After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

He wouldn't be content to become a bird caged.

If he really did that, he would only drift further away from her...

Yao Mingyue held the cup steeped with cold remedy, she took another sip, but this one tasted exceptionally bitter.

Unconsciously, two lines of clear tears traced down her cheeks into the cup.

"Ming Yue…"

Liu Rushuang looked at the tear streaks on her daughter's face, her own heart felt as if pricked by needles.

"Mom… he doesn't want me anymore… he doesn't want me anymore…"

Yao Mingyue ultimately couldn't control the emotions in her heart, that immense sense of powerlessness, as if an invisible hand was ruthlessly squeezing her heart.

Her whole body trembled, tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes as she leaned into her mother's embrace,

just like a kitten abandoned by its owner.

Many thoughts flashed through Liu Rushuang's mind as she looked at her daughter in this state, yet she couldn't utter a single word.

She could only hold her daughter tightly in her arms.

After a long while, Yao Mingyue's emotions calmed down a bit.

"Ming Yue, can you tell mom what exactly happened between you two?"

Liu Rushuang stroked her daughter's head, asking in a low voice.

It took Yao Mingyue quite some time to regain her composure, her eyes were red and swollen, and there was an emptiness in them: "He... he's with someone else now..."

He's with someone else.

It took Liu Rushuang a while to process this.

It took her a moment to accept this answer.

Xu Musen, he's in a relationship with another girl?

But how could this be... Weren't he and Ming Yue getting along better and better lately?

They were childhood sweethearts, after all, raised together by both families, almost inseparable every day, and they both had always liked each other...

How could he suddenly be with another girl?

"Mom, am I really so undesirable..."

The voice of Yao Mingyue shook, her phoenix eyes, always carrying a noble air, now bore tired red veins and no longer held their usual aloofness. Right now, she was just a girl abandoned.

Liu Rushuang took a deep breath, her heart aching as she touched her daughter's head and gently said, "How could that be, my Xiaoyue is so beautiful and outstanding, who wouldn't like her."

"Then why doesn't he want me anymore, why… won't he even give me a chance to keep waiting…"

As Yao Mingyue spoke, another tear shimmered at the corner of her eye, her tone filled with heartrending grievance that made it difficult to breathe.

"That's because Xiaosen doesn't appreciate you, it has nothing to do with you, Ming Yue. Haven't you been doing well these past days?"

Liu Rushuang's eyes turned red with heartache as she looked at her daughter with bloodshot eyes and a slight fever.

Even she had noticed her daughter had changed a lot during this period, especially after finding out Xu Musen had started his business venture; she had even tried to help him save costs, going several nights without proper sleep.

All these efforts were for Xu Musen.

Indeed, perhaps Yao Mingyue had been a bit too haughty in her attitude towards Xu Musen in the past, but after all, they had nearly twenty years of history as childhood sweethearts.

Their bond and the many moments they shared, how could they be so easily taken by someone else?

Yet, emotions seemed to be so unreasonable.

Just like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Ma Wencai couldn't understand why his betrothed and childhood sweetheart, Zhu Yingtai, after only a few months at the academy, would become hopelessly devoted to Liang Shanbo.

The matter of love is truly indescribable.

After all, Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue weren't together, they were still just childhood sweethearts; who he wanted to be with was his freedom.

But standing from Yao Mingyue's perspective, it was natural for Liu Rushuang to feel somewhat disheartened.

However, things having reached this point, seeing her daughter in such a state, she truly couldn't bear it.

"Ming Yue, if Xiaosen doesn't cherish you, then you should just..."

"But, I still like him, I still can't let go of him."

Yao Mingyue bit her lip, crying and laughing: "Mom, am I very pathetic? I still can't forget him…"

Liu Rushuang sighed deeply, looking at her daughter who was deeply trapped, yes, for nearly twenty years.

Their relationship was deeper than that of some newlywed couples, and the pain of truly separating would be nothing less than excruciating.

She held her daughter, "How could that be, there's nothing wrong with liking someone, it's just… perhaps it's not yet fated."

"We are childhood sweethearts, if this is not enough fate, then what is?"

Liu Rushuang had no answer for her either.

These things can only be slowly diminished by time.

"It will pass, maybe there's someone more suitable for you... there's still a long future ahead."

Liu Rushuang wanted to say that perhaps there would be someone more suitable in the future, but in her three to four decades of life, having met so many people, she hadn't found anyone who could be more suitable for her daughter than Xu Musen.

In the minds of everyone, they had long regarded the two as the most suitable match.

It was strange for them not to be together.

But Xu Musen already had a girl he liked, and they couldn't force him to break up with that girl, could they?

"Ming Yue, now that it has come to this, you should let go slowly. There's a long life ahead, and mom is here with you."

When Liu Rushuang said these words, she too felt an unpleasant taste, for Xu Musen had also been the future son-in-law she had long admired.
