Chapter 786 Yuan Xi’s Family Background
On the same New Year’s Eve, Ding Tong’s situation was more tragic than Song Yunxuan’s.
After Ding Tong watched the splendid fireworks blooming in the night sky, she lowered her eyes and put her eyes on Yuan Xi who was lying on the big bed.
Yuan Xi was not asleep, but his eyes were tightly wrapped in white bandages.
He couldn’t see anything. He could only be immersed in the boundless darkness.
He asked Ding Tong with his lips, “What time is it?”
“Eleven o’clock.” Ding Tong answered.
Hearing Ding Tong’s answer, Yuan Xi smiled and said, “One hour later is the New Year.”
“Yes. It’s a pity you can’t see anything.”
Ding Tong said in a low voice.
Yuan Xi’s smile disappeared.
It had been more than half a month since he returned to Yuncheng to recuperate. As time passed, the hope in Ding Tong’s heart became increasingly diminished.
She had thought Yuan Xi could be cured.
However, the injury continued to improve, which made Ding Tong completely desperate.
“I couldn’t see anything anymore.” Yuan Xi said with his lips.
Ding Tong looked up and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Whether you are blind or not, I will serve you and take care of you.”
When Yuan Xi heard Ding Tong’s words, a smile appeared on his face.
If Ding Tong was willing to stay by his side forever, he would not be so lonely for the rest of his life.
He raised his hand, seeming to want to hold something.
Ding Tong reached out, and Yuan Xi held her fingers. He said, “I didn’t understand peaceful life in the past. Now I am blind. I hope to settle down and live peacefully even more than before.”
Watching his lips moving slightly, Ding Tong read his lips.
“But, my Master…”
“Let’s leave.” Yuan Xi’s lips made some hoarse voices.
Listening to these hoarse sounds from Yuan Xi’s throat, Ding Tong felt that her entire heart was being cut by a knife, which made her awfully sad.
She leaned to Yuan Xi and kissed his lips gently to stop him from continuing to speak.
She just kissed Yuan Xi tenderly. She blocked his mouth and didn’t want to hear him again.
When Yuan Xi felt Ding Tong kissing himself, his hands held Ding Tong’s fingers.
Ding Tong didn’t want him to speak, so he obediently did not speak.
He just kissed her like this.
Ding Tong’s heart was suffering and full of resentment.
It appeared that she would get her reward after the days of unrequited love and would successfully marry the man she loved all the time.
However, Song Yunxuan hurt her beloved man to this point.
She would not forgive Song Yunxuan. She would never forgive Song Yunxuan.
It seemed that Yuan Xi could feel the hatred in Ding Tong’s heart. His fingers fumbled on Ding Tong’s face.
Ding Tong raised her head and looked at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi started to speak with his lips again, “Let’s leave here. Don’t take revenge on Song Yunxuan. Stop it and let’s leave, shall we?”
After being harmed, Yuan Xi lost his previous ambitions.
It seemed that all his ambitions and plans in the past disappeared like bubbles. He did not mention them.
And he persuaded Ding Tong to leave Yuncheng out of character.
Yuan Xi tried to persuade her not to continue fighting with Song Yunxuan.
But how could Ding Tong give up like this?
Song Yunxuan turned Yuan Xi into this way, so Ding Tong would never let Song Yunxuan live well.
Ding Tong smiled and said to Yuan Xi, “My Master, what are you worried about me? Now Song Yunxuan has no way to hurt me.”
Yuan Xi said, “You don’t know how terrible Song Yunxuan is. She is not someone you can beat easily.”
“My Master, believe me. For so many years, who can stop me from what I want to do?”
Yuan Xi recalled for a while. She was right. For so many years, everything she wanted to do was perfectly done by her.
With Ding Tong’s outstanding ability, Yuan Xi could climb up in the mysterious and low-key Yuan Family step by step over the years.
He let those who once despised him look up at him now.
However, the more people looked up to him,
the greater his ambition became. He shouldn’t have come to Yuncheng.
However, he wanted to prove himself and to make himself more valued by people in the Yuan Family.
He wanted to prove that he was not a worthless b*st*rd.
Therefore, he wanted to defeat Song Yunxuan.
He plotted to kill Gu Miaomiao. And he caused himself to become what he was now.
Ding Tong took a breath and comforted him, “My Master, don’t worry. I will let Song Yunxuan pay the debt.”
“But…”
Yuan Xi still wanted to stop her.
However, Ding Tong didn’t want to continue listening to Yuan Xi’s words. She let go of Yuan Xi and said, “My Master, you should get some rest.”
