Chapter 1012 - Letter For Xiao Tian

After taking the letter, Xiao Tian immediately opened it. He also showed the letter to Long Jingxian so that she could read it too.

[Young master Xiao]

*Thump…

Xiao Tian only read the first three words, but his heart suddenly beat hard for a second.

He was shocked when he read the words' young master Xiao.' All this time, Ru Guo never called him like this.

'Who is she? Why did she call me young master Xiao? Was she the reason why my chest hurt last night?'

Countless questions emerged in his mind.

Usually, only Lan Ruoxi called him like that because she knew about his background. That was why he was shocked when Ru Guo suddenly called him young master Xiao.

Like Xiao Tian, Long Jingxian was also startled.

'Why does teacher call him young master Xiao?'

Xiao Tian still had not revealed everything to her, so she still had no idea that he was from the famous Xiao family.

After looking at Xiao Tian for several seconds, Long Jingxian returned her attention to the letter again.

[Young master Xiao, I'm so happy to be able to meet you before I die. I'm sure you are curious as to why I'm calling you young master Xiao.

Actually, I was one of your father's subordinates. Your father and mother took my younger brother and me to the Xiao family when they knew we were orphans and had a hard life.

In my eyes, your parents are like angels. They always treated us well and cared about us. We are lucky to be able to meet them in our lives.

But instead of repaying their kindness, I did something terrible to them and you. I betrayed you.]

Xiao Tian had complicated feelings at this moment. He did not expect that Ru Guo was one of his father's subordinates.

But a wave of anger suddenly appeared within him when he found out that Ru Guo betrayed his parents in the past. 

However, Xiao Tian suppressed the anger within him because he wanted to know the reason why Ru Guo decided to betray his parents.

Long Jingxian shifted her gaze from the letter to Xiao Tian.

'Xiao Tian…'

Countless questions appeared in her mind.

Like Xiao Tian, she was shocked when she found out that her teacher was one of his father's subordinates.

All this time, Ru Guo always behaved normally when she was with Xiao Tian. She even acted as if they had never met before.

Even though there were many questions in her mind, Long Jingxian did not ask anything and returned her attention to the letter.

[Actually, I did not want to betray them because they were our saviors. But I had no choice because the other members of the Xiao family took my younger brother as a hostage.

My younger brother was my only family in this world, so I had to protect him. I knew that I had done an unforgivable thing to my saviors, but my little brother would die if I did not do that.]

Xiao Tian's anger instantly disappeared when he found out the reason why Ru Guo betrayed his parents in the past.

'It's Xiao family again!'

The hatred he had for the Xiao family increased drastically in a second.

[Now that my younger brother had passed away, I decided to run away from the Xiao family because I did not want to work under them.

Young master Xiao, I knew that I made a big mistake to you and your parents, but I hope you and your parents can forgive me. 

I really did not want to betray your family. I really did not want to betray your family, but my younger brother was so important to me.] 

When Ru Guo wrote this part, tears fell down her cheeks. 

Xiao Tian's parents had helped her change her life, but she betrayed them instead of repaying their kindness.

This was the main reason why she never had a peaceful life because the guilt feelings kept haunting her.

That feeling of guilt kept popping up inside her every time she slept, ate, or did anything else.

But she had to stay strong because her younger brother was waiting for her to cure him.

[Even though I could not meet your parents, but I was already happy because I could meet you before I died.

Young master Xiao, I actually wanted to reveal everything when I met you. However, I could not do that because I did not want to put you in danger again.

I really wanted to atone my mistake to you and your family, but I was afraid that my action could break the promise between your father and the Xiao family.]

Actually, Ru Guo wanted to write that Long Jingxian was her last gift to him. Yes. The reason why Ru Guo took Long Jingxian as her student was because of Xiao Tian.

But she changed her mind and decided not to write it because she did not want to hurt Long Jingxian's feelings.

