Chapter 1954 - 128: The Three Steps of Life
Li Luo paused slightly, and she too frowned with melancholy.
Dong Huiying glanced at her and followed her words, saying, "But surely you have reasons you cannot leave."
Li Luo turned her head, gazing in the direction where the Yan family was located.
"Miss Dong, I won’t hide from you, I feel like I’m still in a dream till now."
She slowly slumped her shoulders, "It really feels unreal."
How ridiculous is this?
In the past, she lived in the Yan family for many years, but at that time her identity was that of a servant, a slave of Yan Xiyu, at the mercy of the master.
The things that happened before are still deeply engraved in her heart, she hates Yan Xiyu.
Before knowing their identities were swapped, she never hated or resented, because if it weren’t for the so-called Yan family daughter’s identity, and the indulgence and negligence of the Yan family, Yan Xiyu probably wouldn’t have done those things.
For Yan Xiyu, the Yan family’s existence was an invisible backing, and Li Luo viewed it the same way.
But now she discovers that the real Yan family bloodline turned out to be herself, not Yan Xiyu?
"I can’t adjust my mindset, I’m not angry at them, but this feeling is really hard to describe."
Li Luo bowed her head, gently saying, "There are still good people in the Yan family."
Dong Huiying thought for a moment, "That is certain. No matter where, there will be good people and bad people. And your current feelings, though I can’t fully understand, I can somewhat imagine."
"In the past, the Yan family was Yan Xiyu’s reliance, and your yielding to Yan Xiyu was somewhat influenced by the Yan family, viewing them as a potential threat. Moreover, the most critical issue in your heart is, if the Yan family hadn’t brought Yan Xiyu back to Dongcui City, hadn’t given Yan Xiyu this layer of wealth, then the things that happened to you and your family wouldn’t have occurred."
Li Luo was speechless.
These words truly hit the nail on the head, until Dong Huiying clearly pointed them out, she found it difficult to articulate, only knowing her thoughts and feelings were too complex, and only at this moment, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the moon, did she understand the root of her complicated feelings.
Dong Huiying patted Li Luo’s shoulder, "Actually, along the lines of your reasoning, I think the one you should blame most, is not the Yan family, but yourself."
"Myself?"
Li Luo was stunned.
Dong Huiying raised an eyebrow.
"Isn’t it?"
"Yan Xiyu is certainly hateful, but who allowed her to be hateful? I think the reason you ended up in that situation is because you’ve never made any effort to resist for yourself."
Li Luo instinctively wanted to resist, but Dong Huiying spoke first.
"Don’t rush to explain, let me ask you a question first. What do you think are the three major steps in life?"
Li Luo pressed her lips together, thought for a long time, then answered seriously.
"Birth, marriage, death."
Dong Huiying chuckled.
"What you said is the life course of the common people, generally those three. But that’s not what I meant."
Dong Huiying clasped her hands behind her back, looking into the distance.
At this moment, the young girl in purple suddenly gave off an extremely far and ethereal feeling.
"Life..."
She laughed softly, in that smile, it seemed she had tasted all the bittersweet and hardships of the world, having endured countless trials and tribulations.
