Chapter 173: Hug from his Mother

Chapter 173: Xiao Tong’s Regrets: Hug from his Mother

Translator: Lonelytree

It could be said that Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingye’s fates changed after the Xiao Family was smashed, robbed, injured, and crippled.

That was the end of their family’s bad luck and also the twist in their fate.

Those who were not strong would always be bullied.

Therefore, Xiao Lingye became stronger, and so did Xiao Lingyu. However, no one expected the end of Xiao Tong’s life.

When Xiao Lingyu rushed back, she did not even get to see Xiao Tong one last time. Mother Xiao was so angry that she hit, scolded, and scolded her.

Xiao Lingyu cried her heart out, filled with regret.

So what? Xiao Tong was still dead.

Before Xiao Tong left, he wanted to see his mother the most, but he didn’t get that wish. He lay in the hospital bed. His small eyes kept looking at the door, not daring to miss anything.

His grandmother told him that his mother would come back to see him. When his mother returned, she would definitely give him a good hug. Xiao Tong missed his mother, and he wanted his mother to hug him. After he got that hug, he could leave in peace.

But he failed to persist until his mother’s return. He left with deep regret.

…

Xiao Lingyu’s tears fell like rain.

She slowly sat on the ground and leaned against the door. Her entire body trembled, and she was heartbroken.

So what if she had her own career later on?

So what if she had the ability to take revenge?

Xiao Tong was gone forever. Xiao Tong only wanted his mother’s hug, but Xiao Lingyu didn’t even once glance at him. It was not until Xiao Tong’s death that Xiao Lingyu understood her mistake. Xiao Tong was the most innocent party.

However, she placed all the blame on Xiao Tong. She treated him like he was the source of all her despair. This was the cruelest thing she could do as a mother. Xiao Tong’s death carried both Xiao Tong and Xiao Lingyu’s regret.

Therefore, after her rebirth, Xiao Lingyu was merciless with her revenge. However, she was also anxious about Xiao Tong’s arrival. Ever since her rebirth, Xiao Lingyu had been controlling herself not to think so much about her previous life.

However, when Old Master Gong mentioned those flowers, it triggered her memories.

Before Old Master Gong arrived, Xiao Lingyu thought Lan Hongxing snatched those flowers just to annoy the Xiao Family. But now she understood, Lan Hongxing or someone behind him had seen through the value of the flowers and had Lan Hongxing steal all of them.

After Lan Hongxing left, the Xiao Family called the police. However, the police refused to start a file. Then, the Xiao Family went to the county police station and demanded that they arrest the Lan Family for intentional injury, smashing, robbery. Similarly, no one paid attention to them. They said they wouldn’t handle village conflict and chased them away.

Now that she thought about it, Xiao Lingyu realized the person who told Lan Hongxing to steal the flowers must have connections with the county police.

Lan Hongxing’s father knew the deputy chief of Xing An City’s police station, so it was understandable that they were chased away there. However, what about the police at Xing Yin County? Grandpa Xiao had some connection there, but even so, they couldn’t do anything to the Lan Family.

There had to be a reason behind this. The reason was clear to Xiao Lingyu now. The person who wanted the flowers was someone with a powerful status. The Xiao Family had no choice but to suffer the pain back then. This meant that the Xiao Family had an enemy that they hadn’t even seen yet.

This enemy fancied her family’s flowers. If they had come to ask with sincerity, Father and Mother Xiao might have given them the flowers for free. Instead, the person sent people to smash the house and injure Father Xiao and Brother Xiao. After that, they controlled the police force so that the Xiao Family couldn’t lodge a case.

Xiao Lingyu’s eyes sharpened. She had dealt with the Chen Family and Zhao Family. Both Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman were done for. As for this unknown flower snatcher, Xiao Lingyu would wait patiently. If they tried the same method as from her previous life, she would make sure they would be punished by law this time.

“Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Liu Chunhua asked with concern, “I think I heard crying. Are you okay?”

