Chapter 505: Chapter 505: I Will Use This Lifetime to Repay Him

For his own and the Shen Family’s interests, Shen Dongyang chose to marry the daughter of another powerful clan that year, but heartlessly drove Xia Chenyu and her mother out of the Shen Family without recognition, causing them to drift in a foreign land, and finally, Chenyu’s mother died of depression.

Until her death, Chenyu’s mother kept muttering Shen Dongyang’s name, hoping the man would come to see her, stay with her for a while, speak a few words to her, but her wish was never fulfilled before she passed away.

Chenyu’s mother left this world full of regrets and endless resentment. Seeing her mother close her eyes for the last time, Xia Chenyu cried her heart out until she fainted at her mother’s bedside.

After burying her mother, the innately stubborn and strong Xia Chenyu swiftly pulled herself together and focused on managing the Beauty Company her mother had left behind.

Xia Chenyu wanted to fulfill her mother’s dying wish to bring down the Shen Family, their most important beauty industry, to let the Shen Family taste pain and to make Shen Dongyang regret it for the rest of his life.

Xia Chenyu’s wish was gradually coming true.

Xia Chenyu would never forget the boundless disappointment in her mother’s eyes the moment she died, and the deep affection she had for her. From that moment on, Shen Dongyang became the person Xia Chenyu hated the most in this life, despite their blood relationship as father and daughter.

In Xia Chenyu’s view, since Shen Dongyang had heartlessly driven her and her mother out of the Shen Family, no longer considering her his daughter, why should she recognize him as her father?

Thus, after that, no matter whether Shen Dongyang came personally or her half-brother Shen Huanian tried to persuade her to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the Shen Family, they received only endless mockery and deep disdain from Xia Chenyu.

"The day my mother died was the early morning of New Year’s Day, at two-fifteen... I remember it very clearly..."

With tears streaming down her face, Xia Chenyu choked up and said, "Every year at this time, I honor her with a memorial, then sit in front of her portrait and talk about my innermost thoughts. Sometimes, I feel like my mother isn’t really gone, as if she’s always by my side, watching me grow day by day, watching me eat, sleep, rest... Fang Bai, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to reject your aunt’s retention, I... I just miss my mom so much..."

Xia Chenyu said this, her shoulders trembling violently, unable to speak through her sobs.

Fang Bai sighed softly, stopped the car by the roadside, reached out his arms, gently embraced Xia Chenyu, allowing her to lean against his chest and wet his shirt with her tears.

"I want to go to your place to see your mother, if that’s okay?"

When Xia Chenyu’s crying subsided, Fang Bai patted her shoulder and softly asked.

"Mm."

Xia Chenyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It’s one-thirty now... there’s still plenty of time, we can make it..."

Fang Bai took out a tissue, wiped the tears from Xia Chenyu’s eyes and cheeks, said a few comforting words in a gentle voice, then stepped on the gas, driving the sports car to speed through the roads.

Upon arriving at Xia Chenyu’s residence, they saw that it was five minutes to two in the morning.

Xia Chenyu’s office and residence were both on the top floor of the Beauty Company’s office building. The two took the elevator straight up.

This wasn’t Fang Bai’s first time entering Xia Chenyu’s residence. He found that underneath the mature exterior of this formidable CEO, there was a hidden girlish heart. Year-round, her house would change colors, filled with a youthful and romantic atmosphere.

Under normal circumstances, when Fang Bai came to Xia Chenyu’s place, she would always joke around with him, and even make some flirtatious gestures, but today, neither of them was in the mood.

Xia Chenyu was filled with sorrow, and Fang Bai also had a solemn expression.

Xia Chenyu asked Fang Bai to sit on the living room sofa, then entered a small room next to it. When she came out, she held a portrait of her mother in both hands.

The woman in the portrait was probably in her early forties, her features delicate and lovely, bearing a resemblance to Xia Chenyu. However, there seemed to be an indelible, thick sorrow between her brows.

Xia Chenyu placed her mother’s portrait on a table in the living room and then set up an incense burner and a few offerings. After lighting incense for her mother, she knelt and kowtowed several times.

"Mom, your daughter has come again to talk with you..."

After the ritual, Xia Chenyu moved a chair to sit beside her mother’s portrait, gently caressed her mother’s face in the picture, and spoke softly.

She had barely started speaking when her eyes reddened, and tears overflowed, falling ceaselessly.

Fang Bai stepped forward, silently lit a stick of incense, and said, "Auntie, Chenyu is doing very well now. If you have spirit in heaven, you can rest easy. Rest assured, as long as I am here, Chenyu will no longer be wronged, nor will anyone dare to bully her..."

Hearing Fang Bai speak seriously, Xia Chenyu’s tears flowed even more fiercely and quickly.

"Mom, this is Fang Bai, he’s my... very, very good friend... He’s come with me to see you! Fang Bai is my savior, without him, there would be no me today... You always said while you were alive that one should be grateful and repay their debts, and I will use my life to repay him... Mom, so much has happened this year, I will tell you slowly..."

After Fang Bai finished speaking, Xia Chenyu also began to murmur softly, pouring out her heart about the year’s events.

Standing to the side and watching Xia Chenyu murmur, now joyous, now sorrowful, now crying, now laughing, Fang Bai’s heart was filled with pity.

He also moved a chair and sat next to Xia Chenyu, wrapping an arm around her delicate body, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

Who knows how long it was before Xia Chenyu’s voice gradually softened and weakened, and finally, with faint breathing, she fell asleep.

Fang Bai gently removed the portrait she was clutching in her arms, then picked up her soft and boneless body, carried her to her bedroom, carefully laid her on the bed, removed her shoes and socks, and covered her with a blanket.

"Fang Bai... don’t leave tonight, I want to sleep in your arms, can I?"

Xia Chenyu’s eyes, hazy with drowsiness, suddenly opened, and she gazed at Fang Bai with an almost pleading tone.

Although it was New Year’s Eve, a night for family reunions, how could Fang Bai bear to leave?

"Okay."

Fang Bai nodded, took off his shoes and socks, and lay beside Xia Chenyu in his clothes.

Xia Chenyu shifted slightly, snuggling into Fang Bai’s open arm like a small bird cuddling up to him, and slowly closed her eyes.

Although their bodies were touching and their breaths could be heard, their minds were calm, without a hint of improper thought.

Xia Chenyu fell asleep quickly, and she slept soundly that night, always with a girlish sweet smile on her lips.

The next morning, when Fang Bai walked out of the Beauty Company building, the security guards on overnight duty at the door all widened their eyes in disbelief.

They could never have imagined that President Xia, the goddess who all the men in the company regarded as inviolable and sacred, had actually had a man stay over!

The few guards exchanged glances, took out their phones, ready to capture Fang Bai’s image to show off to their colleagues after the New Year, but they found the man turned his head and gave them a look, leaving them a profound and inscrutable smile before his figure flickered a few times and disappeared around the corner of the distant street.
