CHAPTER 1165: CHAPTER 1165: THIRTY YEARS OF DEVOTION

Listening to Yang Sen’s words and watching Li Fang continuously crying, Xiong Hai silently sighed, poured himself another glass of wine, and downed it in one go!

Then Xiong Hai looked up at the woman beside him, who had been with him for thirty years, his throat moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything, and could only keep drinking!

"Old Xiong, I know I owe you, but... I really want to live for myself just once. Now our daughter has grown up and found an outstanding boyfriend. These years I’ve been looking after you and Yurong, I want to live differently!"

Li Fang wiped away the tears from her face, as if gathering her courage, and said softly to Xiong Hai.

"Don’t say that. I agree... I agree with you going abroad, really. So many years with me, you haven’t had a good life, and I’ve never been able to let you enjoy wealth. You’re making the right choice, and I support you!"

Seeing that Li Fang had spoken this way, Xiong Hai forced a laugh, trying not to appear so discomposed, and looked at Li Fang gently.

Then Xiong Hai still, as before, pushed the passbook towards Li Fang.

"No matter what, take this money. When you get there, don’t let Old Yang pay for everything, buy it yourself if you can. If the money isn’t enough, just call and let me know!"

Next, Xiong Hai picked up the bottle on the table, not bothering with a glass, and drank straight from the bottle.

But even so, a smile remained on Xiong Hai’s face, concealing his inner sadness well.

"Brother Xiong, no need, I have a lot of money over there, not a huge amount, but enough for me and Xiao Fang. Keep this money for yourself, we’ve wronged you enough, we can’t take your money anymore!"

Yang Sen spoke softly, signaling Li Fang to return the passbook to Xiong Hai!

Since Li Fang had decided to go with him, that outweighed everything else.

Honestly, the fifty thousand in Xiong Hai’s account was truly insignificant to him!

Over these years abroad, he has built his own business, if not a billionaire, he certainly has millions of US Dollars.

"Your money is yours, what I give to Xiao Fang is ours saved together over the years; they can’t be equated. Though Xiao Fang has been with me for thirty years, I haven’t given her a life of wealth and glory, but I haven’t wronged her either. Even if I wrong myself, as long as Xiao Fang likes it, I’ll try to fulfill her requirements!"

"She’s going to the US with you, she can’t go without a penny. If you ever treat her badly, she’ll have other options!"

However, regarding Yang Sen’s words, Xiong Hai shook his head resolutely.

At the same time, he personally placed the passbook into Li Fang’s hand, his old eyes still glowing with gentle affection, affection that’s no less than Bai Xiaofan’s for Xiong Yourong and them!

Seeing Xiong Hai’s tender gaze, Bai Xiaofan felt a bit of bitterness in his heart as well.

From Xiong Hai’s expression, he could confirm that Xiong Hai truly loved Li Fang, even though this love had lasted for thirty years, it had never diminished. This is the most admirable thing to Bai Xiaofan!

How many men can keep loving a woman for thirty years unchanged?

Just this love alone is worthy of respect!

Listening to Xiong Hai’s words, Li Fang and Yang Sen were taken aback.

Especially Li Fang, who was crying uncontrollably!

Why is this man always so foolish?

Knowing she’s about to leave, why is he still so good to her? How could he not set aside some money for himself?

"Alright, stop crying, let’s continue with dinner!"

Xiong Hai extended his arm, wanting to embrace Li Fang, but his hand stopped mid-air, only to tap gently on Li Fang’s shoulder.

Then Xiong Hai picked up the bottle, drinking with a smile!

But this smile, looks even worse than crying!

Watching the weeping Li Fang and the lonely drinking Xiong Hai, Yang Sen felt a bit lonely too, not knowing what to say.

"With age comes a lowered tolerance for alcohol, let me rest, you keep drinking, Xiaofan, I won’t accompany you today, I’ll go lie down for a while!"

Before long, Xiong Hai had finished a bottle and, with a smile, spoke to Bai Xiaofan and others, then wobbled back to his room!

Anyone could tell at this moment, Xiong Hai seemed so solitary, as if within the span of a meal, his hair had gained a few more gray strands!

"Auntie, we’re leaving too, Rong’er and I have things to do, we’ll come back another day to accompany you!"

Bai Xiaofan didn’t linger, after greeting, he took Xiong Yourong and left.

Even though Xiong Yourong wanted to persuade Li Fang further, Bai Xiaofan dragged her away!

"Why did you do that? I still wanted to persuade my mother, you come here and don’t even help me!"

Leaving Xiong’s house, Xiong Yourong stared angrily at Bai Xiaofan, it’s the first time Xiong Yourong lost her temper with Bai Xiaofan after they confirmed their relationship.

Usually, Xiong Yourong was very obedient, and if Bai Xiaofan said east, she wouldn’t go west, maybe something similar!

"You silly girl, the matter is settled, why try to persuade otherwise?"

Bai Xiaofan smiled slightly, affectionately pinching Xiong Yourong’s cheek, and then effortlessly picked her up!

"Oh, don’t pick me up, there are many long-time neighbors here, it’ll be embarrassing if they see us!"

Xiong Yourong, held up by Bai Xiaofan, lightly tapped his chest, saying shyly.

"Let them see, we’re not afraid of them; come, I’ll take you shopping. What do you want to buy? Your husband will buy it for you!"

Not caring about Xiong Yourong’s words, Bai Xiaofan, holding her, walked straight towards the car.

"Hmm, you haven’t told me what you meant earlier! What do you mean by matters settled? Are you just going to watch my mom leave and let my dad live the rest of his life alone and lonely?"

Inside the car, Xiong Yourong asked while fastening her seatbelt.

Though she’s been studying and working outside these years, she’s witnessed her father’s kindness to her mother!

Even if they’re over fifty, but whatever mother wants, father would do his utmost to fulfill. His indulgence towards mother, sometimes she, as the daughter, felt it excessive.

That’s also why she chose to rent a place by herself and ended up living with Bai Xiaofan!
