Chapter 139 - Dont Hurt Me Anymore

Chapter 139 - Don't Hurt Me Anymore

Xiao Guan arrived at DuXing Hospital half an hour later after he texted Xiao Mei.

When he arrived at the room where Xiao Mei was currently resting, MinDe was nowhere to be seen.

"Xiao Mei..."

Xiao Guan looked at his daughter who was lying on the bed.

"Dad, you’re here?"

Xiao Mei smiled at him.

*cough*

Xiao Guan cleared his throat before walking inside. He directly sat on the bed and placed his hands on her.

"How are you? Are you okay? Why are you hospitalized, ahhh? You should have informed me a while ago."

Xiao Guan sounded so concerned about Xiao Mei’s health.

Although she knew that her father only showed her his fake kindness, Xiao Mei still could not help but feel happy when he asked those questions.

"Mmm.. I’m fine... Dad, I’m sorry that I was not able to see you. I fainted and I just woke up a moment ago."

"It’s okay... It’s okay... I’m not angry.. Dad also wants to apologize about what happened few days ago.."

He affectionately patted her hands.

Xiao Mei smiled and nodded but she did not say anything.

Xiao Guan felt embarrassed. He did not know what to say anymore to prolong their conversation.

Since Xiao Mei only smiled, Xiao Guan was forced to continue talking.

When he was not able to say anything after a few minutes, the air suddenly turned awkward.

Xiao Mei was sure to herself that Xiao Guan visited the hospital because he wanted something from her.

*cough*

*cough*

When Xiao Guan could not tolerate the silence any longer, he decided to directly ask Xiao Mei.

"Ah Mei, have you forgiven Dad?"

Xiao Mei nodded but her heart suddenly felt vexed.

"Then can you help me? You see, the selection for the next head of our clan is almost over. Once your grandfather returns, he will publicly announce the successor.

Ah Mei ahh... In these past few years, Dad worked so hard for the company. Since you captured the heart of Lu Family’s Second Young Master, your status within the Lu Family is definitely not low, can you speak with Lu MinDe and ask him to help me in achieving my goal to become the family head?

Once I become the next Patriarch, your status will also alleviate. Although, it is not on par with Second Young Master Lu’s status, as long as you give birth to a son, the title of Second Young Mistress will definitely fall in your hands.

Ah Mei ahh.. You are my daughter. Dad only wanted to help you. So what can you say? Can you help me convince Second Young Master Lu?"

Xiao Guan’s eyes were full of expectations.

Xiao Mei closed her eyes and smiled painfully.

"So as your daughter, I have to convince MinDe to support you?"

Xiao Guan Nodded.

"Of course!! It’s your duty as my daughter!! Ahh! That’s right... Ah Mei ahh... Your grandfather called few minutes ago.. he--he said that I can no longer participate in the selection.. can you--- can you he----"

"You’re asking me to coax grandfather and make him retract his word?"

Before Xiao Guan finished his words, Xiao Mei already intercepted and finished it on her own accord.

"That’s right ah!! HAHAHA!! You are indeed my child!! You know exactly what I think!! Good!! Good!!"

Xiao Guan laughed.

This was the first time Xiao Guan felt delighted towards his daughter.

Xiao Mei pulled her hands and stared at him.

"Dad.... Grandfather might have a reason as to why he decided to pull you out of the selection. Can’t you retreat and focus on mom? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the both of you."

"Impossible!!!"

Xiao Guan stood up.

"Why would I do that?! Xiao Mei, if you don’t want to help me, just say so!! No need to pretend that you care!!"

Xiao Mei shook her head as she inwardly mocked herself.

"Dad.... Do you love me?"

Xiao Guan was taken aback when he heard Xiao Mei’s question.

"O-of course ahh!"

It took a moment for him to answer.

"Really?"

Xiao Mei laughed painfully.

"Dad... If you really love me then you must know my favorite fruit."

"Of course ah! Why wouldn’t I know? Its---"

Xiao Guan looked at the table and saw a bunch of apples inside a container.

"Apples!! You like Apples!"

He proudly answered.

Xiao Mei shook her head.

"Then what’s my favorite flower?"

Xiao Guan snorted.

"Rose! You like roses!"

Xiao Guan chose roses because almost all the women liked roses.

Once again, Xiao Mei shook her head.

"My favorite fruit is not apple. I love strawberries. Rose is not my favorite flower... I don’t have a favorite flower because I’m allergic to pollen."

Xiao Mei stared at Xiao Guan’s eyes.

"Dad... You never really cared about me. Did you know? Since birth, I craved for your love. I always did my best to make you notice me but I failed.

I failed a million times.

Dad... Please... I beg you... Don’t hurt me anymore..."

Xiao Mei did not know if it was because of her pregnancy but the pain she felt inside her heart intensified and she could not stop her tears from falling.

Xiao Guan was left speechless. His face burned not only because he was not able to answer her questions correctly but also because of her plea.

"I---"

He tried to reason out but when he opened his mouth to say something, he could not find the courage to speak.

He could only stare at her foolishly.

That was the scene MinDe saw when he arrived at the room.

When he saw Xiao Mei crying, he hurriedly walked towards her and placed the strawberries he bought on the table.

When Xiao Guan saw the strawberries, his face contorted.

He suddenly felt ashamed. He remembered what his father said.

’I really am the lowest...’

Xiao Guan realized that ever since Xiao Mei was born, he never once carried her. He never once tried to show his love as a parent.

All these years, he was never a father to her.

"I--- I’m sorry.. I will... I promise I will not disturb you anymore.. Ah Mei... Please forgive me for being a worthless dad."

Without looking at both of them, Xiao Guan hurriedly left.
