Because I simply love you
Chapter 353: Move on now

Cemetery.

Huo Xiao Fan was laughing hysterically while tears gushed out of her eyes. She didn't have any feelings for Liang Zou, naturally, but he could think of her as such a vicious woman stabbed her heart.

She never ever tried to intervene in Liang Zou and Xiao Dan's relationship, and that was what she got for being a good sister and friend.

She sneered. "Are you sure you feel bad for me? Or do you think that if you hadn't done all that, then it could have prevented Nana from separating from you lovely and happy couple? Nana would have led a different life."

Liang Zou widened his eyes. "No, Xiao Fan! I genuinely mean for you. I…" he hesitated. He knew that this would happen. Xiao Fan would never believe him.

He was always a bit arrogant and selfish. In the hospital, that night, he only thought about the safety of his wife and his children. And now it wasn't wrong for her to think that perhaps he feels guilty because indirectly, he was the cause why Nana got separated from them and also why Nana suffered all these years.

He sighed. "I know you won't believe me. In the banquet, I didn't dare to confess this."

Huo Xiao Fan asked, "Does Xiao Dan knows about this?"

He inhaled a deep breath. "…Yes."

"Heh! I cannot believe that you confessed to her."

"I did. Before coming here, I told her everything. I have already hidden this long enough."

"Ho…" Then she finally noticed that his cheek looked a bit red and slightly swollen.

She raised her brow.

Ah…so my sister already gave him a tight slap. Well, she is always dangerous if anyone mess things up.

"I see she must be furious at you."

Huo Xiao Fan felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Liang Zou stiffened and gave a wry smile. "Trust me. She was this close to call the lawyer and issue divorce papers. She had already started to pack the bags and leave the house."

Recalling that scene sent shivers across his spine. Liang Xiao Dan was mad. Like really mad. So many years wasted because of his one stupid misunderstanding which he didn't even bother to clear it out.

It was Shin who somehow brought the situation under control, or she would have already thrown the divorce papers on his face.

His complexion paled as he thought about the consequences.

"Liang Zou! You are so dead! How could you do that to my sister! You started everything! Get out of my sight!"

The whole villa thundered with her enraged voice.

Liang Zou felt as if her voice was still echoing in his ears.

"Heh! You deserve it." Xiao Fan mocked him.

Liang Zou flared a bit and gritted his teeth. "I know I did wrong, but don't forget that you also misunderstood my ten-year-old daughter for being the reason of that bastard's death!"

Her nostrils flared and she spat out in anger. "You don't need to remind me! I know!"

Silence.

Liang Zou slowly said, "We have both made some stupid mistakes, and I know that…" his gaze turned glassy, staring at the grave, "my one mistake could never bring her back. I know it's impossible, but I hope for the day if…if you could forgive me…" The last was almost a whisper.

Huo Xiao Fan said nothing.

"Now, get out from there, Zou!" Liang Xiao Dan thought that she gave enough time for him to talk to her. She couldn't wait anymore and blasted at him as soon as she came back.

Liang Zou froze. His wife glared at him, and he immediately got up to his feet.

"I…"

"Out!"

He gulped. He didn't want to anger his already furious wife.

Liang Xiao Dan then kneeled beside her sister. She also out some flowers on the grave and said after a long time. "You know that I have always been brutally honest, right?"

Huo Xiao Fan twitched her brow.

Why did she feel that she was going to get a nice earful from her?

"I am ashamed of what Zou did. Things could have been so different if you hadn't left. If Shin hadn't controlled me today, then I would have already thrown every piece of furniture on him until he would have been hospitalized for broken bones. But it is not over. Zou is going to suffer hell worse in the upcoming days."

Huo Xiao Fan could very well see his dark future.

Liang Xiao Dan noticed the other gift in her hand. "That is for Serena, right?"

She stiffened.

"I had been brutally honest with Zou, and now I think it's your turn. I am sure you wouldn't have called her yet to wish her, right?"

Huo Xiao Fan said nothing. Her silence gave the answer.

"Xiao Fan. It's now really the time to move on from your daughter's death."

She flinched at her words. She felt as if someone was strangling her.

"I am cruel, right? It was because of us that your daughter couldn't get the medical attention she needed. And it is me who is saying to move on. Hypocritical, aren't I?"

Silence.

"But Xiao Fan. You have neglected your other daughter enough."

Xiao Fan was about to say something, but Xiao Dan interrupted. "Don't say that perhaps I would never understand how it feels. I do because Nana wasn't with us all these years, either. But I never neglected Shin because of my grief over her loss. I cried every day for Nana, but only after I loved my son enough and felt that he didn't feel lonely or distant. We both lost one child, but that doesn't mean we should let it overcome us and ignore our other child who deserves the same love from his parents."

Huo Xiao Fan faltered a bit in her place.

She sighed. "Even now. You came here in the cemetery first to be with your daughter, who is no more. It's not wrong, but did you think of calling up Serena, wish her happy birthday and perhaps ask her to come here with you to visit her sister together? Perhaps, Serena was waiting for you to do that."

Huo Xiao Fan bit her lip hard until she could taste the metallic blood.

"All these years, you did it alone, but Serena is just as much of a family to her as are you. Until how long will you force everyone to be distant because of your daughter? You are pushing away every alive person from you who loves you so much only so that you could be with your daughter here in the cemetery. Aren't you tired? Don't you wish to be happy and smiling with your family? Serena, Shen, Liwei…your family Xiao Fan. And I am damn sure that your daughter here would be wishing the same for you. Mommy, let me go, and please be happy now."
