Chapter 1675: 1675 Burying the hatchet
“Back then in Wushan Village, if you hadn’t saved , I would have been long dead.” He said, “The Xiao couple didn’t truly care about ; they cared about the fact that I was the sole bloodline. Over five years ago, Xiao Chonghuan and his wife took the risk of giving dicine long-term, which could have paralyzed , just to ensure the Xiao Family’s interests by having marry Gongsun Qianru while I was unconscious. When Xiao Chonghuan thought his maid, Shuang’er, was pregnant, didn’t he declare to sever the father-son relationship with ? But over five years have passed, he has grown older and can no longer have children, so now he pretends to seek out as his son again. And this ti, I have my own plans.”
His eyes flashed with coldness, “For over five years, I have been kind, not seeking any power of the Xiao Family. After all that has happened, I am no longer the kind village man I once was. I will take over the power and wealth of the Xiao Family. When I have control of the Xiao Family’s power, I will make them pay tenfold for how they hard you!”
“You are so cruel…” she could only say.
He smiled, “For you, it doesn’t matter if I go against the entire world!”
A thought stirred in her heart; for her, going against the entire world! A streak of bitterness surged in her chest, “Xiao Yuchuan, actually our separation cannot solely be blad on the Xiao couple.”
“If not them, then who?” His voice carried a hint of cold severity.
“Bla ourselves,” she said lightly, “It was because there wasn’t enough trust between us at the ti that we ended up separating.”
“It was you who didn’t trust !” He was still angry about it, “Today I have succeeded, I have a career, so what? I am not happy at all; my heart and my dreams are all about you! I told you, compared to separating from you, I would rather have nothing; I would rather not be the heir of the Xiao Family! Why did you arbitrarily decide to do sothing good for by fabricating that lie about having an affair with Chang Haotian? Don’t you know that would only make my heartache more, making feel restless even in death?”
She was silent for a mont, “At that ti, you craved power. We had enough to eat and wear, we had money, but compared to the power of the Xiao Family, it was a world of difference. The Xiao couple approached many tis, saying I was not worthy of you, that I shouldn’t be standing in your way…”
He pointed a finger at her lips, “They are blind. In this world, you are the most outstanding woman. In my heart, no one can compare to you…”
“Let finish.” She said calmly, “That was just your thought; the Xiao couple, and others too, believed I wasn’t worthy of the Xiao Family heir. Actually… I only admit it now, back then in such a situation, I did feel inferior.”
“Dear…” his heart ached. Why, why was he so incapable, allowing his dear to be trapped in such a predicant.
She said quietly, “I knew you felt inferior too at that ti. You thought you weren’t worthy of ; that’s why you sought the power of the Xiao Family. I know you were willing to give up being the Xiao Family heir for , but… standing from my perspective, I didn’t want you to give up anything for , I didn’t want to stand in your way. By that ti, I was already at an irreconcilable point with the Xiao couple. The Xiao Family or , you could only choose one.”
“I don’t want the Xiao Family’s power and status, I only want you!” he declared.
“I understand.” She smiled bitterly, “I also struggled for a long ti; even if I kept you then, you were just one step away from imnse power. I feared you would regret it in the future…”
