BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376 Biggest mistake
This was the first time he succeeded and the old man was truly happy. But looking at Sei at this moment, old man Zhao’s heart broke. This was not the outcome he wanted. He didn’t expect Sei to rage to the point that he seemed to have lost his humanity.
Why? Why did it come into this? Where did it go wrong?
Just as the heart broken old man questioned where it went wrong, his eyes landed on the girl in army clothes and his eyes widened in disbelief. He saw the blood all over her and he felt like everything was over. Old man Zhao finally understood why his grandson suddenly went berserk, and this caused his heart to sink as the last shred of hope left him. ’Why? Didn’t I tell them all not to touch her?’ Looking at the bloods all over her, old man Zhao could only bow his head down in disbelief. It was all over for him, now. There was no going back anymore...
However, just as the old man was about to give up his dream of getting his grandson back into their family, something suddenly popped in his brain and the great hopelessness and despair in his eyes slowly dissipated as a small flicker of hope lit up inside him. He then started to walk towards the girl.
The old man closed in on her and on his signal, the two frozen men, whose eyes were locked onto the monster just a moment ago, let go of Davi.
That moment, Davi’s eyes fell towards this gray-haired old man and the moment she saw those familiar silver-gray eyes, she somehow could already tell that this old man was Sei’s relative by blood. In the next moment, her assumption was proven to be correct when the old man spoke.
"Young Miss, I’m Zhao Jianhong. I am Seiji’s biological grandfather." He suddenly said and before Davi could even react, the noble looking old man, who was still oozing with elegance and power despite the obvious desperate look in his eyes, suddenly bowed his head to her as if he was asking a favour from a mighty queen.
Davi was stunned at what he did that she didn’t know how to react. W-what’s going on? Why was Sei’s grandfather bowing his head?
Before Davi could even find a word to say or make a move, the old man raised his face and looked at her in the eyes.
Old man Zhao had finally realized just who this woman was in his grandson’s life. She was indeed right to call her another Helen of Troy. Kidnapping this woman would be the cause of the downfall of the Zhao clan at this point. He didn’t know that this woman was capable of turning a monster into an even greater monster. He realized that his biggest mistake and the cause of this unfortunate turn of events was that he didn’t know just how important this woman was to Sei.
If this continued, especially now that she was hurt like this, old man Zhao could already foresee the worst. His idiotic son already caused the death of his grandson’s dearest mother and that was the reason why Sei cut all ties with them. And now, he also seemed to have unknowingly harmed another important woman in his life? Why was fate so cruel? If only he knew that this woman means the world to Sei, old man Zhao would have treated her even better or he might even tried talking to her instead, however, it’s too late now.
Somehow, this realization caused the old man to almost break down in tears. It was because, he was sure that there was no way Sei would forgive the Zhao clan now. How could he ever face his ancestors now when he dies?
In great despair, the old man could only resort to this last ray of hope in front of him. He wanted to at least try and do something to fix this situation. He was thinking that if Helen of Troy caused the downfall of Troy, could this lady do the opposite and save their family?
"Young Miss, please forgive me. I didn’t know that my men injured you like this. This was not what I wanted to happen. Please, I am deeply asking for your forgiveness. You can demand anything as compensation after this, even if you want my life, I would give it to you gladly. I’m just asking you to forgive my careless decision and ask my grandson not to destroy the Zhao clan because of this." The old man pleaded and Davi immediately felt the sincerity and despair in his eyes. Well, Davi actually knew from the very start that her kidnapper never meant to hurt her. If this old man had an evil motive, he wouldn’t have used this kind of obvious and easy kidnapping method in the first place. If he really wanted to threaten Sei by using her, he would have done a more extreme method which have a higher success rate. However, this old man didn’t do anything more than kidnapping her.
Davi also didn’t understand but looking at this old man’s eyes, something inside her was whispering to her not to doubt him. After all, there was actually something a bit off with this situation. Why was he apologizing to her? Why did he think that his men hurt her?
Davi didn’t understand, however, as soon as she noticed the blood on her body, her eyes widened. I-is this why Sei went berserk? Because he thought they hurt her?
Somehow, Davi’s head was starting to ache. She raised her head to look at Sei but the moment she saw Sei bring down the last of the five guards down, his monstrous eyes fell towards the old man before her and he began to move. He was like a beast who was about to devour everyone who blocked the way towards his wife.
At that moment, Davi could already tell who was it that he will attack next so she immediately moved. She ran past the old man and met the raging monster.
She jumped onto him and she wrapped her hands round him tight as she could, trying to chain him with her body.
"Sei! Stop! I’m alright. I’m not actually injured. I was the one who injured those people. The blood all over me isn’t mine so please calm down. Please..." Davi pleaded but even though Sei seemed to have felt that it was her, he still moved his hand and held her shoulder as he attempted to pull away from her.
"Darling, I said stop! Look at me. Please..." Davi continued as she caught his face. But when she saw his dangerous eyes still covered with nothing but rage and bloodlust, Davi’s heart quivered. However, as she held him, for some reason, the scene where Hinari kissed Zaki yesterday appeared in Davi’s head, and in the next moment...
She kissed him...
