-----
One day the man, Xi Cheng’s biological father called him by blackmailing him by revealing the truth of his life and his mother. Unwillingly, Xi Cheng went to see the man but that day he didn’t carry money. They met at the deserted place in the middle of the night.
"Where is my money?" the man asked.
"I don’t have it, and from now on, you won’t get it," Xi Cheng warned as he was standing in front of the man who was his biological father.
"You ungrateful bastard. Because of me, you are in this world. How dare you disobey me. Don’t you want your mother and you to live in peace?"
"I want, but for now, you have to go away from here. My mother already gave you enough money, and now we don’t have any."
Though Xi Cheng was angry, he was trying every bit of inside him to be calm and solve this matter peacefully.
"Do you want me to go away, huh? Is it you or that bitch who always looked down on me. Does she wants me to remind her again what kind of a man I am?" the man said, referring to his past deed with Xi Cheng’s mother, and Xi Cheng clenched his fists, trying not to lose his temper, but the man ignored it.
"That bitch, I still remember how she begged me to let her go and how I ruined her. Her screaming was so satisfying that I still remember it," said the man shamelessly as he laughed.
Xi Cheng closed his eyes as it hurt him to listen to what this man did, and the moment he opened it, there was nothing but the anger filled in it.
"That bitch was so tasty; no wonder Xi Guiren was so crazy for her. If I get her again..."
Punch!!
Stepping forward, Xi Cheng punched the man and held him by the collar.
"I tried to put up with you just because I want to live in peace with my mother, but it seems like you wish to die only."
The man was shocked by the punch he got from Xi Cheng and spoke, "Will you kill your father?"
"I will if it’s the only way to protect my mother."
The man laughed. "Protect your mother from whom? The man you call as your father when he knows the truth, no one can protect you and your mother. Why do you think he made his younger son an heir while he ignored you, huh? Because somewhere he must doubt it too. Soon you and your mother would be on the streets."
"Shut up. I will protect my mother. When I am alive, no one can hurt her."
The man laughed. "Who are you, huh? You are the result of rape, a bastard child, and once everyone knows it, they will spit on you and your mother. They will tag you as- mistress and her bastard son who tried to fool a rich man."
"But I will tell everyone if you don’t give me money. I will tell how I rapped your mother and how....."
Smash!!
The next moment the man was lying on the floor, and his head started to bleed as he looked at the iron rod in Xi Cheng’s hands. The man could only look at him, but no word could make its way out of his throat.
Having an evil expression on his face, Xi Cheng sat down with the rod in his hands, "I tried not to go to this extent, but you left me no option. I wanted to kill you the moment you told me you raped my mother, but just for her sake, I stopped myself from being a criminal. As you left me with no option, you have to die. No one will ever know the truth now."
The man closed his eyes, and Xi Cheng left the place. When Xi Cheng came back home, he straight went to his room. Not knowing what to feel about what he did a while ago, he silently sat under the shower, but soon there was a sound of crying.
The young man who was always so loving and caring to others, not expecting anything in return and the one who was still content with what he had in his life, now had become a murder that he never thought to be.
Crying under the shower while holding his head in hand, he could remember the wounded man lying on the ground and felt disgusted with himself, but the next moment he got hold of himself thinking about his mother. The peaceful life he imagined to live with his mother, got stained.
After having a shower, Xi Cheng couldn’t sleep so he went to his mother’s room, who woke up hearing the sound of the door opening. She looked at the man entering her room and turned on the light by pressing the switch beside her bed.
"Xi Cheng? What happened, son? Do you need anything?" Han Ju asked as she sat up in the bed.
"I can’t sleep." Xi Cheng answered, his face looked sad that his mother noticed.
"Why are you looking so down? Did something happen?"
Xi Cheng shook his head and went to bed, "Can I rest here for a while?"
Han Ju Nodded, and Xi Cheng climbed the bed as he laid down with his head on his mother’s lap that startled her. Xi Cheng never acted like this, so it was shocking.
Patting his head for a while, she asked, "Tell me what’s troubling you?"
"Nothing, mother," replying Xi Cheng closed his eyes, so Han Ju spoke again.
"Are you upset that your father is passing the business to Xi Guo instead of you?"
"No, mother. I am happy for him."
"Then what’s the matter? If you want, I can talk to your father about it."
"No need, mother. Anyways that business doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to my stepmother."