“Aren’t you accompanying me on New Year’s Eve?”
Yuan Xi asked Ding Tong.
Ding Tong smiled, “When you wake up tomorrow, it will be a new year. See you tomorrow morning.”
“But…”
“All right, my Master, don’t make me unhappier.”
Yuan Xi closed his mouth.
He knew that Ding Tong was the most sorrowful for him to be like this.
Seeing him calm down and stop talking, Ding Tong pulled up the covers for Yuan Xi, covered him with the quilt, stood up, and left the room.
As soon as Ding Tong went out, more splendid fireworks began to rise in the night sky outside.
Seeing those fireworks exploding and blooming one after another in the dark sky, she narrowed her eyes slightly and walked downstairs.
Lying on the bed, Yuan Xi couldn’t see anything but could hear the faint voice coming from outside.
He fumbled out of the bed. In his own dark world, he completely relied on his hands to explore the things around him.
Then, when he fumbled for the window, he drew the curtains and opened the window.
After the window was opened, his eyes felt a little faint light.
He felt bright for a while and dark for a while. It seemed that something suddenly lit up and quickly dimmed.
He quietly listened to the sound coming from the air.
He also used his nose to gently smell the subtle smell in the air.
The cold wind blew the tip of his nose. The chilling cold penetrated his body.
Yuan Xi held himself tightly. In his mind, he began to recall how he was when he was a child.
Tears couldn’t help streaming from his eyes.
However, his eyes were already covered by the thick bandage.
He had lost his eyes. The tears from the eye sockets penetrated the bandage. The color was like blood.
It was cruel and melancholy.
After a long time, the New Year’s bell rang.
On the bandage around Yuan Xi’s eyes, thick blood had seeped out.
No one told him New Year’s greetings.
He had nothing at all. Even Ding Tong was not by his side.
He heard a voice calling him right in front of him.
“Xi?”
Yuan Xi strained his ears to listen to this voice. As the voice became clearer and clearer, he became excited, “Mom. Mom. Is that you?”
“Xi? Come here, Xi. The New Year’s fireworks are so beautiful. Come on. I’ll take you to see them.”
Hearing his mother’s voice, Yuan Xi was thrilled and stretched out his hand, trying to grab something.
However, it was blank. He couldn’t catch anything.
He remembered that when he was a child, his mother took him to City A from the countryside where they had lived for seven or eight years. It was a city full of tall buildings and luxury cars.
A driver went around and took him to the front of a villa. That villa could only be found in fairy tale books, which was as beautiful as the palace.
The car drove into the gate.
His beautiful mother with fine wrinkles on her face happily took his hand and said, “Xi, we will live here in the future. Your father will love you well. He will educate you and make you the master of this family after you grow up.”
He heard these words from his mother.
And his heart was full of hope.
It seemed that he would live the life of a prince in the palace.
However, this kind of prince-like life made him feel irritated and scared after he saw the contempt and scorn of his brothers, his sisters, and his father. He was unwilling to continue living in this family.
Patting his little shoulder and looking at him with firm eyes full of deep resentment, his mother said word by word, “Xi, you have to take control of this family and be the master of this family.”
He didn’t understand anything, but he nodded ignorantly, “Yes.”
“You must become the master of this house. You have to turn those who despise you and me into ants under our feet.”
“Yes, mom.”
“You must let their lives be at our disposal.”
“Yes, mom.”
He knew that if he answered his mother obediently, her mother would become very happy.
As long as his mother became happy, she would hold him and smile at him.
However, his mother died the day after saying these things to him.
The wrinkles on his father’s face made him look like a ghost, serious and terrible.
His father looked at him and said, “You are just the child of a prostitute. You are not allowed to sit at the same table for dinner with your brothers and sisters in the future.”
His father’s words made young Yuan Xi feel despised and embarrassed.
While his brothers and sisters looked at him, it seemed that they were looking at an adopted stray dog. They were scornful and thought Yuan Xi was ridiculous.
Amidst the laughter of the people, he was driven to eat with the gardeners and servants at home.
Since he was a child, he had been the lowest person in this big family.
But what happened later?
Later, as the most disliked son, he was adopted by an uncle who everyone in the family hated.
Then, he got Ding Tong.
Using Ding Tong, he used various methods to chop off the heads of people who had laughed at him.
He was the only one left of the original huge Yuan Family in his generation.
However, he got rid of all charges.
He was the most powerful person in the Yuan Family and the owner of the Yuan Family.
He proved this to his relatives. He made his relatives who had despised him fear him very much.
He did what he promised his mother.
