Chapter 206: Not Worthy of Love
Gao Shuhua raised her hands and said weakly, "No, you came at the right time... I have you sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren in my life... I am content... I am not too thin and I am not young anymore... You all should not be too sad... I am also happy to die..."
Although Gao Shuhua said this, Jiang Xianli still burst into tears.
Her mother never loved her since she was a child. To her, Gao Shuhua was not only her mother-in-law and mother, but also a noble person.
It can be said that all the wealth and happiness in her life were given to her by her.
Since she married into the Xie family, she knew what it felt like to be loved, pampered and loved.
"Pear...Pear..."
Gao Shuhua called her gently, and she quickly held her hand tightly.
"Mom..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't hold back his grief, tears welled up in his eyes, "Mom... wuwuwu... you were sick, why didn't you tell me?... I should have stayed with you more... Mom..."
Gao Shuhua was on her deathbed, her breath was weak, but her cloudy eyes still revealed her concern and kindness for Jiang Xianli.
"Good girl, don't cry... don't cry..."
But Jiang Xianli's tears still couldn't stop flowing. She sniffed and tried hard to hold them back.
I even tried to force out a smile, "Well, Mom, I won't cry."
"Don't worry, Mom is a good person and has done a lot of good things... After Mom dies, she won't go to hell to suffer. Mom will definitely... go to heaven to enjoy happiness..."
Jiang Xianli nodded, "Yeah, yes."
At night, everyone wanted to stay by the old lady's bedside, but she felt sorry for her children and grandchildren, so she only allowed Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli to stay there, and said that Xie Jingfeng and his wife would stay there tomorrow night.
After daybreak, when Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli were about to go to rest, the housekeeper came to report.
"Fourth Master, Fourth Madam, thank you...thank you for letting the old master come. He said he wanted to see the old lady."
When Xie Jingcheng was about to refuse, Gao Shuhua said, "Let him come."
After a while, Xie Xiang'an came over tremblingly. He had white hair, tattered clothes, a hunched body, and unsteady steps, as if he had to use all his strength to take every step.
Xie Jingcheng stared at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
He hasn't seen Xie Xiang'an for more than ten years.
Once, in his young heart, his father was the mountain that would never collapse. No matter what kind of storm he encountered, as long as his father was there, the sky would not fall.
And now the old man standing in front of him had a wrinkled and haggard face, sunken eye sockets, and bloodshot, dull and lifeless eyes.
He glanced at Xie Jingcheng cautiously, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, it all became two words, "Jingcheng."
Over the years, he often saw his youngest son, whom he had once least favored, in newspapers and on TV.
His son is one of the best entrepreneurs in the country, but he is as poor as a stray dog, so he doesn't even have the confidence to talk to his son.
Xie Jingcheng said nothing, turned around, took Jiang Xianli by the hand and left, but before leaving he told the servant to keep an eye on the old lady.
Xie Xiang'an looked at his back, sighed deeply in his heart, and couldn't help shedding tears of regret.
He slowly stepped into the bedroom and saw Gao Shuhua, the once strong woman, now lying on the bed dying, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Shuhua..."
He called her softly, as gently as when he first met her.
"You're here."
Gao Shuhua's voice was emotionless, as if she had met an acquaintance or neighbor whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Xie Xiang'an staggered and suddenly knelt in front of her bed.
"Shuhua, I came here just to say sorry to you. It was all my fault back then. I failed you."
All these years, he lived alone in that small house.
Xie Jingci went to the Middle East to develop his business a few years ago and has now become a global oil tycoon.
But apart from putting 10,000 yuan into his card every month for living expenses, he never came to see him.
There has been no news of his daughter Xie Jingxi for twenty or thirty years.
He really regretted it day and night. If he had not cheated on his wife, how happy his family would have been.
He has many children and grandchildren, and is rich and powerful.
The last bit of light in Gao Shuhua's eyes suddenly faded away.
"I...I don't care anymore...I just hope that we will never see each other again in this life."
She stared at the ceiling, her voice getting weaker and weaker... until she said the last word, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"Shuhua..."
Xie Xiangan screamed heartbreakingly: "Shuhua!"
Hearing the sound, Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli also hurried into the house.
"Mom..."
"Mom!!!"
Xie Jingcheng knelt on the ground, his eyes blurred by tears.
