Chapter Forty-Eight: Parental Heart
This is a father's most helpless but most sincere expectation for his daughter.
From this sentence, Ye Huang felt that Uncle Xia Jiang actually cared about Xia Lin very much, but for some reason, in Xia Lin's eyes, Uncle Xia Jiang became a hateful father who made her experience a painful childhood.
"Tell me what Charlene told you. Xia Jiang picked up the teapot on the desk and poured a cup for Ye Huang.
Ye Huang thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell Xia Jiang everything that Xia Lin told her.
After listening to Ye Huang's story, the tired expression on Xia Jiang's wrinkled face became even more profound, and he took a sip of tea, and sighed after putting down the teacup.
"Uncle Xia Jiang, I really don't understand. Ye Huang said: "I can feel it, you obviously care about Charlene, but why do you want to treat her like that?"
Xia Jiang showed a bitter smile and said, "You like to listen to stories as much as your master. I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep tonight, so I'll tell you the story. ”
"It was twenty-three years ago, when Mrs. gave birth to Charlene Xia Fei and the two of them, the Xia family was experiencing a crisis that could be said to be a catastrophe, and nearly half of the Xia family's clansmen were killed and injured in that crisis. Madame is about to give birth at such a critical moment, which is undoubtedly adding to the snow, in order to protect the safety of their mother and son, I took the most elite warriors of the Xia family to escort their mother and son to a safe place.
"Along the way, the chasing soldiers continued, and those people used extremely bad methods, not to mention the hidden weapons they used, and they were also quenched with poison, and my legs were affected at that time. In the end, the pursuers drove us into a corner, and it was at this time that we met our brother-in-law. ”
"Master!?" Ye Huang was a little surprised.
"At that time, the righteous brother was traveling down the mountain, and he was still holding a child in his arms, and when he saw that we were being chased and killed, the righteous brother took action and helped us drive away all the pursuers. At this time, the lady's amniotic water had broken, and the righteous brother rolled up his sleeves to deliver them. ”
I didn't expect Master to have this ability, but the baby that Master was holding in his arms at that time was probably Senior Brother Kuzen, right? Senior Brother Kuzen was also picked up by Master from outside, and he was exactly 23 years old this year. While listening, Ye Huang kept speculating in his heart.
Soon Xia Fei was born, but Charlene did not move. At this time, I learned that Mrs. She had already been poisoned by the enemy, and that kind of venom can make people bleed non-stop, and the hemorrhage during childbirth can't be stopped!"
Ye Huang frowned, the poison that made people bleed endlessly? Isn't this the same as the toxin in the body of that group of robbers?
"I'll discuss this with Uncle Xia Jiang later, and I'll listen to him for now. Ye Huang said in his heart.
"The righteous brother said that he has a way to dissolve the toxin, but in this way, the child in Madame's womb will definitely die, but if he does not detoxify it immediately, Madame will die. Whether it should be big or small, my brother asked me at the time. I glanced at Xia Fei, who was lying on the side, and told my brother that I wanted to keep my wife. I already had a daughter, and I was thinking about exchanging the life of another daughter for my wife's.
However, Madame refused to allow her brother to detoxify her, and she did her best to give birth to Charlene. Because of excessive bleeding, after giving birth to Charlene, Mrs. had no breath, and before leaving, she only said softly to Charlene, instead of her mother, live well.
"Charlene and Xia Fei gradually grew up, Xia Fei inherited her mother's ice and snow intelligence, showing wisdom beyond ordinary people, and Charlene inherited her mother's character, every move became more and more like Mrs., sometimes, I even feel that Charlene is the continuation of Mrs. life. But because I had chosen to abandon Charlene, the guilt in my heart made me unable to look at her directly, and I even had nightmares in which Charlene, who was the size of a baby, asked me why I abandoned her at that time.
"As the two of them grew older, the more painful the torture became. Therefore, when facing Charlene, my attitude is always in an anomaly. Until ten years ago, I felt that this guilt had turned into my inner demons, and in order to solve them, I went to Shaolin Temple, and with the help of my brother-in-law, I resolved my inner demons. When I got my mind right, I was going to make up for my indifference to Charlene, but I found that she had changed as a person, messing around all day long, and not doing her job. ”
Hearing this, Ye Huang finally understood the whole story.
The accumulated contradictions between Charlene and her father can no longer be summed up by misunderstandings, the mistakes of Xia Jiang's uncle when he was young, Charlene's rebellion when she was young, and the life of Charlene's mother who died in order to give birth to her.
The fact that the father and daughter have come to this point seems so reasonable at this moment.
In the process of telling this story, Xia Jiang's expression was indifferent, as if the whole incident had nothing to do with him. After finishing speaking, Xia Jiang took another sip of water and said, "Virtuous nephew, now you always know the cause and effect." ”
Ye Huang nodded silently.
"It's okay if Charlene left the Xia family, since the research and development of the wall-breaking gene, the Xia family has been mired in the quagmire, and being able to let Charlene leave this whirlpool before it completely falls can be regarded as my last explanation to my wife. ”
Reconciling the father and daughter of the Xia family is no longer within Ye Huang's consideration, and things that people can't reach, such as this matter, are beyond Ye Huang's ability.
"Nephew, I called you over, in fact, in addition to chatting with you, there is one more thing to ask you. Xia Jiang said suddenly.
"Uncle has something to say. ”
"I made a gesture of breaking off Charlene just to prevent anyone from getting involved in Charlene's affairs anymore, so I can't give Charlene any help, as I said she said, even if she is so poor that she wants to sell herself, I can't care. ”
"What about in the dark?"
Xia Jiang showed a wry smile, stood up and walked in front of Ye Huang, reached out and touched his bald head and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are still too young, do you think that the inside of the Xia family is really monolithic and unanimously outward?"
Ye Huang suddenly realized, could it be that the Xia family still has internal ghosts?! Yes, it must be so, otherwise how could the group of robbers quietly kidnap Xia Lin.
If Xia Jiang secretly gave Charlene any help, she would be discovered by the inner ghost, and in this case, it would not be considered to let Charlene leave the quagmire at all, but only send her from one dangerous place to another.
Uncle Xia Jiang is not wrong, he still has too little experience, and he is not so thoughtful when thinking about things.
"The only person I can trust now is you, nephew, please help me protect Charlene secretly!"
