Chapter 260 - 261: From Now On, I Am Your Family (2)
Just as Lou Jian Country was about to speak, Lou Xi suddenly stood in front of Qin Mobai and interjected, "I’m sorry, I won’t let Mo Bai give you the five million. I am indeed with him, but he doesn’t have to take this on for me. I thank you for raising me."
Lou Xi insisted, this wasn’t something that could be solved with five million.
Upon hearing this, Yang Lihua completely exploded, the five million was just slipping away!
Only to hear Lou Xi continue, "In the future, I will send you money every month, not a penny less than you deserve."
Lou Xi’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she couldn’t feel any pain. The greater pain was in her heart.
"No way, we want five million! Who knows if you’ll send the money back on time each month, what if you cheat us?" Yang Lihua insisted.
Lou Xi was really pushed to a point by Yang Lihua where she couldn’t say a word; she bit her lip just to hold back her tears.
"Believe it or not, anyway, today I won’t let Mo Bai give you the five million. I’m sorry, but maybe we can’t spend this National Day with you. Mo Bai and I will leave now." Lou Xi couldn’t stay there anymore. If she stayed any longer, she might really die of anger.
Ignoring Yang Lihua’s screaming, Lou Xi dragged Qin Mobai and walked out.
As they left, Qin Mobai turned to look at the shrieking Yang Lihua in the hall and Lou Jian Country sitting silently in a chair. That was probably the first time Qin Mobai had ever felt so annoyed with someone.
Lou Xi pulled Qin Mobai out of the house, walking along the riverbank, they reached the entrance to the town. Only then did she let go of Qin Mobai’s hand, squatted down, and cried her heart out, unrestrained.
This was probably the most heart-wrenching cry Lou Xi had ever had. She used to think that no matter what, the sky wouldn’t fall. No matter what grievances she faced outside, everything would be fine when she got home.
Although she had no blood relation with the people in that family, after so many years together, there must be feelings.
But... reality dealt Lou Xi a heavy slap, teaching her what heartbreak truly is.
Tears continuously fell from her eyes, uncontrollable.
Qin Mobai allowed Lou Xi to cry. Some emotions need to be released, or it would feel uncomfortable to keep it all inside.
He instructed the bodyguards to disperse the onlookers, secluding the area so Lou Xi could have her space to vent.
For a long time.
Lou Xi didn’t know how much time had passed, she only felt her legs were numb and her tears dried up.
Qin Mobai squatted down and held Lou Xi in his arms.
"Be good, stop crying." Qin Mobai soothed in a deep voice.
She didn’t know that every sob was like a knife slicing into Qin Mobai’s heart.
"If you cry, it makes my heart ache." He gently stroked Lou Xi’s back, comforting her.
Lou Xi didn’t want Qin Mobai to worry, but she was so heartbroken.
"Young Master Qin... from now on... from now on..." Lou Xi cried so hard that she could hardly speak, "I won’t have any family... it’s so painful..."
That feeling was worse than a heartbreak.
Being abandoned by those she considered closest was worse than five million.
"It’s okay. From now on, I will be your family." Qin Mobai whispered, kissing her hair.
