Chapter 374: Heartbreak

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liang Zhou did not sleep the whole night, and Mu Qing did not return either.
She curled up on the couch, replaying each word Mu Chen had said.
That night, it felt as though her heart had been diced into bloody pieces.
As the night passed, the excruciating pain she felt slowly numbed her.

It was early in the morning when streams of sunlight shone into the living room and the couch.
Despite the sunlight, Liang Zhou felt cold.

At this time, the helper, Xiao Yu, walked into the living room.
She was taken back when she saw Liang Zhou.
She instinctively asked, “Madam, why are you sitting here so early in the morning?”

Liang Zhou looked at Xiao Yu in a daze.
Her eyes were empty and lifeless.

Xiao Yu walked over and asked tentatively, “Madam, do you feel unwell?”

Liang Zhou could not control the tears that brimmed in her eyes at this moment.
She did not expect the only person to show concern toward her was Xiao Yu, the helper.
After a moment, she tried to rise to her feet to move her stiff body.
However, after sitting the entire night, her legs had grown numb, causing her to fall to the ground with a soft thud.

Xiao Yu was frightened out of her wits upon seeing this.
“Madam? Madam? Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself? Tell me where it hurts.”

Xiao Yu hurriedly reached out to help Liang Zhou up.

Liang Zhou held onto Xiao Yu, borrowing Xiao Yu’s strength to rise to her feet.
She smiled bitterly as she said, “My feet are numb.”

Xiao Yu helped Liang Zhou back to the couch before she kneeled by the couch and propped one of Liang Zhou’s legs up to massage it for her.
“Madam, just bear with the pain for a moment.”

The dull pain caused Liang Zhou to cry.
She felt complicated as she looked at the young helper massaging her leg.
The person whom she treated sincerely her entire life abandoned her like a pair of worn-out shoes while the helper whom she normally did not pay attention to was massaging her leg for her.
She had been wrong her entire life; her feelings were misplaced for so long.

Upon seeing the expression on Liang Zhou’s face, Xiao Yu thought Liang Zhou could not bear the pain.
Hence, she tried to quicken her pace as she said, “Madam, bear with for a moment.
I’m almost done.”

Liang Zhou could not help but reach out and pat Xiao Yu’s head.
She smiled with tears in her eyes as she said, “Thank you.”

Following that, Xiao Yu helped Liang Zhou to her feet.
Every step she took sent chills to her heart.
How could the pain from the fall compare to the pain in her heart?

After a moment, Liang Zhou patted Xiao Yu’s hand and said, “I feel much better now.
Thank you.”

Xiao Yu said with a smile, “That’s good.
Madam, you have to walk slowly for now.
It’ll be fine after a while.”

Liang Zhou let go of Xiao Yu’s hand and wiped her face.
Then, she smiled and said, “You don’t have to help me; I’m fine.
You can return to your tasks.”

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled before she left.

Liang Zhou’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Xiao Yu’s back.
How great was it to be young? When she was Xiao Yu’s age, her mind was only filled with love.
She wanted nothing more than to find a man who loved her and whom she loved to spend her life with.
Hence, when she met Mu Qing, she did not hesitate to pursue him even if she knew he was her sister’s husband.
After all, in her mind, nothing was more important than love.
Love was sacred and inviolable.
To her, everything else ranked behind love.
So what if the other woman was her sister? She would spend her entire life with her lover, not her sister.

All these years, she never thought she would be betrayed.
The thought had never crossed her mind at all.
She knew how difficult it was for Mu Qing to be with her.
He had lost so much just to stay with her.
In her mind, he was the perfect example of someone who chose love over wealth and power.
This was the thing she felt the proudest about.
It was the glory of her life.
Hence, whenever she had minor conflicts with Mu Qing, despite feeling sad, she would cheer up again when she recalled the things he had given up for her.

However, she knew now that she had overestimated herself.
