Chapter 106: U Smile, I Smile

"Please, I would be more than happy if blow this problem up. I'm sure you would like to accompany your son behind the bar." 

"Y-You!" Mrs. Ling glared at her in disbelief. 

Ling Guang took a deep breath before he pulls her mother behind him. His complexion doesn't look great from the start, but now that he frowned, he looks even uglier. 

"Xia Sha, this grudges it between us. I apologize for today. Can you spare my mom?" 

Xia Sha raised her eyebrow at Ling Guang. Somehow his state today reminds her of how he used to be in the past. Ling Guang used to be this calm, composed, down to earth but composed man. But on top of them all, he used to be reasonable and far-sighted. 

"Well, sure, you know how I settle things,"

Xia Sha tried to test him. If he had a sudden outburst or start complaining that he couldn't do anything because she has taken his company, that means this Ling Guang is just a facade for a moment. 

"What compensation did you want? I'll try to pay you back." Ling Guang looks solemn and composed. He didn't even battle an eyelid as he speaks. 

"Ling Guang! Are you crazy?"

Mrs.Ling could not believe what she heard. His son has lost his company to this demoness. His years of hard work is gone in a blink of an eye. Now he still wants to pay compensation to this demoness. How did she teach his son in the past? 

"No! We will never pay for compensation. This demoness is the one who should compensate us! I-"

"Mom, enough. She helped us enough. We should be thankful instead of making more trouble for her," Ling Guang begged his mother with a pitiful face. 

Mrs. Ling looks at his son's face and starts to get teary. He looks so different from the confident and prideful Ling Guang she has seen this five years. 

For Mrs. Ling, the Ling Guang before is the best version of him. The smart, quick-witted, powerful Ling Guang. She never gets tired of boasting his successful son to her friend. 

"I should have known a rich brat like you were never good news. Why you give my son so much opportunity if you are only to take away everything for him? How bad did he wrong you?" Mrs. Ling sobbed. 

She felt helpless at his saint son and could only direct her frustration at Xia Sha. Xia Sha looked at Mrs. Ling and started to feel bad for Ling Guang. 

In her memory, Mrs. Ling has always been supportive of their relationship. She might not fond of Xia Sha, but she never really bullied or ignored her existence either. 

"It's is very wrong to cheat on you when he knew your family would never accept him? Have you even consider what position or what he has to face if he marries you in the future?" Tears keep falling from Mrs. Ling's eyes. 

"Mom, stop it," Ling Guang begged with a hoarse voice. Perhaps he is embarrassed or guilty, but he didn't dare to look at Xia Sha at all. He touched his mother's hand and pulled her to get out of this building. 

"No! I won't go until she promised me that you wouldn't get prisoned. I won't go until I knew you were safe," Mrs. Ling is determined. Whatever she must go through today, she must ensure that his son is safe. 

"Xia Sha, remember how we had helped you when your father kicked you out from your house!" 

Guan Xian watched Xia Sha's small back slightly tremble. She clenched her hand into a fist to hold the surge of emotion inside of her. Although he doesn't know what exactly happens between them in the past, Guan Xian could guess that Mrs. Ling has touched Xia Sha's soft spot. 

Ling Guang, this bastard probably not a bad guy in the past. 

But what kind of guy standing still doing nothing when his ex-girlfriend almost got raped in front of him? 

For this reason only, Ling Guang in Guan Xian's eyes is not higher than trash. No matter how kind he is in the past. With that, he comes forward and holds Xia Sha's hand. 

Xia Sha is surprised at the sudden warm touch curling against her palm. She looked up and found him smiling at her gently. Squeezing her hand, and wrinkled his nose playfully. An instant smile appears on her face. It just comes naturally the second she sees his smile. 

"You can do it," he mouthed to him.

She doesn't understand how his presence could restore all her composure. The composure that she ingrained since the day she is named Xia Sha. She nodded her head to Guan Xian as her answer to his supportiveness.

The sweet and heartwarming scene is like a sharp dagger piercing into Ling Guang's heart. He could control his face to pretend their interaction didn't affect him, but sadness is there, underneath his dull eyes. 

