RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 256 - Chapter 260

Chapter 256: Making a Clean Break with the Past

Su Lingyun said, "Xiu'er, I understand your concern and I agree with you. But I believe that Xiangfei's basic nature isn't absolutely bad. Even your uncle... Su Shangwen lost his basic nature because of money. He used to be a good person before, very kind, and used to take care of the family. He also really helped us a lot all these years living in Star City. So, Xiu'er, you have to find a way to save him if he repent in prison."

"Alright, Mom!" Tang Xiu complied.

At Qinghe County, Su Village.

Su Xiangfei quietly leaned on the courtyard wall whilst smoking a cigarette. He clearly heard the conversation between Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu.

He felt hatred! Yet, he didn't know for whom he should point his hatred to.

He experienced too many things in these couple of months. Despite considering himself very strong in bearing pressure, yet hid in the home of his sister's classmate for many days. Smoking and drinking every day, living a life that was even worse than death.

Tang Xiu was was the one he wanted to hate because he knew that Tang Xiu was the one who harmed his family. However, as he pondered and recalled everything that had happened, he suddenly realized that his family was indeed the one that pretty much bullied his aunt and cousin using their riches and powerful status.

As he recalled about that time, if not for the police finding that evidence, it would've been Tang Xiu going to jail instead of his parents.

Two lines of tears fell down from Su Xiangfei's eyes as he heard his aunt's words. Prior to this, he used to think that his aunt was a very weak person and easy to bully. He used to watch his parents bully her, yet he acted as though he was watching a drama play. But now, after he heard his aunt, all sort of mixed feelings filled his heart.

"Pa..."

He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and fiercely extinguished it with his tiptoe. He then turned around and went straight to Su Lingyun and knelt.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry."

Su Lingyun was shocked by Su Xiangfei's action. She looked at him with disbelief as she opened her mouth but not knowing what to say. She lifted her phone but didn't end the call, whereas her son at the other end of the phone was also silent.

After a long period of time, Su Lingyun sobered up from her daze. She quickly propped Su Xiangfei up as she sighed and said sincerely and earnestly, "Xiangfei, no matter how bad our discords, we're relatives, after all; family members. Xiu'er was only afraid of me being bullied. You're older than him so you should be able to understand more about this, so don't blame him."

Su Xiangfei said bitterly, "Auntie, I don't blame him. Just like what you just said, it was because my father's mind was muddled by wealth, whereas I was also too full of myself. I did frame him initially. If it wasn't discovered, perhaps he would be the one in jail now, not my parents. So I don't hate him."

A happy expression was revealed on Su Lingyun's face. She gently patted his shoulder and said, "Xiangfei. It's good that you don't hate him. Don't you worry though! Xiu'er is someone who lives up to his word. He said to your grandmother that after two years, he will certainly get your father out of jail."

Su Xiangfei nodded heavily and said, "Auntie, the reason I came to my senses and woke up is actually because of father. When he tried to commit suicide before being arrested, he was hospitalized and I heard him shouting your name in his coma, apologizing to you. At that moment I knew that father regretted what he did to you."
