Chapter 321 - That incident...
"Do you forgive me then?" Zhang Zhehan asked nervously. He fidgeted with his fingers as he glanced at Li Xiaolu from time to time.
"First, tell me all about Long Xun and your feud. What incident was he talking about? I want to know everything and then I will decide whether I want to forgive you or not." Li Xiaolu said with a sigh. She knew that even if she wanted to be angry with Zhang Zhehan, she wouldn't be able to.
Zhang Zhehan nodded.
"Xiaolu, I never wanted to hide about Long Xun matter. I just didn't get the time to tell you about him." Zhang Zhehan explained.
Li Xiaolu nodded.
"I don't know how much you know about the four prestigious families but I'll tell about our lineage." Zhang Zhehan said. "Now there are only three prestigious families remaining - the Zhangs, the Tangs and the Lins. But a few years ago there was one more prestigious family. It was the Longs and Long Xun belonged to that family."
"The prestigious families have a very long ancient history and we have the royal blood in us. And that's why everybody respects and fears us so much." Zhang Zhehan explained.
"Now for that incident..." Zhang Zhehan paused for a bit. Thinking about that horrible night he sighed before continuing, "Now the four prestigious might look like business rivals of each other for the pursue world, but we were very close. We considered ourselves a very big family. Our parents knew each other and they were very good friends. And because of their friendship, there was always a family gathering of all the four families at least once a month. That's how Tang Jun, Long Xun, the Lin brothers, and I become friends."
"I was especially close to Long Xun. He was my best friend and he was just like my brother. We had such a great bond when we were young that I never thought that one day everything would change. That day, that day... I still can't forget what happened that day. It is my nightmare Xiaolu, that I can't get rid of." Zhang Zhehan said in a low voice.
"That day I lost my best friend. Everything changed on that day," he said painfully.
"What happened that day?" Li Xiaolu asked as she rubbed Zhang Zhehan's arm for support.
"As usual it was the day of our family gathering. As Auntie Qin was pregnant at that time and her due date was very near so the gathering was held at the Lin Mansion. Everybody was there. My parents along with Long Xun's father, Tang Jun's parents were in the hall talking with the Lins. These gatherings were very fun for everybody because the a.d.u.l.ts would have their own entertainment while we as kids would have our fun."
"Now, the Lin Mansion is big so while the a.d.u.l.ts were having their fun in the hall we kids had the whole mansion to play. I remember I was playing some game with Long Xun, Tang Jun, and the Lin brothers in their room.
"While playing the game, I felt thirsty so I ran towards the kitchen or get a bottle of water. I was just around the corner of the kitchen when I heard a low scream. It was Auntie Qian's voice. Startled, I looked inside the kitchen and I saw Uncle Long misbehaving with Auntie Qian." Zhang Zhehan narrated.
"Auntie Qian screamed as she pushed Long Xun's father away very harshly. After pushing him away she ran past me while holding her stomach. I ran after her to the hall where I saw Auntie Qin was crying in her husband's arms and she telling something to him."
"Everybody was angry after hearing Auntie Qin's words. Nobody could believe that Long Xun's father tried to such a thing to Auntie Qian. When Long Xun's father came out of the kitchen, there wasn't even a once of guilt or remorse on his face. Instead, he was smiling like a crazy person and he started provoking Uncle Lin."
"I don't know what happened to him that night, Xiaolu. He was acting so weird. Long Xun's father said horrible things about Auntie Qin and then he started talking rubbish about my mother. By this time, Uncle Lin and my father couldn't take it anymore so they rushed towards Long Xun's father and started beating him."
"This was the moment when Long Xun and the rest of the kids came downstairs. Now when Long Xun saw his father being beaten like that, he was shocked. He tried to run towards his father to save him but I grabbed his hand."
"Long Xun was angry. He tried to struggle against me to free his hands. I tried to tell him what his father had done to Auntie Qian." Zhang Zhehan said. "Xiaolu, I can still remember the look on his face when I spoke about his father's deeds. He looked so shocked, so hurt. He looked at me like I have betrayed him."
"By the time, Long Xun's father was beaten very badly. His face was damaged and he was bleeding. In anger, Uncle Lin asked his servants to throw Long Xun's father out of the mansion."
"Two servants held Long Xun's father's hand and they threw his out of the mansion. Somehow Long Xun freed himself from my grip and ran towards his father before we could stop him. Long Xun's father was in a very bad state. Long Xun held his father, tears were running down from his cheeks as he glared at everybody. Before leaving, Long Xun looked at me with anger, and then they were gone."
"What happened next?"
"That night was an unforgettable night for everybody. Nobody could imagine that Long Xun's father would do something like that because till that moment he was a very good man. Nobody knew why he behaved like that. Auntie Qian was Long Xun's father's best friend and she was like a mother to Long Xun. So why did Long Xun's father tried to molest her? Why did he do it? Nobody knew why..."
