Chapter 864: Chapter 864: I Will Never Let You Down
He Yizheng’s once frenzied and twisted face finally began to calm down.
He slowly exhaled and looked at He Yirong, who was full of guard, and suddenly laughed, but the laughter was somewhat desolate.
“So, being an illegitimate child, that’s my original sin, right? No matter what I do, it’s useless.” He spoke hoarsely, as if mocking himself, yet unwilling.
For so many years, the reason he has been working so hard, even coveting the HI Group, ultimately comes down to escaping the identity of an illegitimate child.
He hoped that one day, others would forget this label on him.
But it was at this moment that he realized, some things cannot be changed by effort. Being born an illegitimate child meant there were certain things he could never have.
He Yirong steadied himself, looked at him, and shook his head gently, looking disappointed: “He Yizheng, do you believe that if you swapped identities with Jingyao, I would still value him more, even if he were an illegitimate child. The one who truly cannot forget this identity is you. According to your logic, everyone born unfortunate bears an original sin, because what they strive a lifetime for, you might be born with it all. Where do others go to reason?”
He Yizheng’s teeth chattered as he stared at him, not speaking for a long time.
“From now on, you have no relation to the HI Group or to me.” He Yirong’s voice was indistinguishable between joy and anger, “Take care of yourself.”
After saying this, he turned and left the conference room.
Xia Xinyu still held He Yizheng, her calm eyes devoid of any emotion.
After a long while, He Yizheng finally spoke lightly: “I’m fine now, Xinyu, let me go.”
Xia Xinyu obediently released her arms.
“You heard it too.” He Yizheng laughed self-deprecatingly, “From now on, I have nothing to do with the He Family; that old man almost left me with nothing. Are you still willing to follow me?”
“Of course.” Xia Xinyu smiled gently, “Loving you never had anything to do with your identity, whether you are an illegitimate child, whether your surname is He, whether you are poor or rich. I wanted to help you acquire the HI Group simply because it was your dream, but it never meant I cared.”
He Yizheng’s expression profoundly changed.
He looked at Xia Xinyu’s clean and beautiful face, grasped her chin, and kissed her fiercely!
After a long time, he let her go, his voice extremely hoarse: “Xinyu, luckily… I still have you.”
“Yizheng, it’s okay. Even without the HI Group, it doesn’t mean you are inferior to others.” Xia Xinyu’s voice was extremely gentle, “You can bounce back… I believe in you.”
He Yizheng’s Adam’s apple moved, and he nodded slightly, suddenly reaching out to pull her into his arms.
For so many years, his heart had been almost focused on one thing only, which was how to surpass He Jingyao and make the HI Group entirely his own.
But now, the dream was shattered, and possibly completely shattered.
So just that moment ago, looking at He Yirong, his hatred and murderous intent were irrepressible.
Fortunately, this woman stopped him. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
It was only now that he realized how much he should be grateful that this woman was still by his side. When he had almost nothing left.
“Xinyu, I will never let you down.” he said firmly in her ear.
Xia Xinyu placed her chin on his shoulder and silently curled her lips at his words.
She gently stroked his back, her voice as tender as water: “Me too.”
