Xie Qian's heart froze when he saw Xie Xuning like this. From now on, he and his son were complete strangers to one another.

Back then, he prevented Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning from being together. That itself was a mistake.

​​

He once had the opportunity to make things right, but he didn't take it. Right now, he can only watch his son go further away from him.

It was deep in the night, but Xie Qian didn't look tired at all.

"Ye Linlang once came to the Xie family and asked someone about them. Xuning, you also know that your mother and I didn't agree to let you and Ye Linlang be together back then. We thought, maybe she'll give up if we tell her that you died. Then, it won't take long for her to marry someone else. After you learn that Ye Linlang is married, you will give up and get married with Li Zhiwei in peach …"

Xie Xuning stood like a pine tree on a cliff and he was clutching his fists.

There was no expression on his face.

He wasn't happy, nor was he sad. He wasn't angry, nor was he resentful. He had no expression at all.

"I asked Xingqing's grandfather to give Ye Linlang a sum of money, but she didn't take it. She simply bid farewell to Xingqing's grandfather and went to the train station. Since then, Ye Linlang has never been to the Xie family's house again. Xuning, I honestly didn't know that Ye Linlang had a daughter. If I had known sooner..."

Xie Xuning sneered and said, "If you had known, then would you have taken Tianxin away?"

"How could that be possible? If I had known that Ye Linlang gave birth to a daughter for you after learning about your death, I would never have let her go. I learned the news of Ye Linlang's death from Qie Wang later on. After hearing the news, I didn't know what to do. At that time, I heard that Ye Linlang died for love and your mother-in-law passed away. I felt guilty about it."

When Xie Xingqing heard Xie Qian's words, she chuckled. "Xie Qian, you're worried that my grandfather will reveal Ye Linlang visiting Xie Xuning. You were worried that Xie Xuning would hate you, so you killed my grandfather and my father by disguising their deaths as accidents. Then, you even brought me to the Xie family's house..."

Xie Qian clutched his chest and said angrily, "It's not like that. The death of your grandpa and dad was an accident. How could I kill your grandpa after he had been with me for so many years?"

Xie Xingqing didn't look at Xie Qian's face at all but looked at Xie Xuning instead. She deeply loved this man.

What's wrong with her loving him?

If Xie Qian hadn't insisted on changing her name to "Xie Xingqing", how could she not even have a chance to confess?

She should be allowed to confess her feelings.

She can tell the whole world that she loves him, but she couldn't bear him being judged by everyone because of her feelings.

"Dad, I once asked you if you did this thing? I believed you when you said no. Now it seems that I'm the fool for believing you. the stupid one was me. How could I have been so stupid? Forget about my wishes and do whatever you want. You might as well decide who I'll marry, while you're at it. What else can't you do?"

Xie Qian had no way to defend himself. He didn't expect Xie Xingqing to know about this.

"Xuning, believe me. I swear, I just refused to see Ye Linlang on purpose. I didn't kill her."

After Xie Qian finished speaking, his vision went dark and he passed out. Xie Xinghe rushed to Xie Qian's side, helped Xie Qian to sit up, then gave Xie Qian a few pills.
