Chapter 453: If you miss it, you can never get it back
Old Xiao looked at the calm Shen Wan, the color on his face instantly faded, his eyes widened, full of disbelief.
"Xiao Wan, did Grandpa hear me right?"
His voice trembled, as if he was frightened out of his body.
"What do you mean you killed him?"
"What did you do to your second uncle?"
Before Shen Wan had time to speak, Shen Qianxue smiled with a gloating look on her face and said, “Grandpa Xiao, you must not know yet, your son Xiao Wenli has disappeared for so long because Shen Wan shattered his soul, and his life or death is still unknown!”
Old Xiao glared at Shen Qianxue angrily, his eyes like knives.
"Shut up! I don't need to know the ins and outs of things from outsiders. I only believe Xiao Wan!"
He looked at Shen Wan anxiously again, his eyes full of unwillingness to believe: “Xiao Wan, tell grandpa, is it your second uncle who bullied you?”
"You just hurt him in a fit of rage?"
Shen Wan's expression remained calm, as peaceful as a bottomless cold pond.
"Master Xiao, I have made it very clear that I was going to kill your son, but he is lucky and the Hua Clan is protecting him."
"I don't deny it, nor do I make excuses. I killed him. This is a fact."
"Even if I kill your son, are you still willing to let me return to the Xiao family?"
Shen Wan finished speaking, staring straight at him, without a trace of retreat in his eyes.
Mr. Xiao was silent. In that moment of silence, it seemed as if time had frozen.
It was this moment of silence that caused the warmth that had just ignited in Shen Wan's heart to shatter like a bubble in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
Old Xiao noticed the disappearance of emotion in her eyes, and suddenly panicked, like a helpless child, and hurriedly explained: "Xiao Wan! Grandpa believes that you would not kill for no reason. It must be your second uncle who hurt you first. We are all family. If there is any misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Everything will be fine after talking it out."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Wan's mouth, but that smile was filled with endless loneliness: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for not despising me when you learned about my past experience. I believe that your affection for me is just like that of my biological mother, and you both hope that I can live a good life."
"It's just that the grudge between me and the Xiao family is too deep, and it is destined to be impossible to resolve the past grievances. It is even more impossible for me to return to the Xiao family."
Old Xiao heard the determination in her words, and he was so anxious that tears streamed down his face. He waved his hands helplessly in the air, trying to grab something.
"Xiao Wan! You have the blood of my Xiao family flowing in your body. Grandpa will never let you wander around outside again."
"Your mother is my most beloved little daughter. I spoiled her since she was a child, which is why she was easily deceived by Shen Jianming and even turned against me, her father, and ran away from home..."
"Over the past few decades, I have blamed her for abandoning her parents for a man with no future. I once declared that I would no longer have this daughter. But in my heart, I love her."
"I never thought that your mother would be killed by a villain. It's been more than ten years. You were forced to live in the countryside and suffer for more than ten years."
"Xiao Wan, Grandpa really knows he was wrong!"
"No matter what you have done, grandpa just hopes you can return to the Xiao family."
Old Xiao cried with tears all over his face, his voice choked with sobs: "This is your mother's last wish, and it is also grandpa's greatest wish in this life!"
Everyone present was moved, but Shen Wan remained calm and just sighed softly.
"You want me to go back now because you feel guilty towards my biological mother. If you saw your son's miserable condition with your own eyes, would you really not blame me at all?"
"Mr. Xiao, although I have the blood of the Xiao family, I have never lived with you. Your feelings for me are just due to your guilt towards my biological mother."
When Mr. Xiao heard this, his eyes became redder.
He took two steps forward and stretched out his trembling hand to grab her, but stopped in mid-air.
"Xiao Wan, that's not true! Grandpa's feelings for you are not only filled with guilt towards your mother, but also the debt I owe you over the years. Grandpa wants to make it up to you."
Shen Wan's expression remained calm, and there was not much emotion in his voice, which was so light that it made people's heart palpitate.
"Some things, once lost, can never be recovered."
When she desperately longed for it, no one wanted her and everyone abandoned her.
Now that she doesn't need it anymore, everyone is willing to give it all to her.
Shen Changfeng, who was standing next to him, burst into tears when he heard this.
Xiaowu is right. If you miss something, you can never get it back...
If time could go back, he would do everything he could to protect her even at the cost of his own life.
Old Xiao looked as if he had aged ten years. He looked at her helplessly and said in an almost pleading tone, "Grandpa knows that the past cannot be changed. Xiao Wan, can you give Grandpa a chance to make it up to you?"
Shen Wan was silent for a moment, and then said, "If Mr. Xiao treats me sincerely and no longer binds me by blood from now on, perhaps I can change my mind about you and try to get along with you."
Mr. Xiao was immediately overjoyed, and nodded quickly with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, Grandpa understands!"
"As long as you are willing to interact with grandpa, grandpa will be satisfied, but no matter what time, the door of the Xiao family will always be open to you!"
Shen Wan nodded and said nothing more.
She knew in her heart that her relationship with the Xiao family would not change completely because of Old Man Xiao.
None of the four sons of the Xiao family welcomed her back.
Xiao Wenli even wanted to kill her.
The reason why she softened her attitude was that she felt a little sorry for Mr. Xiao begging her for mercy.
There is no more.
When Shen Qianxue saw this scene, jealousy and resentment occupied her entire heart.
Chen Wan's ability in metaphysics was enough to give her a headache. Now with the huge influence of the Xiao family, she was afraid that she would never be able to catch up with Chen Wan in the future...
"Xiaowu!"
When Shen Wan was about to leave, Shen Changfeng suddenly called her.
Chen Wan was indifferent: "Why, do you want to blame me?"
Shen Changfeng's eyes were red, and he shook his head: "Xiaowu, how can Big Brother have the face to blame you... The Shen family has become what it is now, it's all our own fault."
"Brother just wants to say that without the stumbling block of the Shen family, you will definitely be fine in the future..."
Shen Changfeng's face was full of regret: "Brother has always wanted to say to you in person again, I'm sorry!"
"When we were at the research institute, Big Brother abandoned you. Big Brother no longer has any right to appear in front of you."
"I will never appear in front of you again, and I will never use family affection to kidnap you..."
Chen Wan turned his back to him and said indifferently, "It's good that you know."
Shen Luoyu rushed over when she saw her leaving, and wanted to say something, but was grabbed by Shen Changfeng.
The brothers watched Shen Wan leave.
Shen Luoyu shouted unwillingly: “Brother, why are you stopping me!”
"You're fine after selling the land, but it's different for me. Xiaowu can tell fortunes. I want her to help me calculate when this incident will be over and whether it will affect my future career."
