Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 208 205. Sacrifice..

On the road….

Meilin leaned back on the backseat as a hammering pain presented itself in the form of a headache.

She tried to close her eyes, but his memories haunted her… after she knew what he might be going through from that man yesterday, it felt like the headache became severe.

She had never used pain-killers, but as if, her soul and body wanted her to know what she had done and wanted her guilt to corrode her, the pain-killers didn’t work…as if, she was already resistant to the dosage, even she thought it was unscientific, but in the end, she gave up.

Ironically, when she was doing work, there was no headache… this was definitely a psychological issue, she knew it, but because of the time constraints, she wasn’t able to meet her counsellor as well… it really was the case of the world fighting against you!

Just when she wanted to do some work, she got a call from Qian Cheng.

Meilin held her forehead with one hand and picked the call with the other, “Speak…”, her voice remained cold, but it had definitely become feeble.

, he got into business straight away… on that note, Meilin was simply doing the job as a proxy to the chairman, but her position was definitely higher than her secretarial job so, most of them agreed to call her BOSS.

Meilin saw the mansion gates ahead and put her work aside and asked him to–

“continue…”

The throbbing pain masked parts of Qian Cheng’s speech, but Meilin got the gist of it… she wasn’t in a position where she had free time to deal with a scammer and directly chose to leave it.

If she was someone to get things like this to get under her skin, she won’t be sitting at her position… the thing about being ‘unable to find the other person’s IP’ ticked her off a little, but that was it… she still chose to ignore this…

Well, though she didn’t know it now, this decision she took today, will force her to make one of the biggest decision of her life in the near future….

Anyway, she can’t see the future and only chose a few words to describe her take on the matter, “It won’t hinder me…”

Qian Cheng didn’t ask further and respectfully asked her to take a good rest and cut-off the connection.

They finally reached the main mansion and Meilin got out of the car…

The head butler was waiting for her by the door with a gentle smile… many things have changed in these few days for her, but returning back home to this smile, which has remained the same for years now, Meilin felt her headache lessen a little.

The head butler greeted her and Meilin asked the other helpers to get the gifts out of the car for them all… they were already going through such a tumultuous and gloomy period and all Meilin could do was act the same, she didn’t want to add to what they all were going through.

The old man’s eyes glistened up a little, but he still continued with his work and as he asked her if she was doing fine, he walked her into the lounge area where the five of her direct family were sitting.

The moment they saw her as if they had practised it before, a look full of distress flashed by their eyes before they controlled their expression and gave her a smile.

Meilin didn’t pry much and nodded, ” It’s been a wh–”

“A’Mei!!”, he shocked voice of her grandmother cut off her voice and she felt something warm flow down her nose…

She confusedly touched it… it felt strangely sticky.

But before she could guess what happened, she saw black and the last thing she remembers was the cry of her family members calling her name…

THUD

Lev had run towards her the moment he saw her nose bleed, and caught her before she fell on the floor… his eyes laced with worry…

Meilin had fainted.

Well, her appetite was smaller than a little bird and she hadn’t slept a wink for 6 days now… this was bound to happen… she was also a normal human, you see.

It was actually a wonder how it took this long for her to fall… it was already quite abnormal.

Well, it was just a simple guess on the doctors part, but she probably felt relaxed after seeing their faces and the pent up stress and exhaustion finally caught up to her…

She might have crossed the limits of an average human, but she had really over exhausted herself and crossed her own limits this time as well…

…..

…..

Around a week ago….

ZiXuan was taken to a hall again, this time was fully lit… but that didn’t change the fact that, this place was also akin to a trauma.

He was already hurt and limping, but as the memories of this place flashed by his mind, ZiXuan felt like tonnes of lead was holding him back, they were heavy and so was his heart.

Wherever he went, he left a trail of blood and water mixed together still, he felt like he was physically stronger compared to his psychological health, at the moment.

He knew that man was trying to play with him and he must be watching him from somewhere so, he can’t show anything on his face or, he will follow the path that man chose for him… he couldn’t let that man win!

ZiXuan was taken to the place where it all began… it was the same location where that man killed his YUN.

ZiXuan raised his eyes from the floor as the door to the hall opened and he saw the man sitting lazily on a chaise longue, he had his eyes fixed on the door and his head supported by his right hand… his eyes weren’t focusing on anything, they were a deep pool of ink without any light….

ZiXuan remembered this man too well, it was as if, the time had stopped for this man… he still looked the same as he did back then, the same cold air around him, those same distant eyes and even that small frown he got whenever he saw him… this man hadn’t changed a bit.

It was another reason why ZiXuan was so confused about the matter, he didn’t understand why he wanted to bring him even at the cost of offending the Qin when he was still disgusted by his presence…

Anyway, he saw Guan Li, who still looked the same as well… his eyes shone when he saw him, but they held a deep mania inside… He stood just behind the man and behind him were a dozen of men in colourful suits with boorish and gaudy looks but buff bodies… they, by no means, were weak…though he didn’t remember all if them, he still remembered a few of them, they were the ones who used to thrash him down back when he was a child and also were the ones he had beaten the hell out of after a while…

Everything remained the same…

No.

Something had indeed changed… he, himself.

There was no way, he was still the same, after all, when he saw this man, he didn’t feel terrified anymore… it was similar to what that man felt towards him, a simple alienation and deep-rooted disgust…

ZiXuan’s body finally relaxed and without waiting for the man to say anything, he wanted to get the answers by himself…

“What do you want?”, it was a very casual question, but very informal, he didn’t have many feelings towards this man and ‘respect’ was the one feeling farthest of them all.

The only reason he went through that torture in there was simply that, he wanted to give this man a last chance… he wanted him to think that everything was still under his control… shouldn’t this man also feel the same despair of everything falling through the gaps of his grasp?

Shouldn’t he be dragged down from his throne, he thought he reigned over?

It was all the same… and indeed they were father and son…

Their methods of inflicting harm on others were the same… throwing one into the abyss called despair…

To ZiXuan, a few wounds on his body was a very small sacrifice in place of it… his revenge has just begun.
