Chapter 702 My Decision, My Responsibility!

Xia Lu is sitting at the edge of the bed. A little fox is resting on the table. She is stroking the fox’s fur gently, though the fox is much older than her.

Through the window, she can see the trees in the yard. Now, the leaves have withered, displaying a bleak scene.

It is just like how she feels now.

“Miss Xia, if you really want to escape, I can help you stall Xia Shengtang so that you can leave safe and sound,” the fox whispers.

Xia Lu lowers her head to look at the fox spirit on the table and gives a bitter smile.

“Do you think you can defeat him?”

The fox spirit thinks about it and says seriously, “I guess he is at the realm of Grand Master now. I’m no match for him but I can stall him for a while. The time will be enough for you to run away.”

“Then, you will be killed by him,” Xia Lu says calmly.

The fox spirit suddenly has no idea how to respond.

It has to admit that Xia Lu is right.

Moreover, if Xia Shengtang knows that Xia Lu runs away, he will vent his anger on the fox. In this case, it will be dead for sure.

Now, being a monster is not easy.

Xia Shengtang is at the realm of Grand Master now. Even if he were only at the realm of Master, considering its capability, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with him.

“Moreover, even if I get out of the Xia Family, where can I go?” Xia Lu says with a bitter smile, “It is not difficult for him to find me…”

The fox spirit suddenly feels that Xia Lu has made a good point. Moreover, in terms of Xia Shengtang’s current cultivation level, even Gao Ge, together with the golden monkey, may not be able to defeat him. Moreover, the fox spirit also understands that Xia Lu doesn’t want to see Xia Shengtang and Gao Ge get into a fight for sure. If they really fight with each other and either of them dies, it will be a trauma for her, which is hard to be cured.

“Fox, you’d better not instigate my sister! Do you really want to court death?” A cold voice comes from outside.

The fox spirit yawns.

These several days, she has been threatened by Xia Shengtang not only once or twice. Hence, she has been used to that and got familiar with his voice. Now, she is not frightened anymore and even wants to get a sleep.

Thinking of that, she really closes her eyes and wants to sleep.

Xia Shengtang pushes open the door and walks inside. Seeing Xia Lu sitting before the window, he slightly frowns.

“There are a few more days. The people of the Xia Family are coming. You should get prepared and dress yourself up,” Xia Shengtang says in a deep voice.

Xia Lu only takes a cold look at him and says nothing.

However, her glance only angers Xia Shengtang.

“Why are you mad?” He walks to her with a sullen face. Not loud as his voice is, it sounds rather potent.

“What? You are forcing me to marry a man I dislike. Now, you are even forbidding me from being mad? I don’t deserve to be mad and depressed?” Xia Lu sneers.

Xia Shengtang feels a headache.

Although he doesn’t spend much time with Xia Lu, they are actually quite close.

When they meet occasionally, Xia Lu will stick with him all the time, calling him brother intimately.

Maybe, Xia Lu is the only person Xia Shengtang cares about in the world.

However, Xia Lu’s attitude towards him makes him so upset.

“Why can’t you understand? I’m doing this for your own good,” Xia Shengtang says patiently.

Xia Lu sneers as if she heard the most hilarious joke in the world. Then, she asks a question that puzzles Xia Shengtang, “You never surf the internet, right?”

Looking at Xia Shengtang’s confused facial expression, Xia Lu continues saying, “If you spend a little time surfing the internet, you should know that the saying ‘I’m doing this for your own good’ is really stupid.”

Xia Shengtang feels he is about to crack due to Xia Lu’s words.

More irritably, it seems that he cannot argue about what Xia Lu said.

“I know what you are thinking about but tell me, does it make any difference?” Xia Shengtang drags over the chair and sits down. He tries his best to ease his anger. If Xia Lu were not his sister, he would probably kill her. “You are still waiting for that jerk but does he care about you? You are not a kid anymore. You are a grown-up. You should be sophisticated enough. Never come back until there is a dead end? Haven’t you hit the dead end yet? Hmm?”

From Xia Shengtang’s current condition, he seems to be hysterical.

Xia Lu stares at Xia Shengtang blankly as if gazing at a stranger.

Her eyes make Xia Shengtang feel so hurt.

“I know. You still love Gao Ge but don’t do such meaningless things anymore.” Xia Shengtang restrains himself and tries to be as calm as possible. “If he really felt a thing for you, he wouldn’t have run about for Meng Jing like that. You know about it. Most ridiculously, he also made you help him search for Meng Jing. Don’t you think it is a bitter irony?”

“That was my decision. It had nothing to do with him. Besides, even without Gao Ge, I would go to look for Meng Jing. She is my friend.”

“A friend?” Xia Shengtang looks a bit weird. He wants to say something to mock her but having dithered it over for a while, he still says nothing. After all, he has met Meng Jing before. He has to admit that Meng Jing is a nice person, who has left a good impression on him.

“Forget it. You think yourself.”

After saying that, Xia Shengtang stands up and leaves.

When Xia Shengtang walks out of the room, Xia Lu suddenly stands up. With red eyes, she shouts at his back, “Xia Shengtang, don’t you think you are a hypocrite?”

Xia Shengtang stops and furrows his brows but he doesn’t turn around and look at Xia Lu behind him.

“You are saying that you are doing this for my own good. What if he dies with a few years? What if he doesn’t treat me well? What if he falls in love with others?”

“Then I will teach him a lesson for you.”

“So what? I will be happy?”

Xia Shengtang is speechless.

“So, you think you are doing this for my own good. It is so ridiculous. Because you cannot bear the consequences at all.”

Xia Shengtang says calmly, “What about Gao Ge?”

“I will tread on the path I choose. My decision, my responsibility. No need to worry about it,” Xia Lu says.

Xia Shengtang snorts and goes away faster.
