A slap landed soundly on Xi Cheng’s face, causing it to tilt sideways. “Do you really want me to die?” Han Yuan shouted, trembling with anger. “You want to abandon Lin Yu and your family for that hussy? What did Lin Yu do wrong for you to treat her like this?”
Xi Cheng held a hand to the cheek she’d slapped and didn’t look at his mother. “What about Fang Xi?” he asked sorrowfully. ‘What did she do wrong for you two to treat her so?”
“Of course, she did something wrong!” Han Yuan replied coldly. “She knows you’re engaged, but she still stayed with you. Isn’t that shameful enough?”
Xi Cheng slowly turned to look at his mother. “She didn’t know I was engaged. I just told her that I couldn’t marry her.”
“What’s the difference?” Han Yuan huffed, unconvinced. “She has been gunning to become your wife from the very beginning; her intentions are despicable!”
Xi Cheng smiled bitterly. ‘Mom, you think too highly of me. You also think too lowly of Fang Xi. She spent seven years with me; how many seven years does a woman have? She gave me the best seven years of her life and didn’t take a cent from me.”
“She left the card you gave her and the one I gave her when she walked out. She didn’t touch a single cent on them. Mom, is that what you call despicable? She didn’t know my family background this entire time, so what’s there for her to covet?”
Xi Cheng slowly turned around and stated, “I’ve done my duties to the Xi family and the Lin family my whole life, but the only one I’ve wronged is Fang Xi! I won’t be able to make it up to her even in ten lifetimes. If possible, I’d rather the one who got hit by the car was me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Xi Cheng!” Han Yuan exclaimed, shocked and furious.
Xi Cheng trudged out and faced away from his mother, tears streamed down his face. Han Yuan may not have noticed, but his tears were clear to Lin Yu, standing in the side hall. Xi Cheng turned to look at her blankly before looking away and walking out.
As if nailed to the spot, Lin Yu was unable to move, her heart in so much pain that it felt numb. At that moment, she hated Fang Xi so much that she would chop her into pieces if she could. She hated Fang Xi to the bone!
Yun Liu dropped onto the sofa in exhaustion. “Go get me a glass of water,” she instructed her assistant, Xiao Yun. “I’m exhausted.”
Tan Ning was in the middle of a video call, and seeing that Lin Yu was back, she quickly hung up after a few words and came over to ask, “How was it? Did Madam Liang have a happy time with you?”
