When Zhao Nangong opened his eyes, the nurse was changing fresh dressing for his wounds.
“Ah, you are awake.” The nurse said with a smile.
Hao Nangong and Ya Wen hurried to the bedside. “Son, you finally wake up. You almost scare mom to death.” Ya said with eyes drowned in tears.
“Zhao, who beat you up like that?” Hao asked angrily.
Zhao shook his head and said feebly, “Dad, stop asking.”
Hao was stunned. “This is not my son’s style of doing things. Isn’t he supposed to take his revenge?” Hao thought.
“Who the hell hit you? Why are you standing up for him? If you don’t tell me, I will send someone to look it up. I will know who he is in the end and by then…” Hao said.
“Dad,” Zhao interrupted Hao and said. After being silent for a while, Zhao said, “Dad, I deserve this beating and I have no complaints. Don’t pursue the matter.”
Hao and Ya looked at each other. “What on earth happened? Why my son’s temperament changed so quickly? It’s so strange.” They thought.
“Zhao, you are my son. How can I don’t pursue it when your spleen was ruptured? If I don’t pursue it, anyone will bully me in the future. Just tell me who is bold enough to hit you. I will maim him.” Hao said.
Zhao sighed helplessly. After the nurse went out, Zhao said slowly, “It’s Kerry.”
Zhao felt he didn’t hear it clearly and asked again, “Who is he?”
“Kerry.” Zhao repeated. Then Zhao saw his father, who was angry, became surprised, incredulous and then became angry again.
“Kerry? Why he hit you?” Hao asked in surprise. Ye family and Nangong family only care about their own business in those years. When they meet each other, they pretend not to see each other. Why did the bastard beat up Zhao?
With a complex facial expression, Zhao opened his mouth but he didn’t say anything. “Dad, ask no more question. It’s all my fault.”
“Even if it’s all you fault, as an elder, should he make a fuss and beat you up so severely?” Ya said angrily. Zhao is her only precious son.
Hao grasped the crux of the matter and asked, “Wait. What had you done that he hit you?” He knew his son is a makebate and his son must have done something wrong that Kerry hit him.
Zhao turned his head without saying anything.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll go and ask Kerry.” Hao said and pretended to walk outside. Sure enough, his son stopped him.
“Dad, don’t do that.” Zhao implored and said.
Hao was very anxious and said, “Just tell me what you’ve down.”
“I… I…” Zhao minced his words for a long time and finally said, “I forced Chuxue Ye to have sex with me.”
Both Han and Ya were stunned. “Who? Chuxue?” Hao said.
Zhao said “yes” in a low voice. Zhao said that because he didn’t want his parents to have any prejudice against Chuxue, so he had to lay all the blame on him.
Hao pointed at him and asked incredibly, “You mean you and Kerry’s daughter…”
Zhao bit his lower lip and said “yes” resolutely.
Zhao looked at his father and said seriously, “Dad, I want to marry Chuxue.”
Hao was stunned and he suddenly knew why his son changed in his personality. His son might have been mocked at by Kerry.
“Zhao, there are so many people in Sky City who want to marry Chuxue. Besides, we have feuds with Ye family. How can she marry you. What qualities do you have to do that?” Hao said.
“So I want to change and I want to work hard. Dad, I mean it.” Zhao said.
After hearing that, Ya couldn’t help be unhappy. She thought his husband and his son were both fascinated by women of Ye family. The thought that Venus might be his son’s mother-in-law made her feel uncomfortable.
“I don’t agree you to marry Chuxue.” Ya said directly.
“Mother, why?” Zhao said in surprise.
Ya took a look at her husband calmly and said with her lips curled, “I just don’t want you to marry her.”
Hao knew why his wife disagreed. “It’s been years and are you still jealous?” Hao said with a light smile.
“What need I to be jealous about? I am afraid that someone won’t able to control himself.” Ya said with a contemptuous smile.
“That’s impossible. Don’t have a bee in your head.” Hao said to comfort his wife, “It’s a good thing that our son wants to change himself. It’s uncertain whether he can marry Chuxue or not. Why are you jealous?”
Ya gave him a ferocious stare and said nothing more.
Zhao could vaguely guess the meaning of his parents’ dialogue but he could say nothing. He only hoped he could get better soon and make some achievements to show Kerry and make Chuxue change her impression of him.
