Pursuing the CEO

Pursuing the CEO
31. Grief


"The leader of the gods erased my wife's memory and made new memories for my wife. Can you guess what memory the leader of the gods created?" xie Shan Nu suddenly uttered a rhetorical sentence.


Of course Lin Lin didn't know what to answer after hearing that question. So Lin just shook his head and allowed Xie Shan Nu to continue telling stories.


"He made memories to my wife as if we were close friends, but we never loved each other. Other memories such as the husband of my wife having died were even made by the god leader" Xie Shan Nu said in a very soft tone.


Right now Xie Shan Nu had even cried. The current Lin Lin did not know how to respond after seeing the tears from his father-in-law had descended slowly and had instantly become swift when Lin Lin still became nervous.


"Father-in-law, if the father is unable to continue his story then do not be forced. I'm really fine if my father-in-law stops this story halfway" said Lin Lin quickly for fear of making Xie Shan Nu recall those bleak and sad times.


But somehow Lin Lin persuaded Xie Shan Nu not to continue his story anymore, Xie Shan Nu continued to insist on continuing the story even if it left his old wounds re-scratched and exposed once again.


After seeing how stubborn his Xie Shan Nu was, he, Lin Lin no longer persuaded Xie Shan Nu not to continue with her story because Lin Lin himself respected the decision of his father-in-law who had decided to tell this difficult story to Lin Lin's.


If Lin Lin kept insisting on himself and told Xie Shan Nu there was no need to continue with the story, then it would be considered disrespectful and disrespectful of his decision from Xie Shan Nu who had fought desperately to tell Lin Lin that briefly.


After a while later, the cry of Xie Shan Nu only began to subside then after taking a deep breath several times, then Xie Shan Nu again continued the story that was cut off in the middle of the road.


"So from then on, my wife who had currently become a goddess could only remember that we were a close friend and had no other relationship than that. Imagine how much pain I had to endure when dealing with my wife but I couldn't hug myself and say that I loved her so much" said Xie Shan Nu.


Lin Lin knew how poignant his taste was. Although Lin Lin had never experienced that, but Lin Lin knew that for Xie Shan Nu it was the heaviest suffering in his life.


"Since then I have begun to isolate him and only occasionally appear as an emperor. After Xie Jun Hao became more mature, I handed over the throne that should not have been handed over to Xie Jun Hao. Xie Jun Hao had to bear the burden of being an emperor at such a young age because of his weak father. I feel sorry as a father" said Xie Shan Nu.


Lin Lin could see the deep look of regret on Xie Shan Nu's face. Lin Lin knew how difficult it was for a father to do things that weighed on his own child.


Lin Lin shook his head then looked at his father-in-law with a gentle gaze, "The father-in-law is not weak. Perhaps I myself would also say that father-in-law should not have handed such a heavy burden to Xie Jun Hao at his young age. But as for the father-in-law is someone who is weak then I disagree with that opinion."


"What do you mean, Lin Lin?" xie Shan Nu asked not to understand.


Lin Lin took his breath to start his initial self speaking explaining to Xie Shan Nu what the meaning of the words he had just said.


Lin Lin looked at Xie Shan Nu with a very serious eye gaze then began to speak with a serious look on his face as well.


"The father-in-law is not at all weak. When the father-in-law faced such difficulties, the father-in-law did not give up but the father-in-law still chose to be close to the mother-in-law even though the mother-in-law had forgotten the father-in-law. I myself can also guess how the pain faced by the father-in-law to stay close to the mother-in-law even if only limited to friends and can not hug and release the longing to the person whose father-in-law be loved. I understand how the pain is.


"But the father-in-law remained steadfast with all that. It is a strong thing, not a weak thing. If the father-in-law was someone who was weak, then the father-in-law would have given up on the father-in-law's life by now" Lin Lin explained in words that made Xie Shan Nu moved.


Xie Shan Nu shed his tears back, of course all the memories of him along with his wife were recalled back in Xie Shan Nu's mind.


But there was nothing that Xie Shan Nu could do other than continue this life. Never give up on things that are not important.


Lin Lin sighed then smiled faintly looking at his father-in-law who was still crying.


"Dad-in-law, would you like to hear a word from me?" asked Lin Lin with a sweet smile on her face.


Xie Shan Nu nodded her head even though tears were not stopping to drip down from her eyelids.


"A person who is strong and still lives his life even though he is facing difficulties in his life is someone who is the most powerful in this world. While someone who when faced with a problem in his life and thought it would be better if he gave up, they are the weakest people.


"A person's strength in this world is not only measured by how big his cultivation base is, nor is it measured by how rich he is, but by how resilient he is when faced with a problem. Father-in-law is very strong to stay strong even though he can only look at his mother-in-law without being able to hug her and let go of her longing," said Lin Lin to give spirit to Xie Shan Nu.
