Chapter 206: Meeting Me is a Turning Point in Your Life_1
This woman, she’s so arrogant!
Qin Yao inquired about Yanbei’s intentions.
Yanbei gestured and Qin Yao bowed and withdrew.
Yanbei curiously scrutinized Ye Xingguang, asking in a stern voice: “How did you become my grandfather’s adopted granddaughter?”
Ye Xingguang didn’t answer, she arrogantly sat down, her arms resting on the back of the chair, legs crossed and shaking: “If it weren’t for the fact that you are Grandpa Zhuo’s direct grandson, I wouldn’t even bother with you now.”
Yanbei glanced at her presumptuous sitting position and chuckled.
Ye Xingguang was annoyed, and there was no reason for her to be respectful to the President – after all, she wasn’t the one who needed something from him, was she?
However, she never dreamt that she would sell a magic pill of regret to a president of a country. The thought was rather invigorating.
Yanbei lit a cigarette, took a few drags in silence before asking, “What’s this about selling pills of regret?”
If it turned out that grandfather had someone set up a Weibo account for him to sell magic pills, Yanbei would have to take it seriously. An unrealistic fantasy welled up in his heart – perhaps this woman could really help him.
“First, pour me a cup of tea to soothe my throat, then I’ll tell you,” she said.
Yanbei arched an eyebrow. This woman indeed had the audacity, yet as he needed something from her, he humbled himself and personally poured her a cup of tea – consider it the President’s apology.
Ye Xingguang took the cup of tea offered by the President and finally exhaled in satisfaction.
After taking a sip, she said, “Since you are Grandpa Zhuo’s grandson, I’ll cut to the chase. It’s as you thought – my magic pill offers a chance to turn things around. Isn’t the desire to purchase my pill of regret indicative of wanting the impossible, a second chance at past regrets?”
“Will it really offer a second chance?”
It was unclear whether Yanbei was questioning her or questioning himself.
As the saying goes, a life with regret is a real life – a real life that can render even the most powerful person powerless.
Thinking of the child that died before it was-born, Yanbei was consumed with grief.
He understands Ting Nan’s hatred. The loss of their child was a wound that Ting Nan could not heal.
He had heard Ting Nan crying and talking in her sleep numerous times, calling out to the baby, saying she was sorry…
Ye Xingguang brazenly stated, “Why not? Your encounter with me could be your chance to make things right.”
Yanbei laughed – a laugh filled with guilt towards his wife.
He might be a good President, but he was not a good husband. He had been fair to everyone, except his wife.
“Let’s put it this way, I can take you back to before the First Lady lost her child. You’ll have the chance to save the child she was carrying. Does it sound like a fairy tale? However, if you buy one of my pills of regret, I can turn this fairy tale into reality.”
Unless she remembered it wrong, the reason the First Lady lost her child was due to her kidnapping by a foreign extremist armed faction.
The foreign extremists wanted to use the First Lady to force the President to agree to a foreign policy that would harm the interests of their country. The President, prioritizing the country’s interests, refused to yield to the extremists’ demands.
Although the President personally led the troops to eliminate these extremists in the end, the First Lady was kept in a water-filled underground cell by the extremists. By the time the President found her, she had been soaked for far too long, caught a severe chill and lost the child.
