Chapter 195: Not a friend—not a friend

"No! Chu Nan, I beg you not to say that, okay?" Murphy squatted down and grabbed my wrist, with tears in his eyes, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't deceive you, but Chu Nan, I really regard you as my friend, my only friend, can you believe me?"

"Have you ever believed me?" I coldly pushed away Murphy's hand, "Since you think I'm a friend, why do you lie to me?"

"I didn't lie to you!" Murphy cried, "No, I've never lie to you!"

Murphy was not stupid, but she pretended to be stupid to me! I laughed, and it was even worse than crying, "No? No one, aren't you still lying to me now?"

I stood up angrily and walked towards Murphy's desk. Murphy was stunned, and hurriedly got up and chased after him, screaming: "No!"

Murphy pounced on the table, but unfortunately he was still a step slower. I picked up the small photo frame placed on the table, shook the only photo she took with her father, and asked sternly: "Why are you nervous? Why don't you want me to see this photo?"

Murphy sat on the ground weakly, crying in a daze, "No, it's not what you thought, Chu Nan, it's really not like that..."

Why do you still have to be stubborn? You are already desperate, you know it is irreversible, why do you force me to reveal your scars? I can't forgive Murphy who denies my existence, but I sympathize with her like a slut. So, I don't want to destroy her dignity, but Murphy's ungratefulness made my heart betray my brain honestly. I lost my mind and laughed wildly, "No? Not what? Murphy, do you want to say that you didn't treat me as your father's substitute?"

Murphy suddenly hugged my thighs, raised her pretty face with pear blossoms, and cried, "No, I really don't!" However, how could she hide the shame on her face?

"If you just deceive me, I can forgive you because we are friends! But when I know that in your eyes, I am just a substitute, a substitute, can you imagine my mood at that time? I feel like a doll you fabricated, a character you can fiddle with! In order to satisfy your illusory imagination and to satisfy your escape from reality, you erased the existence of Chu Nan! In your eyes, there is only the shadow of your father, and in your heart, how could you have ever existed? Since that is the case, how could you treat me as a friend?"

I broke away from Murphy's hug and shook my head weakly, "Enough, it's really enough. It doesn't matter if you lie to me and play tricks on me. I will not continue to play this boring house game with you. You should accept reality and live bravely, and I will face reality honestly. Murphy, we have never been friends, nor will we become friends."

"No! I don't want it!" Murphy begged like crazy: "Chu Nan, we are friends! I know I shouldn't lie to you, but I really haven't denied your existence. I beg you, you can beat me or scold me, but wouldn't you say such ruthless words to me?"

"Why do you say that friendship has never existed?" I smiled bitterly and looked at the sad and beautiful face covered with water marks that Murphy raised. I could no longer suppress the sadness in my heart. I said powerlessly and resolutely: "Murphy, who is the ruthless and who is the hurt? Don't act coquettish anymore, because I'm never as tolerant as you imagined. Don't let your tears drop on my wounds, okay?"

Murphy was stunned and tried to grab my hand and froze again.

"Murphy, who I once knew, was a strong woman. Even if there was a mother who loved to cause trouble but didn't know how to love her, even if she was alone in the face of open and secret struggles in the company and intrigues in the shopping mall, she could raise her head and live a life of tenaciously like a noble swan. I hope that these things I saw with my own eyes were not her deceiving me," I said goodbye to this once beautiful secret love, without any nostalgia. "You haven't lost anything, because I have never been your friend, so you have no reason to shed tears...got goodbye."

When I pulled Xiao Yike out of the study room, Wu Xueqing, who was pasting outside the door, almost fell in. She should have heard our conversation clearly, so she didn't know what to say to me, "Chu Nan..."

"If she had not lacked the care of her relatives and the warmth of her family, today's events would not have happened," said Wu Xueqing, who was ashamed of her coldly, "I am just a substitute, but you are not, please do your own thing in the future. If you don't want to see what happened today happen again, take on the responsibility of being a mother."

"I..." Wu Xueqing looked at her daughter with distress and murmured with regret: "I thought you looked a little like a little, it was just a coincidence, and your age..."

Wu Xueqing refers to my father and Murphy. It is not difficult to hear from her words that my similarity with her ex-husband seems to be a little bit. Perhaps because of the comparison between the photos and the real person, this similarity has been amplified? In addition, I am two years younger than Murphy, so Wu Xueqing, who should be the most familiar with Murphy's father, did not notice the abnormality of her daughter in advance, or even if she noticed it, she would not think about this aspect. After all, if Murphy regards me as a substitute for her father, wouldn't she regard me and Wu Xueqing as a couple? If I were Wu Xueqing, I would definitely try my best to avoid such ridiculous suspicion. And my anger is not the case with this on the big side?

Human psychology is really subtle...

"Goodbye."

I have said what I should say. Even if there are thousands of threads, they were cut off cleanly. From then on, they were like strangers and no longer had any bonds. Wu Xueqing also understood this, so she did not continue to beg for anything. She just ran into the house quickly and tried to help Murphy sitting on the floor crying.

When I went downstairs, I suddenly heard Murphy's words coming from the study.

"No, not what you think, not what you really think..."

When I got home, I opened the door. When I heard the movement, Chu Yuan rushed over with murderous intent, holding up the kitchen knife, "Where have you died? I don't turn on my phone. When is it time to come back?"

Good guy, the bright kitchen knife swayed in front of my eyes, very cautious. I could feel the coldness on the blade after I passed by my face several times. I was so scared that I had a step back before I changed into slippers. "Yuanyuan, I have something to say. I'll just come back later, don't use the kitchen knife, right?"

"Cookie Knife?" Chu Yuan seemed to notice the dangerous goods in her hand. Her little face turned red and she smiled embarrassedly: "I am cooking, but when I heard the door ring, I came out quickly... Huh? Sister Bobo? Why are you with my brother?"

"Hi~ Yuanyuan, long time no see," Xiao Yike came out from behind me. He wanted to give Chu Yuan a hug, but when he saw the guy in her hand, he would forget it, "I have no one at home tonight. I just came out and wanted to buy something to eat. I happened to meet the uncle and came back with him. Hehe, Yuanyuan, I'll come over and have a free meal, don't you mind?"

This is the result of my ‘deal’ with the little goblin. She kept the secret of today for me and I promised her to stay at my house tonight...

Murphy deceived me to satisfy her selfish desires, which made me disgusted with her dishonesty. However, Xiao Yike, who was extremely honest in order to satisfy her selfish desires, made me feel even more difficult to deal with. Maybe this girl is much more terrifying than Murphy...

Chu Yuan hurriedly hid the impolite kitchen knife behind him and said happily: "How could I mind? It's too late to welcome me, Sister Bobo, come in quickly."

I always felt strange. Chu Yuan seemed to admire Xiao Yike very much, but I didn’t know what Xiao Yike was worthy of admiration?

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you running out in such a hurry? Is there anything wrong?"

Chu Yuan took the initiative to take the briefcase from my hand, flattened his mouth, and said angrily: "I'm fine, it's Cheng Liusu who has something to do. If you can't get through your phone, I'll call me."
