âBut why? Grandma, you saved Master Qi. Werenât you moved by their love? Sister Xing is Master Qiâs love! She has sacrificed so much for Master Qi. What more do you want from her?â Xiao Yiâs voice trembled as he questioned Ma Ji.
Ma Jiâs smile did not change. âSilly child, donât act like this. No matter how much you speak up for her, she wonât trust you anymore. After all, you are my grandson.â
Xiao Yi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
The pirates gathered around us. Ma Ji ordered them to take away everything they could.
âNanxing, Iâm sorry. Thereâs no reason to leave empty-handed. You can only blame yourself. Your parents left too much for you. Consider this as sharing your wealth with the poor.â Ma Ji painted her robbery so beautifully.
I said lightly, âMoney and wealth mean nothing to me. Plus, I canât really do anything to stop you anyway.â
Was it my fault that my parents were rich?
Xiao Yi clenched his teeth. He watched from the side as the pirates carried our supplies and bullets onto the ship one by one.
His hands were clenched into fists and were slightly trembling. The pirates brought out Tong Yan. Her expression was dull. She glanced at me indifferently before averting her gaze.
This made me very puzzled. Shouldnât she be in high spirits? After all, she had worked hard as bait to have me captured.
Xiao Yi and I were escorted onto the ship. The pirates couldnât stop cheering. The crowd was excited and happy.
Ma Ji and I sat opposite each other. Xiao Yi sat far away on the deck with a sad look on his face.
I couldnât help but sigh in my heart.?What kind of unlucky fate was this?! The tragedies were just endless! Even for a person who was reborn, this was an absurd amount of bad luck.
I adjusted into a comfortable posture as I tried to connect the dots in my mind.
Admiration crossed Ma Jiâs eyes.
âSo, youâre my uncle Tong Huiâs people? Heâs Master San?â I asked.
She shook her head. âHeâs not the Master San.â
âOh? Master San is someone else?â I furrowed my brows. Things were so complicated.
Ma Ji nodded slightly.
âNow, can you tell me if Jing Tianâs poison is really incurable?â I asked.
Ma Ji smiled, âYou want to know if Jing Tian still remembers you?â
I nodded. âThatâs right. But what I want to know the most is whether youâve really cured him. Whether he really remembers me is not important anymore. Perhaps itâs best he forgets all about me.â
Ma Ji sighed. âYou are such a foolish woman. What is so great about Jing Tian that you love him so much? Nanxing, youâre exceptionally silly when it comes to love.â
I shrugged. âRelationships are special. Since youâve never loved anyone, you donât understand such feelings.â
Ma Jiâs expression changed slightly, and her expression turned cold. âWhat you call love is just wishful thinking on your part.â
I chuckled. âDoes it matter? Love makes one feel happy. Itâs great if love is mutual and it makes two people happy. But if it doesnât, then itâs not so bad for me to retreat to the side and bless him. That makes me happy too.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ma Jiâs expression was filled with disdain.. âIs that really the case? Nanxing, why are you lying to yourself? Can you really do it? It doesnât matter what happens to you as long as he is happy?â