When Liu Chunhua heard from Xiao Xiaohui that Xiao Lingyu was not feeling well, she immediately ran over to take a look.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she seemed to hear a faint cry.

At first, she thought that she had heard wrongly. However, after listening for a moment, she was sure that she did not hear wrongly.

Xiao Lingyu was startled. She quickly wiped her tears and tried her best to sound normal as she said, “Fourth aunt, I’m fine. I’m not crying. You heard wrong!”

She was too immersed in her reminiscence that she forgot there were many people outside the door. Try as she might, her voice was still hoarse from crying.

Liu Chunhua frowned. “Yu ‘Er, you don’t sound well. Open the door and let fourth aunt take a look.” Liu Chunhua was very concerned about Xiao Lingyu. She needed to see Xiao Lingyu to be at ease.

Xiao Lingyu couldn’t open the door due to the tear stains on her face. She said, “Fourth Aunt, I’m really fine. We have many guests, and they’re my friends. I’m not feeling well, so I can’t entertain them. Can you help me instead?”

Hearing how stubborn Xiao Lingyu was, Liu Chunhua sighed. She couldn’t really barge into the room. She said, “Okay, I’ll go serve the guests then. Remember that Fourth Aunt is always here for you, okay?”

“Thank you.” Xiao Lingyu nodded.

After Liu Chunhua left, Xiao Lingyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She was a little surprised that her fourth aunt’s ears were so sensitive.

What Xiao Lingyu did not know was Liu Chunhua was not the only one with sensitive ears.

The black-clothed men, Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao, who had received training, could all hear the faint sobbing. Even though Xiao Lingyu didn’t cry so hard and there was a door between them, they could still hear her sobbing.

Gong Tianhao and Jiang Tao frowned.

Could it be that Xiao Lingyu was frightened by the assassination this morning? Had she been holding back her tears? But why would she cry now?

They were a little puzzled.

Especially Gong Tianhao.

This was because every time Xiao Lingyu acted strange, it was all related to him. During the rear-end collision, Xiao Lingyu deliberately tried to sneak a look at him; during the assassination incident, a shocked expression flashed across her eyes when Xiao Lingyu saw his face; and after that, when she saw her grandfather, Xiao Lingyu’s face turned pale, and she lost her composure.

Now, she ran to her room to cry. It was when his grandfather mentioned the flowers that she became like this. Why?

Gong Tianhao didn’t know why, but he wanted to ask. However, he saw Jiang Tao beside him. He was not going to steal from his friend!

He suppressed that impulse.

Jiang Tao also furrowed his brows tightly at Xiao Lingyu’s crying, and a faint worry appeared on his face.

As for those men in black, their mission was to protect the Old Master Gong. They didn’t care about the rest.

Xiao Zhengyang invited Old Master Gong to the dining table. He didn’t know his daughter was crying.

Old Master Gong continued, “Zhengyang, you are so lucky. You randomly pick some flowers, and they are extremely precious. You manage to raise them well too.”

“Old Master, please take a seat!” Xiao Zhengyang asked Old Master Gong to sit down and asked curiously, “Sir, the flowers that you mentioned, are they that precious?”

Old Master Gong nodded. “That’s right. Take, for example, that pot of giant crinum lily, and it can sell for 5000 RMB on the flower market.”

Xiao Zhengyang’s hand trembled. “What? 5000 RMB? Is it that expensive?” He only spent 10 RMB on buying that pot of plant. It overturned his understanding of flowers.

“Yes.” Old Master Gong nodded. “And that is considered cheap already. Do you see that pot of sword-leaved cymbidium? It can be sold for 50000 to 80000 RMB.”

Xiao Zhengyang, “….” Yu ‘Er dug that back from the mountain.

“And Si Zang Zhu Lian is a precious chrysanthemum flower. It can sell for 20,000 to 30,000!”

“…” Xiao Zhengyang. This was something people didn’t want, and Ye ‘Er brought it home.

