Young Master Liem
Chapter 53 Stories of the past

Tio San Ing grows up to be a beautiful young girl, but still feels lonely like her childhood. He felt he had no friends, could not get along as he should. His frustration with the world makes him act harshly on everyone around him who he deems fake, pretending to be good, even though the truth is that they are all afraid of him.

But that day he heard glad tidings. He had been betrothed to a young man, the only child of his parents' friend. Because they both have only children and have long been good friends, the two couples want their children to be united in marriage.

The young man was named Liem Soei Ham, the most handsome man Tio San Ing had ever seen. The girl loved it from the first sight. He hoped that if he married the handsome young man, he would not feel lonely anymore. But Soei Ham never showed that he was interested in San Ing, even though the girl tried to present herself as beautiful as possible.

That was because Soei Ham had a lover, but their relationship was not sanctioned by the parents of the young man.

“I have to be frank, that you are not the first girl in my life. I've loved others, I hope you understand my situation.” Liem Soei Ham explains to Tio San Ing, his love for another girl.

“I don't care. The important thing is that I can marry you.”

“How can you marry someone who has no feelings for you?”

“I'll try to make you love me. I hope someday, you can accept me and love me.”

“I can't promise anything, but so that I don't be considered disobedient to my parents, I will marry you. Now you know my reason, why I received this matchmaking.”

San Ing is very happy because the young man wants to marry her, even though Soei Ham has not loved San Ing. The girl felt she had a chance and hoped that one day, that reality would change. And Liem Soei Ham will love her too.

The marriage eventually takes place, but San Ing's clumsy demeanor and not knowing how to get along and treat others leaves Soei Ham disappointed. Even though the girl had dressed up as beautifully as possible, she was still unable to move her husband's heart to love him.

San Ing who had hoped that the marriage would make him not lonely anymore, turned out to be very wrong. Her husband traveled a lot and left her alone at home. In the end, she knew that her husband was still in a relationship with his girlfriend.

The woman did not feel the happiness of marriage, but the marriage made her even more sad. He never felt hurt, because no one could hurt him, because of the power he had.

But to her husband, San Ing has no such power. She could not scold her husband, because if she did, she was afraid of divorce. The woman ultimately had to sacrifice her feelings at all times without being able to complain to anyone. The climax occurred when her husband brought the baby of his affair home.

“San Ing, this baby is my son. The child's mother just died. I hope you can accept it to stay with us, however she is Wan Siang's sister.”

At that time San Ing felt very angry and sad, but he had no choice but to accept the baby. Beyond a doubt, Wan Siang liked the baby and considered him his own sister.

One day San Ing entered the room where the baby was put to sleep. There were no nannies to look after her. Furious, San Ing looked at the baby named Sun Kwan. The woman felt her heart churn and flames of anger burning inside her chest. Then he stretched out his hands to strangle the baby.

His hands had stretched out to the front of Sun Kwan's chest, slightly reaching his neck, and in an instant the boy could have been killed by a deadly strangulation. However, Sun Kwan's eyes suddenly opened, staring at San Ing with an innocent look and smiling at his stepmother. San Ing then pulled out his hand and unbundled his evil intentions. She goes to Sun Kwan's nanny and tells everyone that Sun Kwan is always kept away from her.

Therefore, Sun Kwan never felt close to his stepmother. Because San Ing did not want to relate to the child and was not willing to consider him his own child. Every time he got close to the weak baby, he wanted to kill him every time.

But for Sun Kwan, all he knew was that San Ing was his mother, albeit only a stepmother. He had no memories with his birth mother and throughout his experience with his stepmother, those memories were never happy.

“I can't. Because he's not my son. He is the fruit of your fault.”

Due to the stubbornness of his wife, Mr. Liem considers the woman to have no feelings and increasingly unable to love him. Had he been able to erase his grudges and be kind, perhaps Mr. Liem would have changed his mind and could have loved his wife.

Forced marriage can be the biggest mistake in human life. There is no guarantee that marriage by force will go well afterward. As happened with the household of Mr and Mrs Liem.

But despite life becoming so bitter, Sun Kwan was finally able to grow up with his stepsisters. It was because of his father's great concern for Sun Kwan. Mr. Liem gave him affection as a true father, teaching him various things so that the child could grow up to be a learned and intelligent child. Mr. Liem hopes that Sun Kwan can live a normal life like other children, also hopes that the child will be able to live a happy life.

***

Ms Rejection. Liem's relationship with Ai Lien has Sun Kwan living in anxiety. Even he did not dare to tell the unpleasant news to his lover. He was afraid to make Ai Lien sad, so for two weeks he did not come to his lover's house.

Sun Kwan's mind was covered in a deep dark cloud that made him always sad. The sadness that comes from his mind makes his body more and more weakened until finally he fell ill. Now the young man could only lie weakly on the bed, making Siaw Cing and his father sad.

Ny's Heart. Liem himself had not been able to melt down and he was closing down, unwilling to discuss Sun Kwan's problems further. Though he knew the health condition of Sun Kwan is now declining.

“San Ing, I beg you. If you continue like this, then it could be that Sun Kwan lost his life,”. Liem's.

“Why should I be in charge if he loses his life?”

“You know, the kid always thinks a lot. Illness of mind is no less dangerous than illness of the body. You've made her think sad things, so she has no hope of living happily with Miss Hu.”

“I don't care. All this time I've let her live and grow up with my kids. Don't you know, as long as I hold back my feelings, not just kill him is good.”

“You're a human or a demon, San Ing?”

Mr. Liem was very disappointed with his wife's attitude. His wife's attitude was indeed triggered by other things that had piled up and pent up. The soul poison had already settled within him.

“I wanted to be a soulful human being, but you never gave me that chance. You don't give me the love a husband deserves. If because of your abandonment and your betrayal I end up becoming a demon, don't just blame me.”

“If Sun Kwan were to die from your hatred, would you not feel regret for a lifetime?”

“Related is only for people who have feelings. If I am now like a demon, then you are the one who shaped me into this.”

“So all this time I just married a demon?”

Mr. Liem was inexhaustible with his wife's words that showed no sign that he was a human being.
