1270 Relieved 1Xi Xinyi tried to hold her tears in, refusing to show her weak side in front of Xi Xiaye at all. She did not want to reveal her weakness and pain, but she could not bear it at this moment. Every time she thought about the pain she had gone through, she just could not control her emotions.
Especially when she was right in front of Xi Xiaye, she had no idea how to express the bitterness and pain within her. She could only put on a tough front when she was working in the office as well.
It was the first time she felt this alone and helpless. She was worried and afraid, especially when she thought about Han Yifeng and her son…
Xi Xiaye just stood there quietly as Xi Xinyi grabbed onto her. Her eyes darkened.
“I can’t help you. This is between you and Han Yifeng.” While Xi Xiaye’s tone of voice was calm, she sounded helpless. “I tried to ask him. He…he said he might be able to go back to the way things were again. He loves your son, and I’m sure he’ll give your son a great childhood and even provide him a smooth path in life.”
“No, you can do something! You can! If you say something and Brother-in-law is willing to help, my son will be back by my side! I know Han Yifeng and I can’t go back to the way we were anymore, but I’m willing to do anything to be with my child. You’re a mother too. You must know how I feel. I beg you! I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past. I was foolish and wicked. It’s all my fault. I promise I’ll change. Please?”
For the sake of her child and future, she was willing to cast her pride away.
“You overestimate me. The one Han Yifeng loves is you. Our relationship is all in the past now. How do you want me to convince him? Do I tell him that for the sake of our past relationship, he should give you a chance?” Xi Xiaye looked down at Xi Xinyi. She did not feel her revenge fulfilled upon seeing Xi Xinyi’s sorry state. Perhaps, that feeling was lost ever since Han Yifeng left.
In her life right now, she had Mu Yuchen, her sons, along with her family and friends. Han Yifeng and some other people were in the past. It would just be plain awkward even if they met right now, so why should she care?
She would rather spend more time with Mr. Mu, her sons, and the people she cared about instead of wasting her time hating her.
“You can! I’m sure you still hold a place in Han Yifeng’s heart. He has always felt guilty towards you, so he’ll agree to whatever you ask of him!” Xi Xinyi grabbed Xi Xiaye tightly as if she was clinging onto her final strand of hope.
“Xi Xinyi, do you still want me to talk about our old feelings with Han Yifeng? You truly overestimate me. I hold a place in his heart? Please don’t say things like that ever again, or else, you’ll cause another drama. I want you to remember that my husband and I are very much in love with each other, and it will stay that way forever.”
As Xi Xiaye pushed Xi Xinyi’s hand away, her expression darkened and she looked away before leaving.
“I don’t really remember the past anymore. If you want your child to return to your side, you need to be courageous. A lot of things might not be as important as you thought. Be prepared to give up on some of them. That’s what Mr. Mu wanted me to tell you. Take care.” Xi Xiaye then disappeared out of the doorway.
Xi Xinyi seemed a little lost. She only returned to her senses when she heard the sound of the bead curtain making noises. By then, Xi Xiaye had already long gone. She then realized what Xi Xiaye just said.
She said that she had already forgotten about the past!
She also said those things about wanting her child to return to her, and that Mu Yuchen told her to pass on that message. Did that mean…?
Did that mean that she had forgiven her?
Dumbfounded, Xi Xinyi quickly stood up and chased after her. Her hoarse voice broke through the silence in the teahouse.
“Sis—”
Her voice was filled with guilt and apology, as well as a ton of bitterness.
Xi Xiaye paused as she walked down the staircase. She raised her head slightly and looked at the warm sun in the sky. With a deep breath, she continued to walk away after the brief pause.
“CEO Xi!” The bodyguards standing outside quickly came over and opened the car door.
Xi Xiaye nodded and went in.
“To Glory World.” Xi Xiaye closed her eyes after she stated her next destination.
“Yes, CEO Xi! But you haven’t had lunch yet…”
“It’s fine. I’m not hungry. There are some urgent documents to take care of.”
She had received a message from Mu Yuchen that morning telling her to send him several documents to his office, so she had to hurry.
Xiao Mei did not press the issue further. She glanced at the chauffeur and the car was soon on its way.
The car had already left when Xi Xinyi ran outside. She could only catch a glimpse of the car’s silhouette…
When Xi Xiaye opened her eyes, she noticed Xi Xinyi in the rearview mirror. For some reason, she felt bitter inside.
Perhaps, she was trying to convince herself that she felt relieved, or maybe it was because she heard Xi Xinyi called her “Sis” at the end.
Xi Xiaye sighed as she looked out the window, shocked to find herself on the verge of tears. She blinked several times as she told herself that they were sisters after all. They were family…
Even if they had been in conflict before, if she could change and be good, she deserved a chance.
She was not as stubborn as she thought. They were family after all.
