Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xi Cheng was still dumbstruck over Lin Yu’s betrayal, muttering, “No way… How’s that possible? Lin Yu… Why did she do that? Why would she do that? She’s family… one of us! She—she’s the young mistress of the Xi family! What could she possibly gain by betraying us like that?”
Han Yuan looked at her son and sneered, “She’s the Xi family’s young mistress with you around. But if you and I are gone, she can use the child in her stomach to become the head of our branch of the Xi family! So, do you still not understand why she did that?”
Xi Cheng was shocked, his disbelief written all over his face. “Where—where is she?” he blurted out. He wanted to go find her and ask her for an explanation.
Han Yuan was beyond disappointed as she stared at her artless and unsophisticated son. She answered, “She’s pregnant with your child. No matter what she has done, the child is innocent. So, in the next few months, the only thing she has to do is take care of her unborn child. You two can talk after she has given birth. It’s your own business whether you guys leave or stay. From there on, you two have nothing to do with the Xi family.”
“Mom?!” Xi Cheng abruptly lifted his head and asked, voice trembling. “Do you really not want me anymore?”
Han Yuan turned her face away and pushed her wheelchair away. “It’s my fault you are the way you are today,” she uttered detachedly. “The only thing I can help you with now is to let you get up on your own and walk out. Otherwise, I would live and die discontented for having let down the Xi family’s ancestors!”
“Mom! Mom! I’ve learnt my lesson, I really have! Mom!” Xi Cheng rushed over and kneeled before Han Yuan again, begging imploringly.
Han Yuan raised her head to stop her tears from falling. However, tears were already inadvertently streaming down her face. She forcefully pushed Xi Cheng away forcefully and said gravely, “Shi Nian, John! Watch over him! I’m leaving him to you guys!”
John silently came forward and forcibly pulled Xi Cheng to his feet, stopping him from pouncing toward Han Yuan once more.
“Yun Nan, please send me back,” Han Yuan whispered. Yun Nan quickly went to take hold of the push handles on Han Yuan’s wheelchair and left the meeting room with Han Yuan without saying a word.
“Mom!” They could hear Xi Cheng sadly cry out behind them. However, Han Yuan had no intention of stopping at all.
