Chapter 586 - Oh, so This is Biological (2/2)
”Yes, she did.” Gao Yi shut his eyes. ”She could not… not accept because Gao Xin was still small back then, and she had no means of leaving that man. She treated Bai Luoyin like her own, but she did not treat Gao Xin badly even more.
”Why would I leave the house? Well, that's because Bai Zhenfeng wanted me to marry Bai Luoyin. Or perhaps you could say that it was his intention all along. All the effort he put into bringing me up all this while was not because he loved me, but it was to develop a passable husband for his daughter.
”I did not agree. I was studying business as my major in university, with medicine as my minor. I had also started to give up on business and turned to the medical profession instead so from then on, I had rejected everything of the Bai family's and also rejected marrying Bai Luoyin.
”I did not hate anyone. I just did not want my own life, my own destiny… to be in the shadow of someone else. Yes, I do owe the Bai family, but I do not want to use the rest of my life to repay this debt.”
As he finished talking, Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on his. Their similar predicament seemed to have brought their hearts closer. Perhaps it was because of this that led Xia Ruoxin to finally understand the troubles behind this man and the hidden bitterness behind his smile.
A muffled cry came from the door. Gao Yi stood up immediately and walked towards the outside while Xia Ruoxin carefully placed her daughter on the sofa and followed suit.
Outside the door, Wei Lan was leaning against the pillar and was crying with her mouth covered. Gao Xin's eyes were also red as she comforted her from time to time, also burning uncomfortably. Sadness was written all over his youthful face.
”Mom!” Gao Yi yelled as he walked out. He did not expect it to be Wei Lan. Did they hear everything that Gao Yi said to Xia Ruoxin?
Wei Lan hurriedly wiped her face. She was already so old; how could she still cry in front of her son? How embarrassing.
She watched the woman that came out with Gao Yi. This was the wife that his son picked. How wonderful, she was really pretty, really gentle. Compared to Bai Luoyin, she was so much better. This time, she wanted to make her own decision. Since she had already lost her own happiness, she would make sure that his son would get his.
”You're Ruoxin, right?” asked Wei Lan as she inched closer and held Xia Ruoxin's hands, causing Xia Ruoxin to be shocked for nothing.
”Yes, I am, Auntie. I am Ruoxin, nice to meet you.” The Wei Lan in front of her was really gentle, and even though she might not be happy, but she was a good mother. They were both mothers; she understood her.
”Next time, don't call me Auntie. You can just follow Xiao Yi and call me Mom,” said Wei Lan gently. This child's eyes were really pretty, and so was her heart, she guessed.
