Chapter 228
“Apart from divorcing me and not fulfilling the duties of a wife, everything else is possible,” the man said with a smile, speaking generously.
An Ruo looked into his eyes, sensing that he was in a good mood today and quite indulgent towards her.
If she did not speak now, she would never have the chance.
“Can you let Yun Feixue go?”
Tang Yuchen’s smile vanished instantly, and after looking at her for a few seconds, he said indifferently, “I’ll give you a choice, either tell me the whereabouts of your father’s shares, or let me let Yun Feixue go.”
“I choose the latter.”
The man suddenly laughed, his smile tinged with self-mockery and coldness, “You brought me a shirt today, and you painted for me, just to plead for her? Babe, didn’t you say you had no ulterior motives?”
An Ruo turned her head away, lowering her eyes, “I admit, I did have a purpose. Please let her go, she is actually quite pitiful. If you hadn’t provoked her from the start, she wouldn’t have done so many things.”
“Continue with your reasons.”
“…I don’t have any other reasons, I just feel like you should let her off once.”
“I already let her off last time,” the man said lightly.
An Ruo scoffed, “You call that letting her off? You turned her into the laughingstock of the entire city, you destroyed her happiness, her pride, and her dreams with your own hands. Tang Yuchen, you should realize how deeply you’ve hurt her, you never spared her at all!”
He sanctimoniously claimed it was a small punishment for Yun Feixue as a warning to others, but in reality, he never went easy on anyone who offended him.
Even if that woman held a somewhat special place in his heart, even if they had once shared tender moments of affection.
This man was too cruel; his ruthless methods were chilling.
Tang Yuchen raised his lips in a cold smile, “She killed the child in your belly, yet you plead for her. An Ruo, do you think you’re a saint?”
“The one who killed the child wasn’t just her, there was also you,” An Ruo said without warmth.
Tang Yuchen’s dark eyes grew stormy, and he pressed his lips together without speaking.
“If we were to really investigate, you’re the only instigator.”
“…”
“I was just speaking some fair words for Yun Feixue. Whether or not to let her go is still up to you; I’ve said all I intend to.”
“Don’t you want to know where your father’s shares went?”
“Money is lifeless; once it’s gone, it’s gone… Some truths can be investigated by myself.”
Suddenly, Tang Yuchen said, “On your birthday, I’ll accompany you back to the An Family for dinner.”
An Ruo looked at him in surprise, “Why would you go? I don’t plan on going.”
The man said with a light smile, “Babe, your uncle invited you. Considering he raised you and your brother for over a decade, you shouldn’t refuse his kindness.”
An Ruo didn’t catch the underlying tone in his voice. Frowning, she shook her head, “I won’t go. If you want to go, you go!”
“Tsk tsk, truly heartless. You don’t feel any gratitude for over a decade of nurturing?”
“Enough!” She stood up abruptly, angrily saying, “Don’t bring this up again; I’ve repaid everything I owed.”
Tang Yuchen still smiled, amiably remarking, “Babe, for a drop of water, one should return a spring. Some debts can never be fully repaid.”
An Ruo’s heart tightened sharply, a somewhat sharp pain stabbing her.
She had given so much, sacrificed so much; was it still not enough to repay the nurturing kindness of Uncle?
Yes, indeed, the kindness of upbringing is said to be greater than heaven.
