you think you have won? No, you lose. You could only live under my shadow for your entire life! There will never be an opportunity to turn the table anymore!”

Lou Qingqing became mad, she also became mad. She picked up the fruit knife which she didn’t know how it could get to be in her hand, and charged into Lou Qingqing.

Afterwards, both of them tussled with each other. Her physical strength was not as good as Lou Qingqing, naturally was no match for the other. She could only passively push and shove Lou Qingqing. After being pushed for quite a while, Lou Qingqing lost her footing and fell down on the floor. It could be said that Lou Qingqing was out of luck, Lou Yaoyao hadn’t held back her strength and somehow fell on Lou Qingqing’s body.

That knife, somehow stabbed her.

Lou Qingqing who had been performing a show for quite a while, didn’t count that on that day, a large-scale traffic accident happened. Chen Hao, who should have arrived at the earlier time, was stuck on the road, had been missing this most wonderful show.

Then, afterwards… Lou Yaoyao frantically dialed the telephone to call Qin Zhi.

Although Lou Qingqing had accidentally died, but she should also die contently. After all, when she had been alive, she hadn’t let Lou Yaoyao have an easy time, then even after she had died, she also didn’t let Lou Yaoyao have an easy time.

---

Until there was a text message notification on the cell phone, Lou Yaoyao only then recovered. She touched her face to find that her face was covered with tears. She had cried… cried? Why should she cry? These two were absolutely unworthy of her tears!

Lou Yaoyao didn’t bother to wipe her tears, she opened the text message in her cell phone without delay, it was Qin Zhi’s reply. It merely had a word “okay”, it didn’t even have any punctuation mark, but Lou Yaoyao was still very much satisfied. She looked at it over and over again and somehow still hadn’t seen enough.

When Chen Hao and Lou Qingqing opened the door and came in, they saw Lou Yaoyao stood by the window with a face like an idiot, yet still had tears on her face.

The two of them were frightened, had Lou Yaoyao gone mad?

Lou Qingqing suppressed the joy in her heart, called to probe: “Yaoyao.”

Lou Yaoyao only then notice the two persons, she frowned, drew out tissue to wipe her tears, and observed this two persons with disgust. The seven years younger Lou Qingqing combed her hair in a ponytail, she wore a plain and simple gray checkered blouse and a washed white jeans, with a pair of white fabric shoes. She looked like a village girl, plain and simple as if her whole family had abused her, not like the several years later alluring and beautiful her. And Chen Hao wore his trademark white shirt and white tailored pants, full of sunshine and handsome as always.

Lou Yaoyao rolled her eyes: “Lou Qingqing, don’t call me like that, I’m not familiar with you.”

“Yaoyao, I know you’re still angry with me, still blame me, but I really didn’t take your thing. The thing that you look for yesterday, Aunt has found it. It was you who carelessly let it fall under the table.” Fang Xilei never hid her disgust toward Lou Qingqing, naturally she would never let Lou Qingqing called her ‘mother’.

Listening to Lou Qingqing’s aggrieved voice, Lou Yaoyao felt sick. Fell under the table? Were her eyes made of plastic, that she couldn’t see that big of a box?!

“Fine, the misunderstanding is resolved.” Looking at Lou Yaoyao’s face getting more and more bad, Chen Hao took out an item: “Yaoyao, you must be hungry, I brought you your most favourite strawberry cake.”

Lou Yaoyao didn’t feel like looking at them, directly send them off: “The doctor said that I need a quiet rest, please go!”

Chen Hao thought that she was still angry, moreover he had came together with Lou Qingqing, Lou Yaoyao must be feeling jealous. He revealed an understanding smile and said in appeasing manner: “Yaoyao, no matter how angry you are, you also shouldn’t harm yourself, be obedient and eat your breakfast first!”

Be obedient? Screw you!

Lou Yaoyao almost couldn’t restrain herself from smashing her cell phone on his face. Because she hated to part with the text message inside the cell phone, she endured this impulse. She let them leave, precisely because she was worry that she was unable to control her anger and took a chair to smash their face. She certainly didn’t want the opportunity to start over once more, that was earned with great difficulty, yet was crushed to death because of these two and lost in vain!

Chen Hao almost thought that his eyesight had blurred, what did he seen? The one that had always obedient with him; the see, hear and obey Lou Yaoyao; with that pair of eyes that had always carried in admiration and longing, were filled with undisguised disgust, no, not just disgust but also hatred.

to see, hear and obey (idiom): have always listened to sb.’s words and accepted his advice

Chen Hao was without the slightest doubt that she wanted to come over him and strangle his neck!

