Chapter 1572: But I Don’t Want to Accept My Fate

Tuanzi’s tears suddenly came streaming down, like beads dropping one by one, making one’s heart ache terribly.

No matter who it is, no matter how old, suddenly realizing that a relative you’d always thought truly cared about you has actually been using you—anyone would find that hard to accept...

Tuanzi had once believed that the only two people in this world who cared about him—one of them turned out to be scheming against him. How is he supposed to accept that?

Just yesterday, his eldest uncle had even called him, asking whether he needed him to attend the parent-teacher meeting.

He’d been overjoyed and about to agree, when that bastard guardian Uncle suddenly came in and said he would go to the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. He had no choice but to turn his eldest uncle down.

But this morning that bastard Uncle said he wasn’t going to the parent-teacher meeting today after all.

If he doesn’t go, he doesn’t go—who cares about this guardian Uncle going anyway?

It’s not like it’s the first time no parent has gone to attend his parent-teacher meeting; he’s already long since gotten used to it.

And in the end... the person Mama and the guardian Uncle were discussing turned out to be his eldest uncle. His eldest uncle is actually the worst of the worst.

No wonder when they said to come eat just now, they wouldn’t let his eldest uncle come eat together...

Tuanzi suddenly couldn’t handle it; he stared blankly at the bowl and chopsticks in front of him, the happiness in his heart washed away a great deal.

Su Li looked at Tuanzi’s lost, dazed expression, feeling something in her heart she couldn’t put into words; this really was far too cruel.

The person you’ve always trusted turns out to have been calculating against you all along.

No matter how young you are, you’ll still feel sad.

Tuanzi’s eyelashes trembled lightly. He pushed his chopsticks forward a bit and spoke softly: "Mama, I don’t want to eat anymore."

He’d already lost his appetite; he couldn’t eat.

Just a moment ago he’d wanted Mama to properly taste An City’s delicacies—there are so many foods here that he loves—and now he himself can’t bring himself to eat.

Su Li sighed silently in her heart, reaching out to gently rub Tuanzi’s head, looking at him without a word.

Su Li didn’t want to bring up Feng Huaimu again and further provoke Tuanzi. She simply fixed her gaze on Mo Si Huang before her, thought for a moment, then still asked: "Have you... ever regretted it?"

Mo Si Huang answered openly: "No."

Su Li stared at the chicken soup in front of her, itching to fling it in his face.

This dog of a thing!

How many people died because of his involvement?

The Su Li of this world died, Feng Huaijin died for no reason she knows, Tuanzi lost his parents and became an orphan, living under other people’s roof day and night.

He even indirectly caused Uncle Mo Yu’s death, and the entire Xuan Sect dissolved because of it.

And he actually doesn’t regret it...

Su Li’s heart felt a tangle of mixed flavors; she could only think that you really can’t judge a person by appearances. No matter how handsome Mo Si Huang is, it doesn’t change that heart of his that’s cold down to the bone.

Mo Si Huang looked calmly at Su Li, at her seething anger that she didn’t dare let erupt. He paused and said, "But I... have always been thinking of you all."

"At night, I always remember the scene of Master coming to the orphanage to pick me up, the first time I saw you, and the picture of everyone in the Xuan Sect gathering together for New Year’s for the first time..."

He seemed to be reminiscing, his voice soft: "The deeper the night, the more those scenes feel carved into my mind, never fading, always there."

He looked at Su Li’s complicated expression, suddenly let out a low, derisive laugh, and said, "But I... can’t regret it. If I regret it, then everything I did before would be meaningless, or rather... if I regret it, that would mean I’ve accepted my fate."

His words landed heavy as stone: "But I refuse to accept my fate."
