Hai Xiaotang lowered her eyes slightly, âI know what youâre trying to say, that youâve already made the biggest concession. But Dongfang Yu, I canât just stand by and watch my grandfather suffer⦠Heâs the kindest person to me in this world, heâs my only family leftâ¦â
âEven if he makes a mistake, in my heart, heâs still the best person. If my grandfather is gone, I wouldnât have any family left. No one else would love me, care for me, the world would just be me, aloneâ¦â
âDongfang Yu, I can continue to stay in jail, no matter how long, all I really want is for my grandfather to stay alive, to live wellâ¦â
âBecause heâs just too important to me!â
Every word spoken by Hai Xiaotang was like sulphuric acid corroding Dongfang Yuâs heart!
Once upon a time, the person she cared about the most was him.
But now, it has become her grandfatherâ¦
And he was the one who forced her grandfather to prison, she must hate him deeply.
Yet, he didnât want it to be this way.
For her sake, he had given up seeking responsibility and just wanted to find out the truth.
Her grandfather turned himself in voluntarily.
So, he couldnât save himâ¦
Even if heâs willing, the entire Dongfang Family wouldnât agree!
But seeing Hai Xiaotang in such pain was also causing him great pain.
If he could, disregarding the deep-seated grudges, he truly would sacrifice anything just to make her happy.
Unfortunately, he found himself waveringâ¦
He was indeed wavering, a laughable notion to Dongfang Yu.
âHai Xiaotang, donât plead with meâ¦â He suddenly spoke in a cold tone, âYou really canât plead with me!â
Because he couldnât bear it, he couldnât resist softening his heart, he couldnât resist her pleas.
Yet, Hai Xiaotang thought he had refused her.
She stood there, shocked, an inexplicable chill in her heart, unsure of what to say.
âXiaotang!â A figure suddenly appeared, grabbing hold of her, âDonât beg him, you donât need to beg him! Heâs not worthy of your plea!â
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, âBig Brother Taoâ¦â
Dongfang Yu was surprised to see Tao Yi, the surprise was quickly followed by a sullen expression.
Tao Yiâs gaze was icy, âDongfang Yu, someone like you is simply not worthy of Xiaotangâs affection! From now on, I will take care of Xiaotang. She wonât need you, she wonât beg you anymore!â
After saying that, he dragged away Hai Xiaotang.
Dongfang Yu instinctively stood up, gripping the other hand of Hai Xiaotang.
Very forcefully!
âLet go of meâââ Tao Yi landed a punch on his face, causing Dongfang Yu to stumble and release his grip.
When he looked again, Hai Xiaotang was already quite a distance away.
Dongfang Yuâs hand twitched, then clenched into a fist!
Then he suddenly grabbed a chair, and smashed it on the groundââ
**************
Hai Xiaotang was forcibly taken away by Tao Yi and shoved into the car!
He got into the car from the other side, hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, his whole body filled with suppressed anger.
Hai Xiaotang felt a bit uncomfortable, âBig Brother Taoâ¦â
Tao Yi suddenly turned to her, in a fit of anger, âHai Xiaotang, why did you go to beg him?!â
ââ¦â
âHave you forgotten how he treated you? You still went to beg him! Donât you hate him?! Donât you realize how foolish youâre being?!â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes reddened slightly as she nodded, âI know itâs foolish, I know itâs useless, but what else can I do? What can I do to save Grandfather?â
Feeling her sadness, Tao Yiâs heart ached.
