Ugh...
Xia He and Dong Xue stared right into each other's eyes.
They appeared as if they were about to let out a sigh.
They were naturally aware of Li Mubai's 'villain' identity.
From what they could understand, Li Mubai had a love-hate relationship with Xiao Qingcheng, so he kept bullying Xiao Qingcheng...
Speaking as such, they considered Young Master to be a 'pitiful person'!
The two women couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.
Looking into Li Mubai's eyes, they actually felt a bit of heartache for him.
Li Mubai didn't know what they were thinking.
If he did know, he would have thought that these two little two-faced women were brain-dead...
*****
Near the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Qingcheng sped all the way down the mountain in pain.
On her previous ice-cold and refined face, tears now kept rolling down her cheeks.
Why?!
Why?! Li Mubai had obviously taken all of her first...
And yet, he still treated her so coldly.
He, Li Mubai, was a bastard!
He was such a bastard!
Aggrieved thoughts kept running in Xiao Qingcheng's mind...
And she ran all the way to the foot of the mountain.
As Li Mubai had already instructed the Li family secret guards who were stationed there in advance, seeing Xiao Qingcheng who was speeding down, no one tried to stop her.
But as Xiao Qingcheng happened to arrive at the foot of the mountain, she actually met with her Xiao family members who were on the way there.
"Dad!"
The Patriarch of the Xiao family was Xiao Qingcheng's father, Xiao Hailong.
There was a group of Xiao family elders following behind Xiao Hailong.
Everyone present at this moment had a haggard look on their faces.
Xiao Qingcheng who was speeding down abruptly stopped seeing her own father there.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Xiao Qingcheng spoke with a grieving expression.
But to her surprise, she was greeted by Xiao Hailong's harsh and bitter voice.
"Xiao Qingcheng, Do you even know that you have done such a great thing?!"
Behind him, the group of elders of the Xiao family also looked at Xiao Qingcheng with hostility and resentment.
"Just because of you, the entire Xiao family had landed into a pit with no hope of reprieve!"
"The Xiao family is the one that raised you. Is this how you repay the Xiao family?!"
"..."
"I... I..."
The two tearstains on Xiao Qingcheng's cheeks had not yet dried.
When she now was being gazed at with eyes like wild beasts and hostile wolves, her body subconsciously trembled.
The owners of these eyes were not strangers but her own Xiao family elders, uncles, and aunts, who previously had very high regard for her...
But their eyes at this moment were filled with endless hostility, resentment, indifference, and even hatred...
They appeared as if they couldn't wait to rip her flesh and drink her blood...
The people there gave her a cold and detached feeling, the same one would feel when they were left alone in June during severe winter!
Xiao Qingcheng felt cold as if she had fallen into an icehouse!
It was as if a million arrows were repeatedly piercing her very own heart!
Hearing what everyone was saying about her, she was hit by a stabbing pain!
No one cared about what she herself had to go through these past days.
No one really cared.
And none of them even asked about her suffering.
The feeling that she was being wronged kept pouring into her heart like a torrent of river water.
"Because of what you have done, the old man had passed away last night!"
When Xiao Hailong uttered this sentence, Xiao Qingcheng, who had already fallen into the icehouse, turned stiff.
"Grandpa..."
Xiao Qingcheng muttered as her eyes went dull.
In the entire Xiao family, it was only the old man that really cared about what she felt.
But now, her grandpa had passed away due to what she had done...
"Before the old man died, he said he was very disappointed in you..."
Xiao Hailong continued.
Xiao Qingcheng had already turned numb to everything at this moment.
But when she heard that her grandpa was disappointed due to what she had done, her mind turned heavy. The last shred of hope that she had before in her heart vanished into thin air.
"But the old man said that only you can save the Xiao family. The old man had never begged anyone in his life. His last wish before his death was to ask me to beg you to save our Xiao family...
"He as a grandfather told me, the Xiao family Patriarch, to beg his granddaughter to save the Xiao family!"
Xiao Hailong said bitterly.
When Xiao Qingcheng lifted her head up, she couldn't even see a trace of love that a father would have for his daughter.
She couldn't help but look at her own Xiao family members and ask in melancholy. "Do... you think I should save the Xiao family?..."
"Xiao Qingcheng, you're the one that caused the problem. Only you must be held accountable. Don't drag the entire Xiao family with you!"
"Xiao Qingcheng, only you can beg Young Master Li to spare our Xiao family. You must be held accountable for this matter!"
"Xiao Qingcheng, As your aunt, I'm begging you. Please go and beg Young Master Li for the sake of our Xiao family and your grandfather's hard-earned foundation!"
"..."
...
Everyone was either raining down their curses at her or showing malice towards her.
No one really cared about her situation.
No one really cared about her feelings.
And no one really cared about what she would face if she goes to beg Li Mubai...
Xiao Qingcheng slowly closed her eyes.
At this moment all the grievances that were buried deep in her heart were swept away.
Her voice became cold, and her pair of cold eyes opened again. Her tone was without the slightest bit of emotion.
"I understand...
"It was the Xiao family that gave birth to me and nurtured me for so long. I will repay it this time. However, I will have to sever my relationship with the Xiao family!"
Wiping the tearstains at the corner of her eyes, Xiao Qingcheng coldly looked at the crowd, turned around, and began to make her way towards the mountainside.
