Chapter 860: Pay For One’s Rabid Evil Doing
“If Little Tian had not sought help from me, I probably wouldn’t have known when she’d be found! She’s not eating, she’s not drinking, and she’s gotten so thin she’s practically just skin and bones…”
w.a.n.g Xixuan told Dongfang Ming everything as he held back the tears that were at the brink of rolling down his cheeks.
Dongfang Ming listened to him quietly. He had nothing but sympathy towards the girl’s misfortune. There was nothing else he could do!
“Brother w.a.n.g, I am deeply sympathetic towards your sister but, alas, I cannot help you.” He frowned at the man apologetically.
If he chose to visit the girl, or console her, there might be unspeakable and more terrifying consequences!
“Brother Dongfang, even if you have no feelings for her, you grew up together with her. There must be a deep bond of friends.h.i.+p between you two. Didn’t you say you treat her like she’s your sister? Isn’t that reason enough to see her?
“Can you bear to watch her rot and sink into despair, as she continues to torture herself?”
“Brother w.a.n.g, of course I don’t want to see her do that to herself, but you know how stubborn she is! If she hadn’t been like that, we wouldn’t be in this mess!”
Dongfang Ming sighed for a moment and then continued, “If I go and visit her, it’s because I care for her like she’s my sister. But she doesn’t think like that, and she’ll live on with this misunderstanding!”
Dongfang Ming told w.a.n.g Xixuan everything that was on his mind without any reservations.
Outside, Ming Yan heard the entire conversation. Slightly frowning, he felt sympathetic towards w.a.n.g Xiangyun too, but at the same time, he believed she deserved it!
It was about time she paid for her own rabid evil doing!
“I get it! But Yun Er really needs your consolation right now. Are you really so heartless that you’re willing to ignore her? I can guarantee you, Brother Ming, as long as you agree to check on her and save her from herself, I’ll never allow Yun Er to bother you again!”
It was his own fault to begin with. He had been careless. He had been pampering her so much and that was what led to their current situation. He had not corrected her errors. He had failed as a brother and he regretted it.
Dongfang Ming shook his head. “No, it’s not that I don’t want to help her. There’s nothing I can do to help! She has to overcome this herself.”
He rejected the request once more, because it was the right thing to do!
“Time heals all wounds!”
w.a.n.g Xixuan had been kneeling next to him the whole time. He could no longer hold back his tears.
“Please, Brother Dongfang, I beg you. Help Yun Er, will you?”
He resorted to kowtowing, but the other man stopped him.
“Don’t do this! Don’t make it hard for me!” Dongfang Ming urged him again to get up, but w.a.n.g Xixuan refused.
Seeing how the events turned out, Dongfang Ming shook his head and sighed. Like brother, like sister. Both of them are so stubborn!
“I know this is probably a difficult decision to make, but it’s not like I have a choice! Yun Er’s my only sister. I can’t bear to see her torture herself…”
Who wouldn’t be moved by w.a.n.g Xixuan, a man willing to sink onto his knees and beg on his sister’s behalf?
Dongfang Ming was indeed moved by his actions, but nevertheless he still turned down the request ruthlessly. “Brother w.a.n.g, you are a wise man. You know what I say is right! Please leave!”
He shouted to the person outside the room, “Ming Yan, see our guest out!”
Ming Yan entered the room when he heard his master call for him.
He might have heard the minor changes in w.a.n.g Xixuan’s voice, but he never imagined the man would kneel and beg before his master.
“Master w.a.n.g, please come with me,” Ming Yan said to him respectfully.
But w.a.n.g Xixuan ignored him. He continued to plead heedlessly, his head hanging low. “Brother Dongfang, I won’t get up if you won’t help me!”
