Chapter 578 - Buy His Support (1/2)
Lin Mengya, who had always been open and aboveboard, brought it up directly even if it was about making use of each other.
Xiao Yixin was secretly shocked and wondered why the girl showed some heroic spirit of the men of the Lin family.
He still remembered Lin Mengya as the lovely little girl he had seen in his childhood.
Unexpectedly, she had grown up into a smart and alert lady when he didn’t notice her.
“I’ve been a disabled person who couldn’t do anything for the rest of my life. I’m willing to do anything for you even at the expense of my own life, Your Highness.”
Hearing Xiao Yixin’s words, Lin Mengya lifted the corners of her mouth.
In fact, Xiao Yixin was a rare talent. At that time, no one in the whole capital city didn’t know that he and his elder brother were respectively versed in literature and martial arts.
However, although Xiao Yixin was modest and kind at that time, he still had the arrogance of a childe of noble birth.
Now, being poisoned with the Venomous Armored Insect eliminated the last bit of his impatience.
He probably would have boundless prospects.
He could be considered a big potential stock, so she decided to draw him over to her side in advance.
“Brother Yixin, don’t say that. We have been friends since our childhood, and I’ve always considered you my brother. In fact, after thinking for a long time, I think it’s time to tell you something. Uncle Xiao…”
Before Lin Mengya could finish her words, Xiao Yixin’s face immediately changed.
Seeing his anxious eyes, Lin Mengya figure out what he was thinking.
“Don’t be nervous. Uncle Xiao is fine. It’s just that some time ago after my father came back, he sent someone to visit Uncle Xiao and heard that Uncle Xiao fell sick. My father has sent the best doctor in the capital city to treat him, but Uncle Xiao fell sick from worry. Since you disappeared, Uncle Xiao has broken down from constant overwork and been no longer as healthy as before. Moreover, your cousin brothers and your brothers born of your father’s concubines are not easy to deal with. A few months ago, I heard a scandal that they took advantage of the power of the Xiao family to kidnap a girl and got into a fight. Now my brother is in the capital city and often visits Uncle Xiao, so he managed to suppress the disturbance. But if things go on like this, I’m afraid that Uncle Xiao will die of anger aroused by these wicked people sooner or later.”
As Lin Mengya told the story, she observed Xiao Yixin’s expression.
As the eldest son of his family, he was responsible for revitalizing his family. In fact, he kept it in mind all the time.
Part of the reason why he left without saying goodbye before was that he was afraid that his horrible appearance would bring shame on his family.
Unexpectedly, his selfishness and willfulness hurt his parents, who doted on him, and brought damage to his clan he had been proud of.
“These bastards! The Xiao clan’s reputation established in a hundred years will sooner or later be destroyed by them!”
Xiao Yixin clenched his fists and said with a regretful and angry look.
Lin Mengya knew that her words gave Xiao Yixin enough mental stimulation.
After that, whether she could make Xiao Yixin pick up the courage to return to the Xiao family depended on what she was going to say.
“There is another thing that I have to tell you now. Uncle Xiao has never given up looking for you. He still considers you the son he is proud of. However, some people can’t bear to see you come back. Since they can’t find you, they intend to kill your parents. My husband has secretly sent some people to protect them. I heard that they once found some arsenic in your parents’ diet.”
“What? Bastards! Bastards!”
Xiao Yixin even failed to maintain the last bit of his calmness.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Mengya with a raging fire in his dark eyes which could even burn out the dark night.
With a “bang”, he hit the trunk next to him with his fists.
Trickles of blood came out from his scratch.
However, Xiao Yixin didn’t notice it at all.
“It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! Father, mother!”
As an eight-foot-tall man, he was helpless and could only smash the tree trunk to vent his anger at this moment.
He had to find a way to vent the anger accumulating in his heart.
So of course, Lin Mengya would give him this opportunity.
“Brother Yixin, I just hope that you could return to the Xiao family. His Highness, my brother, and I will definitely do our best to help you. In any case, your parents should not suffer this.”
Hearing Lin Mengya mention that she could that he could return to the Xiao family, Xiao Yixin immediately turned his head, and the determination in his eyes gradually became unshakable.
“Okay.”
However, the next moment, he knelt down in front of Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya hurriedly tried to help him up with a surprised look, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yixin stopped her.
“Sister Mengya, if it weren’t for you, I would have become a useless person now. Moreover, if it weren’t for the protection of Uncle Lin and Brother Nansheng, my father and mother would have been killed. I have nothing but loyalty and sincerity. I’m willing to do anything for you and Prince Yu in this life even at the expense of my own life!”
After saying this sincerely and prudently, Xiao Yixin kowtowed hard three times on the ground before Lin Mengya reacted.
“Please get up, Young Master Xiao. My wife and I cannot accept this.”
Long Tianyu walked up to Lin Mengya at some point in time.
