Hearing Xia Cha’s words, Huo Heng tightened his grip on Xia Cha’s hand.
He had accidentally seen her diary before.
Thinking of what he had done and the pain she had suffered, he felt terrible.
“I’m sorry, Camellia.”
When Xia Cha regained her memories and recalled what happened before, she was indeed angry. She felt that he should not have tried to capture her heart while she had lost her memories.
But later she also understood that after dying once, he had changed as well. Why should she continue to live in the pain of the past?
“You don’t have to apologize to me again. Since I agreed to be with you, I won’t rake up the past and will only look forward.”
Xia Cha looked at the guilt and self-blame in the man’s eyes and she held his hand. “My sister and the rest might not be able to accept you for a while. After all, you were really a bastard in the past, but I will convince them.”
Huo Heng raised his slender fingers and gently scratched the tip of Xia Cha’s nose. “I will definitely bear it.”
Xia Cha asked Huo Heng to send her to school.
But she stopped when she was a few hundred meters away from the school gate.
“Let’s meet after I talk to my sister.”
Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha with a deep gaze and nodded. “Okay.”
Huo Heng only turned the car after Xia Cha had left.
Xia Cha saw the silver Bentley the moment she arrived at the school gate.
Xia Cha lowered her eyes and ran over.
After pulling open the front passenger door, Xia Cha looked at the calm woman in the driver’s seat and said softly, “Sister.”
Xia Yanran hummed as she started the engine and left.
Along the way, Xia Yanran was unusually silent.
Xia Yanran rarely got angry at Xia Cha. She only had one younger sister who had experienced life and death, so she loved her deeply.
This time, her dark expression and silence meant that she was really angry.
Xia Cha placed her hands on her knees and twisted her fingers together uneasily.
When she was still Xia Tang, she had been brought up by her siblings.
Although they had always doted on her, she was still a little afraid when they got angry.
Xia Yanran drove into the wealthy district and stopped at the gate of the villa.
Xia Cha followed Xia Yanran into the villa obediently.
Xia Yanran waved the servant away and took out a diary from her bag.
“Sister, do you already know about everything? This all happened in the past. I’ve already let it go.”
Xia Yanran pursed her lips tightly as her eyes turned red.
After reading the contents of the diary, she was angry and heartbroken.
She was furious at Huo Ze for treating her younger sister like that.
Her heart ached at the heavy blows her sister had suffered.
She did not know how her sister had gotten through it. No matter which woman it was, that kind of hurt would be lethal.
But she had not said anything to her or Junyuan, but instead bore it alone.
Indeed, all of this had passed. She was Xia Cha now, but she had miscarried her baby again after she came to the capital.
Although she didn’t say whom the child belonged to, it was obvious to her that her sister had been with Huo Heng before.
That man hurt her sister again and again!
Before Xia Yanran went to Capital University, she had asked around and heard that he had gone to find her and they seemed to be making up.
Xia Yanran did not want to object to Xia Cha’s feelings, but Huo Heng had caused so much harm to her sister. As her sister, she really rejoice over it.
Xia Yanran said nothing and tears fell from her red eyes.
Xia Cha’s heart ached when she saw Xia Yanran crying.
Her sister was now a strong woman in the business industry and it was rare for anything to affect her emotions.
All these years, she was her sister’s only weakness.
Xia Cha crouched down beside Xia Yanran and held her hand, saying with red eyes, “Sister, I’m sorry. I always make you sad. I’ll be obedient in the future, okay?”
Xia Yanran looked at Xia Cha’s obedient and pitiful appearance and could not bear to scold or hit her. She sighed. “Are you with Huo Heng?”
“I…”
“I’ll call your counsellor later. From today onwards, you’ll stay at home. The chauffeur will send you to school and you’re not allowed to meet him again.”
“Sister, he’s already different. He’s not the Huo Ze from the past. I’ve already forgiven him…”
“You can forgive him, but as your older sister, I cannot forgive him. If you don’t listen to me, I won’t force you.” Xia Yanran got up and went upstairs.
Xia Cha hurriedly pulled Xia Yanran back and bit her lip. “Sister, don’t be angry. I’ll listen to you.”
Xia Yanran reached out her hand to Xia Cha. “Give me your phone.”
“Sister…” Seeing Xia Yanran’s expression, Xia Cha had no choice but to hand her phone to her.
…
That night.
Xiao Yi came back from the company and when he learned that Xia Yanran had not eaten dinner, he went to the bedroom to look for her.
Xiao Yi was now the richest man in the capital. After spending time in the mall all year round, he no longer had the aura of the mafia from before and his handsome face had become more mature and charming. He undid his tie and the first three buttons of his black shirt. Walking up to Xia Yanran, who was standing in front of the window, he hugged her with his strong arms.
Very quickly, his hands were pulled away by Xia Yanran.
“I want to be alone.”
Xiao Yi’s large hand pressed on Xia Yanran’s shoulder, forcing her to turn around.
Seeing that her eyes were red and she looked like she had cried, he bent slightly. “Did my fairy suffer?”
“Xiao Yi, I want to be alone.”
The moment she finished speaking, the man wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up slightly before she was placed on the window sill.
The man’s hand was still on her waist. Although she had two children, she was still very thin. Her waist was accentuated by Xiao Yi’s tight grip. Their eyes met as he said softly, “Is it because Xiao Cha was hurt once and got together with the man who hurt her? That Huo Heng guy, right? I’ll bring someone to beat him up personally later and make sure he can’t get out of bed for half a month.”
Xia Yanran punched the man’s firm chest. “How old are you? Why do you still talk about killing people? I’m just angry at myself for not taking good care and caring for Tangtang back then.”
Xiao Yi raised his hand and wiped Xia Yanran’s tears away with his rough fingers. “If you continue to blame yourself, it will only make Xiaocha sadder.”
“She’s an adult and has experienced many things. Since she still chose to be with Huo Heng, it means that Huo Heng has some merits that can move her.”
Xia Yanran leaned her face against Xiao Yi’s shoulder and sighed slightly. “I know Huo Heng is an outstanding man. I can’t really stop Cha Cha from being with him. I’m not the kind of parent who will break up lovers. I know how difficult it is for lovers to be together. I just think of what has happened to Cha Cha and can’t get over the hurdle in my heart.”
“Besides, I have to test Huo Heng and see if he can make Cha Cha happy.”
