Only his eldest daughter Margaret was the most outstanding,
And Changying was not only equal to his daughter but also highly complementary.
If the two of them stayed together in the An family,
Then the An family would have been certainly able to rise, in time,
May be able to surpass the Saudi royal family and the Routhschild family, standing at the top of the world.
However, Changying did not agree. He had pride in his heart and his own ambition.
He did not want to stay in the An family to pick up the ready-made,
More determined to return to his own family, though small and insignificant in comparison to An’s but he wanted that.
Hard to stay, hard to go, which once made Nicolas very mad.
What he couldn’t accept was that his daughter was determined to go with Changying, which made him even more furious.
Originally, he wanted to keep Changying to be with Margaret,
But things were going to go in the direction of a chicken-and-egg war, so how could he stand it?
It is because of this that Nicolas has not been kind to Changying,
And their relationship is like that of enemies.
After Margaret and Changying got married in Eastcliff,
Nicolas became furious whenever he heard his name, which has been the case until now.
The old lady on the side saw that Nicolas was fighting with himself again,
So she hurriedly relieved him and said,
“Come on Nicolas, Changying has been gone for so many years,
You should not say such words in the future.”
Nicolas’s eyebrows knitted in anger and he asked back in exasperation,
“He was the one who doesn’t know how to behave! In the end, Margaret was also implicated!”
“My daughter has been killed by him, and I can’t even scold him!”
The old lady said, “Margaret chose her own path,”
“And it’s her own decision to live and die, not anyone else’s.”
Nicolas said indignantly, “You’re completely lost in self-deceiving logic!”
“Although Margaret chose her own path, Changying, as her husband,”
“Should have protected her! He should have always cared for her and thought about her!”
“How can he not be responsible for what happened to Margaret as a husband?”
The old lady said anxiously with red eyes, “But Changying is not here anymore!”
“How do you know he didn’t protect Margaret at that time?”
“It’s just that things were beyond his ability,”
“He even gave his life, what else can you ask him to do?”
Nicolas said emotionally, “Couldn’t I hate him after he died?”
After saying that, Nicolas looked around at his children and questioned,
“Do you think that even if Changying died, I could still hate him?”
His children were looking at each other, not knowing how to answer.
