He went upstairs and slowly approached his father's room. Just as he reached the door, he heard a whisper coming from inside.
Immediately, Xiao Yi's footsteps slowed down, and stopped. The Nine Dragons True Qi began to circulate as it pleased. The voice from inside the room reached Xiao Yi's ears.
"Ran Er, all these years, father knows that you are the one who has let me down the most." Inside the room, was Grandfather Xiao Shuihan's voice, carrying a trace of sadness. "Back then, I made you the successor of the family, and what made you instantly become the target of public criticism was from now on, you are the target of your brothers. "This is what I have done wrong to you."
Xiao Yi was slightly dazed. He knew that his grandfather had been in charge of the family for many years. He had long developed the temperament of a superior, and now he actually said sorry to his son.
"Next, your brothers targeted you. I saw it, but I let it go. that led to your child being lost in the snowy winter, and that's what I'm sorry for you about. " Xiao Shuihan's voice was mournful and cold.
Xiao Yi's heart was filled with sorrow, as all sorts of feelings surfaced in his heart.
"This time, I will hand over the authority of the clan to you. You will be in charge of this trip to Bat Island. I was supposed to go. It's all because of your shoulders. "
Xiao Shuihan's voice contained a few hints of lament. He paused for a moment, and then said with a choked voice: "Ran Er, I'm sorry as a father. Although the Xiao family seemed glorious on the outside, it was actually a heavy family. The burden of these years was passed down from generation to generation. Whoever took over this heavy burden would bear an indescribable responsibility. I know you've been suffering in your heart all these years, but how could I not … "
His voice was intermittent, and in the end, Xiao Shuihan had already swallowed it.
Xiao Yi, who was standing outside the door, pushed it open and entered.
When Xiao Shuihan saw Xiao Yi coming in, he immediately turned his head. He carefully used his sleeve to wipe the tears at the corner of his eyes.
Xiao Shuihan didn't want to show off his own weakness to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi understood tacitly, and did not say much. He was only waiting until Xiao Shuihan's expression calmed down before he softly spoke out: "Grandfather, you've worked hard these past few years …"
With just that short sentence, Xiao Shuihan's entire body began to tremble violently. With wide eyes, he stared straight at Xiao Yi. After a while, tears welled up in his eyes.
Hot tears welled up in his eyes as he cried with joy.
In this family, the one who was the most apologetic was not his own son Xiao Chaoran, but his own grandson Xiao Yi. After all, a large part of the reason why he had been roaming the outside all these years was because he was free and unfettered.
Now, when Xiao Shuihan's mood was extremely dejected, he heard his own grandson Xiao Yi call him grandfather. The shock in his heart was like a raging waves on a calm sea surface.
"Yi'er, don't you hate grandpa anymore?" Xiao Shuihan's voice concealed a slight trembling within.
Xiao Yi nodded, and said in a low voice: "I no longer hate you. This time, when I was on Bat Island, I heard a story and instantly thought it through. Perhaps you are right, this is the family, this is fate. In this position, you have your own difficulties. "
After confirming the answer from Xiao Yi's mouth, Xiao Shuihan choked on his sobs, and began to cry.
This matter was stuck in Xiao Shuihan's throat like a thorn. These days, he often thought of the twelve kilograms, four kilograms of blood, four kilograms of bones, and four kilograms of flesh that Xiao Yi had mentioned. These words made Xiao Shuihan have a nightmare all night long.
Thinking back to the past, Xiao Shuihan didn't know how to explain anything other than his silent choking. Now, Xiao Yi had thought it through, and this was extremely good news to Xiao Shuihan.
Xiao Yi walked over, and patted his grandfather's shoulder: "Perhaps, Mei'er is right. Life was like walking in a fog. Only by walking to that step could one see more scenery and understand more principles. All these years, the family has not been easy, and neither have you, grandfather. I did suffer a lot in the early years, but let it go when it's over. "
This consolation caused Xiao Shuihan to sob profusely.
The white-haired Xiao Shuihan was already this age. In front of others, he was still trying his best to maintain a tough attitude. However, in front of his own grandson, after hearing such warm words, he cried like a child.
Xiao Yi silently looked at his grandfather, and a bit of guilt rose in his heart.
Seeing her grandfather cry so much, Xiao Yi finally understood. In his grandfather's heart, he held an important position. Only, the mission of the clan caused grandfather to have to bear the pain sometimes.
However, there was an old man who did not like his son and did not like his grandson. However, for the sake of his family's prosperity, Xiao Chaoran had no choice but to face this cruel reality.
