重生爱上九千岁

Chapter 052

Chapter 52: Departure

Although, Lin Qing was very annoyed, but Zhao Chengxian is Zhao Zimu's father after all. He must know Zhao Zimu's attitude first before he makes a decision.

There would be many opportunities to toss Zhao Chengxian from side to side, but now he didn't want to see him. So, he ordered people to drag Zhao Chengxian out and his subordinates who had fallen to the ground from fear a long time ago. It was ridiculous that at the end, Zhao Chengxian still threw looks at Zhao Zimu asking for help.

From Zhao Chengxian's point of view, they were father and daughter after all. It is the heaven's law and earth's principle for the daughter to help the father. Zhao Zimu shouldn't treat him like this. That is unfilial. However, he didn't think that the way he treated Zhao Zimu was heartless.

[1] The heaven's law and earth's principle: right and unalterable

Zhao Zimu wouldn't help him and also didn't want to help him. She was happy to see him like this. Ever since she was a child, she didn't receive any love from him. Her mother lived in sorrow all day long after being abandoned by him and sometimes she even ignored the little her. Did she have parents? She has, but it was the same as not having (parents).

Lin Qing looked at her and said, "What do you want to do (with him)?"

Zhao Zimu looked at him faintly and said, "Whatever you want. It is fine as long as you keep him alive."

Lin Qing felt a bit uncomfortable. He pulled Zhao Zimu into his embrace and said, "There is still me who will keep you company. I will always stay with you."

Zhao Zimu let him hold her quietly. No one spoke for a long time. Suddenly, she felt that she was very tired and leaned on him to let herself fall asleep.

Although, Zhao Zimu looked like she didn't have a heart or emotions, but she still left a thin line on the matter of Zhao Chengxian. It was not that she wanted to forgive this person or be benevolent towards him. It was that he was the only blood connection she had left in this world after all even though this person wanted to exploit her. This kind of connection sometimes adds a bit of weight on her empty heart. This was also the reason why she didn't leave with aunt Qing during her childhood.

Lin Qing quietly let Zhao Zimu lean on him. There was a faint sympathy and heartache in his heart. This girl looked very cold-hearted and impeccable, but wasn't this also a kind of sorrow?

All the women in the world would hope to be loved by their parents. Some, the moment they were born, they were the proud daughters of heaven and pampered by thousands of people. Some were ruthlessly abandoned and ignored. He and Zhao Zimu were the latter. Therefore, one of them became a eunuch and the other had lost feelings.

Lin Qing hugged the person in front of him tighter. He understood this kind of attitude from Zhao Zimu very well. Zhao Chengxian was hateful, but after all he was a blood relative. To let him still keep a bit of his life was cruel but also benevolent.

If he had encountered the same matter, he would've done the same, but there was no guarantee that he could truly do it. After all, he was more ruthless.

Even if his parents had sold him, if one let him turn around and give them a stab, he wouldn't do it. He is vicious and merciless, but that didn't mean that he was able to do anything. He felt that he was still a human and not a monster.

In the end, Zhao Chengxian was accused of corruption, bribery and using his power for personal gain. He was dismissed from the office and his home ransacked; a broken family without an official position, without a duty and without talent. Zhao Chengxian could be considered to have ended. In order to avoid the political enemies who couldn't wait to get revenge on him, he had to move his family back to his hometown.
