Chapter 197 Hatred
Ling Xiaoyang stopped and turned around, looking at Ling Haoran with extremely complicated and entangled eyes. After a moment, he quickly walked to the edge of the bed.
She took the spittoon placed beside her and brought it to Ling Haoran to help him continue. Seeing that he couldn't stop coughing, she wanted to reach out to pat his back, but the contact that had already made her unfamiliar still caused resistance in her heart. Her hand stopped in the air for a while, but it still took it back.
After a while, Ling Haoran finally stopped coughing, his face turned pale as paper and leaned against the bed and gasped. Ling Xiaoyang couldn't bear to see it, so he quickly took the opportunity of putting the spittoon and turned his body aside.
"Sit down. I've been hiding these words for a long time. I'll tell you when there's still a chance today."
When Ling Xiaoyang put down the spittoon, Ling Haoran looked at her calmly, and his tone was indescribable and serious. Ling Xiaoyang was stunned, and he struggled for a while and finally walked to the bed to sit down. No matter what Ling Haoran said, she would keep the principles in her heart. After sitting down, Ling Xiaoyang warned herself in her heart.
"I know you hate me because I exchanged myself for the person you care the most for now. I haven't been looking for you for so many years, and Huo Linran... cough cough..."
Ling Haoran coughed again, and Ling Xiaoyang didn't move. Although her face was calm and the turmoil in her heart was aroused again, looking at Ling Haoran's appearance, she wanted to listen, because as he said, there was still a chance today, and even if he would be fine tomorrow, she would not be able to stay.
Although she didn't understand how the Huo family made enemies with Ling Haoran, she wanted to find an answer to so many complicated and contradictory questions in her heart. Even if it was persuasive, it could at least make her feel relieved and not be so painful.
"Huo Linran is indeed a rare genius. If it weren't for the grudge between our two families, I wouldn't have opposed you being with him..."
After calming down again, Ling Haoran said slowly, his tone was surprisingly calm. Ling Xiaoyang was a little surprised at first because she actually heard Ling Haoran say words to praise Huo Linran, but then she felt very ironic. Is this the same appreciation for the enemy's chess and opponents?
Ling Haoran then began to slowly tell the process of getting to know the Huo family and the Ling family. It turned out that the two families knew each other from the beginning and had a lot of connections.
Both the Ling family and the Huo family made their fortune in Nanyang. When Ling Xiaoyang's grandfather was young, the first to travel across the ocean to the Philippines to start a furniture business. The Huo family was engaged in sea-ship transportation. The Ling family later set up the manufacturing and processing part in China, and then transported the finished furniture to the countries in Nanyang by ship. The two families got to know each other because of this. After getting familiar with each other, they became friends who cooperated with each other in business. The Ling family exported furniture, and the Huo family helped with transportation. At the same time, they started to do jewelry business. The two families cooperated and helped each other in business, because one thing became a close friend.
According to Ling Haoran, the Ling family customized a batch of furniture at the request of the royal family. The materials and craftsmanship are of the highest quality. A set of furniture is expensive. In order to protect the safe arrival of this batch of furniture, the Huo family sent the largest ship in the fleet. However, by chance, the Huo family also obtained a batch of valuable antiques from China. Some people in the South China Sea were eager to transport them over at a high price. Huo Tingyuan, the old man of the Huo family, valued credit, so he discussed with the Ling family that only half of the money for transporting furniture, transported the batch of jewelry and furniture together. At the same time, the Huo family's family was going to move to Nanyang and never return to China. After Ling Xiaoyang's great-grandfather agreed, the jewelry and furniture were loaded on the boat at the same time, but the matter happened on the third day after the ship went to sea.
On the third day of going to sea, the Huo family's ship met pirates. The storm was very strong that day. I don't know where to get the news that the Huo family wanted to transport jewelry. After the pirate boarded the ship, he asked the Huo family to hand over the jewelry, otherwise they would kill everyone. Ling Xiaoyang's grandfather discussed with Huo Linran's grandfather. Ling Xiaoyang's grandfather agreed to hand over the jewelry because he could save everyone's lives. However, Huo Linran's grandfather insisted on not doing this, and told Ling Xiaoyang a secret that he had not revealed. The buyer of that batch of jewelry was a person who could not afford to offend. Once there was a mistake this time, the whole family would not want to gain a foothold in Nanyang.
Ling Haoran thought he had just been engaged. He heard Grandpa Ling Xiaoyang and Huo Linran's grandfather argue in the room, and thought of Ling Xiaoyang's mother who was still waiting for him to go back at home. Seeing that the boat was not able to make any decisions, he took advantage of Grandpa Ling Xiaoyang's conversation with Grandpa Huo Linran to negotiate with the pirate leader. If the pirates were willing to cross them once, the money they bought the furniture after arriving in Nanyang this time will belong to them!
But the pirates simply disagreed and insisted on getting the jewelry. Seeing that the people on the boat were reluctant to hand over, they started killing people!
