C670 You Can Leave Now
"I am very disappointed in you. " Long Tianqi looked at Xia Xiyue coldly.
Because of his childhood experience, the number of people Long Tianqi trusted since childhood could be counted on one hand. Xia Xiyue was one of them, but this time she disappointed Long Tianqi and completely let down Long Tianqi's trust.
Once there was a crack in this trust, it would forever be an unsalvageable rift. Xia Xiyue would forever lose Long Tianqi's trust.
"Young Master Long, I. . . " Xia Xiyue heard Long Tianqi's words and felt like the world was spinning. How could he look at her like that? This look was even more piercing than the winter wind. It pierced Xia Xiyue's heart and made her feel like she was suffocating.
Step by step, Xia Xiyue stepped back. She did not dare to look Long Tianqi in the eyes. She felt ashamed. She wanted to escape, but she did not have any strength at all. She staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground. Her face was pale and her body felt powerless. " Young Master Long. . . I. . . "
" You can leave now. " Long Tianqi said coldly. He couldn't leave a person he didn't trust by Patriarch Long's side.
After all, Xia Xiyue was different from the other servants in the Dragon House. Patriarch Long still trusted Xia Xiyue. Long Tianqi could not take the risk.
"No!" Xia Xiyue shouted out involuntarily. Long Tianqi's words actually made her feel more pain than the look in his eyes.
Go? This was her home. Where could she go? What was the difference between letting her go now and letting her die?
It had been seven years. During these seven years, the Dragon Mansion was everything to her. Long Tianqi and Patriarch Long were her masters, as well as her family.
She had already lost her biological parents. Now, she could not lose them anymore.
Xia Xiyue helplessly shook her head and knelt on the ground. She kowtowed and her voice was mixed with tears as she begged for mercy. "I beg you. . . Young Master Long. . . I was wrong. . . I was really wrong. . . Don't chase me away. . . Please. . . Young Master Long. . . "
Long Tianqi shifted his gaze away, his face still cold.
" Xiyue. " Patriarch Long finally spoke, "Get up and speak first. "
"Master, I'm sorry. Master, I was wrong. Don't chase me away. I only have you guys. I. . . I have nothing else. I only have you guys. . . " Xia Xiyue knelt and crawled to Patriarch Long's legs, begging for mercy. "Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong. You can punish me however you want. Don't chase me away, okay? Please. . . I have to take care of you for the rest of your life. I have to take care of you for the rest of your life! "
"How long can I live? Ten years? Or twenty years? You are seventeen this year. If the heavens give me face, I will live for another twenty years. You are only thirty-seven years old. After I die, what do you want to do?" Patriarch Long patted Xia Xiyue's shoulder. " Your life has just begun. Why do you have to crucify all your possibilities? You still have to marry. You should make the decision for yourself. Not rely on others. "
A thirty-seven year old woman had long passed her best years. The most beautiful years had all been used to take care of an old man. Even if Xia Xiyue really made such a decision, Patriarch Long would not have the heart to do so.
Although Xia Xiyue was the orphan daughter of the housekeeper, she was still considered to have grown up in front of Patriarch Long. Xia Xiyue was very loyal to Patriarch Long, and Patriarch Long was also not bad to her.
In seven years, even a rock could be warmed up, let alone a human heart.
Patriarch Long was really thinking for Xia Xiyue.
"Master, I am not going anywhere. I will not marry anyone. " Xia Xiyue helplessly shook her head. "I beg you, don't chase me away. I beg you, I dare not do it again. I will not do it again. "
When her parents died, she experienced the darkest time in the world.
Those originally friendly relatives all revealed greedy faces. They fought over the property left by their parents and took over her home. They pointed at her and scolded her. Finally, they chased her, the jinx of [Crushing Dead Parents], out completely.
When Patriarch Long found her, she was already on the verge of dying from hunger on the side of the street.
She had nothing left. It was Patriarch Long who brought her back to the Long residence and gave her a place to shelter herself from the wind and rain. This was her home, and this was everything to her.
She didn't want to leave this place. She couldn't leave this place. She wouldn't go anywhere else besides this place.
"Xiyue. " Patriarch Long looked at Xia Xiyue crying miserably and frowned slightly. "You must leave. " He had this thought long ago. Xia Xiyue could not waste her life in the dragon house just like this. It was just that every time Xia Xiyue was mentioned to leave, she would have a pitiful look. Patriarch Long could not bear to force her.
But now, Patriarch Long could see through it clearly. Xia Xiyue absolutely could not continue like this. Her heart was already sick. She could not stay in the Long Family anymore. This would not benefit her at all.
His gaze touched Xia Xiyue's red and swollen eyes and her bruised forehead. Long clenched his fist and sunk his thoughts. This time, he could not be soft-hearted anymore.
"No. . . No. . . " Xia Xiyue shook her head in despair. This was the only place she had left. Why did he chase her away? "Master. . . No. . . "
"I have made up my mind. " Patriarch Long's eyes turned cold. "You can leave after the New Year. "
"Master, if you really want me to leave. . . " Xia Xiyue took a deep breath and raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face. "Xiyue will obediently do as you say. Before the New Year, I will serve you well at the end. " Xia Xiyue heavily knocked her head and her eyes were gloomy, "Thank you for saving my life. "
Turning around, Xia Xiyue kowtowed to Long Tianqi again. "Young Master Long, I'm sorry. I. . . I won't make things difficult for Miss Yi anymore. "
"Yes. " "Let's talk about other things after the New Year," Long Tianqi said.
"Yes. " Xia Xiyue lowered her head.
"You can go down. Wash your face and rest for a while. " Patriarch Long let out a long breath. He was also tired.
"Okay. " Xia Xiyue stood up and staggered away from the old house.
Long Tianqi looked at Xia Xiyue's back and sighed.
He still remembered that when he first saw Xia Xiyue seven years ago, she was still a timid child. Her ragged clothes were filled with panic and fear. When she saw food, she would eat heartily. When she saw strangers, she would hide behind him.
People would change.
Lowering her head, she walked towards her residence step by step. In Xia Xiyue's mind, it was as if she was turning a horse around and playing the scenes of the past seven years. There were happiness, sadness, joy, and worry.
"Xiyue?" A servant looked at Xia Xiyue who was in a daze and was stunned. "What happened to you?"
"It's nothing. " Xia Xiyue shook her head and looked at the man. Then she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wang Quan, do you still have the hemp rope you used to wrap the tree trunk last month?"
"Yes, still a little. What's wrong?" Quan Wang looked at Xia Xiyue curiously.
"Send it to me later. I want to tie something up. " Xia Xiyue replied.
"Oh. " Wang Quan nodded and looked at Xia Xiyue. "Xiyue, what happened to your forehead?"
"It's nothing. I hit the wall. It hurts so much that I cried. " Xia Xiyue pulled an unnatural smile. "That's it. Go and do your work. "
"Oh. Okay. " Wang Quan nodded his head and went to do his own things.
Xia Xiyue continued to walk towards her own residence.
She would not leave the Long residence. This was her home and she would not go anywhere.
Even if she had to die, she would die in the Long Family.
