OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
The 457 BERAT episode
Silent and tense, the entire room filled with Li San's family, only able to be silent listening to one by one the edict he delivered. No one can guess the final plot that deviated from the original expectations, the person who was predicted to be the successor of the famous Li clan was actually re-held on
people who really have blood ties, and are very capable.
"I ask that you all gather here, for there is something important that you should know. It's about my decision, about the continuation of the Li clan.... I originally chose Jun as my replacement, but after I realized the mistakes in my past, I had steadily changed my decision. I appointed my daughter, Li Yue Hwa as the successor of the Li clan. All the business I held before, as well as all the assets will be inherited in his name."
Weini gasped, hearing her name announced as the successor to her famous family fortune. He hurried to his knees in front of his father to subtly refuse. While the others, both Liang Jia, to his four elder sisters, to Xiao Jun the family no one dared to comment.
“Thank you for the kindness of my father chose me, but I'm sorry father... Yue Hwa did not mean to offend father, only that this trust was too heavy for me. Hwa felt the other sisters were better prepared for this role, father. Please reconsider..” Lirih Weini in prostrate position.
Li San was silent for a moment, he still looked tired and stubbornly unwilling to receive any more treatment despite only being infused. Seeing Weini's refusal to insist on not accepting his word, Li San spoke up with a sharp look.
“Does anyone object to my decision? Just say!” Li San's.
The four Weini sisters looked at each other for a moment, Yue Yan as the eldest son shook his head slowly, before long the others also joined their eldest brother's actions.
“We don't mind, dad.” Said Yue Yan steadily, representing the inner voice of his sisters.
“I obey whatever you decide, my husband.” Liang Jia said slowly.
Weini looked at the faces of one by one her sister and mother, it was hard for her to believe their decision was so compact. Though Weini had thought that one of her brothers, especially Yue Xin and Yue Xiao would strongly oppose this decision. Since childhood, he did not like his two brothers, but it turns out time has changed everything, including their treatment of Weini.
Li San smiled faintly at the sign that he was satisfied with the cohesiveness of his children. For the first time in his life, he realized that whatever the sex of his son, they were still his flesh and blood that must have loved him. Although the successor to the lineage remained recognized from the male lineage, but he had already thought of his decision with
mature before changing it.
“Good, I'm glad to see you guys understand. Later I hope you, brothers live well despite having their own lives. Don't forget where you came from! I decided on Yue Hwa as my successor not without reason. Jun I already considered as my son, Yue Hwa is clearly my biological child, this good destiny brings together a soul mate. Trusting Yue Hwa, was tantamount to entrusting Jun. I can remove my throne calmly after this.” Said Li San slowly but after conveying such a length, he could sigh in relief.
“Dad, don't talk like that. Father still remains on the throne for now and beyond.” Said Weini who felt increasingly uneasy about the realm of their conversation.
Li San smiled faintly, he looked at Weini with the same gaze to the six-year-old. It was as if repeating his past failures as a father who failed to provide protection to his daughter. “You guys come out for a while except Liang Jia, I want to talk to you both.” Li San Lirih.
The request silenced all who were there, one by one they came out according to the will of the great master. Weini assisted Xiao Jun to get up from a sitting position prostrate, although with a heavy heart he had to obey his father's orders. Liang Jia who was now sitting at the side of the bed, looked at her husband
who's lying there.
Li San slightly moved his body slightly tilted, swiftly Liang Jia helping him. “Help me wake up, I want to sit down for a while.” Li San.
bed. Li San's breathing sounded a little stingy, it seemed that he was starting to get tired from expelling his energy. Liang Jia sat nearby and looked at Li San worriedly.
“Jia, I can feel my time is soon...” Li San.
Liang Jia shook her head then hurriedly covered her husband's mouth with the tip of his forefinger, hoping that the old man would not continue the conversation that he did not expect. “Your time is still much, we will see our children get married and have children.”
Li San smiled bitterly, he grabbed Liang Jia's hand blocking his lips. He held her hand gently, hoping to hold it forever. “Everyone will definitely arrive in those days, Jia. I could feel it, in my long sleep at that moment.I was trapped in the darkness, there was a sound that.
it's scary to say that my time has come. I was so scared, I thought the darkness would swallow me up forever. Until I heard Yue Hwa's voice, heard the prayer he had recited for me. Suddenly I came back to my senses and saw it in front of me, I was more and more convinced it was not a nightmare but the fact that I was leaving. Ywa Hwa held me back temporarily, her great love for me could feel. I... I am very lucky to have a child as good as him.”
Liang Jia listened seriously, she also witnessed how hard Weini's efforts to hope for Li San's recovery. “Then you don't leave him that fast! You made it back from that dimension, which means you're still strong enough to survive here. Be strong, I beg you.. someday let us go together from this world after making sure our children are happy.” Liang Jia's voice began to be heavy, she was really whining in front of her husband, not willing to hear the saying.
Li San was determined to toughen up, despite the overwhelming temptation to break into the defenses of his heart. Destinies
and age is not the power of man, even though he desperately wants to continue to live in the midst of loved ones.
“Jia... I beg of you, after my departure take care of the marriage of Yue Hwa and Xiao Jun. Reassure them that this is my word, do not let them go through three years of mourning. You understand?” Li San Lirih.
Liang Jia really could not stand it anymore, if he knew that Li San's heart's intention to talk to him with four eyes was to listen to this sad message, Liang Jia chose to avoid it alone. “No, I do not understand and do not want to understand! Never mind, you will definitely recover again, don't talk digress again.” Rejected Liang Jia, he painstakingly controlled his feelings so as not to cry.
Li San sighed so heavily that Liang Jia turned to him, reflexively Liang Jia picked up a drink on the table and helped the man drink. Slowly Li San began to be able to catch his breath even though it was not entirely good. “Jia... Just accept this reality... I can't hold on much longer, please take good care of yourself. Live happily, I'm sorry to have wasted a wife as good as you.”
Liang Jia sobbed, he was reluctant to wipe away those falling tears. It was left to wet Li San's hand. A very difficult request for him, even though in the married life with Li San, could only count the fingers of the moment of happiness of the two of them and the rest was just the inner pressure he got. But she never expected anything bad to happen to her husband, including facing the end of life that turned out to be faster than her. He chose silence, not willing to give an answer to the heavy request.
“Call Yue Hwa... I want to talk to him.” Li San who felt his time with Liang Jia was quite up here.
Liang Jia nodded, he slowly stood up about to leave Li San, but his hand was suddenly pulled again. Liang Jia turned his head and saw the sad look on Li San's face, it really made his heart slice.
“I really leave the rest of my happiness to you. Please grant my request Jia.” Lirih Li San laboriously, his gaze radiating immense hope on his wife.
Liang Jia held back the sobbing, with a heavy heart he turned around then walked quickly leaving the old man who was sitting weakly staring at his disappearance.
