Chapter 248 - Leaked Private Video (1/2)
”I hate you for demanding me to be a perfect child when you cannot be the perfect parents,” Hu Che continued. The little guy is looking brave though Guan Xian could see his slightly trembling hand.
”I hate that you never attend me to any of activities, even though I've become the star of the show.”
”I hate it when you two ask me to be considerate when you never tried to understand me.”
”Why should I care about thousand of people in the company? Why should I give up my needs to fulfill their needs? Why can't I be selfish?” Hu Che asks, lowering his head as tears start to blur his sight.
He looks at his father's shiny leathered shoes. The flames that initially roar in his heart slowly dissipate when he sees his mother cry. His short leg suddenly felt funny as a sob escaped from his mouth, ”I hate the fact that we have loads of money, and yet, we are poor.”
”I have a mansion, but not a home.”
”That's not all that I hate. Mom, Dad, do you know what I hate the most?”
”I hate that you lied about everything.”
”Hu Che!” Hu Che's dad calls his name, carrying a fit of anger on his tone.
”Yes, Dad?” Hu Che shouted back. ”Did I say something wrong? I could tolerate this obnoxious feeling of being lonely because I knew everyone made their sacrifices. At least, in the past, I knew that love present in our family. Before the separation.”
Hu Che's exclamation silenced his parents.
”Yes, I know about the divorce.”
Mother Hu tried to take a step closer to the stage, saying, ”Parting does not mean that love does not exist. Hu Che, I hope-”
Mother Hu could not finish her sentence as their eyes met. Her face got shadowed by the shame of realization as she saw a weak smile appear on her beloved son.
”Hu Che! Mom is sorry,” Mother Hu cried, finally breaking down upon her late awakening.
”Hu Che,” Father Hu called his son in a guilty tone. A heavy burden for being a failure as a father weight on his shoulder.
Hu Che looks at his dear parents, sobbing as he drops the mic.
”I only want my mom and dad beside me. I don't need an apology. I've done everything I could to make you proud, and I will do more! But mom, dad, please don't leave me alone,” Hu Che wept, sitting on the cold stage.
”I'm so scared,” he bawled.
The sound of his sobbing rang in everyone's ears, causing an ache in every heart. Even Tang Yu Bin secretly wipe his tears. His parent instantly approaches him and pull the little guy into a hug, calming his own while apologizing.
Hu Che's statement got Guan Xian stunned. Although Hu Che seems to be a brutally honest kid around the Guan family, he was never good at confronting his parents.
Guan Xian took a glance at Xia Sha, who didn't seem to be surprised at all. At most, she looks nervous and expects something at the same time. With a slightly furrowed eyebrow, Guan Xian mouthed, ”Don't tell me that you are the speechwriter?”
Xia Sha did not answer. She got enamored by Hu Che that she could not bother answering Guan Xian's question right now. Witnessing how passionate Xia Sha seems to look right now, Guan Xian felt amused and helpless at the same time.
”Hu Che- Daddy apologize for you for everything,” Hu Che's father said, patting his back as he added, ”Daddy is proud of you for today, thank you.”
Mother Hu nodded her head, whispering apologized to her only son while her husband soothed her back.
Hu Che shook his head, resigning to his parent's warmth as he said, ”Hu Che is also sorry for letting mom and dad down. I shouldn't make mom and dad sad.”
”Well, I didn't expect that,” Guan Xian mumbles as a big grin appears on his face. A sense of pride filled his chest while he turned to Xia Sha.
At the same time, Xia Sha is glancing at Guan Xian with a broken smile on her face. She let out a long sigh of relief before she said, ”let's go home.”
