The Taming of the Ruffian Hero - Chapter 216

Seeing the familiar handwriting, Zhao Yuan could not help shaking his hands.

“Wanxin, since you got the video of the funeral parlour, you should know what my father’s next words are! He left me two letters that year. The first letter is uncle Zhao’s real handwritten will at that time, which my father asked me to take good care of. The second letter is what he left for me. It said that I’m not allowed to open the first letter until you and Zhao Yuan have children, or Zhao Yuan and Wenxi are together. When they are definitely together, I’ll then give it to Zhao Yuan,” said Zheng Kai.

Hearing that, Chen Wanxin fell heavily on the chair, while Chen Yuanxi could not help but sit up.

“Wenxi didn’t allow me to mourn uncle Zhao on the Qingming Festival. The reason why I went privately was that Yuanxi was ill at that time and seemed to be a little serious. I was afraid that he wouldn’t survive, so I opened the letter,” said Zheng Kai.

“He pretended to be ill, didn’t you know? He, he pretended!” Chen Wanxin said, “Zheng Kai, you have a one-track mind!”

“So, he’ll only love one person in his life,” said Chen Yuanxi seriously.

Chen Wanxin’s brow suddenly moved, and she sat down with an uneasy look, saying, “Chen Yuanxi, you made your illness look real… even I…”

Zhao Yuan looked at the letter carefully. As soon as he saw the friendly address, he burst into tears.

“Dear son,

By the time you read this letter, I’ll be dead. But my son, don’t be too sad. Life and death lie in the lap of the gods. After I die, I won’t be disturbed by anything anymore. You should be happy for me.

I have lived a life of ups and downs, and you are my pride and glory of my whole life. I believe that I haven’t been sorry for others and myself. But I only owe Deputy Secretary Lin and Ziheng. While I’m away, you should regard Ziheng and Deputy Secretary Lin as your father and take care of them for life. You have to obey it.

“Poor Ziheng has liked me since he was a teenager, but I didn’t know his mind before. When I had doubts, I could only hide them, because I feared that my mind would be revealed to the world and only make people laugh at me. When I suffered from disaster, if it hadn’t been for Ziheng, I would never see you again. Ziheng works hard day and night and is busy with my affairs. His devotion is so clear. I didn’t realize his mind until now. But now I’m fifty and will die soon. I can never repay him. I’m really ashamed.

“In front of my bed, you have repeatedly said what had happened between you and Deputy Secretary Lin’s son, Wenxi. Although you said you were brothers, I know your mind. After all, I have known Ziheng’s mind and observed the love between two men. I only hope that you will find someone who knows you well and you two will live a safe life in the future. If Wenxi also likes you, I also will be happy after death, even though I can’t congratulate you. Lovers hope that nothing but death can end their love. I didn’t know that truth until the critical moment. But if Wenxi doesn’t like you, you also need to behave yourself. Keep it in mind!

“Although I have to avenge, I know that there is no time for me. If Deputy Secretary Lin can vindicate me, bear in mind that you have to thank him with wines and bows for me! If I won’t be vindicated, I hope you can live a good life. Remember, don’t take revenge.

“Recently, I can always dream of your mother. I can still remember your mother’s beauty and smile. But I think she might have been dead. If so, I hope that there is another life for us to meet and love. Then I will be satisfied.

“My son, don’t care about me and live a good life!

“I’m very sad that you’ll live in the world alone. I hope you will remember my wishes and be safe!”

Zhao Yuan could not help but cry and read it over and over again. Then Zheng Kai delivered it to Chen Wanxin and Chen Yuanxi.

After they read it, one was tearful and the other’s eyes turned red, and both of them took a long sigh. When Zhao Mingjiang wrote this letter, he did not know that Zheng Zihuan had determined to die with him. He also did not know that Lin Ziwei would die in another place in only half a year.

Chen Wanxin looked up and cried, ignoring that her makeup had been ruined by tears. She widened her eyes and wanted to go to Beijing to find her parents and ask them why.

She finally smiled miserably and said, “Zhao Yuan, I already knew that. Our Chen Family is sorry for your family! I, Chen Wanxin, have no face to do such a thing! I just want to ask you, if it’s like what uncle said, will you, will you be with Yuanxi? This answer has nothing to do with me, but I just want to know. Will you be with Chen Yuanxi?”

“Chen Wanxin, leave here! Don’t push him anymore! You don’t deserve him! Neither do I!” Chen Yuanxi cried out, “I also am surnamed Chen! Go! Go!”

Zhao Yuan picked up the posthumous paper and went out without saying a word.

Looking at Zhao Yuan’s back, Chen Yuanxi almost cried to death. Zhang Dong sat beside him, thinking about something.

“Chen Yuanxi, you finally didn’t win me!” Chen Wanxin suddenly gave out a shrill laugh and went out.

“Stop Chen Wanxin. She may, she may be with Luo Yang…” “If Luo Yang shows up, catch him… please, catch him!” Although Chen Yuanxi kept crying, he was very sober.

Hearing that, Zheng Kai hurriedly followed Chen Wanxin.

Gu Xi woke up at some time and came to Chen Yuanxi’s ward. As soon as he saw Chen Yuanxi crying, he rushed up to hold his head and comforted him. Chen Yuanxi found a piece of clean gauze and carefully covered Gu Xi’s face. Then they hugged each other tightly and comforted each other.

Chen Yuanxi and Wang Xiang stayed in the hospital to take care of Gu Xi in turn. Although Wang Xiang alternated between Gu Xi’s place and Zhang An’an’s place, he was quite willing. Gu Xi was sad every day, and barely smiled when Zheng Kai, who had stopped Chen Yuanxi from leaving and locked her in his home, came to visit him. Seeing Gu Xi’s smile, Wang Xiang was very happy and energetic, but Chen Yuanxi slightly sighed.

After the second stage of skin grafting was finished, Zheng Kai took Gu Xi home.

“Wanxin is locked in the room where there’s nothing she can smash. She shouts and cries every day. But once Gu Xi talks to her, she would be quiet. Don’t worry,” said Zheng Kai.

“You can think that the money I gave to you was borrowed from me. Don’t say no anymore. You need to take care of Gu Xi, appease Wanxin and guard against Luo Yang. You can’t go out and find a job,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile, “Although Gu Xi has always wanted to go home, you and I know that it is not his family and me, but it is you who can really cure him. I hope Gu Xi will be the happy and energetic boy again when I see him next time, OK?” Chen Yuanxi pushed Zheng Kai’s shoulder with a smile.

Zheng Kai mumbled and agreed, then he asked, “Is the man with a scar on face who haunts nearby from time to time really the handsome uncle Hong Xuan?” Zheng Kai had been easily knocked down by Hong Xuan at school, so he always called him handsome uncle Hong Xuan.

“Yes, he’ll keep an eye on Luo Yang for you. I guess Luo Yang wanted to kill both you and I when he cheated you out at the beginning. After all, he lost three fingers and he must hate you very much. Besides, don’t you think he regards you as his rival? A’Kai, you’re upgraded. Take the chance!” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“If there’s no other way, you can be uncompromising and leave no way out to her!” said Zhang Dong.

Zheng Kai and Zhang Dong clapped the hands with each other, deeply feeling like they had met a bosom friend.

Then Zheng Kai asked Chen Yuanxi where he was going.

“The result hasn’t come out yet in Beijing. I’m afraid that there would be change. So I’ll go to Beijing with Zhang Dong and get ready,” said Chen Yuanxi.

The three parted on the spot.
