Chapter 220 Threatening Suicide
As evening fell, Xiao Chen arrived outside the Xiao family villa with ten Netherworld Generals.
"Your Highness, would you like us to accompany you inside?" one of the men asked, bowing.
Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"You can wait outside."
After saying that, he walked alone into the open villa gate.
The villa was very quiet, but that didn't mean no one was inside.
Xiao Chen seemed to have seen through everything, his expression somewhat sarcastic, as he slowly walked towards the main hall of the villa.
Upon stepping inside, one would see the Xiao family members.
Xiao Hongyuan, Qu Ying, Xiao Yiyi, and Xiao Shanshan were all sitting there, waiting for him.
The table was laden with dishes, a truly sumptuous feast.
"Chen'er, you've come..." Xiao Hongyuan said with a complicated expression.
“My son, you have suffered so much these years…” Qu Ying wiped away her tears, her face full of heartache.
"Little brother, please sit down. Let's have a family reunion dinner today," Xiao Yiyi said with a smile, her voice full of warmth.
Xiao Shanshan stood up and personally pulled out a chair for Xiao Chen, inviting him to sit down, showing great enthusiasm.
This was the tender scene that Xiao Chen had longed for in his previous life...
At that time, he desperately wanted his family's approval and gave everything for it.
Xiao Chen said nothing, but simply sat down with a faint smile and quietly watched their performance.
“Chen’er, we all know now. You’re not some kind of jinx. We misunderstood you for so long because we believed the fortune teller’s slander, and you suffered so much because of it. Our whole family is so sorry…” Xiao Hongyuan said with a face full of guilt.
“My son, how could you be a jinx? You are the pride of the Xiao family! That damned fortune teller, if it weren’t for his bewitching, you wouldn’t be living such a miserable life!” Qu Ying said with a pained and distressed expression, scolding the fortune teller.
“Because of a slanderous remark, we have misunderstood our own brother for more than ten years. It’s all our fault. If you want to blame us or hate us, we deserve it. But… can you give us a chance to make amends? After we finish this family reunion dinner today, we can start over!” Xiao Yiyi persuaded.
Every member of this family seemed genuinely sincere, filled with guilt and remorse, wanting to make amends to Xiao Chen and reunite their family.
Xiao Chen remained silent, simply observing them calmly.
"Yichen, come out!" Xiao Hongyuan called out upon seeing this.
Xiao Yichen walked out from the side and stood next to him.
"Kneel down! Apologize to your brother!" Xiao Hongyuan shouted.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yichen knelt down before Xiao Chen.
"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with you..." he said remorsefully.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
Xiao Yichen was an extremely proud person.
She was actually willing to kneel before him?
The more arrogant a person is, the more they are willing to lower their head and bend their knees; this only shows that their ambitions are grander.
“Although Yichen is not of the Xiao family bloodline, he has been raised by the Xiao family for so many years, and he is almost like a biological son. In the end, we are family. Chen’er, please forgive him and acknowledge him as your elder brother.” Xiao Hongyuan said softly.
Xiao Chen almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Recognize Xiao Yichen as her younger brother?
They really dare to dream!
That was the person who caused me such a miserable life, the deep-seated hatred that couldn't be easily cleared up, and now I even want to acknowledge him as my relative...
Is he crazy, or is the Xiao family crazy?
Xiao Chen remained silent, leaving Xiao Hongyuan feeling extremely awkward.
"Yichen, your older brother hasn't said anything, which means you're not sincere enough. Quickly, kowtow to him twice, then get up, and let's have a happy family reunion dinner." Qu Ying took the opportunity to smooth things over.
Xiao Yichen immediately kowtowed to Xiao Chen, and after kowtowing twice, Qu Ying helped him up and pressed him into a seat.
"Let's eat, let's eat. Chen'er has been waiting for this meal for too long..." she urged everyone to start eating.
"Eat more, this was all cooked by your mother herself, you've never had it before." Xiao Hongyuan personally served food to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Shanshan also competed to serve food, piling up a "small mountain" in front of Xiao Chen.
Except for Xiao Chen, everyone had a smile on their face, a heartwarming scene of family happiness.
"Brother, let me toast you." Xiao Yichen raised his glass to offer a toast to Xiao Chen.
"Have you all finished acting?" Xiao Chen said indifferently.
The expressions of the group froze.
"Little brother, what are you saying? This is all from the heart, there's no acting involved," Xiao Yiyi said with a forced smile.
“We know we’ve wronged you so much over the years, and we regret it so much now. You have to believe us…” Qu Ying burst into tears again and started crying.
Xiao Chen felt so disgusted he almost vomited.
“Your shamelessness is unparalleled in the world.” He stood up, his expression filled with disgust.
"How dare you say such things today? You want to forgive me and let bygones be bygones? Do you... even deserve it?"
"I originally wanted to see how you guys would act, but it was so disgusting that I couldn't bear to watch it."
“Just say what you want to say. Don’t pretend to be all lovey-dovey with me. I can’t stand it.”
Xiao Chen's expression was cold and aloof, showing no mercy to the Xiao family.
I've already experienced enough hypocrisy and heartlessness in my past life, so why bother trying to win their favor again in this one?
"Chen'er, how could you say such hurtful things? We really want to turn over a new leaf..." Qu Ying cried.
"If you still want to do all this, then there's no need to say anything more." Xiao Chen prepared to leave.
"Xiao Chen, wait a moment," Xiao Hongyuan called out in a deep voice.
"Believe it or not, my family and I truly regret it," he said.
That statement is true.
Upon learning Xiao Chen's identity as the Underworld King, not a single member of the Xiao family felt any regret.
But what they regret is that they didn't see it sooner, missed the opportunity for the Xiao family's rise, and didn't make good use of that powerful capital.
"I've been waiting for you here today because I want to discuss something with you," Xiao Hongyuan said seriously.
"Back then, when the fortune teller divined the fate of my Xiao family, he said that the Xiao family would suffer a great calamity in the future, and only the son of the true dragon could help the Xiao family turn the crisis into safety and rebuild from the ashes!"
"We hope that you can contribute your capital so that it can be controlled by the Son of the True Dragon, allowing the Xiao family to weather this calamity..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen let out a series of cold laughs.
This scene looks so familiar...
Unexpectedly, even after being reborn and changing so many people and things, he still couldn't change this trajectory.
In his previous life, they also shamelessly demanded that he hand over everything to Xiao Yichen.
They used the debt of gratitude for giving birth to them, threatened them with the lives of their adoptive parents, and engaged in moral blackmail, even threatening them with the lives of their adoptive parents' families...
At that time, he was forced to agree and gave everything to Xiao Yichen, which led to his tragic end.
"Xiao Chen, don't forget that you have the blood of the Xiao family flowing in your veins! If you don't agree, we will kill ourselves in front of you! From now on, you will suffer the cold stares of the world and forever bear the infamy!"
Xiao Hongyuan spoke very seriously, and Qu Ying, Xiao Yiyi, and Xiao Shanshan all stood up to show their determination.
Xiao Yichen revealed a mocking smile.
Anyone can see that Xiao Chen is a very sentimental person.
They felt that having gone this far, Xiao Chen had no choice but to compromise.
"Hehehe..."
Xiao Chen laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.
He made this choice in his previous life, and it was the wrong choice.
"Fine, so you're threatening to kill yourselves, huh?"
Clang!
He threw a dagger in front of the group.
"One at a time, I won't stop you!"
