Chapter 579: Cruel Truth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Qingyuan would never forget how his grandfather had looked at him with a ferocious and vicious smile back then. His face had been twisted.
“Yes, I administered the poison. But I was going to give it to you. Why didn’t you drink it? Why?”
Shao Qingyuan thought about it and remembered that his grandfather had indeed poured him a glass of water that day, saying that he had worked hard and that his grandfather could not help. Being sick, at most, his grandfather could only pour him a glass of water.
Shao Qingyuan was about to drink when Li Chunxiang came to find trouble and pushed Grandpa Li down.
Shao Qingyuan quickly helped Grandpa Li into the house to rest. When he came out again, Li Chunxiang had already run away in fear.
As for the glass of water on the table, after the commotion just now, it had all spilled out. More than half of it had spilled on the plate of cut peaches on the table.
Shao Qingyuan had specially bought the peaches for his grandfather. Li Chunxiang had even taken half of them just now.
Shao Qingyuan gave the remaining half of the peaches to his grandfather. Anyway, the glass of water was clean, so there was no need to wash the peaches again.
Neither of them expected that the peaches had already been poisoned.
It was unknown where Grandpa Li found this poison. After taking this poison, one’s reaction would be slow and their limbs would be stiff, as if they had a stroke.
Shao Qingyuan froze. He didn’t understand why his grandfather would give him such poison.
Grandpa Li was already awake at this moment. After knowing that he had said something he shouldn’t have said in his dream, he didn’t panic. Instead, he quickly calmed down.
There was no longer any love in his eyes when he looked at Shao Qingyuan, only coldness and disgust.
Then, Shao Qingyuan heard the truth from him.
“Why did I feed you poison? Of course, it’s to make you wish you were dead.” Grandpa Li smiled as he spoke. “I didn’t pick you up from the mountains at all. Your father and grandmother personally handed you to me.”
He looked at Shao Qingyuan’s stunned expression, and his eyes were filled with joy. “When you were born, your mother died, and she died especially tragically. When you were a month old, your biological brother fell ill. Two months later, your father’s business suffered a huge blow. Your grandmother found an expert to read your fortune and found out that you had a tough life. If you continue to stay at home, your family will be wiped out and you won’t have any descendants.”
Shao Qingyuan’s face turned pale, but he listened without moving.
“The expert said that if they wanted to change your family’s fate, they could only send you away. Not only must they send you away, but they also had to suppress your fate. The more miserable you are, the better. Only then will your family become richer and richer. In the future, they will have many children and grandchildren, and the family will prosper. Therefore, your father personally handed you to me and instructed me to watch over you. I can’t let you die, nor can I let you have a promising future. You can’t have friends, leave your hometown, and must be trapped in this small Yongfu Village. It’s best to be depressed for the rest of your life. Hahaha, look, you’re so pitiful. Your life is a joke. No one cares about you.”
Shao Qingyuan only felt depressed and his vision darkened. After a long time, he said with difficulty, “Then you were so nice to me…”
“In order to make sure that you can’t leave the Li family and Yongfu Village, do you know what’s the most important thing to restrain a person? Of course, it’s to hold his feelings and make him unable to let go. I’m very successful, right?”
Shao Qingyuan looked at the person in front of him. The person was so unfamiliar that he didn’t seem to recognize him.
