Because I simply love you

Chapter 255: Huo Liwei's outburst (2)



Chapter 255: Huo Liwei's outburst (2)

Every word brutally stabbed Huo Xiao Fan. She wanted to say, but at this point, everything would have seemed like a pathetic excuse.

Huo Shen tried to stop his son. He pleaded. “Liwei, please stop.”

“Why should I stop Dad? Let her listen to the truth! I knew that you loved her, and you still do, but she never looked at you.” A tear trickled down Liwei’s cheek. “She never even tried to.”

“I never cared if she didn’t treat me or love me as her son. I just wanted you to be happy…Because I know how lonely you were after Mom’s death. I thought that she could fill that emptiness in you. So, I didn’t object to your remarriage.”

He sadly laughed. “But you are still lonely. Even after twenty-two years of marriage, you are still lonely. You are still standing at the same place where you stood twenty-two years back. Nothing changed. So, why shouldn’t I hate her!? You gave nothing but love, and she did nothing but use you!”

Huo Xiao Fan felt a rock as huge as a mountain, a burden on her heart. Tears came gushing out as she realized what Liwei said was true.

Every word was accurate.

“The first ten years, she was entangled in his love, then the next twelve years for his revenge! Everything for only one person! Her love for Yu Tengfei, her revenge for Yu Tengfei! Then what about Huo Shen? What did my Dad get, Xiao Fan!?”

Huo Xiao Fan inhaled sharply.

*Slap*

Huo Shen furiously looked at Liwei. “You would never be old enough to call her just by her name. Do you get that? And loving her was my choice. She had told me not to fall in love with her, but I still did it anyway. It is not her fault.”

Huo Liwei laughed. “And do you think falling in love is in anybody’s control?”

He stayed silent.

“She doesn’t love you. Okay, I understand that. Love cannot be forced. She could have supported you as a companion. But were you not even that worth in her eyes that she could not respect the boundaries of marriage by not meeting her ex-lover? Tell me Xiao Fan, is this something too much I am asking for?”

His words were like a big slap to her face. She had indeed crossed the line by only caring about Yu Tengfei. So much that she never even glanced Huo Shen’s way, the only man who truly loved her.

A husband or wife who were still entangled in their past lover was indeed unfair to their partner.

And a man like Huo Shen didn’t deserve that.

“Even if it hurt Dad to see you with Yu Tengfei again for those seven years, he kept his promise to your Grandmother. Firstly, there was a threat of you turning suicidal again. And secondly…He was happy seeing you happy, so he didn’t utter a word. Then after Yu Tengfei’s death, your revenge gave you the will to live, so he never told you that Yu Tengfei was married, and he had indeed molested Liu Nana.”

Huo Xiao Fan blankly looked at Huo Shen.

She couldn’t believe that he suffered so much because of her, all because of her madness for Yu Tengfei.

Huo Shen loved her and, from the shadows, silently protected her from all the pain…just because she was too weak to bear it, so he bore all of it for her.

What would have he felt seeing her love a man who didn’t deserve any of it, and he who always truly loved her, never even got a glance from her…

Huo Liwei looked at his father. “And you, Dad. I know you are hurt. You are sad. You are in pain, but you are hiding it from everybody. You don’t want this woman to feel guilty for not returning your feelings, right?”

“That is enough, Liwei! I will not hear anymore!” Huo Shen was breathing hard.

“Yes, dad, it is enough. But tell this to that woman standing over there! Tell her that it is enough already how she has hurt us so much. Tell her that it is enough already how she always chose Yu Tengfei over you! Twenty-two years, and now it’s enough, Dad!” His loud voice resounded in the entire villa.

Suddenly, Huo Shen started sweating, and he felt breathless. He inhaled sharp and deep breaths. He clutched his chest and was about to fell.

“Shen!”

“Dad!”

Both exclaimed simultaneously.

Huo Liwei immediately caught him. Huo Xiao Fan also tried to support him, but Liwei harshly slapped her hand away.

“Don’t you dare touch him! After all these years, you don’t have to pretend as if you care about him. Stay away!”

She froze. She felt her chest constrict in pain. Huo Shen’s brows furrowed in restlessness, and a huge sense of guilt struck her heart.

“Butler! Call the doctor right away!”

Huo Liwei carried his father into his bedroom, and Huo Xiao Fan could do nothing but stand there and regret her choices.

Golden Sea villa.

Liu Chunhua rushed towards Nana. “Nana, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

She weakly smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Grandma Liu held her hand. “Alright, you should rest now. Don’t bother her with your questions now, Chunhua.”

Liu Chunhua wanted to talk to her, but she was right.

Liu Hai smiled and patted her head. “En. Child, you go and rest.” He shot a glance at Jinhai, and he faintly gave the nod.

They all got to know what happened in the warehouse and were shocked to know that the best friend turned out to be her half-sister. They knew how much pain would Nana be in now.

Liu Chunhua said, “I will make a sumptuous dinner for you and the twins. I will start with the preparations right now!”

The twins were also not in the mood but nodded.

In the room, Jinhai helped Nana lay on the bed. He sat beside her and patted her head. But her eyes had lost that luster. The years of friendship she shared with Serena was gone just like that.

So many happy memories…was just a deception.

“Nana…don’t think about anything now. Just close your eyes.”

She slowly turned her head to look at him. “Jinhai, did Serena…never treat me as her friend? Not even once in these years? Did I really hold no meaning in her life other than having revenge?”

Jinhai was silent. He had no answer for that.

“You know… in school, all girls avoided me. They hated me, saying that I was just a pretty face. Everybody had their own groups. Nobody liked talking to me. Nobody liked having lunch with me. Nobody liked taking me in class assignments or sports groups with them. I was always alone. Then Serena held out her hand one day, asking me to be her friend. Do you know how happy I was?”

Pain gripped Jinhai’s heart as he felt hurt for her. He wished he could have been there for her. He would have never left her alone.

“I finally got a friend. I needed nothing else. The sneers and taunts of my classmates meant nothing to me then. But she stabbed me in the back. Why?

Jinhai tightly held her hand in his.

“I was so happy when I came to know that Jianyu and Serena were dating. I was so, so happy for both of them. And then learning about her pregnancy made me the happiest. The thought of us becoming both mothers together, going out on baby shopping together, our children growing up together made me giddy with excitement. But now…those images, those expectations just turned into dust.”

Jinhai took her in his embrace, and she cried for a long time until she fell asleep in his arms. His gaze flashed with the streak of cruelty to take revenge.

And he will.

TheHuo family will have to pay.

Jianyu brought his car to a sudden stop, and Serena was pushed forward from the impact, but the seatbelt was in place.

Jianyu gripped her jaw hard in between his fingers. His voice, his tone, his expression had utter loathe and hate in them. It was that cold that it could freeze someone to death.

“You will not even move an inch from here.”

His grasp was badly hurting her, her eyes rimmed in tears, but she said nothing.

Jianyu got out and stepped inside Chen villa.

Chen Liling and Chen Guiren were in the living room when they got shocked seeing their son.

Chen Liling got emotional. “Jianyu! Come here. How are you, my child? We were missing you so much.” She quickly wiped her tears and hugged him.

Chen Guiren also nodded. “Son.”

She held his face in her hands and smiled. “Tell me, how are you here today, and how is Serena?”

But they found him behaving strangely. Something felt wrong. They glanced at each other.

“Jianyu, what’s wrong? You seem different.”

There was not his usual smile, his gentle expression. Instead, it was detached and cold and too broken.

“Mom, Dad. I want to join Chen Corps again.”
