Both of the strikes had embarra.s.sed Gu Xietian and resulted in the reason he treated Gu Xijiu terribly. That was because he often recalled his wife betraying him whenever he saw Gu Xijiu.Coupled with the fact that Gu Xijiu had been discovered to have zero talent in spiritual power, that made him even more upset… Those were all the factors which led to the incidences today.
Gu Xietian had finally finished the old stories. The house has returned to nothing but quietness. Gu Xijiu took a sip of water and remained silent.
Gu Xietian also took a sip of tea and sighed, "Xijiu, I really regret."
"Regret doing?" Gu Xijiu asked.
"I shouldn"t have neglected her... I didn"t even check on her. It was my fault to let her suffer during her pregnancy…"
Gu Xijiu smiled and asked sarcastically, "Only those?"
Gu Xietian was stunned, "Of course, there are much more… The thing I regret the most was what I"ve said to her on the day she jumped off the cliff. I shouldn"t have forced her to make a decision and I even said I"ll divorce her! In fact, she has always been my only wife in my heart. I"ve never thought of making her, my mistress… I just wanted to threaten her, I was scared that she didn"t want me anymore…" His voice started to tremble.
Gu Xijiu couldn"t be bothered to smile, so she handed the teacup to Gu Xietian, "General Gu, it"s rather late. Please, go back and rest after finis.h.i.+ng the tea. Don"t miss my mother anymore, there are many better choices out there - all very gentle and obedient. You don"t have to miss her.. leave her alone. I"m sure she wouldn"t want you to miss her anymore if she knew about this."
That was really straightforward. Gu Xietien was stunned, "Xijiu… You really think I"m wrong? But… she has done something wrong, too. If she didn"t try to run away with her disciple…"
"Indeed! She has her own faults! Gu Xijiu interrupted and said, "Her fault for trusting someone blindly and falling in love with a man who didn"t deserve her!"
Gu Xietian was speechless.
He looked pale and said, "Xijiu, how… how could you criticize your father this way? I…"
"I thought you were seeking my opinion? This is my opinion!
Honestly, General Gu, you shouldn"t cry in front of my mother"s grave anymore. Don"t mess up her route to reincarnation. Alright, that"s all I want to say.
You should get some rest also, I really need to sleep soon."
Gu Xietian had ran out of words.
His daughter was really too good at criticism and did not give him room to argue.
He almost hit the table as he was mad. However, he managed to control his emotions when he saw Gu Xijiu"s cold gaze, "Xijiu, I know I haven"t treated you well in the last few years and caused you to hate me, but I"m trying to improve… You shouldn"t criticize me based on your own emotion. Although I feel guilty and sorry for your mother, I haven"t forgotten about her. I"d like her to be reincarnated. I"d definitely treat her as nice as I can no matter what. I"ll never let her down anymore, as she is still my official wife…"
Gu Xijiu could not contain her laughed. She laughed sarcastically, "Do you really think she would die for the t.i.tle of your official wife?
Forget it, you are totally clueless about your mistakes! Just leave me alone, I"m very sleepy."
She has been trying to kick him out several times, but Gu Xietian still wanted to argue with her. However, he gave up as he knew she was really tired and was going to the Dark Forest six months later.
