Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Who Hit Whom

"Xiao Yu, I was wrong. I must have been blinded by lard," Xie Quan earnestly admitted his mistake, and with that simple, honest face of his, it really made one believe that he was truly repentant.

"You can hit me." As Xie Quan raised his hand, he slapped himself.

Mo Xiaoyu watched Xie Quan without blinking.

Xie Quan slapped himself again with his other hand, the sound of the slap was loud and clear.

While apologizing, Xie Quan looked at Mo Xiaoyu with a pleading gaze.

At the doorway, Tang Yue looked at Xie Quan’s actions and couldn’t help worrying that Sister Xiaoyu might soften her heart and forgive him.

"Xie Quan, even if you swell your face from slapping, it’s still impossible between us," Mo Xiaoyu’s voice was crisp and resolute, her tone decisive without any room for negotiation.

"No, Xiao Yu, we once loved each other so much..."

Before Xie Quan could finish, Mo Xiaoyu interrupted him: "Xie Quan, what happened in the past is in the past. At the time you got together with Wan Wei, when you wanted to divorce me for the sake of her son in her stomach, our love had already been personally buried by you."

Mo Xiaoyu looked at Xie Quan indifferently, as if he were a stranger. She said, "I am gentle by nature and don’t fuss over anything on regular days, but that doesn’t mean I will let myself be manipulated at will. You know me; once I make a decision, I never change it."

"Xiao Yu, I really made a mistake." Xie Quan begged as he stepped forward, attempting to grab Mo Xiaoyu’s hand.

Mo Buyu stepped back with disgust, "Don’t disgust me here. I’m telling you, it’s impossible for us to start over again. Don’t come to me with this matter again, there is no chance."

"Oh, and there’s no window of opportunity either," Mo Xiaoyu added, picking up a broom and saying, "You can leave, or else I’ll have to chase you away."

"Don’t." Seeing her resolute tone and her posture with the broom, fearing she might actually chase him away with it, Xie Quan decided to switch his approach, "Xiao Yu, Tiantian can’t be without a father."

"Heh," Mo Xiaoyu sneered, "You remember Tiantian needs a father now? Why didn’t you think of that then? When you voluntarily gave up the custody rights, you had already given up on Tiantian."

"Get out." Mo Buyu no longer wanted to see Xie Quan and began to chase him away with the broom.

Xie Quan had something to say but hesitated to leave.

Tang Yue took this opportunity to go to the toy store with Tiantian.

Xie Quan still wanted to persist, but upon seeing that patch of green, he decided to retreat first, waiting for Mo Siyu and the others to leave, believing there would be plenty of opportunities later.

After Xie Quan left, Tang Yue returned with Tiantian and the toys she bought. Mo Buyu held the broom with her back towards the outside; her silhouette appeared lonely and sorrowful, yet at the same time, carried a hint of pride. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Tiantian," Mo Xiaoyu wiped her eyes before talking to Tiantian.

Seeing Mo Xiaoyu forcing a smile, Tang Yue vaguely understood; Sister Xiaoyu wasn’t untroubled, she wasn’t unwilling to forgive, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to forgive. She was a person of principle, and what Xie Quan did was unforgivable to Mo Xiaoyu.

She could give her all to Xie Quan, but could also be cold and merciless to him after his betrayal.

"Sister Xiaoyu, about yesterday..." Tang Yue told Mo Xiaoyu what she had seen the day before.

Mo Xiaoyu pursed her lips, "So that’s why he came over today."

Tang Yue was thinking Mo Xiaoyu might have more to say, but Mo Xiaoyu didn’t speak another word.

Mo Siyu raised an eyebrow, saying significantly, "You might want to go back to the factory and check."

After thinking it over, Xie Quan detoured away from the police station and went to the hospital instead, hoping to get his injuries examined or treated. The excruciating pain he felt earlier had subsided to a dull ache by the time he got to the hospital, where they told him he had no injuries.

Xie Quan was seething with frustration.

Once he was back at the factory, there was a letter in the office.

Upon opening it, Xie Quan felt a chill running down his spine. When his second uncle fell seriously ill, he didn’t bother to visit, neglecting him after an initial sum of money. Once, when his second uncle ran out of money and came to him, they had a fight and Xie Quan shoved his second uncle to the ground. Later, his second uncle was crushed to death by a car.

At that time, he truly didn’t realize his second uncle had fainted and that a car would coincidentally come along.

Otherwise, how could he possibly not have helped his second uncle up?

This incident had always frightened him at the bottom of his heart, and now it suddenly appeared in this letter, causing Xie Quan to tremble all over.

He burned the letter in a panic and then became unsettled.

Mo Siyu.

How did Mo Siyu know?

Xie Quan felt a deep fear of Mo Siyu within his heart. Previously he had thought about getting back together with Mo Xiaoyu, but now, that was out of the question. He wanted to leave this place, to leave Sea City.

Thinking this, Xie Quan packed up his belongings, sold everything of value, and that very night, he left Sea City.
