Chapter 2315 - 2316: Tell Me, Would She Hate Me?
Although Dragon Head was very curious about who Ye Xunhuan referred to as the king’s old friend, he still helped Ye Xunhuan contact the king, and directly reached him right after hanging up the phone.
Dragon Head did not beat around the bush with the king; he went straight to the point, telling the king what Ye Xunhuan had said to him.
When the king learned that Ye Xunhuan mentioned an old friend wanting to see him, he fell into thought. If it were indeed his old friend, then why not come directly to him, but instead choose to reach out through Ye Xunhuan?
Doubt, a profound doubt, arose in the king’s heart.
Despite the confusion within, the king still picked up the phone to contact Ye Xunhuan.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was sitting in his office, smoking a cigarette, and quietly watching his phone on the desk. He believed Dragon Head could contact the king at any time. He also thought that once the king knew the news, he would definitely contact him, so he was waiting for the king’s call.
Soon, Ye Xunhuan’s phone rang. Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan did not hesitate at all and answered the call swiftly!
"Hello..."
"Ye Xunhuan, I already know what you asked Dragon Head to tell me." The king went straight to the point: "Tell me, who is this old friend who contacted me through you but didn’t come to see me directly."
At this moment, the king thought that if it was his old friend, they must know his identity. It wouldn’t be difficult to find him, yet they chose to go through Ye Xunhuan. This made the king very puzzled and curious about what kind of old friend it was.
"She wanted to find you herself but couldn’t contact you at all," Ye Xunhuan said calmly.
"Is that so?" the king murmured, "I don’t recall having such an old friend!"
"The owner of the handkerchief!"
On the other end of the phone, when the king heard these five words, it was as if he were struck by lightning. His body involuntarily trembled, and a trace of excitement slowly appeared on his previously calm face.
"Where is she?"
"Come to Jiangzhong City!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "I’ll arrange for you two to meet."
"Alright, I’ll head to Jiangzhong City immediately, at the latest by this afternoon," the king responded heavily.
"King, actually, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. Since she wanted me to contact you, she is sure to meet you. I just think you should consider what to say when you see her, how to start the conversation!"
"Back then, it was you who wronged her!"
The king fell into silence. Just after hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, he was solely focused on the excitement and the thought of meeting Wang’s mother, neglecting what he should do after meeting and how to start the conversation. Now that Ye Xunhuan had mentioned it, the king immediately remembered but was again puzzled.
Yes, after meeting, what should he say? After all, it was him who wronged the other party back then.
Seeing the king’s silence, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "King, think it over!"
Then, Ye Xunhuan was about to hang up the phone, but at that moment, the king’s voice immediately came through to Ye Xunhuan’s ears.
"How has she been all these years?"
"At first, life was awful, but now she lives well," Ye Xunhuan summarized briefly.
What Ye Xunhuan referred to as awful was, of course, the days when Wang’s mother was viewed as a disgrace by her parents while she was pregnant.
"It’s all my fault for dragging her down," the king said with a bitter smile, "How did you find her?"
"King, once you meet her, everything will be clear, no need to ask me!"
"Since you put it that way, I won’t say more. But can you tell me, is she married?"
"She married," Ye Xunhuan said honestly, "but her husband is no longer here. As for why he’s not here, don’t ask me, as I don’t know either!"
"Does she have children?"
"Yes," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "she has a daughter, whom you’ve met!"
"I’ve met?"
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan replied candidly, "Remember King’s previous action?"
"I remember!"
"At that time, her daughter was on that ship too, the youngest girl there. I don’t know if you have any impression!"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the king slowly fell into contemplation.
Then, a memory of Wang Zilin’s figure flashed in the king’s mind: "Are you talking about that sweet-looking girl?"
"Yes, that’s her!"
"No wonder when I saw her back then, I felt a sense of déjà vu." The king sighed deeply: "So she’s her daughter!"
Actually, Ye Xunhuan really wanted to tell the king that not only was she her daughter but also his daughter, but he felt such words were more appropriate coming from Wang’s mother.
So, Ye Xunhuan chose to remain silent.
"What is your relationship with her daughter?"
"What relationship do you want us to have?"
"If you are her man, Ye Xunhuan, then leave, the farther, the better, and never come back." The king said with resignation, "Even if you come back, wait until you can easily kill me, then come back; otherwise, don’t come back."
"King, why, showing a kind heart?"
"I already wronged her and can’t ruin her daughter’s life too," the king said bitterly, "Ye Xunhuan, I admit, the hatred between us is great, completely to the point of one of us must die, but currently, you’re no match for me. Even if you kill me, you won’t survive!"
"The Protectorate is far more complicated than you imagine!"
"Are you talking about Lin Yuhai?"
"So you already know!"
"King, I want your life and Lin Yuhai’s life, too," Ye Xunhuan said heavily, "letting me go is impossible!"
"Of course, I can also clearly tell you, her daughter is not my woman, we’re just friends. She only regards me as her big brother, and I only treat her as my little sister. Besides that, there is no other relationship!"
"Brother and sister?" the king took a deep breath, "Do you have a good relationship?"
"Anyone who dares to harm her, I’m willing to risk my life against them, what do you think?"
"Ye Xunhuan, if I kill you, will she hate me?"
Ye Xunhuan remained silent.
He truly didn’t know how to answer. After all, the king is Wang Zilin’s father. If the king did kill him, would Wang Zilin hate him?
This question is completely difficult to answer. Similarly, if Ye Xunhuan killed the king, would Wang Zilin hate him? That is also an answer that no one knows!
"King, let’s talk after you come. Once you meet her, whatever you want to say, we can discuss. As for the feud between you and me, I can set it aside for now. Let’s settle it after the Spring Festival!"
