Chapter 384

Grandfather simply didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he never said anything.

Now that Hontani Xia Jiang knows, she understands why Grandfather's emotions have been unstable ever since her engagement ended.

It turns out it was all because of Xiaowu.

"So, is it Xiaowu?"

Hontani Xia Jiang's gaze, which had been weak just moments ago, became firm, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

"He must be the cause."

"..."

Hontani Xia Jiang said nothing; naturally, Xiaowu was the cause.

"One last question: why tell me?"

She had wanted to ask how he knew, but now there was no need.

"Miss Hontani, you can imagine your relatives."

Hontani Xia Jiang subconsciously pictured them in her mind.

"Would they grieve over the death of someone who holds power in the Hontani conglomerate?"

Hontani Xia Jiang tried very hard to think of everyone in the best light, but she couldn't.

Aunt and Uncle's personalities would absolutely not grieve over Grandfather's death; in fact, they would be overjoyed.

Just thinking of that situation made a sorrowful emotion well up in Hontani Xia Jiang's heart.

"I respect others' choices, and I respect others' fates."

"But classmate Yasaka reminded me that this is human nature, which is what gave me the right to offer others choices."

"Miss Hontani, you have the right to choose."

After sorting out his troubled feelings a bit, Hontani Xia Jiang looked at the boy before her with a hint of confusion.

"But why tell me all this?"

"Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

Hontani Xia Jiang didn't understand what she could possibly do to repay the other person.

To this, Ren Amamiya just smiled slightly.

"If you want to repay me, then believe in me."

This made Hontani Xia Jiang even more confused.

Believe? Does that refer to some doctrine?

Believe in a person?

"Miss Hontani, you have been away long enough; it is time to return."

Hearing Ren Amamiya's words, Hontani Xia Jiang nodded subconsciously.

"If Miss Hontani makes any decisions, remember it is better to stay with the elder."

"Also, if you encounter something you cannot handle, perhaps believing in the power of faith is also a good choice."

The power of faith?

Hontani Xia Jiang didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence, but she still nodded slightly, taking the words as a reminder and committing them deeply to her heart.
