The 3 B's- Beauty , Brains And Bravery 224 In Love With Xi Yuan !

Xi Yuan didn't knew that the girl's heart had finally melted for him tonight. He was simply relieved by the a.s.surance that she would never leave him. What more could he ask for ?

Rong Xinghe stood up from her seat and walked towards the two big statues. She stopped just in front of them and bowed down respectfully to the Xi family elders.

"Thank you. Thank you for making him the person he is today. Everyone might think that your departure was too sudden but I believe that even though it was sudden , it was still a beautiful one. It was too painful for your grandson but it was a relief for the both of you. Could there be anything more satisfactory than dying with the person you lived all your life with ? I don't think so.

"Grandpa and Grandma , I know you are looking at all your grandchildren from heaven. And I know that you are proud of them. I am proud of them as well.

"I am sorry that I addressed you as my grandparents but I would like to do that from now on. The grandparents I had wanted me dead. They hated me and they hit me almost everyday. I have broken all my relations.h.i.+p with them now. So I don't have any grandparents anymore. Can I be bold enough to request that relations.h.i.+p from you both ? May your souls rest in peace."

At this time , Xi Yuan pulled the girl in his warm embrace. How could he see her like that ? How could he forget that the relations.h.i.+p he had with his grandparents was once her biggest dream ? At least , he received that love for fifteen years of his life. But his Xinghe just never felt such love ! Yet she was trying to pacify him so calmly tonight. Could she be any more brave ?

Rong Xinghe also gave him an optimistic perspective for his past today. Although his grandparents left him quite early , they had a smile plastered across their lips when their souls left their bodies. They were satisfied by their death and they had no regrets at that time. This made him feel more comfortable. Rong Xinghe was indeed an angel in his life.

The girl separated the man from herself and dragged him towards the exit ,"No more tears now ! Grandpa would hate to see you like that."

"Where are we going ?", the man smiled.

"On Rong Xinghe's infamous speed drive ! Then we will gulp down a giant ice-cream tub. By the way , you are paying for that , Mr. RichXi !"

___________________________

After Rong Xinghe lightened the man's mood to normal , she dropped him to the Elite Saphhire before driving back to Military Chief Office. She had an emergency to attend there. Moreover , she understood that the man would feel much better if he would spend some time alone.

As soon as Xi Yuan entered the penthouse , Xi Fang pulled him in a tight hug followed by Xi Ying and Xi Wei. When he realized that the Xi trio were crying endlessly , Xi Yuan was stunned to his core. His eyes subconsciously landed on the projector screen displaying the footage of Memorial Garden and he sighed helplessly. He had never revealed anything to them about that incident before because he didn't wanted them to develop any negative impression about their parents.

But in the end , he couldn't suppress their curiosity anyway.

"Okay. Calm down guys. Ying , you know I can't see you like that.", the man wiped away his sister's tears with the pad of his thumb.

After the Xi trio finally calmed down , Xi Fang looked at his brother angrily ,"How could you bottle up so much pain inside you ? Brother , didn't you trusted us ?"

"Of course I did. Fang , don't misunderstand me. I was afraid that I will weaken up if I disclose my feelings and at that time , I had to stay strong in order to take over the Xi business empire. All the three of you were suddenly my responsibility. You and Ying were just 11 and Wei was 10 at that time. How was I to tell you something like that ?"

"We will never forgive mom , dad , uncle and auntie for how they s.n.a.t.c.hed away your childhood from you ! We will never forget that you were just 18 when you had to take over the burden of the family business on your shoulders , brother.", Xi Ying clenched her fists resentfully.

"Ying , let bygones be bygones. At that time , money had blinded them. But ever since you three came back , did they ever mistreated you ? They are our parents. I still remember how hurt grandfather and grandmother were when our parents had talked insultingly to them. Old people's hearts are always vulnerable and sensitive. We better not repeat that sin in our family again.", the man pa.s.sed a gla.s.s of water to Xi Ying calmly.

Xi Wei squeezed his brother's tensed shoulders as he asked ,"Is that why you rarely talk to them ? Because you are afraid that you might say something too harsh ?"

Xi Yuan nodded his head silently. Greed was a person's own mistake and somewhere there deep down in his heart , that 15 year old boy blamed his parents for how his grandparents left him. But he had seen how guilty Xi Chongkun and Xi Chonglin felt for what had happened. And that guilt was their biggest punishment. So he always avoided to mention that night in front of them.

Xi Fang stared at Xi Yuan seriously as he looked straight into his eyes ,"I understand what you are trying to say. None of us will ever initiate an argument with them. But if any of them hurts you again , don't expect me to go easy on anyone."

Xi Yuan knew that Xi Fang wasn't joking. Ever since he was a child , Xi Fang had always considered Xi Yuan as his mentor , which in a way , was true. Xi Yuan had personally trained the trio in the field of business management , after all.

Xi Fang's personality wasn't that outrageous but if any problem concerned Xi Yuan , he wouldn't take any relations.h.i.+p into consideration before speaking up.

Clearly , the third generation of Xi family was way more harmonious than the second generation.

Zhi Family Mansion , 3:00 a.m. :

Rong Xinghe entered the place in the midnight and dragged Zhi Al out of his room to the mansion's exit. Zhi Al was still wearing his pajama and T-s.h.i.+rt when he was hauled out of his own house like that.

The man was already used to the girl's odd actions by now. In fact , Rong Xinghe would disturb only him and Su Rogguang at 3:00 a.m. in the night time. Su Rogguang must've been busy in some surgery , he thought.

"What is it , brat ?!", Zhi Al yawned when the girl finally stopped in the parking arena.

"Bro... I want to tell you something."

"What ?"

Rong Xinghe rested her right hand on her heart as she took a deep breath ,"Maybe... I am in love."

Zhi Al was so shocked that his sleepy eyes flew wide open and he stared at the girl for few good minutes before he asked her cautiously ,"With ?" Please don't let it be him !

"Xi Yuan !"

Zhi Al : "....."
