Chapter 700: Don’t Owe You
"Do you all really think that just because you believe you’re in the right, I should just smile and bear your goodwill? Do you think that by acknowledging me, you’re bestowing upon me some great benevolence? Yu Shaoya did commit acts of severing ties and righteousness in the past, but it was a product of the times, and she wasn’t the only one doing so. Back then, can you honestly say that this type of thing was rare among other families?
Even if she owed you, that doesn’t mean I owe you anything, nor does it mean that you can just recognize me whenever you wish. My life now is very good; I have my own family, the people I love, and they all love me very much and treat me well. Isn’t living like this good enough?
You insist on recognizing me! But what’s the point? Haven’t we all made it through these years? When you care for someone, shouldn’t you let them live in an environment they’re familiar with and satisfied with, without rashly changing everything?
You’re only seeking peace of mind, but what happens after you find it? Haven’t you lived just fine all these years without Yu Shaoya, without me, Bai Xiao? Why go through all this now?"
It’s true that we don’t need to dwell on historical issues to determine who was right or wrong, but I, Bai Xiao, am tired. Just when my family was starting to live a good life, the Yu Family shows up.
It would be easy for me to just accept them, but what the future holds for the Yu Family, no one knows except for me. Why should I have to face future storms with the Yu Family just because of this relationship? On what grounds?
