Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1040: Let’s Not Meet Again

"On the anniversary of your wife’s death, you had a few drinks too many, and then you did that to Xuexue? What do you take Xuexue for?"

"Elder Loh, you can hit me, scold me, even kill me if you want, but please don’t be angry with Teacher, lest it brings harm to you both!"

"Leave!"

Elder Loh was so furious that he was past anger, and he only wished for Xiao Shen to disappear from his sight immediately.

Yet Xiao Shen still remained kneeling.

"Did you not hear me when I told you to leave, or are you deaf?"

Elder Loh’s tone was calm, yet it carried an authoritative pressure.

"Your one mistake caused our Xuexue to fight for her life to give birth to the child in her womb, ultimately sacrificing her own life, and she died carrying a shameful reputation. You not only made a mistake, you practically took Xuexue’s life!" Old Lady Li said painfully, "Please leave, and don’t come back in the future, let’s just consider our mentor-student bond at an end!"

Waving her hand, Old Lady Li wiped away her tears and drove Xiao Shen away.

"Teacher..."

Tears streamed down Xiao Shen’s face, "I more than anyone wished for Xuexue to live well, but the mistake is already made. I came today to take responsibility for my error, and I will do whatever you and Elder Loh say."

"Just go, and let’s not meet again in the future!"

Old Lady Li’s demeanor was filled with pain.

Noticing that his mentors were both deeply angered by what he said, Xiao Shen hesitated for a long while before finally standing up, afraid that if he continued kneeling, the two elders might suffer from the stress.

He knew things couldn’t be rushed, so slowly he turned around: "Teacher, Elder Loh, you don’t want to see me now... So I will leave, but I will definitely take responsibility for what I must, goodbye."

Opening the door to leave, Xiao Shen moved like a puppet devoid of soul, stepping towards his residence.

"What on earth is all this?!"

Old Lady Li muffled her cries with her hand, saying, "How could he do that, how could he treat Xuexue like that? Didn’t he love his deceased wife deeply, why then did he have that ’accident’ he mentioned with Xuexue? I always thought he was a good student, upright in character, but is that how he repaid me?"

"Saying anything now is too late, he didn’t tell us about it at Xuexue’s request, partly because of his love for his late wife. But ultimately, the decision was Xuexue’s.

Perhaps she saw things clearly, knowing Xiao Shen’s heart was only for his deceased wife, and thus she wouldn’t agree to be with him... As for that ’accident’ he mentioned,

I’m afraid Xuexue was more at fault. Otherwise, she could have pushed Xiao Shen away, and if she couldn’t, she could have shouted for help, but she didn’t, indicating she had feelings for Xiao Shen, especially when he was drunk..."

Hearing Elder Loh’s analysis, Old Lady Li shook her head repeatedly: "No, it can’t be, Xuexue was a very self-respecting child, she would never ambiguously end up in such a situation with Xiao Shen."

"Think it over carefully, our Xuexue was simple and without scheming, but she was very determined, otherwise, she wouldn’t have concealed that matter from us, or kept her pregnancy a secret for two or three months."

With that, Elder Loh sighed heavily, his expression weary as he said, "Xuexue liked that boy!"

"If she liked him, why didn’t she tell us? Xiao Shen is my student, if she had told us, would I have stopped them from being together?"

"It’s all been said, Xuexue knew Xiao Shen’s heart was only for his deceased wife, she saw it too clearly, that’s probably why she didn’t say anything to us. Besides, when have you seen that boy showing interest in Xuexue?"
