illicit relationship-Chapter 1720 Mother, Please Wake Up

Xiao Tian's Mansion, Living Room.

"The Xiao family visited your place?" Xiao Tian uttered.

Xiao Tian was currently sitting on a couch with Zhao Sheng, Xing Juzong, and Xing Ranqing. "Yes, brother Xiao Tian. They want us to be their allies." After saying that, Xing Juzong looked at Zhao Sheng. "Did they also want your family to be their allies, brother Zhao Sheng?"

"Yes." Zhao Sheng gave an honest answer. "Xiao Tian, I think they want to attack your father soon."

"I think so too." Xing Juzong added.

"Does your family agree to be their allies?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

"My family still hasn't decided it." Zhao Sheng responded. "My grandfather wants to discuss it with other family members first. He will give the answer in three days."

"My grandpa also did not accept it immediately." Xiao Juzong said, "It's related to the future of our family, so we can't accept it immediately. We have to think about the advantages and disadvantages first."

"Bro Xiao, you have to tell your father about this." Xing Ranqing spoke abruptly. "That's right, Xiao Tian." Zhao Sheng added.

"Alright. I will tell him tomorrow." Xiao Tian agreed.

As they were talking in the living room, the Xiao family was on their way home.

"Elder brother, do you think they will agree to be our allies?" Xiao Jianhao inquired.

"If they dare to refuse our offer, I will do something to their business." Xiao Deng Jiang would not take no for an answer.

"I like that idea!" Xiao Yimu stated.

"Let's go to the hospital first. I want to see Yaling and know her condition." Xiao Deng Jiang uttered.

"Alright." Xiao Yimu and Xiao Jianhao responded in unison.

----

Xiao Family Hospital, Xiao Yaling's Patient Room.

"Yaling, how are you feeling?" Xiao Deng Jiang inquired.

"I'm feeling better, but…" she did not finish her words and looked at her right shoulder.

Every time she remembered that she had lost her right arm, sadness instantly appeared.

"Don't be sad. I will think of a way to give you an arm later." Xiao Deng Jiang wanted to create a fake arm for his daughter.

"Yaling, we are preparing everything now. We will avenge you soon." Xiao Jianhao spoke abruptly.

"Yaling, we wi-"Xiao Yimu stopped his words halfway when one of their subordinates entered the patient room.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Deng Jiang asked curiously.

"Master, someone took Lan Ruoxi's mother from the hospital." The red-haired man began explaining everything in detail.

"Someone took her mother?" Xiao Deng Jiang was unhappy with the bad news.

Lan Ruoxi was a powerful martial artist, and she was also a candidate to be the Ruler. Now that someone had taken her mother from their hospital, they could no longer order her around.

"Where is Lan Ruoxi now?" Xiao Yimu inquired.

"She has not returned yet." The red-haired man responded.

"Damn it!" Xiao Deng Jiang clenched his fist.

"Go find her." Xiao Jianhao shouted. "And find out the one who took her mother. I will kill that person."

"Understood." After saying that, the red-haired man left.

Angel Hospital, Garden.

Xiao Tian was currently talking with his father. After breakfast, he went straight to the hospital because he had to tell his father about the Xiao family's intentions.

It was related to the upcoming war, so his father had to know about this as quickly as possible.

"I see. So, they try to make the Zhao and the Xing families their allies, huh?" actually, Xiao Zhan had suspected this before. "What was their answer?"

"They said they would give the answer in three days." Xiao Tian responded, "What are you going to do?"

"I will do the same." Xiao Zhan decided to do the same because the number of troops could change the outcome of the war.

"That's a good idea." Xiao Tian stated. "If we win the war, we will take the Xiao family's wealth. With this, we will get back all the money we have used."

"Then we must win the war. Failure is not an option." Xiao Zhan agreed with his son's words.

"I have almost mastered the seventh stage, Father." Xiao Tian uttered, "Maybe I can master it this month or next month."

Xiao Zhan was pleasantly surprised by the good news. "Good!"

Xiao Tian was only twenty-four years old, but he would master the seventh stage soon.

This was really good news.

'Xueyin, our son is indeed a genius among geniuses.'

Xiao Zhan almost could not suppress the happiness within him.

Xiao Zhan grabbed his son's shoulders and uttered, "Son, just focus on mastering the seventh stage. Leave the rest to me."

"Alright." Xiao Tian nodded his head.

As Xiao Tian was talking with his father, a young lady looked at him from the hospital's second floor.

The young lady was wearing a mask and a black hat.

If she took off her mask, Xiao Tian would know her immediately because she was someone he loved and hated at the same time.

Lan Ruoxi!

Yes, the young lady looking at him from the second floor was Lan Ruoxi.

Lan Ruoxi traveled to Angel Hospital because she wanted to visit her mother. When she was on her way to her mother's patient room, she caught sight of Xiao Tian.

She did not greet him and only saw him from afar because he no longer wanted to see her.

Of course, she wished she could talk and spend time with him, but she knew her wish would never come true because he hated her now.

She had betrayed him, so there was no way he would forgive her.

That was why she only looked at him from the second floor because he no longer wanted to see her.

'My love…'

As she was looking at him, several beautiful memories appeared in her mind. "Lady Lan, how about we go on a date now? I found a good place on the internet earlier. Let's visit that place now." after saying that, Xiao Tian grabbed her right hand and dragged her to his car.

Another memory appeared.

This time, it was when they visited Lian Xun's house for the first time.

At that time, he was carrying her on his back.

"Young lady, hold me tight, or else you will fall later." Xiao Tian uttered. The sadness within her grew bigger when she remembered these good memories.

She wanted to create more beautiful memories with him, but she knew it was impossible now.

'My love…'

She placed her hands on the window as if she wanted to embrace him.

Lian Xun, who approached her, stopped his footsteps.

*Sigh…

He sighed before finally walking toward her again.

"Ruoxi, let's go to your mother's room." he stopped her from looking at Xiao Tian because it would make her sad even more.

"Alright." Lan Ruoxi looked at him one last time before finally heading to her mother's patient room.

----

Lan Ruoxi and Lian Xun were currently standing next to her mother. Even though her condition was better, she was still in a coma. "Mother…" Lan Ruoxi's face turned sad again.

If previously she was sad because of Xiao Tian, she was down because of her mother this time.

Her mother had been in a coma for more than five years, so she really missed her.

She missed her voice.

She missed her smile.

And she missed her warm embrace.

Even though her master was always there for her, but she still needed her mother because her mother was her world.

'Mother, please wake up. Mother…'
