Chapter 191 - Ism Always With You (1/2)

Xu Mey's eyes held an eagerness while her heart was anxious to know the answer.

"The person you call your Sensei is the one who came to me." Xu Mey's body stiffened and soon she felt strange in her heart. Xu Cheng continued, "When that person came to me, I was skeptical but he assured me that he'd be able to save you. And I believed him."

Xu Mey sat at the side in silence pondering his words in her mind for a long while. Then she gazed at her father's pale face and said, "Do you think that after knowing all this I should forgive you?"

Xu Cheng's expressions didn't have much of a change in them except that he smiled faintly. "I didn't ask for your forgiveness because I know better now that I don't deserve your forgiveness. Whatever I did was a cowardly act. If you think that I didn't try to get a divorce than you're wrong. Fu Lan played the game that I couldn't win and I ended up losing my Xu Corporation to her."

"To get you out of Fu Lan's reach, I made sure that Xu Liqing wasn't around while your marriage with Ye Jie was fixed. To be honest, there was no promise of marriage between both families. It was something made up by your grandfather and your father-in-law, Ye Kang." The things she hated him for was all her own thinking and this fact was even more hurting. As they say, our own negative thoughts turn a small lake appears as an ocean.

Her head played so much with her that she never tried to look at everything that her father did for her. She only focused on the bad things and pushed him away from her own self.

"Dad, the only thing that you gave me in this life is my husband. Other than him, I can't think of anything that could prove that you're a good father." Xu Cheng smiled at her words. "I might not hate you anymore from now on but I can't forget everything so easily."

Seeing her looking away from him and intending to leave, Xu Cheng said, "You don't have to feel bad about that. Just remember, this father had always been with you and he will always stay behind President Xu."

Xu Mey instantly turned. "Dad, you... You knew?" She asked hesitantly.

"The one who's been hiding you from the world actually gave me the access to watch over you. Of course, I knew. And dad's been always proud of you. I knew you will be the pride of our family from the day you're born. But I only want you to know one thing."

"What's that?" She inquired.

"This was the last straw of hope that I left for Xu Liqing. My patience has run out now. So, I don't care what you do with both of them now. But I want to see you unscathed. No harm should befall on you." Xu Mey could perceive that her father was serious with his words and it made the resistance in her heart to melt away.

She left the room with a bit of heavy heart and complicated feelings. She always wished for her father's love and now, she finally knew that he loved her. But the disappointment was so big that she couldn't just forget everything that easily.

While she was leaving the room in a daze. she heard, "Baby, how was the chat with your dad?" Xu Mey was startled for a moment before she felt the warmth of his big hands on her shoulders.

"Ah-Jie, do you think I'm wrong for not wanting to forgive him so easily? It's not that I don't want to forgive him. But I'm still a child in heart who wants to see how far her father can go to conciliate her." Xu Mey leaned back in his chest.