"Mom, have a pleasant journey..."
…
Four years later, in 2016.
Although it is winter, the sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.
Xie Xingyi came out of the school library holding a book and walked towards the dormitory in a good mood.
Suddenly, with a casual glance, she saw a young couple kissing on the lawn not far away.
But why do those two people seem familiar?
She walked closer, and suddenly it was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering her world.
She couldn't believe her eyes. The familiar figure was her boyfriend Zhou He, and the woman in his arms was her classmate Lin Xiaoyi.
Lin Xiaoyi likes Zhou He, and she's so high-profile that she wants the whole world to know. But she has been pursuing Zhou He for more than a year, and Zhou He has never even looked at her. How come the two of them are hugging each other and kissing in public now?
Anger instantly surged in her heart, and Xie Xingyi rushed over without hesitation, grabbed Zhou He's hair, and her eyes were blazing.
"Zhou He, Lin Xiaoyi, what are you doing?"
A flash of panic crossed Zhou He's face, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.
He shook off Xie Xingyi and said disdainfully, "Why can't you see it?"
Xie Xingyi was raised by Qin Xuan and Lan Mo, and was never someone who was easily bullied.
She raised her hand and slapped Zhou He on the face, "You are my boyfriend, we haven't broken up yet, and you dare to kiss someone else. Do you think I, Xie Xingyi, am so easy to fool?"
Zhou He raised his head, "Then I declare that from this moment on we are breaking up. You are a 24-year-old woman who even lets others kiss you on the lips when you are in love. You are not worthy of being in love at all."
Xie Xingyi was stunned. How come Zhou He, who had always been gentle and polite, suddenly seemed like a different person?
How can you say such a thing?
"Zhou Hyuk, is this your true self? You were just acting in front of me before?"
Fortunately, she only dated Zhou He for a month.
"Yes, I liked you before, and I was willing to accommodate you and be considerate of you. But now the person I like is Xiaoyi, so naturally I won't be polite to you anymore."
"Oh... OK, that's great. Since you're honest and straightforward, I won't make things difficult for you. I'm just a little curious. Lin Xiaoyi has been pursuing you for so long, but you didn't agree. Why do you suddenly like him again now?"
Before, Zhou He’s attitude towards Lin Xiaoyi was not just a simple rejection, it was an expression of disgust.
Before Zhou He could say anything, Lin Xiaoyi crossed her arms over her chest and said proudly, "Because my father is the manager of the HR department of the Song Group, and we are about to graduate from graduate school, my father will directly arrange for Zhou He and I to join the Song Group next semester. The salary is high, the benefits are good, and the monthly salary is at least 20,000 to 30,000.
Can a girl like you from an ordinary family arrange a job for Zhou He? Haha...Xie Xingyi, you are useless except for your good looks.
Zhou He said that he was just playing around before, but you still don't understand. Only someone like me with status and background is the one he really wants to marry."
"Haha..." Xie Xingyi couldn't help laughing, "Arrange for you to work at the Song Corporation? With just one word from me, no company in Kyoto or even the whole country would dare to hire you two!"
Zhou He and Lin Xiaoyi looked at each other and then laughed "Hahaha..."
Lin Xiaoyi looked at Xie Xingyi with contempt, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Xie Xingyi, Xie Xingyi, why don't you look in the mirror to see how much you weigh? You don't even want five dollars for all this street vendor stuff on your body?
You must have gone insane, talking nonsense here!
I tell you, Zhou He is mine now. You, a poor fellow, are not even worthy of carrying our shoes in the future! Get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself here."
Zhou He even echoed, his face full of disgust, "Xie Xingyi, we are all adults now, let's part ways in peace. I'm already with Xiaoyi, no matter how much you pester me, I won't even look at you again.
Stop being a clown here. The Song Group is holding its annual meeting next week, and Xiaoyi's father will arrange for Xiaoyi and I to go there. The Song Group is one of the top five groups in the country. From now on, we will have a long way to go, and you and I will no longer be from the same world."
Xie Xingyi smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish you all a bright future and great success."
Having said that, she turned and left.
In order to protect the three siblings, her father forbade any media exposure of them.
So apart from those who knew her, no one knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
Moreover, her mother stipulated that she and her brothers were not allowed to wear luxury goods until they graduated.
