Tang Huaijin looked at Shi Jiu with a complicated expression. He couldn’t bear to see him like this. He scratched his head and gritted his teeth. “Shi Jiu, if you want to leave, leave. I’ll let you go. You can leave whenever you want. I won’t come after you.”
Shi Jiu quickly said seriously, “Brother, don’t say that. The wedding is imminent. I won’t leave. I can’t promise anything, but 1 swear that as long as I’m Shi Jiu, I won’t abandon Huaixiao.”
Tang Huaijin was a little touched. “Shi Jiu, you’re a good person. Although my sister is a little special, she’s not a bad person. If you keep pestering her, you’ll soften her heart sooner or later.”
Shi Jiu smiled back in embarrassment. “Brother, I know she’s not a bad person.”
Tang Huaijin looked at Shi Jiu in satisfaction. Seeing that he was fine, he patted him on the shoulder. “1 still have something on. I’ll leave first.”
Shi Jiu nodded. “Take care, Brother.”
Tang Huaijin left.
…..
Shi Jiu sent him off. When Tang Huaijin was completely out of sight, he returned to the house.
Tang Huaijin left the courtyard and went to another courtyard.
Yue Ying nodded slightly when he saw him.
Tang Huaijin asked him. “Where is Huaixiao?”
Yue Ying pointed to the back room.
Tang Huaijin strode over and knocked on the door. “Tang Huaixiao, open the door.”
Tang Huaixiao, who was in the room, did not move. She rolled up the drawing paper and put it into the cabinet. Immediately after that, she heard a bang. She did not open the door, but Tang Huaijin kicked it open anyway.
He barged in angrily the next second and shouted. “Can you be gentler next time? Is Shi Jiu’s body made of iron? Don’t you know how strong you are? How could you push him like that?”
Tang Huaixiao frowned. “It’s not like I’m stopping him from leaving. He can go at any time. That way, I can’t hit him even if I want to, but he just won’t leave no matter what.”
She seemed to have used a little too much strength just now, causing him to stagger. Fortunately, Tang Huaijin came in time to help Shi Jiu up.
Tang Huaixiao was a little angry. She was not someone who would flare up casually. It was all Shi Jiu’s fault for not leaving. Hence, he deserved to be injured.
Hearing Tang Huaixiao’s words, Tang Huaijin was furious. “Tang Huaixiao, if you dare to touch him again, I’ll tell Father and Mother what you did. See if they will hit you! Behave yourself. You’re about to get married. Shi Jiu is not going anywhere.”
Tang Huaijin gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he was ready to fight Tang Huaixiao at any time.
Tang Huaixiao looked at Tang Huaijin. “Brother, we won’t be together for long. Have you forgotten the curse of the Tang family? Have you forgotten how Aunt died at that time?”
Tang Huaijin’s expression changed. “1 don’t care. If he dares to betray you, I’ll definitely kill him.”
He would really kill the person who dared to betray his sister.
Tang Huaixiao smiled sadly. “Brother, why do you have to do this? Instead of all this, it’s better for me to never get married. I’m fine with being single like this. 1 just have to bear the curse alone. I don’t want my child to continue to bear it.”
Tang Huaijin frowmed, the veins on his forehead bulging.
After a while, he said, “Shi Jiu is doing it willingly. No one is forcing him to do this. If he doesn’t want to leave, you can’t force him to do that either. Don’t talk to me about the future. 1 only care about the present.”
Tang Huaixiao frowned. Why couldn’t she get through to her brother, no matter what? She had said so much, but it was all in vain.
Tang Huaijin continued. “I will remove this damn curse one day.”
Tang Huaixiao shook her head depressingly. If it could be removed, the Tang family wouldn’t have to suffer so much over the years.
She replied with a sigh. “Brother, do whatever you want. Anyway, 1 won’t change my mind. We saved Shi Jiu from a place near the capital. He’s not an ordinary person. His marriage is not something he can decide alone.”
At the mention of this, Tang Huaijin became even more determined. “You’re right. If not for the fact that we wanted to save his life, we might have already found Miss Liu. It was not easy for us to travel all the way to the capital, but in the end, all our efforts were in vain. How many times did we encounter assassins who wanted his life? We narrowly escaped death on several occasions. Even if Shi Jiu dies, he has to die in our Tang family. He owes his life to us.”
Tang Huaixiao let out a long breath. “Brother, please leave. I’m going to get changed.”
She wanted to force Shi Jiu to leave, but if Tang Huaijin stopped her, she would not succeed.
She wanted to persuade Tang Huaijin, but in the end, he became even more determined. They had saved Shi Jiu a few times. If Shi Jiu dared to betray them, he didn’t deserve to live.
Tang Huaijin said to Tang Huaixiao, “I heard that Miss Liu is very capable. Don’t worry. After a year or two, we’ll go to the capital to look for A^iss Liu. She might have a way to remove this curse.”
Tang Huaixiao didn’t know what to say anymore. “Do whatever you want!”
Tang Huaijin nodded seriously. “Then, 1’11 leave first.”
Seeing that he looked so hopeful, Tang Huaixiao couldn’t help but remind him. “Brother, don’t get your hopes up. Even the Cloud Breaking Sect couldn’t remove the curse.”
Tang Huaijin nodded. “I understand.”
Did he have hope? Yes, he did, but there was not too much of it. He went to look for the famous Miss Liu just because he did not want to let go of any chance.
As long as there was a famous psychic, the Tang family would go out of their way to find them. The world was so big and there were so many capable people. They did not know if the curse could be removed. They only knew that they would not miss any possible opportunities.
After Tang Huaijin left, Tang Huaixiao sighed. When she thought of the trip to the capital this time, she felt a little dejected. Since they saved Shi Jiu, they couldn’t enter the capital and had to return in a hurry.
Tang Huaijin felt that Shi Jiu owed them a lot for saving his life. However, he forgot the fact that Shi Jiu had lost his memory.. If he remembered everything, would he still be so determined to marry her?
