Chapter 342 Xi Guiren"s Regret...
"I am sad about it too father but now I just want my step-mother to be happy," Xi Cheng said not expecting his father to say something harsh after it.
"The person who gives one pain for life doesn"t have a right to ask for it," Xi Cheng replied coldly to look into Xi Cheng"s eyes that made Xi Cheng shut his mouth."
"Honey…" Han Ju tried to speak.
"I don"t want to hear anything. Leave her alone and this is my last warning." Saying it, Xi Guiren left, leaving these two speechless.
Xi Guiren always preferred to ignore the things in the past but it was the first time he directly blamed his son for the past. Though he knew, what Xi Cheng did, he never showed it openly but this time he couldn"t control as slowly his patience was wearing with sly behavior of his son and his mistress.
Looking at the retreating back of Xi Guiren, Han Ju said, "Seems like, your father is soon going to be on their side. You should be careful son."
Xi Cheng had no expression on his face and said, "Don"t worry mother. Your son is ready for that day." He looked like had a plan in his mind as he gave out an evil grin.
"Good to know about it, son."
Xi Guiren came out of the mansion to go out. When he sat in his car, he looked sad. He closed his eyes and started to remember how things ended up like this.br>When Xi Guiren was young, he was ambitious and wanted to be a businessman. He was from one middle-cla.s.s family but he always dreamed to fly higher in life and leave his middle-cla.s.s life behind. Being a talented man, it didn"t take him much time to start his small business and to come in contact with famous businessmen.
He got in contact with Song Mingue, a famous businessman at that time and Son Meilin"s father. Song Mingue found Xi Cheng a promising young man who could be a better businessman and supported him.
At that time, after completing business management studies, Song Meilin started to help her father in business as being an only child she had to do it. Soon she came in contact with Xi Guiren through business things and both started to get attracted to each other. Xi Guiren liked her as a woman but his other intention was to get a fortune she was going to inherit in the future.
Before meeting Song Meilin, Xi Guiren was in love with Han Ju, whom he met in one pub where she worked as an attendant. Han Ju was one really pretty woman to get the attention of any man around there but she never went to anyone except for Xi Guiren.
When Xi Guireb decided to marry Song Meilin, Han Ju was already carrying their child and she didn"t want to abort it. Xi Guiren let her have a child but on the condition that he will never marry her but he will look after her and their son till the end.
Not wanting to let go of her love, Han Ju agreed to it and saw her man getting married to someone else. She was hurt but decided to stay strong for the sake of her son. Also, she knew, once Xi Guiren would be rich, she would be rich and her son"s future would be secure too.
Song Mingue opposed her daughter to get married to Xi Guiren as he somewhent got to know his true intentions but he had to give up in front of her daughter"s wish. Once they were married, everything went well till the next few years until one day Xi Guiren brought Han Ju and Xi Cheng home. At that time, Xi Guo was just five year old and Nix.x.xie was a newborn child while Xi Cheng was thirteen years old.
Song Meilin was heartbroken but accepted them out of pity. Xi Guiren never planned to bring his mistress and son to their home but he had to as Han Ju wanted their son to have a nice life while leaving with a family, especially with his father. Also, Xi Cheng was getting older and Xi Guiren didn"t like his elder son to live the life of an illegal child so he decided to make up for it by covering it with money and letting him live with him.
Xi Guiren was greedy for money and power when he decided to marry Song Meilin but he somewhere loved her too as she was his lawfully wedded wife and mother of his two kids. He never expected something like this to happen in their lives and expected to live together in peace with wife mistress and their kids. He was grateful to Song Meilin for accepting his mistress and son and wanted that mother and son to be thankful towards her but things took a different turn.
Bringing his mistress and a son to his home was the biggest mistake of his life but he couldn"t do anything but turn an blind eye to it for the sake of to protect what he had left.
Remembering all those things especially his dead son and memories he had with him, tears rolled down his cheek and he said, "I am sorry, my son. I am a bad father."
Not just to his son but he was apologetic towards Song Meilin too but he never dared to say it to her as he knew, she would never accept it. He accepted her coldness towards him as she was right. How could she forgive her husband when he was the reason that she lost her son. If he never brought his mistress in their home, things would have been different.
Also, when she came to Xi Guiren blaming Xi Cheng and his mistress for the death of her son, he had no other choice but to say he trust them even though he was aware of waht his mistress and son did.
