He kept saying sorry, his voice tearing up. "Ah Chuan, I was really wrong. I was so cruel to you back then. I really regret it. Let me make it up to you, okay?"
Yu Hanxiao didn't know how many years it had been since he'd cried. Ever since he was old enough to understand, his parents had repeatedly told him to fight for power, to take over the Yu family, to keep the power firmly in his own hands. He felt his heart was cold. No matter how many joys and sorrows he'd witnessed, no matter how many people wept bitterly, he felt no regrets.
He felt that crying was a sign of weakness and not suitable for him at all. As long as he was ruthless enough, there was nothing he couldn't fight for.
But he was wrong. He pushed his only flesh and blood relative far away. He could not imagine that he had been waiting for his arrival countless times in a strange country.
I am such a beast. How can I live up to his expectations?
He listened intently to the other end of the phone, expecting a positive answer. After a long time, he finally heard the young man's clear and melodious voice, but with an extreme coldness.
"Yu Hanxiao, I wish you will never find love in this life. Until you grow old, until you die."
Yu Hanxiao was completely stunned, tears streaming from his eyes. He hadn't expected his hatred to be so deep, so intense. The overwhelming hatred rushed towards him, and he seemed unable to bear it, crouching down in despair.
He wanted to say something else, but the phone was hung up. When he called back, he could only hear a mechanical female voice.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
He felt a chill in his heart, and he blocked him, as if he really wanted to never have any contact with him in this life. He gave himself the endless hatred, and then disappeared.
Yu Hanxiao knew deep down that he would never forgive himself again. He would never see a young man following him, calling out again.
"elder brother,"
"Brother, please don't send me away, okay? I really won't compete with you for the Yu family. I just want to stay here. This is my home."
At that time, he looked at his begging indifferently, completely ignoring it. He just comforted him perfunctorily with a few words, saying that he would go to see his nonsense later.
But what did he do? He even forbade his parents to visit him, just in case they would soften their hearts and take him back. He was extremely cruel to him.
At that time, he was blinded by power and only wanted to fight for power. He could not tolerate anyone, so he cruelly sent his own brother away and cruelly hired people to hunt down his cousin.
They were still teenagers then, in their teens, but they had experienced so much and witnessed their own cruelty. I think they must have been completely disappointed in themselves.
He squatted down and covered his face. He suddenly felt so regretful. He regretted doing so many stupid things. He hurt the person most important to him, and in the end, he got nothing and ended up with nothing.
Tears streamed down his fingers, and he felt the only despair he'd felt in over twenty years. His family had fallen out, his grandfather had ignored him. No one would even look at him, avoiding him like trash. They were avoiding him.
But it wasn't like this at the beginning. He used to have his grandfather's love, Achuan's trust, and even Yu Muyang treated him like a brother.
When did it start? Yes, it started when I couldn't suppress my ambition and wanted to fight for the greatest power. The people around me left me one by one, and in the end I ended up being hated by everyone.
Yu Hanxiao, you have experienced so many failures in the past twenty years!
He smiled bitterly and looked at the sky outside. The sun was shining brightly outside, but he felt hopeless.
No one will love him anymore, no one will care about him.
No more.
Achuan, you are so cruel. I will never be at peace in my life carrying your curse.
He slowly stood up and walked out. The sun was shining brightly outside, even a little dazzling. He touched his eye sockets, and the clear moisture in the corners of his eyes reminded him that all this was real.
Standing there stupidly, he suddenly didn't know where to go. He wanted to find Achuan and ask for his forgiveness. He wanted them to return to the days when they were brothers and respect each other, and to see the boy looking at him with admiration in his eyes and calling him again.
"elder brother."
It has been so many years since he last heard it that he could hardly remember it. The boy in his memory has now become his obsession, which cannot be dispelled or erased.
He suddenly looked ahead with a determined gaze, no longer as depressed as before, and a sense of determination arose in his heart.
I have to redeem myself for the consequences of what I planted many years ago, but I don’t know if that boy is still waiting for me.
He turned around and went back to the parking lot, got in the car and sped away. Passersby were stunned by the speeding car, thinking that he was risking his life.
He really didn't want to die. His mind was now filled with that young man. The guilt in his heart was about to swallow him up. He wanted to appear in front of him immediately and ask for his forgiveness.
After returning home and roughly packing a few clothes, he hurried towards the airport. When he stood at the airport gate, he suddenly felt dazed. He didn't know where he was now. Was he still in the same place as before?
He picked up his phone and wanted to call Yu Muyang to ask, but after thinking for a long time, he gave up. He felt guilty towards him, so how could he bring himself to ask? He might not even tell him.
He found the long-undialed number in his address book, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed it. The phone rang for a while and was picked up.
His voice was hoarse, as if those few words carried a thousand pounds of weight, "Grandpa."
The old man's voice was loud and clear, and he sounded like he was in much better health. He smiled and said, "It's rare that you still call me."
He paused, and said with some difficulty, "Grandpa, where is Achuan now? I want to go find him."
The old man on the other side seemed to be surprised by his question and smiled. "It's amazing that you still remember him. After all these years of ignoring me, I thought your heart was made of stone. You are even more cold and hard than I was back then, but you are being cold and hard to the wrong person. That's your own brother."
He choked up and spoke for a long time, "Yes, I am not worthy of being a human being. I have let down his trust and your careful cultivation. I have thought it through now. I want to atone for my sins and make amends."
"But Achuan is no longer the young man he was back then. He has resentment and hatred towards you now, so he may not be willing to see you."
He raised his head, his eyes fixed on the rapidly flashing subtitles in the airport. "Well, I will try my best. I know it will be difficult to gain his forgiveness, but that's what I deserve. I was too cruel to him. Now that I think about it, I can't believe that I actually did it."
The old man sighed, but finally softened his heart. "Okay, I'll tell you. I hope you're truly repentant this time. His address is: XXXX."
Yu Hanxiao was shocked, but then he smiled.
It turns out he was still there.
