BXBX NOVEL Chapter 273 - The Mystery (II)
Grandpa Jiang tried to fix things the good way first but Antonio refused to listen. Things got even more intense when Antonio tried to kill Ziyi. Since grandpa Jiang didn't want to take inappropriate steps towards his own brother, he tried to talk things with him but nothing worked.
"I tried very hard to make him understand that it wasn't Ziyi's fault, she did not have any idea what was going on until I brought her home but Antonio refused to listen. He had gone crazy and just wanted to take revenge for his daughter by killing mine," Grandpa Jiang explained.
"Yihong and I met Ziyi in college, we have been friends with her since then. Later we got into a relationship and she told me everything that was going around in her family. At that time I was preparing myself to take over the business and everything else from my father." Looking at Yihong, Weilong added, "He was doing the same."
"We both had resources in our hands, they were little but enough to keep Antonio far away from Ziyi. So Yihong and I decided to join hands and keep Antonio as far as we can from her but no matter what we did, he did not stop. He kept looking for ways to hurt her, things got even worse when started sending assassins to get her killed," he explained further.
Scrunching his brows, he continued, "But one day he stopped, he stopped attacking her and requested for a peace meeting. He especially mentioned that Yihong and I should be present which was really very weird but we had no other choice but to attend it." Closing his eyes, Weilong sighed, "I still remember that day, I was supposed to take over everything from father the following day but Antonio had different plans."
"What plans?" Yichan inquired.
"Antonio promised he wouldn't harm Ziyi ever again because she was already big and had lived her life. According to him, Ziyi already knew everything and the reason behind the attacks or being killed, unlike his daughter who was innocent and was way too young to understand what was happening," grandpa Jiang explained.
Scrunching his brows, Roger curiously inquired, "What did he want then?"
"He wanted Weilong to marry Ziyi and leave the Yang family forever," Yihong answered.
"Why would he want that?" Guiren frowned.
Shrugging his shoulder, Yihong sighed, "We still don't know but Antonio assured us he wouldn't stop if we did not fulfil his conditions."
Letting out a mocking scoff, Grandpa Yang snapped, "The Jiang family has always been jealous of us, what else could be the reason?"
"I love Ziyi and only I know how hard it was to see her live a life full of fears. She feared to go out and do things that girls of her age usually used to do, she kept herself locked in a room all the time. My heart ached seeing her like that so I decided to put an end to it. I agreed with Antonio's condition and left everything behind," Weilong explained.
"We thought things would get better after that and it really did. Ziyi and Weilong got married, everyone was living a very peaceful life and to top all the happy things, Ziyi got pregnant. That was the most happy day of our lives until Antonio showed up again." Balling his hands, he gritted his teeth, "I always knew he was up to something but I never thought he would—"
When Yihong placed his hand on Weilong's shoulder to console him, Yichan curiously inquired, "What did he want?"
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Weilong answered, "He wanted an innocent life to avenge for his daughter." Without waiting for anyone's reply, he added, "He told us that if we had a daughter, he would kill her and take his revenge."
"I thought it was bulshit so we decided to get rid of him but we realized that Antonio's side was much more powerful than we had thought. Later we found out that Kareem had married some woman from Italy who belonged to a Mafia family so they were getting help from them." Looking at Roger, Yihong frowned, "You must be knowing about this, they even had a son together. What is his name again—"
Cutting him off, Roger frowned, "Karl."
"Yes Karl, that brat is as evil as his father," Yihong scoffed.
"Antonio was blinded with power and the willingness in him to take revenge from my family kept growing stronger. We didn't want unnecessary trouble, at least I didn't so I asked Weilong and Yihong to calm down and ignore him but Antonio kept crossing his line. He started sending over carcases of small babies along with baby toys to the mansion and this scared Ziyi a lot," grandpa Jiang added.
"So we decided to take a test to find out the gender of the baby, we just wanted to be prepared to face everything if it was a girl. But when we did the test, the doctor told us it's a boy and we were relieved but also disappointed." Helplessly shaking his head, Weilong smiled, "I always wanted to have a daughter but I thought maybe I am not destined to have one when suddenly Ning decided to surprise us."
