2812 Regret It Once, Regret It Forever
Fate made a fool of her. Shuman’s life was originally more comfortable than hers, but in the end, she couldn’t resist the desire to pursue romance and freedom. She didn’t expect to accidentally fly too far away, so far that she couldn’t come back at all.
Madam Xiao looked at the pomegranate tree too. The image of Xia Jinyuan being hit in the shoulder by a ripe pomegranate when he was playing under the pomegranate tree flashed past her mind.
That year, she wanted to leave the child to the servants, but Xia Xinhui didn’t agree. She entered a cold war with him and even thought that it was because of Ah Yuan’s birth that she couldn’t pursue the life she yearned for. She even disliked her biological son.
“Xiao Shuman, if you really think that my house is a cage to you, you can leave at any time. But let me tell you, as long as you take half a step out of this house, you can forget about coming back.”
Because Ah Yuan was injured by the pomegranate, Xia Xinhui, who came back from the military unit, said something harsh to her for the first time.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. The more upset she felt, the more she didn’t want to stay in the Xia family. Then, she made mistakes again and again until she couldn’t redeem herself.
She could not blame anyone else. She could only blame herself for being too self-centered and making a huge mistake.
Madam Xiao was a talented woman, and a talented woman was more or less a little proud. Madam Xiao was the only daughter of her family. When the Xiao family was well-off, she lived overseas all year round and was doted on. After returning to the country, she stayed overseas and was proficient in several languages. She often partic.i.p.ated in academic conferences with her father, so she was more than a little proud.
She was proud and thought that she could fly further and higher. The world was vast, and she could soar freely.
Actually…
Madam Xiao stood under the sun in a daze and looked at the fruit-bearing pomegranate. Suddenly, she said very softly, “I regret it for the first time in my life…”
Regret it once, regret it forever.
Wrong once, wrong forever.
Her voice was very soft, but it made the corners of Madam Li’s eyes twitch a few times. This was… the first time she heard Xiao Shuman say that she regretted it.
Such a proud person actually said that she regretted it… She said that she regretted it.
Madam Li pursed her lips and restrained the darkness in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Madam Xiao, who was standing in a daze, turned around elegantly and smiled at her. “Let’s go. The sun is too bright. I don’t want you to get a heat stroke.”
“How can it be so easy to get a heat stroke? Let’s go in first.” There was a smile in Madam Li’s eyes, as if she hadn’t heard Madam Xiao’s murmur just now.
For the first time in her life, Xiao Shuman regretted it. But so what if she regretted it? It was an irreversible fact. It was useless no matter how much she regretted it.
That was why people couldn’t be too greedy. If one were too greedy, one would only have oneself to blame. n.o.body else could be blamed.
Xiao Shuman could only blame herself for being young and ignorant. She was too blindly confident and thought that she was amazing.
Madam Li, who was smiling, raised her chin slightly and elegantly followed Madam Xiao into the main hall.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t let Madam Xiao wait for too long. He walked over and glanced at her coldly. When he saw Madam Li accompanying her, a faint haze appeared in his cold eyes.
“Ah Yuan!”
Madam Xiao was very excited, the opposite of the calm Xia Jinyuan. When she saw her son enter, she immediately stood up from her chair and looked at her tall son excitedly. Tears were already s.h.i.+mmering in the corners of her eyes.
“Madam Li, please take a seat. I need to talk to Madam Xiao alone.”
