C215 His Heart Was Dead

In the living room, Lin's mother was sitting on the sofa, wearing a worried expression as she wiped away her tears. When Soong Shiyan came out of her room, she hastily wiped the tears off her face and forced a smile. She looked at Soong Shiyan and asked in a soft voice, "Is Lin Lang asleep?"

Soong Shiyan nodded and looked at Lin's mother. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "How is the discussion between Uncle and Xue Zhaowu going?"

Lin's mother let out a heavy sigh and fell silent. This was a personal matter of the Lin Family, and was related to Lin Lang's reputation. She had originally not intended to tell Soong Shiyan, an outsider, about this. However, in Lin's mother's eyes, this girl called "Jing Sung" should be a good friend of Lin Lang.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin's mother said quietly, "Ai, don't mention it anymore. This matter is really difficult to put into words! "

"Aunty, if there's anything you need, feel free to say it out loud – as long as it's something I can help with, I will definitely do it!" Soong Shiyan said with a resolute expression.

Lin's mother sighed and said, "That Xue Zhaowu was beaten up so badly by his father that he was barely able to breathe. From the looks of it, he was determined not to marry my Lin Lang. We can't do anything to him, we can't possibly let him pay with his life! It's just that she pitied my Lin Lang. In the future, she … "Sigh!"

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan frowned. She looked at Lin's mother and asked, "Aunt, where is Xue Zhaowu now?"

"It's still in the study room. It hasn't come out yet." Lin's mother sighed and said.

"Can you take me to see him?" Soong Shiyan asked, "He and I can be considered to have some friendship. I will help to persuade him. Perhaps, once he has thought it through, he will naturally loosen his mouth. "

Lin's mother glanced at Soong Shiyan a few times. After a moment of hesitation, she finally made up her mind and nodded. She stood up and said to Soong Shiyan, "Then come with me. I'll take you to see him."

… ….

Soong Shiyan followed Lin's mother into the study. Although the door to the study room was tightly shut, Soong Shiyan, who was standing outside, could still feel the tense atmosphere in the study room.

The servant knocked on the door, then opened it a crack and said, "Master, madam is here."

The person inside went silent for a moment, then said, "Come in."

Lin's mother turned around and looked at Soong Shiyan. She said, "Jing Sung, just wait here for me. I'll call for you later. You can come in later."

Soong Shiyan nodded.

Not long later, Lin Bo and Xue Hengyuan slowly walked out of the study room. Although the two of them were calm, their expressions were not that good.

Seeing Lin Bo, Soong Shiyan stood on the spot. She smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, hello. I'm Jing Sung. I'm here to visit Lin Lang."

Lin Bo saw Soong Shiyan and nodded. He forced out a stiff smile and said, "Oh, I've heard about this from Jing Hao. Miss Jing, you're really considerate." With that, Lin Bo sighed and took the lead to leave.

Xue Hengyuan, who was standing behind Lin Bo, couldn't help but stop when he heard the name "Jing Sung" and looked over at Soong Shiyan.

When Xue Hengyuan found out that his son already had someone he liked, he sent someone to investigate. It was only then did he find out that the woman Xue Zhaowu liked was the Heir of the Huo Family, Jing Sung, whom Old Master Huo had recently decided on.

Seeing Jing Sung now, Xue Hengyuan was very satisfied with her, not only because of her identity as Heir of the Huo Family. Furthermore, when he saw Jing Sung, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He truly liked her from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps, this was what they called fate! Therefore, if his son could be with Jing Sung, Xue Hengyuan would be happy.

However, now that Xue Zhaowu and Lin Lang had happened, it had even become a storm in the city. If Xue Zhaowu did not marry Lin Lang, as his father, he would no longer have the face to see Lin Family anymore. Furthermore, Jing Sung would actually appear here at this moment, which proves that her relationship with Young Miss Lin Family might be quite good.

As a result, regardless of whether Xue Zhaowu marries Lin Lang or not, he and Jing Sung won't be able to get along.

Xue Hengyuan couldn't help but sigh. Since Zhaowu and Jing Sung were fated to be fated together, he might as well let Jing Sung, as Lin Lang's friend, properly persuade Zhaowu. Even if Zhaowu didn't listen to their elders, perhaps he would also listen to Jing Sung?

Thinking about this, Xue Hengyuan walked over to Jing Sung and hesitantly said, "Miss Jing, I have something that I want to trouble you with. Even though it is a little rude, I still hope that you will not reject it. "

"Please tell me —" Although Soong Shiyan had never seen Xue Hengyuan before, she had already guessed his identity when she saw him leave the study room together with Lin Bo.

"Miss Jing, you're Lin Lang's friend, right?" Xue Hengyuan asked.

Soong Shiyan nodded.

"Since that's the case, Miss Jing, can you help me persuade this child Zhaowu? "I know it's offensive, but …" A hint of shame surfaced on Xue Hengyuan's face.