“Yaoyao…”

Before he even said anything, Lou Yaoyao had grabbed the pillow on the bed and pounded the two with it: “Get out, please get out, I don’t want to see you two, this pair of cheating couple!”

Whether Cinderella or the Prince, they were none of her goddamn business, whether they want to play with love or with mud, sorry, but I won’t keep you company, you have fun on your own!

play with love or with mud: the former implied that they were just playing at being with love, while the latter mocked them for being childish.

Fang Xilei came in and directly saw such a scene; at the ward’s door, Chen Hao was shielding Lou Qingqing, the two sorry figures were dodging, while Lou Yaoyao were holding a pillow and viciously pounding their head and face!

Fang Xilei raised her eyebrows, without a word, completely didn’t have any intention to intervene, until Lou Qingqing finally saw her and screamed: “Aunt Fang!”

Lou Yaoyao turned her head to saw her own Mama stood on the side, she also didn’t know how much her Mama had seen, she suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed, a moment ago, she had been readily pounding like a shrew, (I’m) done for…

Chen Hao’s clothes was completely messy, although he was quite in sorry state, yet he was unusually calm and greeted: “Aunt Fang.”

Lou Qingqing, who stood by his side, pulled the corner of her clothes, with the appearance of a bullied young married woman, who felt anger from being wronged yet didn’t dare to speak.

In contrast, it made the fierce Lou Yaoyao who was holding the pillow to look unreasonable!

Fang Xilei unperturbedly asked: “What is going on here?”

“Aunt Fang, we came to visit Yaoyao, but Yaoyao, she…” Lou Qingqing didn’t continue to speak, but also didn’t need to.

“Well, both of you go back first, I will speak to Yaoyao.” Fang Xilei didn’t change her expression.

Chen Hao looked at Lou Yaoyao’s face then tactfully left, he was very puzzled; after hadn’t met for a day, how could Lou Yaoyao change into that way?

Lou Qingqing was also equally puzzled, yet also had no choice but to leave. She was always obedient in front of Fang Xilei, and also she didn’t want to destroy this impression.

Seeing them had left, Lou Yaoyao obediently called: “Mama.”

“Yes.” Replied Fang Xilei, she was dragged into the the ward by Lou Yaoyao, while she was still thinking of how to explain the reason of Lou Yuanzhi’s absence, that wouldn’t let her be very sad. Looking at her Mother frowed her eyebrows and not speaking, Lou Yaoyao nervously said: “Mama, are you angry?”

Fang Xilei was taken aback: “What am I angry for?”

Lou Yaoyao wanted to say something but then hesitated.

“Fool, I am your Mama, I would never help an outsider to bully my own daughter.” Fang Xilei had understood at the first thought, her heart somewhat ached, her daughter was said to be vicious and fierce by the outsiders, yet in front of her and Lou Yuanzhi, the outsiders were very careful and cautious, afraid to provoke their hatred, especially toward Lou Yuanzhi.

As for the matter of hitting people? If she wanted to hit then let her hit, they weren’t good persons anyway!

Listening to her Mama to speak like this, Lou Yaoyao once again broke in tears, couldn’t help but to throw herself at Fang Xilei’s embrace. She was very fortunate, both having this kind of Mama who doted her, and having that kind of Qin Zhi who indulged her.

Fang Xilei was taken a back all of the sudden, sensing her daughter’s grievance, although she didn’t know the reason, but very quickly tightly embraced Lou Yaoyao, patting Lou Yaoyao’s back to appeased. She was usually very very busy at work, rarely at home, had felt somewhat estranged from her daughter, her daughter was also closer to her Papa, therefore she still had not much experience at understanding Lou Yaoyao.

Smelling the faint body fragrance of her mother, Lou Yaoyao inhaled through her nose: “Mama.”

“Yes.”

“Mama.”

“Yes.”

“Mama, I will not not listen to you anymore.”

Whether it was having had a big quarrel with her mama due to the problem at Chen Hao’s company, or her engagement with Chen Hao despite her mama’s objection, she couldn’t change what had happened, but the one that still hadn’t happened, would never happen again!

Fang Xilei felt her eyes were also a little moist, she lightly pat her daughter’s back, did not speak, whether it was true or false, it’s already good that she could speak that way.
