Chapter 875 - Cages Of Reality & Phantasm (1/2)
”Why is everyone so keen on keeping an eye on us?” questioned Darren helplessly.
”Because I announced that we'd be moving out,” replied Xiu.
”We are really moving out?” asked Darren.
Xiu nodded her head, ”We are.” She touched her stomach that had begun to protrude now. With a gentle look in her eyes, she said, ”I want to give birth to my son at a quiet place.”
”But this house is filled with love and warmth of people who care about you,” reminded Darren.
Xiu gave him a small smile as she replied, ”Right now, I don't need that. I just need some space. A personal time that only belongs to me and my son.”
”Wait. Why am I not included?”
Xiu gave him a look, ”Since when do I have to specify things clearly? Isn't it obvious that you'll be where I am?”
Darren nodded his head in agreement, ”That makes sense.” He took a pause before asking, ”So, when do you want to move?”
”I'm waiting for two things,” said Xiu. ”First, I want to watch the storm that I brewed destroy everything. Second, I'm waiting for our house to get renovated before moving.”
”And for how long this silent storm is gonna go on?” inquired Darren.
Xiu gave him a meaningful look, ”This silent storm has started to rage. Now, it's only gonna engulf whatever and whoever comes in its way.”
Just as Xiu said, the silent storm of hers had really begun to pick up the pace now. She had used everything she had in her hands to start a power struggle within the Xin family. She had already come to a conclusion that whoever had been playing the role of the mastermind had been in the Xin family. And this person had an agenda. Either revenge or power!
Well, whichever it was, she was gonna use her ways to make that mastermind crawl out of his hole!
While Xin Zemin had been staying around his daughter and had completely neglected the Xin family's business. The internal strife had reached a new peak under Xiu's excitement behind the scene. But that wasn't enough to alert Xin Zemin because each of those people would try to hide their claws whenever Xin Zemin was around.
However, they won't hesitate to use the same claws to tear each other apart. Xiu was currently playing the role of the fuel that turns the spark of fire into a raging flame. From Destiny's investigation, she already knew that there was no one clean in the Xin family. Each person was worse than the other.
Right now, Xiu only threw on the stone of suspicion in between that power struggle and all those people instantly turned their claws around and pointed at each other. Each one of them had been trying to tear the other by exposing the wrongdoings but while doing so, they were forgetting that just like you could throw the black water on others, someone could do the same to you.
In this manner, Xiu had actually saved herself a lot of trouble. While each and everyone was fighting among themselves, Xiu had done her best to keep Xin Zemin away from all of this. Although she could destroy the image of the Xin family with what she had, she wasn't keen on doing so.
But that was just for the sake of the two fathers she had now. Since they both loved her so much, she couldn't just hurt them knowing very well what their family's name and honor meant to them. She actually felt pity for her two fathers who had managed to stay grow out of the mud to become so bright. The rest of the Xin family was nothing but muddy water.
That's why she had to do some cleaning before allowing these two fathers to restore their honor.
*Ding!*
Xiu took her cellphone and checked the message she received.
IAmMochi: I can't believe it but the plan worked!
Xiu's eyes sparkled but nothing could be seen on her face. She had been smiling lesser and lesser. Her words were also growing fewer and fewer. But instead of feeling bothered by it, Darren found it quite interesting. Because her silence had grown comfortable now. She wasn't as restless as before. The restlessness that made her talk nonstop seemed to have vanished now.
XX: That's good to hear.
IAmMochi: But Xiuxiu, I have a question.
