If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1629: Spring Breeze Blows, Cherry Blossoms Fly (6)
Seeing Xiao’s father and mother again, she never thought it would be in this way.
Xiao’s father and mother were still sitting on the sofa in the living room. When Xia Chuqing pushed the door open and came in, Shen Chi patted her on the shoulder and walked out.
There was no one else left here, only them.
Xiao’s mother buried her head in her hands, Xia Chuqing couldn’t see her expression, but she knew they must be in great pain.
No one was in more pain than her, except perhaps them.
Xiao’s father raised his head to look at Xia Chuqing but didn’t speak for a long time.
Xia Chuqing lowered her head and confessed, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m sorry, really sorry, it was my fault that he died."
"What’s the use of saying this now?" Xiao’s father said in a deep voice, his throat hoarse and choked with emotion.
"I know, you can punish me however you want, I’m willing. If you’re willing, I’ll be your daughter from now on, and I’ll accompany you like Xiao Mo did." Xia Chuqing was also choked up, but she controlled her emotions and did not cry out loud.
"No need!" Xiao’s mother raised her head, her eyes red as she looked at Xia Chuqing, "We don’t need a daughter like you! You’re not even a tenth of Xiao Mo!"
"I also regret that it wasn’t me who had the accident. I wish it had been me!" Xia Chuqing covered her face.
"Xiao Mo liked you so much. We didn’t ask you to give him anything. You had the right to refuse, but don’t hurt him." Xiao’s mother spoke sternly.
"Yes, it’s my fault. I don’t deny it. I am despicable, unforgivable."
Xiao’s father and mother remained silent, their expressions filled with grief, feeling like crying but unable to weep.
Xia Chuqing knew that they must have cried for several days. These days, she thought, they must have suffered more agony than she did.
Silence. The living room fell into silence.
Perhaps hearing Xia Chuqing’s voice and fearing they would start arguing, Shen Chi, who was smoking in the courtyard, quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and came in.
"Concerning this matter, I also have an inescapable responsibility." Shen Chi looked pained as he sincerely apologized to Xiao Mo’s parents, "I wasn’t attentive enough to my subordinates."
"Mr. Shen, it’s not your fault. There are so many subordinates at Shen Group, you can’t possibly care for each one." Xiao’s father said lightly.
"Chuqing certainly wouldn’t want to see such a scene either. I think it must be painful for her too." Shen Chi said.
When Shen Chi spoke like this, Xia Chuqing’s nose turned sour.
"I am the culprit..." Xia Chuqing cried.
"Forget it, the deceased is gone after all." Xiao’s father didn’t have much blame for Xia Chuqing; after all, she was just a young girl, "I called you over to help pack Xiao Mo’s things. After all, you’re the most familiar with this place."
"Okay..." Xia Chuqing agreed without thinking, although she didn’t dare to look at his bedroom again.
Everything here was so familiar to her, from the living room to the balcony, and then to the bedroom...
Several pots of succulents on the balcony were ones she bought, still lush and green, but that person would never come back...
"You don’t need to pack!" Xiao’s mother said coldly, "You just need to return everything Xiao Mo gave you. I’m afraid you’ll lose sleep at night!"
Everything Xiao Mo gave her...
He gave her so much, and the feelings he had for her were things she could never repay.
"Who gave you the ring on your hand? My son?" Xiao’s mother glared at her.
Xia Chuqing instinctively protected the ring, "Aunt... can I keep this ring? I can’t bear to part with it..."
"He’s gone, so why keep the ring? Are you afraid your future husband won’t give you one?! Hypocritical!" Xiao’s mother’s tone always carried a barbed edge.
Xia Chuqing knew Xiao’s mother was in a bad mood, really bad.
"Aunt, don’t be like this, just let Chuqing keep the ring. After all, it was from Xiao Mo." Shen Chi sighed.
Xia Chuqing clutched the ring on her finger, her eyes filled with panic, truly afraid Xiao’s mother would rush over the next second to take it away from her.
This was a gift from Xiao Mo to her, and it still had his inscription...
She said she liked pink, so he chose an expensive pink diamond for her.
Unfortunately, she only understood his affection now.
Xiao’s mother glared at Xia Chuqing but didn’t demand the ring back, mainly in consideration of Shen Chi. However, she still said coldly, "From now on, you have nothing to do with our Xiao Family. I don’t want to see you again."
Xia Chuqing bit her lip, nodding.
It was Shen Chi who spoke: "Aunt, I think Chuqing’s proposal isn’t impossible. You might as well take her in and let her show her filial piety."
"If Uncle and Aunt are willing to take me in, I am willing to serve my parents wholeheartedly, to treat them as my biological parents." Xia Chuqing choked with emotion.
"We are able-bodied and don’t need it!" Xiao’s father said in a steely voice.
"Uncle, Aunt, listen to my advice." Shen Chi said, "The dead cannot come back to life, and you will eventually grow old. In old age, what you fear most isn’t the lack of material possessions, but spiritual loneliness. Sorry, I’m being blunt. Chuqing is friends with my wife, and I understand her character to some extent. She’s not the kind of girl who courts trouble, she’s very sensible and filial. I think she will take good care of you."
Xia Chuqing looked gratefully at Shen Chi. Indeed, if Xiao’s father and mother were willing to take her in, she would certainly take good care of them, treating them as her parents.
Take it as giving her a chance to live again, in Xiao Mo’s place...
Xiao’s father remained silent, but Xiao’s mother was still somewhat disgruntled, not responding.
"Shen Group has a branch in A City; Chuqing can work there. This way, she can also look after you in Qingyuan City." Shen Chi said, "I think she’s matured a lot after this incident. Why not consider my suggestion for my sake?"
"Sigh." Xiao’s father sighed, holding his head.
"I will take care of you in place of Xiao Mo, certainly. I will treat you like my biological daughter..." Xia Chuqing choked up, looking at them with pleading eyes, "Please give me a chance to repent, I’m sorry, truly sorry... Please..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Promise Chuqing, otherwise, she’ll regret it for a lifetime." Shen Chi sighed.
"Do you really love Xiao Mo? If you loved him, you wouldn’t have killed him!" Xiao’s mother was in agony.
"I love him, I truly love him... I was just afraid I wasn’t good enough for him... I know you never liked me either... So... I argued with him time and again due to my own insecurities..." Xia Chuqing lowered her head, "I regret it, but what use is regrets now? He will never come back... If I could, I’d be willing to trade my life to bring him back..."
"Things have come to this, don’t think too much." Shen Chi comforted her.
With those words, nobody spoke again, and the living room fell silent except for Xia Chuqing’s low sobbing.
