Chapter 1181: She Only Needed to Give Him a Chance

Xia Jingshu placed a hand on her forehead. Her forehead was full of wrinkles and under the light, her graying hair looked like strands of silver which made her look even older.
She coughed softly and it seemed like she had caught a cold.
“Yan Yan…” Xia Jingshu’s voice grew even softer as she said, “I really regret persuading Ye Hao to marry Han Xue.”
Xia Jingshu felt very upset. After Han Xue married into the Ye family, she never had a day of peace and this madwoman hadn’t even reflected upon her own actions after five years in prison. She even attempted to kill Xia Jingshu’s son and granddaughter.
He Xiyan listened quietly to Xia Jingshu but she didn’t respond. She stared out of the window and looked at the high-rise buildings and bright neon lights outside.
She didn’t want to listen to Xia Jingshu’s words but Han Xue was extremely vicious. She was surprised to find out how much Han Xue hated her when she didn’t think they shared a bitter relationship.
He Xiyan had already resolved to let Han Xue rot in jail for the rest of her life. She didn’t want Han Xue to do anything extreme that could harm Xi Xi or herself.
Xia Jingshu couldn’t help but ask when she saw that He Xiyan wasn’t responding, “Yan Yan, are you listening?”
“Go on,” He Xiyan said.
She naturally knew what Xia Jingshu was trying to say.
Xia Jingshu paused for a moment before she said, “Ye Hao was reluctant to marry Han Xue six years ago. He no longer had any feelings for her but I persuaded him to marry her because…” Xia Jingshu’s heart ached when she got to this part.
She wanted to smash her head against the wall when she remembered how she forced Ye Hao to marry that cursed woman because of a grandchild who wasn’t even biologically related to her.
He Xiyan turned around and looked at Xia Jingshu who looked like she had something to say.
She guessed that Xia Jingshu had probably done so because of Han Xue’s and Ye Yi’s child.
One would reap whatever they sowed. Her ex-mother-in-law favored boys over girls and distanced herself from Xi Xi because of Han Xue. This led to Xi Xi being reluctant to bond with her grandmother.
Xia Jingshu shook her head in embarrassment. She felt as though her heart was being torn into pieces each time she remembered the past. She was getting on in age and didn’t have many years left but all she wanted was for her home to feel like a home again.
“Yan Yan…” Xia Jingshu said as she took He Xiyan’s hand in hers. She said pleadingly, “Please listen to me and forgive Ye Hao. He truly loves you and he has always been waiting for you to forgive him and give him another chance even though so many years have passed. He would definitely treat you well as long as you give him another chance.”
Then, Xia Jingshu started to cough.
It seemed as though she had actually caught a cold.
He Xiyan turned away but her heart was beating erratically and her tightly knitted brows showed that she was either hesitating or conflicted about starting another relationship with Ye Hao.
She was not immune to his advances but she had long given up hope on marriage and had no desire to get married again.
She dug out a piece of tissue from her pocket and handed it to Xia Jingshu.
She thought for a moment before she said, “Auntie, to be honest, I have no intention of getting married again.”
She was telling the truth and she didn’t want Xia Jingshu to try to persuade her to get together with Ye Hao.
Xia Jingshu’s grip tightened around He Xiyan’s hands and she looked anxiously at her-ex-daughter-in-law.
