Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 551 - 544: Concentrated Outburst (Part 3)

Due to Cheng Shishi’s death, Cheng Gang and Xia Lian have suffered immense harm. Already having had cracks in their relationship, the couple now has even less communication without Cheng Shishi as a lubricant.

Xia Lian is washed with tears every day, and Cheng Gang, seeing this, feels a headache and can only throw himself into work entirely to forget the pain.

Unlike Cheng Gang, Xia Lian doesn’t have a job. Having been a housewife for over twenty years, she devoted her entire life to this home; her husband and child were her whole life.

Now, her child is gone, and her husband has abandoned her.

Her family members are even more unwilling to associate with her, having clearly seen the scene she caused with Bai Yiran at the spirit hall. They are afraid her actions may offend Leng Yichen, implicating them. Besides, Xia Lian’s mental state has indeed been poor recently. Thus, her family simply doesn’t interact with her anymore.

Xia Lian has nowhere to pour out her pain, and she quickly becomes emaciated, with a mind increasingly stubborn and increasingly overthinking.

"Shishi..." Xia Lian cries holding a photo of Cheng Shishi, her daughter being the closest to her heart, and now her warmth is gone, leaving behind only piercing cold.

Because Cheng Gang doesn’t want to be reminded of past scenes, and fearing grandma might come home suddenly and discover a hint of it, they can’t even display Cheng Shishi’s portrait at home. Xia Lian can only hold Cheng Shishi’s old photo and shed tears alone.

At this moment, her heart is filled with hatred.

She resents her family! Resents grandma!

Yet, ultimately, she resents Bai Yiran the most! Not for any other reason, but because Cheng Shishi died, while Bai Yiran is living well, surrounded by children, loved by her husband, and living a happy life...

Bai Yiran already has everything, but her Shishi must endure endless sufferings below...

Xia Lian’s tears grow fiercer, ultimately turning into loud sobs.

If Cheng Gang were home now, he would surely tell her off again. So she doesn’t dare cry in front of Cheng Gang. With Shishi gone, Cheng Gang is now her everything.

Nowadays, Cheng Gang has started to loathe her. She lives cautiously in front of Cheng Gang every day, even though she feels like dying inside, she cannot shed a single tear in front of Cheng Gang.

This kind of life makes Xia Lian feel unbearable but she cannot change it.

All of this, just because they lost Cheng Shishi...

Ding dong! Ding dong!

Suddenly the doorbell rings, Xia Lian tearfully looks at the door but has no intention to open it.

She has long stopped socializing with others, who could it be at this time?

Seeing no one opens the door, the doorbell continues to ring.

Xia Lian begins to feel some impatience; regardless of who is outside, she doesn’t want to have contact with anyone right now, she doesn’t want to see others’ sympathetic and pitiful gazes, doesn’t want others to come with curiosity to peek at her. She no longer has the energy to deal with anyone; she just wants to quietly guard Cheng Shishi’s photo, allowing herself to sink.

"Xia Lian, are you home? Open the door for me!"

A voice from grandma rings outside the door, Xia Lian’s body suddenly trembles, looking towards the door somewhat panicked.

Why is grandma coming at this time?

"Open the door! What’s going on in broad daylight!"

Outside, grandma’s voice is obviously starting to show impatience.

Just as grandma began to lose patience and was ready to leave, the door was opened from the inside. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Why are you opening the door now, what are you doing?" Grandma walks in while raising her head to look at Xia Lian, only to be startled by Xia Lian’s appearance, "My goodness! What kind of ghostly look is this!"

At this moment, Xia Lian’s hair is unkempt, her face colorless and sunken, her eyes abrupt and listless.

Quite ghostly indeed...

Grandma has already walked inside, while Xia Lian still has one hand on the doorknob, her eyes filled with venom looking at grandma’s back, slowly closing the door.
