Chapter 606: Love that Ends in Failure
For the entire morning, Zhou Mingchen's mind was disturbed by Lin Dong's words.
When Zhou Minglan lost her temper and threw everything out, a piece of porcelain that flew up cut Zhou Mingchen's hand.
"Get out of here, everyone!"
She cried and yelled, covering the gunshot wound on her chest.
It was said to be better, but it was still pulling on her chest. Even after the flesh had healed, there was still a painful and burning sensation from the tearing.
Zhou Minglan gasped, "Get out of here!"
Zhou Mingchen stood at the door of the ward and found that Owen had gone out at some point.
He looked at the wound on his hand, bandaged it with gauze, and sat next to Zhou Minglan.
A group of people cleaned up the mess on the ground. He sat quietly beside Zhou Minglan and said, "Owen will be back soon."
"Why don't you let me die?"
Zhou Minglan trembled, "Why did you save me?"
After Zhou Minglan woke up completely, she immediately paid attention to the final result of the Milan competition.
When he found out that the first place was Xu Yi, he was so angry that he fainted again.
She heard Owen say that Zhou Mingchen already knew that Xu Yi was Zhou Mingchen, and she fainted again after waking up.
But fortunately, Zhou Mingchen did not take the initiative to ask her about this matter, so Zhou Minglan had to pretend to be deaf and dumb...
She is a patient now. Her brother will not be so cruel to her. He will not ask her these questions when she is sick.
But what Zhou Minglan couldn't understand the most was that the talented girl Miss Heijin actually lost to Xu Yi. It sounded like a myth.
She can accept anyone winning the championship, but she can't accept Xu Yi winning the championship.
She hopes Xu Yi will always be beneath her.
She hoped that her deceased parents would one day see that their little daughter, of whom they were most proud, was actually inferior to her in ability and in every aspect.
Zhou Mingchen bandaged the wound and said calmly, "You should take good care of yourself. Only when you are healthy can you do what you want to do. You will have the opportunity to participate in future competitions. There is no need to rush."
"Why hasn't Han Fei died yet? Why don't you kill him?"
"People in Xiao Yuanzhong are not so easy to move."
"To put it bluntly, I am your Zhou Mingchen's sister. He has the opportunity to touch me, so why don't you have the opportunity to touch him?"
"You did it yourself."
Zhou Mingchen was merciless. "Minglan, just because you're injured doesn't mean you can erase all your faults. I haven't even bothered with you about what you and Owen hid from me. Why do you have to find fault with me first when something happens?"
His tone was calm, but it confused Zhou Minglan.
After a while of silence, neither of them spoke. Zhou Mingchen took the initiative to speak, "Why don't you say anything?"
Zhou Minglan took a deep breath and then smiled, "You can't wait, right?"
Zhou Minglan looked at him, "Are you happy or sad? You liked Xu Yi, but she became your sister... Are you happy about finding your sister or about your love that ended in vain?"
Zhou Mingchen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Minglan, you are sick, I don't want to lose my temper with you, don't say such impudent words again."
"Why can't you tell me? Did I hit the nail on the head? Do you feel embarrassed, or..."
"Minglan!"
Zhou Mingchen's tone became more serious, and Zhou Minglan said coldly, "It seems that I was right."
She lowered her eyes and said, "You are so angry now, are you wondering why Han Fei didn't beat me to death?"
Zhou Mingchen said nothing, "You should take good care of your injuries and wait until you calm down."
"elder brother!"
As soon as Zhou Mingchen stood up, he was stopped by Zhou Minglan. She said excitedly, "Are you very happy now? I want to hear the truth. Are you very happy?"
Zhou Minglan's tears welled up in her eyes. "I have never been your pride. From childhood to adulthood, she is the only one who is your pride. I am not your pride. I am just a person who makes up the numbers!"
Zhou Minglan trembled, "Mom and Dad gave birth to you and Mingxin. You are both so outstanding, but I am the only one with average talent and not likable. All the good things are in you and Mingxin, not in me. I just hate her!"
Zhou Minglan's voice was choked with sobs. "I tell you, if she is in this family, I am gone. I just know she is. I found the ring in her bag a long time ago, but I don't accept it. I would rather she died. I don't have a sister. I am the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. Zhou Mingxin died with her parents a long time ago. Dead!"
"I burned the things in the study, and I burned the group photo. I did it all. I asked Owen to help me conceal it, and I also wanted to silence him. I did it all. I had only one goal, and that was to stop all this from happening."
As Zhou Minglan spoke, she pulled the needle out of her wrist and pointed it at herself. Zhou Mingchen was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
"Minglan, what are you doing?"
"Promise me, promise me that I will be your only sister from now on, otherwise I will..."
"Minglan, don't be willful."
"Why can't I be willful? Why must I recognize her? She has everything. It doesn't matter whether she has the Zhou family or not. But brother, you must never share your feelings for me. I don't want anyone to share them with me!"
"You are crazy!"
Zhou Minglan stepped forward and stabbed the needle directly into her neck. "Life is meaningless anyway. Being ignored and neglected by others is worse than death. I am in this state now. I even hate myself."
Zhou Mingchen was furious, "Do you know that I did this for you..."
"I don't care. You have to promise me that Xu Yi is Xu Yi and Ming Xin is dead... I am the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. I am the one who is in charge. No one can take my place."
Zhou Minglan shed tears as she spoke, "You're going to tell me or not, if you don't tell me then I will..."
Zhou Minglan's eyes were blurred with tears. The needle in her hand was snatched away by Zhou Mingchen and thrown on the ground. Liquid was still oozing out.
"Minglan, I have been very tolerant of you. For more than half a month, I was afraid of upsetting you and didn't even take the initiative to contact Mingxin. I thought you owed her something."
Zhou Minglan suddenly laughed, "Owe? What do you owe me, brother? She owes me. Ever since she was born, every day has been my nightmare. She only knows how to act like a spoiled child and put on that pretentious look to please all of you!"
Zhou Minglan started crying while laughing, "I still feel indebted to her, how ridiculous! She should be the one who feels indebted to me. She should have found a place to die to express her gratitude to me, instead of suddenly appearing and messing up our sibling relationship like this!"
Zhou Minglan was out of breath, and Zhou Mingchen said coldly, "You'd better take care of yourself..."
"If she was the one injured today, you would not be so calm. You would fight to the death. Even if the bullet hit Xiao Yuanzhong's head, you would kill Han Fei!"
