Many years later, Xiao Ji could still remember being locked up with Zhou Luhe for three days and nights.
They had both been laced with drugs in their daily meals. The only things Xiao Ji did in that span of time were to eat, drink, and sleep with Zhou Luhe.
He was no better than a beast in those moments.
Shamefully, the entire sordid episode was recorded.
Zhou Luhe used the video to blackmail him. If he didn’t leave Su Hongxing, she would leak the video, accusing him of rape.
Without a doubt, the leak of that video would utterly ruin his life.
He had ambitions and wanted to offer Su Hongxing the best life he could provide. It is impossible for any man to deny his ambitions. But he was not greedy; as long as the money he earned could support his family and make Su Hongxing happy, that was enough for him.
Even with such a simple desire, he found it impossible to achieve.
He was forced to choose between himself and Su Hongxing. He wrestled with the decision and finally decided that Su Hongxing was more important than himself.
Even if one day, he was imprisoned because of this situation, Su Hongxing would still stand by him because she was a woman who strictly adheres to justice.
If he chose to break up with Su Hongxing for his career, he would never get another chance to be with her.
Because he was well aware of this fact, he refused to give in to Zhou Luhe.
Even then, things got worse, and his father was kidnapped.
Every day, he would receive videos of his dad.
His father was kept in a dark, small reservoir, kept alive only by water.
Though he wanted to report to the police, the kidnapper warned him that they were watching every move he made, they would kill his father if he dared to call the police.
After a grueling week, watching his father grow weaker by the day, Xiao Ji finally broke down.
He was forced to make a choice.
Betwixt his father and Su Hongxing, he chose his father…
Reminiscing on this irredeemable past, Xiao Ji bitterly remarked, “After that, for a long time, I’d often ask myself, do I regret the choice I made then? I chose family love over romantic love, I chose to distance myself from you. Now, I’m successful, I can have any woman I want, but whatever I lost cannot be reclaimed. Not even my father, whom I traded you for. Xingxing, tell me, if you were in my place, what would you have done?”
He suffered for so many years, lost so much, all he gained in return was cold, hard cash and fame.
If wasn’t for that person, he and Su Hongxing could have been living a blissful life, married with children by now.
His father might still be alive…
But in reality, there are no ‘ifs’, ‘buts’, or suppositions. They only arise because of dissatisfaction with the present.
“I-I didn’t know about any of this. ” Su Hongxing had tears in her eyes.
She didn’t know that Xiao Ji had left her because of such complex reasons, she also didn’t know how helpless Xiao Ji was back then.
If she put herself in his shoes, maybe she would have made the same choice.
“I didn’t want this filthiness to dirty you, or for your parents to know. We hid it all from you. Do you know who caused our separation?”
Xiao Ji stepped closer to Su Hongxing, “Do you know who caused my father’s death?! If not for him, you and I would still be together. If not for him, my father wouldn’t have been diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease, he wouldn’t have been bed-ridden all these years and would’ve not lost his life so suddenly.”
