Chapter 257 - 106 Prison_5
I was happy that at least one life remained; our father and daughter were not destined to be separated forever by death. I was sad because the mad Xue Huaiyuan might never recognize his own daughter again. Even if they were reunited, they might never acknowledge each other in this lifetime.
That’s just how the heavens are; they seem to offer a glimmer of hope, but after that glimmer fades, what follows is only deeper despair.
Jiang Li sat blankly at the table.
Tonger and Bai Xue asked several times, but Jiang Li did not tell them what had happened. Eventually, whether out of annoyance or something else, she simply asked Tonger and Bai Xue to leave and stayed in the room alone. The two maids, fearing she might do something foolish, simply sat outside the door, pressing their ears against it, listening carefully for any noise inside. They planned to break in at the slightest sign of trouble; Jiang Li must not come to any harm.
Jiang Li silently buried her face in the crook of her arm.
Every time she thought about what Yongning and Shen Yurong had done to Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li wanted to tear them to shreds. She didn’t believe that Shen Yurong was ignorant of Xue Huaiyuan’s predicament! Even if Xue Zhao had met with tragedy and Yongning had acted on his own, there was nothing Shen Yurong could do now that Xue Zhao was gone. But now that Xue Huaiyuan was alive, Shen Yurong just watched indifferently as he was tortured!
When Shen Yurong first came to Tongxiang, Xue Huaiyuan had even advised him, saying a teacher for a day is like a father for life. He didn’t expect Shen Yurong to treat Xue Huaiyuan as his own father, but with their teacher-student relationship, he should have had some conscience.
They were nothing but two inhumane beasts!