When Xiao Zhengyang and the village chief heard this, they sucked in a deep breath. So, Xiao Zhengyang had flowers worth hundreds of thousands in his yard? They should be thankful that no one knew the values of these flowers, or they would be robbed a long time ago.

“Zhengyang, you have hundreds of thousands just placed around your courtyard?” The village chief said in shock.

Hundreds of thousands. Most villagers wouldn’t earn that in their lifetime. The village chief had no idea that these flowers that the villagers normally threw away would be worth so much.

Xiao Zhengyang was shocked for a moment before he quickly recovered. He smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t know that these flowers were so valuable. Yu ‘Er planted them because they looked pretty.”

“That’s why I said your luck is really good. Haha!” Old Master Gong laughed. Then, he saw another flower pot, and he asked curiously, “Hmm, what kind of flower is this? The flowers are white. Are they strawberries? But I haven’t seen such a large strawberry flower before.” Old Master Gong pointed at a flower pot.

“Old Master, you have good eyesight. This is a strawberry plant!” Xiao Zhengyang said, “In a few days, it will bear fruit. We’ll send some to Old Master for a taste!”

“Thank you then!” Old Master Gong said bluntly, “Your family is really good at planting flowers and plants. Even your strawberries are different from others.”

“Grandpa, let’s eat first!” Gong Tianhao suddenly interrupted.

Gong Tianhao smelled the food on the table and instantly felt his stomach rumbling. He also heard the rumbling from other people’s stomachs. However, his grandfather was too excited, talking about flowers. Since he didn’t move his chopsticks, the rest didn’t dare to.

After being reminded by Gong Tianhao, the old man immediately paid attention to the food on the table and smelled the fragrance.

“What a fragrant smell!” Old Master Gong couldn’t help but praise.

Li Yuanhang almost drooled when he smelled the dishes. He added, “Old Master, Auntie Chen’s dishes are really delicious! Try them!”

“Okay!” Old Master Gong picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of cabbage. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he couldn’t help but praise, “They are really delicious. Everyone, let’s eat.”

Other than the village chief who was reserved, the others couldn’t hold it in any longer. They immediately picked up their chopsticks.

Although Jiang Tao was worried about Xiao Lingyu, since she didn’t come out, he couldn’t do anything either. He couldn’t ask to go to her room, could he?

Therefore, he turned his powerlessness into appetite and joined the food fight. He was targeting Gong Tianhao and Li Yuanhang. He would follow their chopsticks everywhere they went.

Li Yuanhang had missed and waited for the food from Auntie Chen for a long time. Young Master Jiang blocked him and snatched the food away from him. Li Yuanhang was too cultured and polite to compete with the barbarian, Jiang Tao. So he placed his hopes on Gong Tianhao. Only Gong Tianhao could deal with Jiang Tao.

Gong Tianhao had been waiting for as long as Li Yuanhang. He missed these ordinary yet delicious home-cooked meals.

However, because of Xiao Lingyu’s crying, he felt distracted and frustrated. He turned his frustration into a fighting spirit. He fought Jiang Tao for food.

Seeing that Jiang Tao kept snatching the dishes from him, he didn’t want to be outdone and snatched them back.

The people of Taoyuan Village had no idea what was going on.

Old Master Gong and his subordinates turned a blind eye to this scene as if they were already used to it.

Mother Xiao cooked two tables of dishes because she knew they were going to have guests.

There were twelve dishes at each table. There were meat and vegetables: pork with preserved vegetables, beef brisket stewed with radish, braised pork trotters, boiled beef slices, chopped fish head with pepper, stir-fried meat with green peppers, beer duck, eggplant pot, mushroom soup with old hen, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried spinach, cold cucumber.

Mother Xiao was afraid of making too little, so she made extra. Every plate was filled to the brim.

However, even so, in less than two minutes, the three pots of rice in the rice cooker were almost gone, and so did all the plates.

The five men in black were fast eaters. Each of them ate as much as three men.

Mother Xiao underestimated them.. She had no idea these people had such big appetites.
