Chapter 97 -97; How could they be like this?
“I had explained everything but he still blames me, I told him the situation we were in, but he never listened and believed me, everyone felt like it was my fault, nothing I explained could exonerate me from that debt, so I just decided to go quiet and all this time I have been staying in the school vicinity and whenever it’s time for the holidays I go over to my mother’s maternal family as the only grandma who lives there…
I just no longer feel like I’m amongst that family, and I already came to terms with it!
And I treat them the same way, I don’t care, and neither do I know what they are up to.” She had long disconnected herself and greatly detached herself emotionally from that family.
She could no longer feel that hate she had felt previously nor sadness if they didn’t include her in anything as a family since they had decided to outcast her; she was okay and glad she didn’t have to argue or fight with anyone.
It’s like her heart had become numb and gotten used to being all alone.
The only thing she did receive was a monthly allowance from her adopted father and her mother that has always been channeled to her bank account of which they have never inquired if she received the money or not, and for the school fees, it was dutifully paid and sometimes she got scholarships and life went on as usual with nothing much happening around her.
Her heart had long ago turned cold, and she believed she was all alone.
“Try calling him and see if he would respond!
You never know.
Maybe he has been wanting to connect with you and he just doesn’t know where to begin!
Maybe you can try to make the first step.” Zhou Yuxi thought they could probably be having some misunderstandings that could easily be solved, and as much as the stepbrother wanted to blame Li Meili, she could also be a victim of the circumstance.
Why let a small misunderstanding cause a huge disharmony amongst themselves?
She was a young girl who needed family love and support, how could she be running out here all alone and lonely?
After going through such a tragic moment, Li Meili also needed therapy but it seemed like they had abandoned her and secretly blamed her for the death of her stepbrother and never did anything to solve all these heartaches.
She was a young girl at that age without prior mental knowledge to handle the situation and Zhou Yuxi could feel how burdened she was with such kind of emotions and trauma she had gone through.
They never thought of her as a victim who had gone through some traumatic experience…
They had grieved but never bothered to check up on the person who had survived.
“I…..
I….” She hadn’t called him for the past five years, she didn’t even know how to approach him as they were no longer that close to each other.
She no longer had any self-esteem when it came to him and all the family members.

Everything had fallen apart.
“I will do the calling, what’s his name?” Zhou Yuxi halted as she stretched her hand out to receive the mobile phone from her since she didn’t have any of her own.
“Li Si Yehan, here…” She nervously gave her the mobile phone while wiping her tears away and deep down she had this anticipation and wish that her stepbrother could talk to her for just once and tell her he didn’t blame her at all, ‘that it wasn’t her fault that his brother had died!’.
She didn’t have many requests; she just hoped he would listen to her and understand her and not victimize her, as it was never her fault, to begin with.
She roughly rubbed her palms together nervously.
After five years of not hearing from him, she was hoping, hoping that the call would go through.
They walked over to the small street as they were using a shortcut before getting over to the other side and getting onto the sub-highway.
They could have taken a taxi, but they wanted to kill time by walking around.
Third Master Mu had driven over to the round-about and he was now trailing behind her but when she used the shortcut, he used the highway and they would meet ahead after a few minutes of walk.
Zhou Yuxi received the mobile phone and dialed the name that was saved there, but before she could, a call came through the mobile phone; it was a new number that was neither saved nor familiar.
“Someone’s calling you.” Zhou Yuxi turned the phone display over to her face and showed her the mobile phone display screen and there, Li Meili could see it was a new number that she hadn’t saved.
“You can hang up, I don’t know that number.
It’s a new number and I haven’t ever dialed that number at all.” She frowned as she hadn’t seen this number and neither had she called such a number through her mobile phone.
She doesn’t share her mobile phone, so she can’t say it was someone else who used her mobile phone number to make calls that were unrelated to her.
Zhou Yuxi thought it could be some emergency and decided to receive it, after all, it doesn’t cost that much to receive a phone call since it was the other person getting billed for that phone call.
Zhou Yuxi didn’t speak up after receiving that phone call as they both didn’t know who could be calling.
They wanted to hear the other person’s voice before they could respond.
“Meili…” A soft feminine voice echoed from the other end of the phone call as Zhou Yuxi turned the loudspeaker settings on.
Li Meili, who also heard that voice, slightly tensed and looked surprised, but she pursed her lips, gazing away as she calmed herself down, acting like she didn’t hear anything.
Her emotions were just a fleet, and she wasn’t that swayed by hearing that voice.
“Who is this calling?
And why are you calling this number?
Do you know the owner of this mobile phone number?” Zhou Yuxi lowered her voice and sounded slightly like a male, with a rough, deep tone.
She didn’t like exposing her feminine side to people she didn’t know.
And she preferred her feminine voice kept for specific moments.
“Where is Meili?
What happened to her?
And who are you?
Why do you have her mobile phone?
Give her that mobile phone, I want to talk up her now.” That woman from the other end panicked hearing it wasn’t Meili receiving the phone call but rather a different person of a male voice, a voice she hadn’t heard of.
This male voice was new in her ears.
“The owner of the phone is dead and buried, what’s it?
If you don’t have anything important to say, just don’t call.
What a waste of time you bummer.” Zhou Yuxi immediately hangs up the phone call.
How could Li Meili not know her mother’s mobile phone number?
Unless they rarely talked or conversed, or she just avoided her completely, Li Meili didn’t even realize that they had changed their mobile phone numbers.
It could be said that they were contacting her after quite some time and even changed their contact numbers; what did this mean?
It meant if Li Meili had gotten any emergency, she wouldn’t have been able to contact them for anything, even for help.
What could have happened in her previous life?
How could Li Meili commit suicide?
From the few minutes she had accompanied her, she hadn’t noticed anything terrible character-wise when it came to Li Meili.
She was kind and soft-spoken; she was a simple girl who seemed to enjoy and live a simple life.
If she didn’t know this number and she didn’t have this number, how helpless had she felt when had called for help in her previous life?
How desperate could she have been to get in touch with them?
How lonely had she felt and decided to commit suicide?
How could they be like this?
What did she do to deserve all this?
Wasn’t she a human being born out of a woman?
With the drugged water bottle, Zhou Yuxi had already…
