Chapter 893 - It Was Comforting (2/2)
”How many times do I have to say that you talk too much?” Xiu waved a hand, ”Someone shut her up. She is annoying me now. No wonder a mother like you couldn't provide a family for her sons. I'd also lose my mind if I had to hear your voice every day.”
At Xiu's order, someone indeed stepped out and pressed an acupuncture point on Mother Xin's neck to make her lose her voice temporarily. Finally, Xiu could breathe. This woman's voice was really making her lose her patience.
She looked at Mother Xin who was struggling and all the people who stepped up to help her as well. But soon, her eyes shifted towards the man who didn't move an inch from his spot. He was staring at Xiu like a predator.
Xiu didn't try to get close to him but she still said, ”Although my grandmother is senile, she isn't wrong. I am a mentally challenged person. What can we do about that? That's just who I am.”
Xiu had no problem announcing that something was wrong with her brain. She knew it herself. Why couldn't she tell others? Hasn't she been calling herself crazy all this while? She wasn't kidding at all.
”Won't you help her, Granduncle?” questioned Xiu. ”After all, you laid out such a detailed plan to get her.”
Father Xin took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes before looking at Xiu, ”It's such a pity that Suyin didn't manage to kill you.”
Xiu laughed out at his words, ”Oh no! The fact is not that she didn't manage to kill me, she didn't want to kill me. How could she do it? She had already killed her own daughter, she had lost her will to do anything else. Am I right, Aunt Suyin?”
Father Xin turned around to see Xin Suyin sitting in a far corner. He had no idea that she was even present at this dinner tonight. No one invited her here.
”Oh, I specially invited her for today's show,” told Xiu. ”After all, she should also see her father's real face. Don't you think?”
Father Xin glared at Xiu hatefully but it didn't have any effect on her. She had gone through a whole lot already. She not only had to face torture as Chen Xiu, she even had every single memory of Destiny. And combining the effect of what they both went through, Xiu didn't think there was anything she was scared of anymore.
Xin Suyin's face was like someone who had lost their soul. She didn't react to anything at all. She couldn't even process much right now. Her constant nightmares made her scared of sleeping and the call for help from her 'daughter' made her scared of staying awake. She had no way out of this.
Xiu stared at her lifeless face as she continued, ”Chen Xiu's death ensured my life. I feel like that was a good bargain. What do you say, grandfather? Was it a good bargain to use your brother's life to ensure yours? But at what expense? You couldn't even keep your identity.”
Before she could speak anymore, Father Xin moved and picked up a knife from the table as he charged at her. However, before he could even touch her shadow, with a loud 'bang' the knife was shot away from his hand.
He held his wrist that suffered from the impact and looked towards the source of it.
”Uncle Kuan, I told you he will try to kill me.”
Xin Kuan's gaze at Father Xin was hostile as his gun's muzzle was still hot and pointed at his face.
”You think I have no way out?”
Xiu grinned and nodded, ”Yes, you have no way out. You can keep pressing that button on your watch. No one will come. Currently, the whole Xin Manor is under my control. Okay, it's under Uncle Kuan's control but it's the same thing.” She clapped her hands excitedly, ”We are not going out of here tonight before I get tired of playing this game. So, it's better people stop making noises. I don't like it.”
The people who had been trying to held Mother Xin had all turned silent from the moment they heard the gunshot. None of them didn't even dare breathe loudly in fear.
And Xiu very much liked this silence. It was comforting.
