Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 488: What do you want to do?
"But I'm an outsider. There's nothing to be embarrassed about admitting."
"But Huaiyu, I am indeed worried about you."
"You're already old, and you should be enjoying your life, but you still have to work hard for your family. It's not easy."
Qiao Kelan was like an understanding and intimate beauty, and every word she said just touched Xie Dad's heart.
"You are the only one who understands me the best."
"Your wife understands you too." Qiao Kelan said deliberately.
"Forget it, let's not talk about her." Xie's father now felt even more resentful of his wife. At first, before Qiao Kelan showed up, he'd simply assumed his wife was going through menopause, suspicious, or unreasonable. But after a while, it would be fine. It wouldn't stay like this forever.
But ever since Qiao Kelan appeared, he no longer had any eyes for his wife.
Even seeing her or hearing her talk makes me upset.
So I go home very rarely, and I get home in the middle of the night every day.
The old lady tried to hint at it, but to no avail.
I dare not speak rashly, after all, I am afraid of causing discord between mother and son.
Xie Nancheng also talked to him, and he kept saying that he and Qiao Kelan were old classmates and good friends.
There is no mention of relationships between men and women.
But is it really like that?
I guess he himself feels guilty.
But no matter what, Xie Huaiyu still loves his son, otherwise he would not have rushed to help his son out of trouble this time.
"Huaiyu, where does your daughter-in-law come from?"
"The rumors outside are very mysterious, and I don't know whether they are true or not."
"What are people saying outside?" Xie Huaiyu did not feel the slightest bit disgusted. Instead, he was always friendly to Qiao Kelan.
"People say she is the adopted daughter of the Lin family."
"I married into the family to pave the way for the Lin family."
"This is not entirely true. Of course, that child is not the Lin family's adopted daughter, and the Lin family doesn't treat her well."
"So is she a doctor? Some say she's studying medicine."
"That's more like it. She does understand Chinese medicine, and her medical skills are pretty good."
Father Xie knew that his daughter-in-law had treated his son, the old lady, and Xie Jiatong.
So I still trust my daughter-in-law's medical skills.
"It's so good, can you let her show it to me when you have time?"
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Huaiyu was stunned.
"I..." Qiao Kelan said and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Xie Huaiyu couldn't help but put his hands on Qiao Kelan's shoulders, "Kelan, what's wrong?"
"Huaiyu, I really... can't say it."
"That's why I haven't been able to go to the hospital."
"What's going on? You're making me nervous. You can't tell me anything?" Xie's father was very excited by Qiao Kelan's look and wanted to know immediately.
After a silence of five or six seconds, Qiao Kelan blushed and said, "Huaiyu, I...actually it's a gynecological problem. Normally, at my age, I should have gone through menopause long ago. But I...not only haven't I gone through menopause, but my flow is frighteningly heavy. My menstrual cycle used to be about three days, but now it's lasting seven. I don't know if I'm sick."
Xie Huaiyu suddenly froze, feeling extremely embarrassed, and didn't even know how to respond.
To be honest, he is a businessman and has experience in business, but he has no experience in these women's private matters and does not even discuss these issues with his wife.
Over the years, he and his wife have treated each other with respect. It cannot be said to be affectionate, but it is almost respect.
If they were really in love, they wouldn't have only had one child, Xie Nancheng, and he wouldn't be Mrs. Xie's child.
If he truly loves someone, he won't be able to resist touching the one he loves, and he won't just have one child...
But now, how could a grown man like him respond to what Qiao Kelan was talking about?
"Huaiyu, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you."
"It's okay, I'll go back... I'll ask Nancheng's wife when I have a chance and ask her to take a look at you."
"Okay, thank you." Qiao Kelan looked at the man in front of her with a gentle expression and infatuation.
This gave Mr. Xie the illusion that this woman loved me very much and her eyes were full of me.
On the other side, the Xie family’s old house.
Xie Nancheng suddenly came back.
"Where's my dad?" I looked for my dad first as I entered the door.
"The master went out and didn't say where he went." Sister Qiu replied.
Xie Nancheng was a little angry because he knew where his father was.
I just didn't expect that with such a big thing happening at home, his father still had time to date his confidante.
It's impossible to say I'm not angry.
After the call was connected, Xie Nancheng's tone was not very good.
"Dad, please come back soon. I have something to tell you."
"Will you be there in half an hour?"
"Well, drive safely." Although he urged urgently, he did not forget to remind him to drive safely.
"My mom and grandma are home, right?"
"They are all here, Master Nancheng."
"Well, let everyone come down. I want to discuss something with my family."
Xie Nancheng was too lazy to go upstairs in person to invite them, as they were all family members around.
He was very upset because of Tu Ran's illness.
So I sat tiredly on the sofa in the living room and massaged my solar plexus.
Soon, everyone arrived.
When someone came down from upstairs, Mr. Xie didn't dare to delay and went home immediately.
"Do I need to call you Third Uncle?" asked Xie's father.
"No need, his thoughts are no longer important."
"Instead, I wanted to talk to you about it."
"I rescued Third Aunt. Grandma knows about this." After saying that, Xie Nancheng glanced at the old lady.
The old lady was obviously not in a good mood and looked a little haggard.
Although it was a hot summer night, Pinggu still gave the old lady a scarf to cover herself with.
"You guys go down first."
"A Ping, go upstairs and look after Tong Tong."
The old lady waved her hand and sent away the nannies and housekeepers.
The four people were standing around the sofa in four directions, not far away from each other.
There was also a rich spread of nuts and fruits on the table, but no one was in the mood to eat.
The atmosphere is also extremely depressing...
"Before I gave Third Aunt the medicine, I found out that Xie Huailan was planning to attack her and put the blame on me."
"There is evidence for this matter. Uncle San has also seen it."
Xie Nancheng said every word.
The other three just listened without expressing any opinions.
"In fact, Xie Huailan obviously didn't have to do this, because Third Aunt never offended her. She and Third Uncle have been a united front against me all these years. So I don't want to believe that she wants to kill Third Aunt. If she had wavered even a little, she wouldn't have fallen into my trap."
"She deserves it. Karma will bring retribution. Evil deeds will eventually lead to their own destruction. Hasn't she done enough to harm you over the years? Although we have no substantial evidence of your blindness, is there anyone else besides her?"
"If he is willing to kill his own nephew, how much more so his sister-in-law who is not related by blood?" These words were said by Mrs. Xie.
Xie Nancheng glanced at his mother and continued, "I gave her a chance, but she still chose to do it, and I believe Third Uncle was also unaware of it. So I played along, making her think Third Aunt was really dead. She quickly bribed the media and trending searches, and started slandering me, trying to kill me."
"Nancheng, there's no need to recount the whole story. Just tell me, what do you want to do with her?" The old lady was a little depressed, but still asked the key question.