Unexpectedly, because of this, Zhou He thought she was a child from a poor family, dumped her and hooked up with the daughter of a senior executive of the Song Group.
It's really enough to make people laugh out loud when you say it out loud.
…
Xie Xingyi did not return to the dormitory, but went straight home. But before going home, he made a detour and went to Lan Mo's house.
It was evening and Lan Mo was feeding parrots in the yard.
Suddenly, the parrot shouted: "Fairy, fairy, the fairy is coming..."
Lan Mo looked up and saw Xie Xingyi.
Surprised, "Oh, today is not the weekend, Yiyi, why are you back?"
Xie Xingyi walked over and gave her a hug, "I missed you."
Then she went to feed the parrot as well.
"Little fairy, hehe, little fairy!"
Xie Xingyi was originally quite depressed, but he suddenly became cheerful.
"Hahaha...Aunt Momo, you're almost a spirit."
"Isn't it a spirit? Not only can it praise people, but it can also distinguish people. When it sees you, it calls you little fairy. When it sees your sister Yanyan, it calls you big fairy. When it sees your mother, it calls you old fairy. When it sees your aunt Xuanxuan, it calls you female demon. When it sees me, it calls me: Mom."
"Hahaha……"
Xie Xingyi laughed again, because her Aunt Xuanxuan would poke the parrot every time she came, and sometimes the two would even curse at each other.
Her Aunt Xuanxuan, it was the woman who caused the death of the teenager!
Not long after, Lan Jinyan came back from get off work.
"Hey, Yi Yi, why are you here?"
Xie Xingyi ran over again and hugged her, "I missed you."
As she spoke, she rubbed her face against Lan Jinyan's shoulder, "Sister Yanyan is the most beautiful, the best, and loves me the most."
Lan Jinyan patted her head lovingly, "Do you want to ask me for something?"
"Hehe, I've been discovered, but I'm not that poor. I heard your company is going to hold an annual meeting, and I want to go. Can you give me an invitation?"
"If you want to go out and play, I can just go with you, or ask my assistant to pick you up at the door. What invitation do you need?"
His father is the chairman of the group, and she is now the president of the group.
Xie Xingyi pouted, "No, I was fooled and humiliated by a scumbag and a bitch today. I can't swallow this. I want to play a trick on them too."
Lan Jinyan's face froze. "Were you humiliated by someone from our company? Tell me who it was and I'll help you get revenge."
"It's not your company yet. I'll ask you for help when the time comes. Just give me an invitation first."
"Okay, I don't have this thing. I'll have my assistant deliver it to your school tomorrow at noon."
"good."
Lan Jinyan smiled and said, "You can just make a phone call for such a small matter, but you asked our little princess to come here in person."
"Hehe, I really miss you and Aunt Momo, hehe."
Lan Mo smiled and said, "Come on, stop being so rude. You haven't gone home yet, have you? I won't keep you for dinner. Go home and be with your mother. She was still talking about you yesterday."
"Okay, goodbye Aunt Momo, Sister Yanyan."
…
Saturday night, six o'clock.
Xie Xingyi, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, blue and white sneakers, and a high ponytail, rode an electric bike to the parking lot of the Hanjue Seven-Star Hotel.
As soon as I parked the electric car, I saw Zhou He and Lin Xiaoyi getting out of a BMW carriage next to me.
Zhou He wore a suit and Lin Xiaoyi wore a tube top dress, and both of them had their hair done specially.
When they saw Xie Xingyi, they were obviously stunned.
Zhou He said with great disdain: "Xie Xingyi! We have no relationship anymore, why are you still coming here to bother me? Let me tell you, today is a very important day for me, it is the beginning of my entry into the upper class society! If you dare to ruin it for me, I will not forgive you."
“Pah!”
Xie Xingyi raised her hand and slapped him in the face, "I'm here to attend the annual meeting of the Song Group. Why would I pester you? How can a fly like you who eats shit in the toilet all day long be worthy of this?"
Thanks to my good sense, I never kissed you before. Otherwise, it would be like kissing shit. Ugh... Ugh..."
Now that I think about it, she was really blind to actually look at Zhou He. It was so disgusting, like eating a fly.
Aaaaaahhh!!!
Her lifelong reputation was stained with a stain as small as a needle tip!