Soong Shiyan nodded. "Okay, but I'll have to do my best."0

"Thank you so much!" Xue Hengyuan shook hands gratefully with Soong Shiyan before leaving with Lin Bo.

After a while, Lin's mother came out of the study and said to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, you can go in! — — Jing Sung, you must persuade him!" Lin's mother shook Soong Shiyan's hand and said in a choked voice. She had placed her final hope on Soong Shiyan!

"Auntie, don't worry. I will do my best to let Xue Zhaowu agree to the marriage with Lin Lang." Soong Shiyan said with a resolute expression. Then, she pushed open the study door and entered.

Xue Zhaowu sat on the sofa with his head lowered. Soong Shiyan couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could feel his unconcealable dejection. She knew, she couldn't blame Xue Zhaowu for what happened this time. After all, he and Lin Lang were both victims. Asking him to marry Lin Lang was indeed a bit unfair to him, but there was no absolute fairness in this world. As a woman, she received even more unfair treatment than a man. Even the story of staying over at the hotel, the one who had the notoriety, was a woman.

Soong Shiyan sighed lightly and walked towards Xue Zhaowu.

Xue Zhaowu slowly raised his head when he heard the commotion. When he saw Soong Shiyan, who had appeared in front of him, his face was filled with shock. For a long time, he was unable to recover from his shock.

"Dijin, you, you …" Xue Zhaowu mumbled with a dull expression.

Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu. His handsome face had been beaten black and blue, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had yet to be wiped clean. Even though Xue Zhaowu had always been in high spirits and looked to be in high spirits, sometimes it even made Soong Shiyan a little irritated. However, looking at his current appearance, Soong Shiyan couldn't help but feel a bit soft-hearted. The words that had persuaded him to marry Lin Lang stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Soong Shiyan sighed. She came to Xue Zhaowu's side, took out a clean handkerchief from her bag, handed it to Xue Zhaowu and said, "Wipe it."

Hearing that, Xue Zhaowu took the handkerchief from Soong Shiyan's hand and wiped his face a few times. He didn't even know how heavy his hands were. When he touched the wound on his face, he grimaced in pain.

Seeing this, Soong Shiyan shook her head helplessly. She snatched the handkerchief from Xue Zhaowu's hands, squatted down and carefully wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. Soong Shiyan looked at the wound on Xue Zhaowu's face and said faintly, "I heard that you've been beaten to the point where you only have one breath left. Now that I see you again, it looks like you're pretty resistant!"

Hearing that, the corner of Xue Zhaowu's mouth raised into a smile. However, in the next second, he couldn't help but to suck in a breath of cold air from the pain.

He looked at Soong Shiyan's face, which was just inches away from him, and fell into a deep state of grief, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He had always thought that even if Dijin didn't like him, he could still wait patiently. As long as he could wait until the day she fell in love with him, no matter how long he waited, he would be happy. But now, the matter of him staying with Lin Lang at the hotel had really gotten out of hand.

He knew that as a man, he was responsible for Lin Lang. However, this way, he would lose the qualifications to wait for her and would never have the chance to meet her again. Between duty and love, he finally chose love.

Soong Shiyan wiped the blood off Xue Zhaowu's face, put down her handkerchief and sat on the sofa opposite him. She looked at Xue Zhaowu and slowly said, "Are you curious why I'm here?"

Hearing that, Xue Zhaowu looked into Soong Shiyan's eyes and nodded silently.

"Lin Lang is my best friend. Now, she is the most important person to me in this world. " Soong Shiyan said slowly.

There was a trace of surprise on Xue Zhaowu's face. He remembered clearly that Lin Lang had mercilessly slapped her in the face when they were at the nightclub. The relationship between women was really hard to fathom.

"I know that you must be very curious about my relationship with Lin Lang right now — so, let me tell you a secret." Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu in silence for a moment before finally making up her mind.

Xue Zhaowu looked at Soong Shiyan's serious expression and suddenly had a feeling — — once she told him this secret, there seemed to be no relation between the two of them ever again. Xue Zhaowu closed his eyes in fear, not looking at Soong Shiyan's expression. His heartbeat was like the sound of a drum. He took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and nervously clenched his hands.

"Do you know why I lost my memory that time?" Soong Shiyan asked.

"I heard that you wanted to escape the organisation, but the organisation tracked you down." In the shoot-out with the organization, you were shot into the sea. By the time I found you again, you would have already lost your memory. " Xue Zhaowu said slowly.

Soong Shiyan nodded and said, "Xue Zhaowu, what you said was indeed the truth — but you missed the most important point. The reason why I lost my memories is because I wasn't Dijin at all! This is because, when I first entered Dijin's body, her body instinctively rejected my soul, thus, I lost my memory. "Later on, when the souls of our bodies merged with each other and no longer reject us, I would recall everything that happened before, including my identity."
