Chapter 214 Regret

"Third Uncle," Gu Suixing called out.

Xie Chaoyin was the beloved young master of the Xie family, born a prodigy. In his youth, he was rebellious, leaving home whenever he wanted, and for most of his life, he never knelt before heaven or earth, never before his parents. Now, however, he was willing to kneel before this old man's hospital room.

Hearing the commotion, the Lu family members turned around and looked towards the door.

Only Old Master Lu remained motionless, not even glancing in that direction.

“It was actually him…” Lu Yinghui realized the meaning behind his father’s words and pointed at Xie Chaoyin with a trembling finger.

The man who betrayed his sister, caused her to become pregnant out of wedlock, and made his niece suffer all kinds of scorn, was actually Xie Chaoyin?!

The rest of the Lu family also looked surprised.

Among them, Lu Yuhan was the most surprised.

Her older sister was perfect in every way except for her background, which was criticized by people. So, those who were jealous and hated her attacked her by focusing on her background.

She was no exception.

She was used to the fact that her older sister was a child without a mother and whose father was unknown. Over the years, she had often complained about Lu Fengqing's background to her friends. She never expected that Lu Fengqing's biological father was actually Xie Chaoyin!

It's actually a member of the Xie family!

It's that man who's practically a legend in the business world!

In the ensuing silence, Lu Yingliang strode over, grabbed Xie Chaoyin by the collar, and said through gritted teeth, "You killed my sister. How dare you come any closer?!"

"Ah Liang!" Wen Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Rui Rui was also slightly startled. Lu Fengqing pulled him into her arms and gently patted his back to comfort him.

Xie Chao let Lu Yingliang hold him without struggling.

His face was pale, his lips moved, but he couldn't even utter a word of apology.

Even a three-year-old knows this principle; if apologies were effective, what would be the point of having police?

He owes Yun Si, his daughter, and the Lu family a debt he can never repay in his lifetime.

"Ah Liang." Lu Yinghui stepped forward and stopped Lu Yingliang.

Lu Yinghui didn't look at his younger brother; his cold gaze fell on Xie Chaoyin. "We won't touch you. My father won't see you either. You won't get anyone's forgiveness. What you owe my sister is something you can never repay in your lifetime, something you'll never be able to repay."

Yun Si's father was unwilling to see him, and the Lu family was also unwilling to give him the opportunity to see the old man off on his final journey.

This realization caused Xie Chaoyin to close her eyes in pain.

A cold-blooded and ruthless person might not care about these things, but Xie Chaoyin is not one of them.

Xie Chaoyin came from a scholarly family and was taught to cultivate himself through tranquility from a young age. He was upright and had his own beliefs. The mental torment he suffered from far outweighed the physical pain.

He would rather the Lu family attack him, preferably kill him here, so that he could pay with his own life.

But the Lu family wouldn't let him have his way.

They were unwilling to grant his wish.

Lu Yingliang glanced at Lu Yinghui and then let go.

Lu Fengqing seemed oblivious to all of this, quietly sitting on the edge of the bed with Rui Rui in her arms.

She's already in her twenties, has found someone she wants to spend her life with, and has children. The role of a father came too late, and whether he exists or not is no longer important to her.

In her heart, nothing was more important than her grandfather at this moment.

Lu Yinghui and Lu Yingliang ignored Xie Chaoyin and went back into the ward.

This time, they closed the door.

They completely shut Xie Chaoyin out of the ward.

Their family affairs are none of an outsider's business.

Gu Suixing sighed, "Third Uncle."

Looking at the whole thing from an outsider's perspective, Xie Chaoyin didn't actually do anything wrong. The one who was wrong was clearly Tang Ya, and the one who was wrong was clearly fate. But Xie Chaoyin was wrong.

Because this is the responsibility that every man should bear.

Xie Chaoyin remained motionless, kneeling at the door of the ward like a stone statue.

Doctors and nurses passing by couldn't help but cast curious glances in their direction.

The sky gradually darkened.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

"Chaoyin!"

"Third Brother!"

The Xie family rushed over.

Xie Chaowan was walking at the very front.

Xie Chaowan glanced at the tightly closed ward door, then at her brother kneeling at the ward door, her eyes reddened, and she covered her mouth.

"Chaoyin, Chaoyin." Old Madam Xie stared intently at Xie Chaoyin, calling out her youngest son's name over and over again.

Accompanying the two elderly people were Xie Chaoyin's elder brother and sister-in-law, Xie Chaokun and Xie Chaolang, and their wives.

Gu Zhenying walked to Gu Suixing's side and looked at his nephew, asking what was going on.

Gu Suixing didn't expect that all the elders of the Xie family would come. "...Grandpa Lu doesn't want to see Third Uncle."

Gu Zhenying turned around and exchanged a glance with her husband.

Xie Chaokun looked at his younger brother and sighed.

A few days ago, when my younger sister Xie Chaowan came home, they learned that my brother had a daughter.

That little girl has been raised by the Lu family all these years.

At the same time, they also learned about their niece's mother.

It turns out that the woman who was with their younger brother in City C back then was Lu Yunsi, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

Before they could even process what had happened, they heard that Old Master Lu was nearing his end, and then they were told that his younger brother, Xie Chaoyin, had come to the hospital.

The two elderly people could no longer sit still.

The marriage of their youngest son and daughter has always been a worry for them.

Especially Madam Xie.

Her youngest son was sickly as a child and practically grew up on medicine, so she doted on him more from a young age. Later, she made a mistake that caused her youngest son to remain unmarried to this day.

Their daughter told them that their youngest son had a daughter outside of their marriage, and for a moment they didn't know whether to be more surprised or more delighted.

No matter how you look at it, their youngest son was wrong and wronged the girl, and they accept that.

So when they heard that their youngest son had come to the hospital to see Grandpa Lu, they rushed over as well.

They were supposed to come.

They should have come much earlier. When a child does something wrong, the parents can't escape responsibility. It's their fault for not disciplining their child properly.

Repentance and atonement are both appropriate.

Mr. Xie glanced at his youngest son, who was kneeling and wouldn't get up, but said nothing. He let him stay kneeling, sighed inwardly, walked forward, knocked on the door of the ward, and prepared to apologize on behalf of his son.

Just then, a mournful cry came from inside the door.

Mr. Xie's hand trembled.
