"What happened to Xie Yuan?" Song Xia received a call from Yu Ting as soon as she got off the plane, and stood there in shock.

Yu Ting took a sip of water and sorted out the news she had just received: "Chi Jie beat Xie Yuan to a pulp. I heard that Xie Yuan was doing 'that' with Zuo Shan at the time, and Chi Jie couldn't stop himself. He had been drinking, so he hit him a little too hard."

She said with a hint of pity, "You have no idea what a terrible scene it was. Zuo Shan was driven crazy by the torture."

Song Xia showed no expression upon hearing this, and certainly no pity like Yu Ting did, because Yu Ting was unaware of the consequences of not divorcing, while Song Xia knew perfectly well.

If it weren't for Xiaoling, Lingling would have died, and she would have gone mad like Zuoshan. Xie Yuan and Zuoshan are now suffering the consequences of their own actions.

Chi Jie was the same; if he hadn't intervened, Yu Ting would have been driven to her death. Now that Xie Yuan and Zuo Shan have ended up like this, he will definitely be held criminally responsible.

"Zhang Yuefen will have a tough time from now on. She'll have to take care of her disabled son and her eldest grandson. Xie Chuancai should be out of prison soon too. Tsk, the whole family is waiting for her!"

Song Xia sneered, "Weren't you very proud of the three men in your family? Now you can have them all in your hands."

Without even asking, she knew that Zhang Yuefen must feel like the sky had fallen.

Zhang Yuefen was crying outside Xie Yuan's ward, saying, "I knew that bitch Zuo Shan was good at harming people. She harmed my son once, and now she wants to harm him a second time. Damn it, why doesn't she just die?"

The nurse helplessly advised, "Family member of the patient, this is a hospital, please be quiet."

“My son is in this state, how can you expect me to stay calm? Is it because you didn’t treat him properly? Is it because you think I didn’t pay enough money? It was Chi Jie who did it. I will sue Zhang Yuefang until she is bankrupt. We have money. My son has a lot of money abroad.”

"Madam, this isn't about money. Please calm down and don't disturb the other patients."

"I won't leave. I'm going to stay with my son, my poor son!"

On the other hand, Xie Chuancai, whose sentence was reduced by less than Xie Yuan's, was finally released from prison. Zhang Yuefen had given him the address when she visited him before, but he seemed to be a bit senile now and didn't know how to take a bus. He got lost while walking.

"Sir, what's wrong?" The patrol officer noticed something was wrong with him and went up to ask. He saw that the man was holding a piece of paper, and after realizing it was an address, he kindly took him home.

There was no one at home at this time. Even Xie Tianci had gone off to play somewhere. He sat blankly in the yard until it got dark.

"Old man, what are you doing in my house? Stealing things?" Xie Tianci looked at him warily, and when he didn't react, he started rummaging through his things.

"Get out, get out, you stinking beggar, don't come to my house." Xie Tianci didn't find anything, so he chased him out of the courtyard gate.

Xie Chuancai murmured a few times. In prison, he was often bullied, so in order to avoid trouble, he simply stopped talking. Now that he wanted to speak, he couldn't find the words.

He didn't see her, and he wasn't sure if Zhang Yuefen still lived there, so he staggered away, and then he was never seen again.

After all, he is already somewhat senile, doesn't know where his ID card is, and doesn't have his family's contact information, so he can only go wherever he wants.

Song Xia didn't inquire about what happened after that; only Yu Ting would occasionally pass on some news to her.

"Chi Jie was sentenced to three years, which should have been a heavier sentence. Zhang Yuefen extorted money from Zhang Yuefang, so Xie Yuan wrote a letter of understanding."

"That must be a lot of money."

"Anyway, we sold all the remaining houses." Yu Ting laughed heartily. "Chi Jie had already squandered a lot of money over the years, and now the mother and son are probably really broke. Zhang Yuefang even came to me, wanting me to remarry her son, saying that I'm too old to have children, and now there's a ready-made one to support me in my old age. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Song Xia scoffed. These sisters really are family. Zhang Yuefen had gone to the Song family to see her before, saying that Xie Yuan had reformed and would live a good life after he got out. She was speechless at the time. Did Xie Yuan deserve that?

Now she wants to say to Zhang Yuefang, "Does your son Chi Jie deserve her? Yu Ting is a high-paid white-collar worker, a beautiful woman, and she has no shortage of suitors. Moreover, her conditions are far better than Chi Jie's. Yu Ting hasn't been moved by any of them. What is your son, that scoundrel, compared to her? He even wants to support Chi Jie and Zuo Shan's child? He's dreaming!"

"She didn't harass you, did she?"

"No, my colleague yelled at me and drove me away. I haven't seen him since. I was eating at the time, and it gave me a fright."

"It's best to ignore these kinds of people; the more you engage with them, the more confident they become."

"Yeah, I won't pay attention to it anymore. We're from two different worlds now. Xiaxia, when are you coming back?"

"After visiting Lingling, I'll go back to China to rest for a while, and then we'll make another appointment."

Song Xia didn't tell Lingling about Xie Yuan's news, preferring not to offend her daughter's ears. Xie Yuan and Zuo Shan were truly inconsiderate.

However, she did not expect to run into Xie Yuan after returning to China. At that time, she was being greeted by the hostess as she entered the door, while Xie Yuan naturally could not enter. The two looked at each other from a distance, and Song Xia turned her head away expressionlessly.

Xie Yuan was extremely excited, but after the excitement came feelings of inferiority. Song Xia hadn't changed much from before; in fact, she had become even more beautiful and charming. As for himself, he was slovenly and dirty, and ordinary people would cover their noses in disgust when they walked past him.

He waited at the door, not knowing what he was hoping for. Perhaps he wanted to say a few words to Song Xia, or perhaps he wanted her to sponsor him. But he waited until midnight without seeing her, feeling icy cold.

Later, he saw news about his daughter. By then, she was no longer called Xie Lingling, but Song Lingling. She had won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad and received recognition.

Song Xia has raised her so well. She is intelligent, composed, confident, and generous. All the wonderful words can be used to describe her. She has completely lost the cautious and timid fear she had when she was a child.

Beside him was his son, Xie Tianci, who had been given high hopes since childhood. Xie Tianci was spoiled and only knew how to play games all day. He was fat and wobbled when he walked. He was fine when he was full, but if he was in a bad mood, he would ask for money. If he couldn't get money, he would beat and kick him and his mother.

He had no sympathy for his mother. If it weren't for his mother's doting love, how could Xie Tianci have become like this?

Heavenly Gift, Heavenly Gift, what an ironic name!

As for his father, he didn't go looking for him either; he himself lived like a maggot.

Later, Zhang Yuefen died without seeing her eldest grandson Xie Tianci achieve anything. However, it was Xie Tianci who discovered her body. Because he was hungry, Xie Tianci couldn't move her and realized she was gone.

Xie Yuan silently cremated her. Xie Tianci didn't even kneel down to burn a single piece of paper. Later, Xie Yuan disappeared. Xie Tianci roared in anger. In order to eat and drink, he had to go out and accept the beatings of society. But in society, no one would indulge him like Zhang Yuefen. He was short-tempered, incompetent, and lazy. His fate was predictably miserable.
