Chapter 1013 - This Is Not Jealousy but Darkness
Wen Jie frowned blankly.
“I got everything when I was younger. I had the things you had, and the things you didn’t,” said Wen Lan, her face twisting in bitterness.
“But no matter how much I had, no matter how much love Father gave me, I was just an illegitimate child that the outside world could never know about,” Wen Lan snarled and tightened her grip on Wen Jie, making her groan in pain.
Gu Tianmu took a step forward unconsciously.
“Stop right there or I will shoot!” Wen Lan’s hand trembled when she saw Gu Tianmu moving forward but she managed to stay calm.
“Do you think you can get away with this, Wen Lan?” Gu Tianmu who had been trying to reach for Wen Jie slowly put his hand down.
“Then I shall perish with her,” sneered Wen Lan, ignoring that fact that Wen Chenghao was running out of time.
Wen Jie listened to her familiar voice and began to feel sorry for her.
“I wouldn’t be an illegitimate child if it weren’t for your mother. You mother caused all this, Wen Jie, and I hate you as much as I hate your mother,” Wen Lan shouted hysterically.
Wen Lan was walking backwards slowly to the deck.
Ye Yuwei stood beside Gu Juexi and felt his tension.
Wen Lan was going to shoot her for sure the moment she reached the deck.
“Wen Lan, you got so much more than Mom but you were never satisfied. You weren’t jealous, but your inner darkness wouldn’t let you be happy. What my mother had could have been yours too, but you just couldn’t bear seeing my mother have it. You tried everything and did what you could to take away everything she had. This is not jealousy but darkness, and a person like you does not deserve to be loved,” Ye Yuwei said as she walked closer to Wen Lan.
She looked directly into Wen Lan’s eyes and continued, “you don’t really hate that Mom has so many things. What you really hate is that no matter what you tried to take away, you couldn’t take away her kindness, because that is something you could never have.”
Wen Lan’s pupils dilated as she listened to Ye Yuwei.
“You used my aunt, because you knew that my mother would protect her. But the more my mother protected her, the more jealous you got and the more you wanted to destroy this trait of hers. So you repeatedly harmed her just to see her ending up as evil as you, but it never happened and it never will happen.”
Ye Yuwei was one step away from Wen Lan by now. Without the instruction from Wen Chenghao, none of his men shot at Ye Yuwei.
“You aunt was the one who harmed her! It was your aunt. Everyone from the Ye Family is the same, including you!” Wen Lan’s voice had become an unpleasant shriek.
Ye Yuwei stood one step away from Wen Lan while holding up three fingers behind her back, signaling a count down for Gu Juexi.
“An evil person will only see an evil world, so I forgive your ignorance,” said Ye Yuwei with two fingers held up, “but ignorance shouldn’t be a reason why you act like this, nor should it define you.” Ye Yuwei said slowly, and the hand at her back curled into a fist.
