Chapter 347 You Should Die and Bury Your Child
Han Lingcui's voice remained calm, but beneath that calmness lay an overwhelming wave of pain and resentment.
"Before he had the chance to see the world, he...died. He died after that cold, rainy night, before I lost my memory."
"No...impossible..." Xuanyuan Ge shook his head violently, his eyes full of bloodshot.
"You lied to me! You must be lying to me! How could he die? Tell me, how could he die?!"
He couldn't accept the fact that the child he had never met was just... gone?
Was it because he had abandoned her? Was it because he was so ruthless?
If it weren't for him, Lingcui wouldn't have left pregnant. If it weren't for him, the child wouldn't have...
Huge sorrow and regret instantly overwhelmed Xuanyuan Pavilion.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.
He looked at Han Lingcui, his eyes filled with pain and pleading.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's my fault. I hurt him... Please tell me, what happened? Please tell me..."
Han Lingcui looked at his painful appearance, without a trace of pleasure in his heart, only endless sadness.
She remembered that blurry rainy night when she had unbearable abdominal pain and collapsed on the side of the road. When she woke up, she was in a strange hospital and had lost all her memories, including the baby in her belly.
Later, she was told that the baby could not be saved.
During those days, she lived like a wandering soul, feeling that there was nothing left to linger for in this world.
If she hadn't lost her memory abroad, she would have died long ago.
"What happened?" Han Lingcui's voice was trembling, but still cold.
"Does it matter what happened? What matters is that he died because of you, Xuanyuan Pavilion! Because of your indifference, your selfishness, and your abandonment!"
Her emotions finally began to get agitated, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Do you know how I lived during those years when I lost my memory? I lived like a fool, not knowing who I was or where I came from. Yet, there was always a place in my heart that was empty and aching. It wasn't until I regained my memory that I realized where that pain came from! It was you! It was you, Xuanyuan Pavilion, who destroyed everything for me!"
Xuanyuan Ge was hurt all over by her words. He took a step forward, wanting to hug her and share her pain.
"Lingling, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... I know I was wrong. You can hit me, scold me, anything is fine, as long as you can forgive me... Please, forgive me..."
His voice was filled with humble pleading, a gesture that the high-ranking President Xuanyuan had never used before.
He was willing to give anything, as long as it could make her feel better, as long as... he could make up for the child he had never met.
"Forgive you?"
Han Lingcui pushed him away abruptly, her eyes piercing with coldness. "Xuanyuange, do you think this can be forgiven? My child is dead, my life has been ruined by you. Can a simple 'I'm sorry' or 'please forgive me' erase all this?"
She stared at him intently, as if trying to see through his soul.
"I'm telling you, it's impossible! I, Han Lingcui, crawled back from hell not to hear you say sorry, nor to have you falsely plead for forgiveness!"
Xuanyuan Ge looked at the resolute, almost destructive light in her eyes, and a strong fear rose in his heart.
"Lingling, what...what do you want?"
Han Lingcui took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and stated the ultimate purpose of her trip:
"I want you to pay."
"What's the price?"
Xuanyuan Pavilion asked, he was willing to pay any material price, as long as he could...
The corners of Han Lingcui's mouth slowly curled up into a sad smile, and that smile was full of determination to die together.
"I want you to pay back what you owe me and your children bit by bit."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable power. "Xuanyuan Ge, don't you care very much about your Xuanyuan Group? Don't you care very much about your status and wealth? Don't you... still care about me?"
Xuanyuan Ge's heart sank suddenly. He had a premonition of something and his face turned even paler.
"I want you to lose everything you care about most."
Han Lingcui's eyes grew brighter and brighter, a light that was determined to burn himself to drag the other person into hell. "Including... your life."
"Lingling! You..." Xuanyuan Ge looked at her in shock, unable to believe his ears.
"I want you to be buried with me for our child."
Han Lingcui's voice calmed down, yet held a chilling firmness. "This way, you can truly understand what I've lost and what you owe me."
perish together?
Xuanyuan Ge was completely stunned.
He looked at the woman in front of him who once loved him deeply, but now she was speaking the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.
There was no warmth in her eyes, only the flame of revenge and the determination to destroy.
"Lingling, don't do this..." Xuanyuan Ge's voice was filled with pain and despair.
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... I'll give you whatever you want. I'll give you Xuanyuan Group, I'll give you everything I have. Please, don't do anything stupid..."
He tried to grab her hand, but she shook it off.
"Give me?"
Han Lingcui laughed so hard that tears came out.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, do you think I still care about those things? The moment my child died, when I lost my memory and lived like a zombie, everything I cared about was already dead!"
Her emotions were stirred up again, and the pain, resentment, longing and despair that had been accumulated for many years burst out at this moment.
"Do you know how painful it was after I regained my memory? All I could see was the unbearable abdominal pain I had that year, and all of it was... the appearance of my imagined child! I hate you! I hate myself! I hate this world!"
"So, you must pay the price." Her eyes became cold and firm again. "You and I will go to hell together. This is fair."
Xuanyuan Ge looked at her, seeing the fire of destruction burning in her eyes, he knew that she was serious.
She wasn't joking, nor was she threatening.
She really... wanted to die with him.
He was overwhelmed by great grief and powerlessness.
He had lost his child, and now he was going to lose her again, and in such a tragic way. All of this was because of the wrong choice he had made back then.
"Lingling..." His voice was choked, and he couldn't help but let his tears fall. This man who was so powerful in the business world now looked like a helpless child.
"I'm sorry... I'm really... I'm sorry..."
Apart from this pale apology, he didn't know what else to say.
