Chapter 385: Turning Point of Destiny

Mrs. Xie cried and mentioned his late wife. Father Xie finally regained his composure and let go of her hand. He felt a little guilty and said, "I did lose my composure just now. I'm sorry."

"I'm really provoked by you. These words are not what you should say."

"You weren't like this before." Xie Huaiyu sighed.

When Mrs. Xie mentioned his sister, he also thought of what this woman had done for the family over the years.

She took over her sister's role, taking care of her husband and children, but she didn't have a child of her own.

The Xie family did owe her something, and everyone knew it.

So at the dinner party for her goddaughter, although the Xie family was so passive, they all gave her face.

She was not accused of doing anything wrong. The old lady was obviously unhappy, but she didn't say a word against her.

Everyone knows her dedication...

"Everything I do is for the good of Nancheng."

"He is not my biological son, but he is better than my biological son."

"My sister gave birth to him, so he is related to me by blood."

"I only want my son, can you understand?"

"My son is fine, wife, he's fine. He's an adult, not a fool. You'll know from this fight with the third wife that he handled it perfectly."

"But I was bewitched by the vixen." Mrs. Xie's eyes were red.

"Let's leave the affairs of the young couple to them, okay?"

"We are all retired, so don't interfere too much in our children's affairs." Father Xie said earnestly.

"Humph, this is irresponsible of you."

Thank you, Dad: ...

"If we continue to let this go, it will only lead to tragedy."

"Wife, let me take you away." Xie Huaiyu suddenly said this.

Mrs. Xie was slightly startled. "Where are you going? Where are you going?"

"Let's go abroad and settle down. Don't you like New Zealand?"

"Or Australia, either is fine."

"We stay away from these disputes and live a free and easy life."

"You like painting, so I'll accompany you to paint all four seasons."

"I like skiing and cycling, and you can accompany me."

"Just being ourselves, isn't it good?"

God knows how much courage Xie Huaiyu had to say that.

He wanted to take his wife away, not only because her current condition was not right.

It was also because he was afraid that he would lose control and go find... her.

Because recently, his mind has often been disturbed by that shadow, and he has been absent-minded.

He himself did not expect that at such an old age, he would still be so excited when he met Bai Yueguang again after many years.

So in order to stop thinking about it, he took the initiative to leave Xiangcheng.

This also became a turning point in their destiny...

"Going abroad?" Mrs. Xie was stunned again. This was something she had never expected.

"No, aren't you the most patriotic?"

"You look down on immigrants the most, and you can't adapt to foreign food."

"People always change." Xie's father said meaningfully.

"You're just kidding, you're just talking. If you really go, you'll be back in less than three days."

"There's nothing better than home abroad. I won't leave. If you want to leave, you go. I want to stay with my son and take care of his children."

"Don't you dislike your daughter-in-law?" Father Xie glanced at her.

"The child might be born by the next daughter-in-law."

Thank you, Dad: ...

"Wife, I'm asking you one last time, are you leaving or not?"

"If you don't leave now, you won't regret it later."

"Think it over and answer me."

"No need to think about it, I'll answer you now, I'm not leaving."

"I won't leave Xiangcheng even a step." Many of Mrs. Xie's friends are wealthy ladies in Xiangcheng. She lives a life of luxury here, receiving VIP service wherever she goes. How could she bear to go to a place where no one knows her?

"Okay, I won't mention it again."

Since they were not on the same page, there was no point in talking any more. Xie's father turned around and stopped looking at her.

Mrs. Xie would complain about her daughter-in-law in the group from time to time, and chat with Zhou Han from time to time.

Dad Xie originally wanted to watch one episode of a costume drama and then go to bed, but who would have thought... someone would actually add him on WeChat.

He opened it and saw the WeChat name was Lan.

The avatar is an orchid, but I can't tell anything about it.

Just when he was hesitating, the friend verification message came again.

——Huaiyu, I am Kelan.

The word Huaiyu immediately made Xie's father feel amorous, and he accepted it almost immediately.

Even the hand pressing the screen was shaking.

Lan has passed your verification and you can start chatting.

Xie Huaiyu: How do you get my WeChat?

Lan: Xiaoguang gave it to me.

Xie Huaiyu knew who this Xiaoguang was. Xiaoguang’s full name was Qi Xiaoguang, and he was their mutual friend.

To be exact, the three of them were classmates in junior high school. Qi Xiaoguang was now the president of a small bank and from time to time he needed to ask his old classmates for help in getting some large savings, so he had always been in contact with Xie Huaiyu.

Xie Huaiyu: Are you in contact with Xiaoguang?

Lan: We just got in touch recently. I now live in the old house left by my mother, and Xiaoguang’s mother also lives there.

Xie Huaiyu: You've been out of town, so why are you back in Hong Kong? Are you visiting relatives?

Lan: No, my parents are gone, so how can I have any relatives to visit?

Xie Huaiyu: Then you are...

Lan: I am divorced and have been living alone with my daughter. However, in the city where we lived before, my ex-husband would harass us when he was drunk. We only moved back after the Chinese New Year this year.

Xie Huaiyu: The one I almost bumped into that day...was you?

Lan: Yeah.

Xie Huaiyu: You saw me, why did you run away? I didn't even have time to say a word to you.

Lan: Because I don’t want you to see me in such a mess.

After listening to this, Xie Huaiyu fell silent.

Lan: Huaiyu, how have you been these years?

On the other side, Tianyi Pavilion.

When Tu Ran opened the door and came in, Xie Nancheng was still in the study.

He didn't even know his wife had gone out.

After Tu Ran finished taking a shower and cut some fruit, he sat on the sofa and watched TV.

Xie Nancheng just walked out of the study.

Tu Ran briefly told him about Tongtong, but he showed no expression.

Suddenly——

A strange image flashed through Tu Ran's mind.

My father-in-law, also known as Mr. Xie, was hugging a strange woman.

The kind that hugs you very tightly.

Moreover, the woman seemed to be still crying, and only this scene flashed by.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you just staring blankly?"

"Hmm?" Tu Ran came back to his senses.

"How is grandma?" Xie Nancheng asked.

"Not bad, grandma is fine."

"South City."

"Um?"

"Dad...is there anything wrong with him recently? Have you met Dad?" Tu Ran asked him.

"No, Dad hasn't been to the company recently, and I haven't been to the old house either. What's wrong? Why do you ask?"

"When you have time recently, talk to Dad. I think... Dad might be under a lot of pressure. You should pay more attention to him."

"It's okay, the old man has a good attitude, I don't need to worry about him." Xie Nancheng didn't take it seriously at all.

"What if Dad has a woman outside?"

Tu Ran couldn't help but said it bluntly, and Xie Nancheng was dumbfounded.

"What did you say?" He thought he had misheard.
