Chapter 21 can be found in before VesperLxD.
Xiaodi was unable to make head or tail of Yonggang's words. She raised her head and took a glimpse at him before immediately lowered her head to look at the child in her arms.
Yonggang laughed for a moment before calming down. However, he continued to wear a cold and indifference look, ”Xiaodi, from the bottom of my heart, I am really thankful to you! If at that time you had really eloped with me, who knows where and what kind of hards.h.i.+p we would suffer? Also, I would not have my today's success and a beautiful future ahead! The reason for my achievement was all because you had made the right choice! If it wasn't due to your consideration of me at that time, I would not have been able to come this far. Anyway, my achievement today was because of your decision you made on that day so today I specifically came to thank you!”
Xiaodi was startled by his words but what he had said was the truth. Xiaodi forced back her tears that were acc.u.mulated at the rim of her eyes. She did not want to cry in front of him. Xiaodi lowered her head and did not speak, making it seemed that she was regretful of her choice.
However, his purpose of coming here wasn't to say these few words. Though there was a bit of unwillingness, in the end, he still said whatever that was on his mind. His tone and his att.i.tude clearly showed that they contained traces of disdain and relief. It was as if Xiaodi's decision allowed him to see the light again and gave him a brand new life. Also, if the someone was to marry Xiaodi, it would be like a faulty stroke in calligraphy or painting, becoming the world most unluckiest person!
The corner of Yonggang's lips rosed and brazenly said, ”Looking at you living a blissful life in this luxurious environment, I'm really happy for you! Since we grew up together, though we can't become lovers, I felt that our relations.h.i.+p is much closer compared to with the whole village! Seeing you living this well, it really make people envy! Though your husband is old, he knew how to be considerate and is also devoted to you. He is also rich and really knows how to take care of the family, this kind of person is really hard to come by! It seems like you really know how to choose people!”
In this village and also the other surrounding village, who didn't know of Peng Jiafu's character? She could only 打掉门牙往肚子里咽, as she, in the beginning, was in the wrong and did not live up to expectation, and also because of her family, she could only drink this bitter wine alone!
[TLN: 打掉门牙往肚子里咽- can only swallow the pain and suffering]
However, Xiaodi did not complain and only blamed herself. From Yonggang's words, even a fool would know that he was being sarcastic. He wholeheartedly wanted to rub on Xiaodi's wound in her heart as remedy to his hatred in his own heart.
At this moment, Xiaodi understood Yonggang's purpose for seeing her. She continued to lower her head and did not speak a word. If this would make him happy then let him say since it didn't matter whatever happened to her! She was like a wooden doll, towards those ridicule, there was hardly any response from her.
In fact, only Xiaodi herself understood how painful her heart was. No matter how others say to her or do to her, she was already used to it and did not put those words to heart. However, Yonggang was different. He was the person she once loved and also the person she most cared about. Those words that he said were like many steel needles p.r.i.c.king her heart.
On seeing Xiaodi continued to lower her head in silence, Yonggang felt that she really was unlucky though he was rejoicing in her misfortune. He leaned forward and asked with a voice that made people uncomfortable, ”Xiaodi, your that old man did not ask who was the first man you did it with? He had played with so many women, it couldn't be that whether you are that he did not know right?”
Xiaodi stubbornly held back her tears as she lifted her head to glimpse at him. She felt hurt as she could not believe that the man in front of her was the one she once knew, obedient to, considerate to and would always cherish was really Yonggang. She felt that he was like a stranger to her. His smug smile looked frightening and evil!
When he saw Xiaodi casting him a glimpse, he was stunned for a moment. This one glimpse caused his blood to freeze and his whole body to uncomfortably stiffen! Her eyes showed her pain and helplessness, causing him to feel heartbroken and pity for her. He suddenly felt that the girl right in front of him had become unfamiliar to him. There was something different about her compared to her from before.