A burgeoning sense of uneasiness when Guan Xian stares at him. Even though he is showing a friendly smile, he emits a protectives aura around him. 

"Mrs. Ling, I do remember your help in the past. I never forget and forever will be grateful for your help. That is why I help your son to reach his positions today." 

Xia Sha turned to Ling Guang for a while before looking at Mrs. Ling back seriously.

"I don't want to be a calculating person, but you are the one who started. Speaking facts, from money, connection to the product, everything that a start-up would need, I provided it. He might be the CEO but I'm the founder. I 'betrayed' my own family to help yours, but when the feed that I'm feeding is biting me, why couldn't I get back what has always been mine?" 

"W-what? I could not believe this," Mrs. Ling is so angered by her words that she laughs in disbelief. 

"It's always been yours? Oh God, I Could not believe this. Son, how could you find such a wicked woman? We must have been blind in the past." Mrs. Ling is clenching her teeth as she said. 

Xia Sha ignored Mrs. Ling's response and looked at Ling Guang instead. 

"Ling Guang, I'm sorry that I might hurt your pride in saying those stuff. Just like what your mom has said, I didn't consider your feeling enough. I apologized for that. But I don't think I should compensate you as what your mom demanded. We break up because of my insensitivity to protect your pride, but you also betrayed me. I got my revenge, and you got yours. I think there is nothing left to discuss our relationship." 

The air surrounds Ling Guang is suffocating him slowly, but he does agree with all her words. Their story has ended. There is nothing to blame or compensate for it. 

"I understand," he nodded his head slightly.

"You should explain it to your mom if you understand," Guan Xian mumbles under his breath. He uses a relatively low voice, so only Xia Sha could hear him. Xia Sha glance at him, and he grinned like an innocent boy. 

"Well, since the two of you had a clean breakup, why did you sue my son? Give him back his comp-"

"THE COMPANY, however, has violated the law and purposely harming my company under your leadership. For this, Xia Corporation has decided to put this matter in legal hands. It's the decision made by the Xia corporation, not me in person. I can guarantee claimed that I didn't involve personal reason in this. So Mrs. Ling, your personal attack for me today is very much unjustified." 

Mrs. Ling looks speechless, she wanted to refute, but her son's hold on her got tightened. A signal from him to make her stop. 

"I understand, and I hope you could be the one with the bigger heart to forgive our impudence. I beg," Ling Guang didn't hesitate to apologize does soften Xia Sha's heart severely. 

She took a deep breath and nodded her head. 

"Fine, as long as I don't see the THREE of you in this building again, I won't make it difficult for you. Especially you, I don't want to see you anymore," Xia Sha said to Ling Guang coldly. 

She promised herself that it will be the last time she would speak to Ling Guang about this matter. After this minute passed, Ling Guang is nothing but a person in her past. He had his part in her life, one that she couldn't erase, but that all it will be. 

A lesson and a memory. She took a last glance at two of them before turning back. Pulling Guan Xian's hand gently as she looked at him with a radiating smile. 

"Are you coming?" she asked Guan Xian with unusual kindness. Guan Xian is surprised, but when he sees how miserable Ling Guang look from the corner of his eyes, he slowly understand. 

He smiled faintly and shook his head. 

"I'll go to your office later. I need to wait for Xiao Ni." 

Xia Sha nodded her head hesitantly but went away first, leaving Guan Xian with defeated Mrs. Ling and Ling Guang in the big lobby. She stopped and looked back at Guan Xian several times. 

Ling Guang holds his breath and looks at her with unfathomable eyes. So this is the end of Xia Sha and Ling Guang. He could not believe the story that starts very beautiful could end up this painful. Xia Sha is going very well without him, while he crumbles the moment she let go of him. 

He sighed and realized how pathetic he was, even more now when Guan Xian stood tall in front of him. He shone like an emperor while he is a poor man. It's a sad comparison. 

He began to collect himself and grab his mom to go home. The disspirited Mrs. Ling still look dumbfounded but let his son drag him home. That is when they heard Guan Xian's deep voice talking to them. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Ling, I have an offer to make for you two. A second chance.. If you take this offer, I hope you can keep your promises and don't cause trouble for Xia Sha again."
