Charlie Wade raised his hand to interrupt and said seriously, “Uncle Zhong, I need an explanation for my father’s situation. I believe that any honest person should keep their promises, even after the other party has passed away.”
He then turned to Liu Jiahui and added coldly, “Even though my father is no longer here, as his son, I will fulfill his obligations to others. And whatever is owed to him, I will pursue on his behalf!”
Liu Jiahui felt a wave of panic wash over him, shaking uncontrollably.
He had ignored the agreement he made with Ye Changying because he believed that Ye Changying and his wife, An Chengxi, were abandoned by their families. If they weren’t, he thought, their families wouldn’t have let them be harmed.
Because of this, Liu Jiahui didn’t take the promise seriously at all.
Many people make grand promises, but in reality, they are just words. They say a lot when they are with those they can’t afford to offend, but act completely different with people they think are insignificant.
Liu Jiahui was exactly that kind of person at heart.
He lived by a saying: never make friends who aren’t useful.
Once someone was no longer beneficial to him, even if they had grown up together, they meant nothing to him. But if someone was useful, he wouldn’t hesitate to align himself with them, even if it meant siding with his father’s enemy.
This selfish nature is why he quickly backed out of his promise after Ye Changying’s death.
For a long time, Liu Jiahui took pride in his philosophy of life, believing he was savvy in the world. But he never expected to find himself in trouble today.
He pleaded with fear in his eyes, “Mr. Ye, I really messed up. I didn’t keep the promise I made to your father. I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make things right!”
Charlie Wade looked at him calmly and asked, “How do you plan to change?”
Lau Ka Fai quickly replied, “I promised your father over twenty years ago that I wouldn’t pursue what Ah Chung did back then. I’ll fix my mistakes now and promise you I won’t embarrass Ah Chung because of this…”
Charlie Wade scoffed, “Mr. Liu, I came to Hong Kong Island to discuss three things. First, you made a promise to my father more than twenty years ago. Now that I’ve found you, you’re the only one who can answer for it. If you truly know your mistakes, how can you explain the past twenty years to my father?”
Then Charlie continued, “Second, Uncle Zhong was a talented man in finance. Because you, Liu Ka Fai, didn’t believe in him, he had to leave for the United States and spend twenty years selling roast goose in Chinatown. How will you explain his lost youth and wasted life?”
Charlie then added, “And third, for the last twenty years, Uncle Zhong couldn’t return to Hong Kong Island to be with his family, honor his parents, or even attend his father’s funeral. His family has suffered greatly during this time. How can you explain that?”