The extremely bloody massacre began. The pirates were all cruel and ruthless and chopped them up when they saw them. None of them, both young and young, were willing to let them go!
Ling Haoran and the strong young man on the ship began to resist. During the fight, he was injured. Seeing that things were like this, Huo Linran's grandfather and Ling Xiaoyang had to go out to save the whole ship's women and children, and then took a group of crew members to fight with the pirates!
During the process, Ling Haoran was stabbed by a pirate in order to save Huo Linran's grandfather, and the scar remains on his leg until now...
Ling Xiaoyang was surprised when he heard Ling Haoran. Unexpectedly, the Huo family and the Ling family had a good relationship. She couldn't help but be surprised. While she couldn't help thinking about the scene in her mind, she asked in her heart, since the Ling family and the Huo family had such a relationship at the beginning, why did they become enemies later?
"Ahem..."
Ling Haoran coughed again, and Ling Xiaoyang quickly went over and took a glass of water for him. He wanted to listen to him after he finished speaking. She always wanted to know why Ling Haoran killed Huo Linran's family? What happened later?
"Thanks."
Ling Haoran took Ling Xiaoyang's water cup and thanked him, looking a little tired on his face.
After he finished drinking the water, Ling Xiaoyang took it and put it in, and continued to sit by the bed and wanted to stop Ling Haoran and talk, but Ling Haoran suddenly stopped talking for some reason.
"What happened later?"
Seeing that he stopped talking for a long time, Ling Xiaoyang couldn't help asking.
Ling Haoran didn't speak, but his expression suddenly became very strange. His eyes returned to the previous cold. He stared at the head of the bed without saying a word. Ling Xiaoyang was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, Ling Haoran suddenly looked at her and said, "This is the thing in the world. A good start may not necessarily lead to a good result, so you should understand why I want you to marry Ren Zhengzhe..."
Hearing this, Ling Xiaoyang was stunned. Looking at Ling Haoran's hidden eyes, he suddenly understood that the reason he told her so much was to say the following sentence.
After Ling Xiaoyang was stunned, he was silent and his eyes moved elsewhere. What is this? Is his father's love? Or, in order not to let her become a burden for him to kill Huo Linran?
Thinking about Huo Linran, Ling Xiaoyang couldn't help but secretly sarcastic about Ling Haoran's plot. If Ling Haoran forced her to marry Ren Zhengzhe was considered fatherly love, then Huo Linran's approach was much greater than his. At least, he did not use his enemy's daughter to avenge him, but Ling Haoran has used himself to deal with Huo Linran more than once, and even did not hesitate to inject medicine into himself...
Regardless of why the Ling family and Huo family turned against each other, and what made the hatred between the two families develop to the point of extermination, Huo Linran lost to Ling Haoran just because of his ruthlessness, but Huo Linran's intelligence is far more clever than Ling Haoran!
Thinking of his lost relatives, Ling Xiaoyang really felt that Ling Haoran was suffering and retribution!
"He is very smart, and he is unprepared for a young age. When I received the news, it was too late..."
Ling Xiaoyang paused for a while and continued to speak, but wiped out the part that Ling Xiaoyang wanted to know the most in the middle. Ling Xiaoyang had no mood to listen. She could have guessed that fact. If it was the Huo family's fault, then Ling Haoran would definitely say it, so as to obtain the forgiveness of her daughter. If it weren't forbidden to say it, it must be because it was impossible to say it. It was too late? It was too late to watch the family be bombed to death? She suddenly felt that Huo Linran was right. If it weren't for being forced to the point of nowhere, how could he have made such a ruthless move!
Ling Xiaoyang chuckled and turned his head away. She didn't want to listen anymore. No matter what she said, she would not save the lives of the dead Huo family, and her mother, brothers, sisters and grandparents would not be resurrected. All this is a dead end...
Seeing Ling Xiaoyang turning his face coldly, Ling Haoran's voice stopped, and an indescribable complex look flashed in his eyes, with a hint of self-blame of being too little, but in just one second, he returned to his previous peace and unfathomable depth.
"No matter how you choose, I don't regret my original decision!"
Of course you don’t regret it, because you now have family again. As long as you live, you are hope, but other people’s hopes are destroyed...
Hearing Ling Haoran's words, Ling Xiaoyang sarcastically in his heart. In other words, the most important thing in your heart is not others, you are yourself, your chance to continue to live, and your glory and wealth!
"The reason I live to this day is because I can't let your mother die in vain..."
When Ling Haoran said this last sentence, a cold light flashed in his eyes, which made people shudder, but it touched Ling Xiaoyang's heart, because that look made her familiar with her, and love made her hate. Ling Haoran made that choice because of this!
She was sure she read it right, and she could not believe what Ling Haoran said, but she clearly saw the tears flashing in Ling Haoran's eyes, the pain of losing her favorite thing, although it flashed away, she clearly saw...