Ru Guo was sure that as long as Xiao Tian and Long Jingxian were still lovers, Long Jingxian would keep supporting him in the future.

Xiao Tian stopped reading the letter for several seconds.

'Promise? Is this the reason why the Xiao family never touch me and my family until now? But what kind of promise is this?'

His mother never said anything about the promise between his father and the Xiao family, so Xiao Tian knew nothing about this.

'Is this the reason why my father never visits me until now?'

Xiao Tian suddenly thought the reason why his father never visited him was related to his promise to the Xiao family.

'But this doesn't make senses!'

In his view, it did not make sense that his father's promise to the Xiao family could stop him from meeting his father.

Long Jingxian looked at Xiao Tian again.

'Xiao Tian, what is your family background? Why does your family have such complicated things like this?'

At this moment, Long Jingxian realized something.

'Teacher suddenly wanted me to be her student and she was one of his father's subordinates. His father never visits him until now, and there is also a promise between his father and the Xiao family.'

She felt that everything was no coincidence. 

'Teacher did not reveal everything because she did not want to put him in danger. Teacher knows that Xiao Tian and I are lovers. She also keeps praising him and wants me to always support him.'

Long Jingxain's eyes widened when she realized something.

'The promise, subordinates, and family problem. Don't tell me….'

Long Jingxian was a clever lady, so she could understand everything instantly.

At this moment, she was sure the reason why Ru Guo suddenly wanted her to be Ru Guo's student was that she was Xiao Tian's lover.

Ru Guo could not teach her skills to Xiao Tian because her actions could break the promise between his father and the Xiao family.

Ru Guo did not want to put Xiao Tian in danger too. 

'Then, her only option is me.'

Long Jingxian was sure it was because she and Xiao Tian was a couple.

'So this is the reason why teacher wants me to keep supporting him.'

Long Jingxian finally knew the truth.

[Young master Xiao, if there is next life, I hope we can become family. At that time, I promise not to repeat the same mistake again.

Young master Xiao, even though the distance between us now is far, but I will continue to watch over you from heaven.

I hope God will always protect you.

Love, Aunt Ru]

At this moment, several memories suddenly appeared in Xiao Tian's mind.

"Young master Xiao, do you like it?" Ru Guo said after giving Xiao Tian a remote control car.

Another memory appeared in his mind.

"Young master Xiao, don't run in this place. It's dangerous!" Ru Guo ran towards Xiao Tian with a worried face.

Another memory appeared in his mind.

"Young master Xiao, why are in my office? Do you want to play with me again?" Ru Guo asked as she smiled softly.

A drop of tear suddenly fell from Xiao Tian's right eye. At this moment, Xiao Tian finally remembered everything about Ru Guo or what they did together in the past.

"Aunt Ru…" Xiao Tian mused unconsciously.

Even though the person who had memories with Ru Guo in the past was his predecessor, but he felt as if it was him.

He felt as if he was the one who spent time with Ru Guo in the past.

Long Jingxian felt even sadder when she saw a single tear on Xiao Tian's right cheek. "Xiao Tian…."

At this moment, she knew that Xiao Tian had a close relationship with Ru Guo in the past. It would be impossible for him to cry if their relationship was not close.

'It seems like he finally remembers who master is.'

Because a single tear had fallen from Xiao Tian's right eye, Long Jingxian was sure that Xiao Tian remembered who Ru Guo was.

Terrifying light flashed across Xiao Tian's eyes.

'Xiao family. I will remember this. I will make you pay a hundred times in the future.'

Since he could not do anything to the Xiao family now, he decided to keep his anger and hatred within him and let it out in the future.

Xiao Tian then looked at Jingxian and spoke, "Let's find her corpse now."

"Un." Long Jingxian nodded her head.

Even though Ru Guo forbade them to go to her house, Xiao Tian did not care about it. Long Jingxian and Xiao Tian tried to find her corpse, but they could not find it.

For this reason, they returned to the cave before finally sitting on the cliff.
