Chapter 981 - 985: Blossoming and Bearing Fruit
"Uncle Quan didn’t misunderstand; it’s Young Master who hasn’t faced his heart properly." Uncle Quan dismissed Xia Qingqian’s words, "Then what do you truly feel? What do you think about Young Master?"Xia Qingqian pondered for a while before hesitantly saying, "Uncle Quan, in my heart, I’m always waiting for someone, but he will never appear before me again. He has filled my heart completely. My heart is small and can’t hold so many people. Besides, the relationship between Young Master and me can’t be explained in just a few words. I’m merely Young Master’s plaything, nothing more. Uncle Quan, thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I am aware of my position."
"Silly girl, happiness isn’t something you weigh so carefully. The person you wait for in your heart, is he your Brother Zhenyu? The dead can’t come back to life. You’re still young; you’re just temporarily unable to let go of this relationship. Perhaps one day, when you look back, your heart won’t hurt as much, and it will have calmed down."
"Uncle Quan still hopes you and Young Master will blossom and bear fruit; that’s what Uncle Quan wishes for. I believe that Madam, from the heavens, would also feel comforted. Haven’t you heard the saying? ’A hero doesn’t ask where he comes from.’ As long as two people walk hand in hand, any difficulty can be overcome."
Xia Qingqian lightly blinked and softly asked, "Uncle Quan, Madam has already..." This kind of thing she couldn’t bring herself to ask.
"Yes, on Young Master’s eighteenth birthday, Madam hurried to attend the birthday banquet but couldn’t escape misfortune; she passed away in a car accident." Uncle Quan wiped away a bitter tear, "At the moment when Madam sent the hollow vase to the banquet, the news of her car accident also arrived."
"That... vase was Madam’s last birthday gift to Young Master?!" This news shocked her!
This reminded her of the time she accidentally broke the hollow vase; the alarm and anger on Young Master’s face were still vivid in her mind! Seeing Young Master so furious, when she said she would compensate, Young Master said she would never be able to afford it!
Indeed, she truly can’t compensate, truly can’t, not just because of its priceless value, but because it holds an indelible sad memory, and Madam’s love for Young Master, all shattered by her carelessness.
"So, when I heard you mention this incident, I was shocked you broke the vase, yet Young Master did nothing to you." Uncle Quan looked Xia Qingqian up and down once more, "You probably don’t know, but once, when Young Master returned from outside and appeared at the door, the cold aura he carried scared the servants. One of them accidentally nudged the hollow vase, almost knocking it over. Young Master saw this and kicked that servant out of the house and ordered that anyone who dared to hire that clumsy servant would be opposing him!"
"Girl, after you return home, you must find time to learn from the master of ceramic restoration. He will surely teach you everything he knows. Once you’ve learned well, work with the restoration master to restore the broken hollow vase. We won’t know the outcome, but you’ll preserve Madam’s love for Young Master." The old man picked up a cup of tea, leisurely sipped it.
"Uncle Quan, I will definitely study hard. I will do my utmost to take care of Young Master. As long as I am by Young Master’s side for a single day, as long as he needs me for a single day, no matter what he asks, I will accept." She had shattered his most cherished treasure, yet he hadn’t troubled her; no matter what, she should temper her impulsiveness and stop competing with him.