After crying, Xiao Shuihan raised his head and looked at his grandson Xiao Yi. Little by little, seriously, he looked at Xiao Yi carefully. Finally, he opened his mouth and muttered, "Yi'er, since you don't hold grudges anymore … Then, come back to the family as soon as possible. This way, our family can be considered reunited. "
"Back to the family?" Xiao Yi read out these few unfamiliar words, and then shook his head, and laughed bitterly: "Grandfather, I'm still not going back to the clan."
"Then why?" Xiao Shuihan quickly became nervous.
"I have my work to do." Xiao Yi's voice was bold and grand: "I have my own sky, I have my own career, I have my own things to do. I believe that after my father wakes up, he will take care of the Xiao family quite well. Of course, the Xiao family has a problem, and I will still go along with the Xiao family to face it together. "
After Xiao Shuihan finished listening to what Xiao Yi said, he was stupefied. Looking at Xiao Yi's shining face, he then advised: "Child, we need a long time to start from the beginning. At the same time, there were many difficulties that needed to be faced with. The rise of a family required generation after generation to struggle together. If you want to start from scratch, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Although the Xiao family was a heavy family, they were still like a sleeping lion in a big SH. Everyone can see your excellence. In the future, your father will naturally pass down the position of Patriarch to you. Why did you have to go through all this? "
What Xiao Shuihan had said was not wrong, it was indeed true. Starting a business from scratch was too little of a surprise. In fact, the rise of many large clans required the efforts of generations. In Xiao Shuihan's eyes, it was just too difficult for him to abandon the Xiao Family and start something up by himself.
"Grandfather, I understand everything you say." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, as a bright light flickered in them. He muttered to himself, "But, the Xiao Clan is indeed a lion. However, my career is already beginning gradually, just like a tiger cub, it can roar through the forest at any time. In my industry, there are still hundreds of millions of people doing business in a quarter. Moreover, it would gradually increase. Most importantly, what I'm doing right now is what I like. I believe that I will create a myth. I'm still young, aren't I, grandpa? "
As for the Pen Hall's current income, Xiao Yi was not clear about it. However, this still completely stunned Xiao Shuihan. Looking at the confident light that shone from Xiao Yi's face, he finally sighed and said, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Since you have something you like to do, and you are confident that you can do it well. Well, it's up to you. "Grandsons have their own blessings, but I've been worrying too much about it all these years …"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Shuihan who seemed a little desolate, and immediately said gently: "However, no matter what I'm doing. If the Xiao family is in trouble, I will immediately appear and do my best to help them. The Hongmen was like a high hanging blade that hung over the Xiao family's head. Grandfather, when Father wakes up, I want to take this saber away from him. Then, I will do my own thing, so you don't have to overwork yourself to get a proper rest. All these years, you've been supporting this family, and it's been too tiring … "
Xiao Yi immediately said those words in Xiao Shuihan's heart. These were words that no one had ever said to him before. Now that Xiao Yi had mentioned it, Xiao Shuihan suddenly became speechless.
"Even if I am at the ends of the earth, we are one and the same family. We know how to do things together." Finally, Xiao Yi expressed his attitude with these words.
Xiao Shuihan rubbed the tears at the corner of his eyes, and replied solemnly: "Right, we are one family. No matter where you are, you have to be in the same boat in both rain and wind! "
The grandfather-grandson pair finally fell silent. Both sides had already understood each other's intentions. The grudge between them had all disappeared. The grandfather-grandson pair finally understood each other.
After being silent for a long while, Xiao Yi started to focus on looking at his father, Xiao Chaoran.
On the soft bed, his face was somewhat pale. Without moving, he closed his eyes. All the prosperity and desolation of the world had nothing to do with him.
The human centipede's poison, was slowly occupying his body. Only her heart meridian was protected as her heartbeat quickened.
A guilty smile cracked open at the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth. He reached out his hand to hold his father's hand and forcefully said: "Rest assured, Father, I will definitely save you and wake you up."
Xiao Chaoran remained motionless and did not even bat an eyelid.
After so many years, he finally had a good night's sleep.
"Dad, remember to wait for my return. You haven't had a good look at your son in so many years. When you wake up, I'll definitely let you see it for yourself. " Muttering, sounds came out from Xiao Yi's mouth and floated in the room.
The sun had set, and the sun had already set. The entire room became a bit dark. However, Xiao Yi's face was so clear, so determined.
