Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1422: Kneel Down

Upon hearing what Old Master Xu said, Wang Cuixia couldn’t help but feel moved. After all, he was someone she once had feelings for, and if she truly let go, it would be impossible.

If she truly let go, wouldn’t the suffering she and her son endured over the years be something they deserved? And why didn’t he find them sooner all these years?

Regardless of what is said, Wang Cuixia doesn’t want to forgive this old man now. Isn’t everything he says ultimately for his own son? But if Xu Hua truly liked her back then, he wouldn’t have married the girl from the Hu Family.

So isn’t all this just a scheme by the Xu Family? The Xu Family only wants to save themselves, never considering saving anyone else.

The Xu Family is the best example of prioritizing self-interest, only thinking of themselves and not of others—that’s the selfish Xu Family.

Thinking of this, Wang Cuixia couldn’t help but sneer, looking at Old Master Xu: "Old Master Xu certainly deserves the title of the most formidable businessman nowadays. No matter what he thinks, he won’t let himself suffer losses. But I am just a wealthy person, and all I think about is my child and myself. Now, Old Master Xu wants to extend his reach to us mother and son, isn’t it a bit too much?"

"If Old Master Xu had this realization back then, perhaps our mother and son wouldn’t have ended up like this. Everyone has their place now, so why bring up the past? Bringing up the past is not a good memory, just a painful point in life. Do you think I would be grateful to you for that pain, Old Master Xu?"

If not for Old Master Xu’s interference, perhaps she would still be with Xu Hua now. Back then, they made a vow to be together forever, but never expected Old Master Xu to disrupt things.

Hearing Wang Cuixia constantly mention those sad events from the past, Old Master Xu felt a pang of pain. It was all his fault for insisting on breaking up Xu Hua and Yang Cuixia back then. Otherwise, this family might have been happy, and his grandson wouldn’t have ended up abroad.

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. But I sincerely wish to make amends, so please give me a chance. Now Xu Ke isn’t doing well; do you think that just because he left you, he can live a good life? But you never imagined that this child has fallen for the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, right?"

When Old Master Xu mentioned her son, Wang Cuixia felt a pang in her heart. Her son’s life abroad has always been something she couldn’t let go of. But what could she do?

And after her son left, he would surely keep his distance from the Xiao Family. So how could he possibly fall for the Xiao Family’s eldest daughter? Old Master Xu is just trying to confuse her.

Thinking of this, Wang Cuixia didn’t show any goodwill. Despite all these years, the old man is still so cunning.

"Their family’s eldest daughter is the dignified daughter of the Xiao Group, while my son is just an ordinary person. How could he possibly fall for someone like the moon? So stop trying to fool me like this; I’m not the same Wang Cuixia that the Xu Family could bully back then."

No matter what, she must withstand the bewilderment of this old man. In Wang Cuixia’s heart, this old man hasn’t left any good impression.

Seeing Wang Cuixia’s guarded stance, Old Master Xu couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Did he only bring suffering to these two? So much so that Wang Cuixia now refuses to believe anything.

But the Xu Group can’t be allowed to collapse under his watch. Thinking about this, Old Master Xu suddenly fell to his knees with a thud. Wang Cuixia was stunned and quickly stepped back.

"What are you doing? Don’t try to morally blackmail me; I will never yield. Besides, what the Xu Family did to us mother and son back then was truly unforgivable. What are you doing now? Everything is in the past, isn’t it good for everyone to be at peace? You are the esteemed Xu Family, and we are just ordinary civilians."

Despite her words, Wang Cuixia didn’t really want Old Master Xu to kneel. After all, he’s already over eighty, a high age, and people were starting to look over, which might cause embarrassment.

The men in black beside Old Master Xu tried to help him up, but Old Master Xu, knowing he was wrong and wanting to earn Wang Cuixia’s forgiveness, refused to rise easily.

"Listen to me; indeed, I was wrong back then. But could you give me a chance to atone and treat you mother and son well? Even if you don’t consider yourself, you should consider Xu Ke. He is just over twenty, with a lot of potential for development. He’s so smart and akin to his father. If the Xu Group were in his hands, I’m sure it would flourish. Don’t you want to see your son achieve success, instead of living a life of mediocrity, enduring the struggles of life?"

The old man’s words were particularly earnest, and despite being in a foreign country, there were common human aspects, such as emotion.

"What’s the matter here? This elderly man seems to be quite old, but the lady won’t forgive him, beyond a matter of disagreement. This old man is rather pitiful."

"Perhaps the elder has made mistakes. Can’t they just sit down and talk? It doesn’t look good to make a scene in public. Let’s advise the lady, lest she does something she regrets."

"This is their personal matter; we shouldn’t interfere. Besides, it doesn’t seem simple. Also, they seem to be foreigners, so what compassion do we have for them?"

Even though the languages differ abroad, Wang Cuixia understood that these people saw her as the one bullying the elderly. But who’s truly being bullied here?

People only look at the vulnerable and rarely consider if those truly bullied are getting fair and just treatment.

"You must be satisfied now, achieving your desired effect. I’m now under controversy because Old Master Xu has always been so good at business."

Wang Cuixia spoke, crossing her arms: "I am no longer the person who compromised for her child back then. Even if you kneel here pleading, I will never forgive what you did. So whether you rise or not is up to you, and I won’t soften because of others’ opinions. Softening once means an additional injustice we mother and son have to endure."

Upon hearing this, Xu Long was immediately embarrassed. It’s indeed his redemption attempt, but Wang Cuixia’s heart has become so steadfast.
