Chapter 300 - That is my wish (2/2)
How could he have treated his own mother that way?
Li Fazhan followed suit. He knelt down and also apologized for his shortcoming. Both wives joined. Muchen also joined and immediately he did so, Sara followed suit. Hoy, Minde, Heya, they all knelt down to apologize for how bad they treated her.
For the first time, they heard Sun cry out. She had cried on her birthday but no one had actually heard her sob. But today, they all did.
”It was my fault. I cannot blame you all for anything.”
She apologized for being the bad one first.
It had been her who first abandoned them because of the resentment she bore.
She narrated how she had been forced to get married to Li Chengli.
She had not wanted to and had even protested, but her parents had forced her to do so for business sake.
On meeting Li Chengli, she did not like him one bit. Neither did he like her.
So even though they had been married, they lived like strangers for two years without speaking to each other.
When the pressure came for them to produce an heir from both sides, they had no other option but to do so.
He needed an heir.
She needed company.
Along the line after they became intimate, she began to fall for her husband and he showed her the signs that he was beginning to like her too.
Gradually, they both began to communicate and act like a married couple.
Only for her to realise that while he was going for his 'business meetings' and trips, he was actually meeting his mistress.
The whole thing shattered her because she had actually thought he liked her. She thought they had both been on the same page, she thought she was finally going to live like other couples.
But it had all been her wishful thinking.
At that time, she had already given birth to Li Han. The period when she was pregnant with Li Fazhan, his mistress died during labour. The son she gave birth to also died with her.
Li Chengli then turned to an entirely different person.
He became literally mad to the point where he beat her up whilst she was pregnant.
He did not go to work or do anything.
Only thing he did was to cry and drink every night.
And even during labour, he did not visit her at the hospital.
She then realised that his mistress was the woman he truly loved but could not marry because of his family.
For two good years, he continued to behave like that.
It seemed like he poured his anger on Li Fazhan especially since Fazhan always reminded him that his mistress's son would have been the same age as him if he had not died.
Was he not supposed to treat Fazhan well because of that? But No, a couple of times, he had hit Fazhan quite harshly which caused Sun to become even bitter.
Until one morning, she woke up to see his lifeless body floating inside their pool.
He had gotten drunk and fell into the pool the previous night.
Sun could not bear the hurt.
The heartbreak.
The anger.
If it was possible to kill him a second time, she would have.
She devoted her time to building the company he almost destroyed.
She thought she was born with badluck and did not want to inflict her children with it and so she focused more in building the company.
By the time she wanted to show them real love, it was already too late.
She was already the Devil-Sun.
She explained to Han that she had not actually transferred the company to Fazhan because he married the woman she asked him not to.
She had done so because she felt Fazhan deserved Li Chengli's company after everything he went through in his hands.
Right from when she was pregnant with him, Chengli had dealt mercilessly with her.
It was the only gift she could have given to Fazhan who his father hated.
”I am sorry to you all. I know I was wrong. But I love all of you with my heart.. And I am blessed to have you all as a part of this family”
Sun said as tears continued to flow from her eyes.
Han shook his head to let her know he was not sad about it.
Fazhan still looked shocked after everything he just heard. He could vaguely remember the beatings he received from his father and he knew he never like him.
His father was even worse than he had expected.
A cheat and a woman beater!
”And Sara... I am sorry for threatening your family. I would not have actually done anything bad to them. Please forgive me”
Just like everyone else, Sara also had tears in her eyes.
Sun's life must have been really hard and lonely.
”It's fine Madam Li. I hold nothing against you” Sara said to her in a gentle voice.
”Can you...grant me a wish?” Sun asked her in a very faint voice.
”A wish? What wish?”
Everyone was also eager to hear what Sun had to say.
”I don't have much time left. But I would love to see you both get married before I die. That is my wish.”
