Conspiracy After Mourning!

Chapter 73- Conspiracy After Mourning!

29 Years ago, Country X

Time stood still for Xu Long Wei as his family organize his father's funeral. Throughout the preparation, he locked himself in his room and rejected anyone's attempt of comfort.

The devastating news spread fast, and the entire clan gathered in their house to decide the family's future. His first uncle temporarily took over Xu holdings since his grandfather is in comatose after the accident that causes the precious life of Xu family's young master.

The funeral didn't take much time as the family decided to bury his father three days later. This makes Xu Long Wei, and his mother frustrated for they didn't have enough time to say goodbye to his father. Added the fact that no one question the speed of his father's funeral, because everyone is more focus on the head master's condition.

Based on his grandfather's doctor, the older man is in a vegetative state, and there is no possibility of recovery in the future. They were given two option; one is to take his life support and let him pass on, and the other is to continue his help with the machine attached to his body but he will remain unresponsive.

The family choose the latter part as they have no courage to end his grandfather's life. It was a tough decision, especially for his grandmother.

A week after their tragedy, things calm down in the Xu family; however, for Xu Long Wei, the past week was like a vague memory. Until now, the reality that his father died in a car accident didn't completely set-in.

The people around him seem to move on and have forgotten his father, but as he witnesses his mother's mournful cry every night, he is reminded that his life has changed and he doesn't know how to go with the flow like others.

His life stays the same as time goes on. The Xu mansion which used to be lively from all the activities becomes hollow. His active personality dampens by his mother's depression and neglect. Lost and alone, he isolated himself from others and tried to lessen his presence when others are around. These changes didn't miss from the scrutiny of his grandmother.

Later, it became the main ground for his mother and grandmother's relationship to deteriorate to a point where they were ignoring each other. Put in the middle of the situation, Xu long Wei became more distant.

After nine months, another tragedy struck the family, when his mother was accused of infidelity while his father was still alive. For no apparent reason, the news breaks out of his mother's affair which she denied forcefully, however, her plea was ignored, and she was kicked out of the estate.

The worst scenario didn't stop as the family also questioned his birthright after they procure a piece of evidence that stated he is, in fact, an illegitimate child of his mother from another man.

This information shattered the remaining stability in his young mind. Same as his mother, he was thrown out of the house without anything to carry with him. He was fortunate that his mother was waiting for him outside the mansion and took her to country A to reside.

At the age of seven, his life that was envied by others turned dirty and messy as he lives in Country A. Since his mother didn't have enough money to support them, she left to work in a wealthy family's house.

Most often, he stayed in their apartment and tried to survive with any canned food they could manage to buy with her little income. Xu Long Wei decided to help her, so he started selling scrap metals. Under the excruciating heat, he would walk around their neighborhood everyday and picks up metal he could sell.

Although his life was far different from what he was used to; however, he was happy that his mother was there for him. Until seven years later, she gave up and abandoned him when he found her lifeless body hanging in their bedroom.

He realizes then that for his mother, him being with her was not enough to fill in the void his father left behind. She became an empty shell trying to survive for her son and not for herself.

At fourteen, he became orphaned and entirely alone with nowhere to go. No money in his pocket to have a proper ceremony, he has no option but to solely buried his mother in the empty lot located in an abandoned building. He stayed in that spot whenever he has time to be with her; it was then, he met Vera for the first time. His life that died together with his mom, revive as she smiled and introduces her name to him.
