Xie Yan woke up covered in cold sweat. He turned on his phone to confirm that the bodyguards he had arranged were still following Xue Qingdai's whereabouts abroad, and he felt relieved.

But the pain is like the heart is being torn apart, and countless needles are piercing the flesh of the heart, making it hard to breathe.

He could never forget the tragic scene of Xue Qingdai dying of illness in the old house.

Xie Yan sneered. After being plotted against, he still wanted to abandon his woman?

Obviously, he can’t protect himself…

The woman only loved his power and money and never cared about him as a person.

When he had nothing left, he was abandoned.

The climb to power is never smooth; the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Xie Yan was not sure that he could return to his former respected position.

He didn't think about anything, didn't eat breakfast, drank a glass of cold water, and just walked out of the courtyard, someone who was specially sent to monitor him was standing by the stone lion waiting for him.

The seal on the door was messed up by the cold wind. Xie Yan's emotions were completely locked by yesterday's nightmare. His eyes were empty and he only wanted to find the truth.

Xie Yan: "I'm going to Zhejiang Province."

He is currently only suspended from work but is free to move around.

The people who were monitoring him first sent Xie Yan to a residential area on the second ring road.

Xie Yan looked calmly at his mother-in-law Yang Xiaomin who was watering the flowers.

He still had a superficial understanding of Yang Xiaomin's love for her daughter. In his dream, his mother-in-law went completely crazy not long after Xue Qingdai passed away.

The mother-in-law was so thin that she looked unrecognizable. She was fragile and helpless and had no desire to live. It seemed that she could not see clearly. She held Xue Qingdai's old clothes and muttered to herself every day. Later, she was sent to a mental hospital, but she ran out stubbornly, saying that she wanted to find her beloved daughter.

On the contrary.

Now my mother-in-law has a friendly smile, and the wrinkles on her face are full of comfort and happiness. She has a monthly pension of less than 10,000 yuan, four filial children in the family, and the youngest daughter is also well married, so she has nothing to worry about.

She is the envy of the old ladies in the Second Ring Road community. She goes to the People's Park to lead the square dance at 7 or 8 o'clock every day and has a famous nickname "Sister Yang".

"Mom, where is the key to my hometown? Daidai said she forgot something at home and wants me to send it to her." Xie Yan kept observing whether Yang Xiaomin knew about Xue Qingdai's secret trip abroad.

It seemed like she had no idea, and the four Xue siblings kept it completely secret.

Yang Xiaomin hummed "The most beautiful thing is the sunset" and took out a key strung with red wool from the rusty iron box.

"Xiao Xie, don't always give in to my daughter. You're so busy at work. My daughter is idle on weekdays. It makes me angry to see her. She's been spoiled and has become lazy."

Yang Xiaomin said this with a smile on her face, and in her heart she only allowed herself to say this about her daughter, and she couldn't allow others to say it.

Xie Yan's arm reached out slowly. He had just dreamed of a mother-in-law who was too thin to look good, and then he saw her with a rosy complexion.

For a moment, Xie Yan's thin lips moved slightly and he said softly: "She's fine, Mom."

Yang Xiaomin saw him off with a smile.

There were two people monitoring Xie Yan on the train, and when he arrived at the station, local police reinforcements would arrive to prevent Xie Yan from escaping abroad.

Xie Yan is very skilled and ordinary people cannot control him. A total of six special police officers are secretly monitoring him.

The four elderly people were kept in the dark, and no one knew that the Xie family had become a mess.

After Xie Yan entered the room where Xue Qingdai grew up, he found it spotless. Xie Yan guessed that it was done by Grandpa Xue.

Grandpa Xue is a well-known longevity man in the area. He lives a leisurely life playing with cats and walking geese. It’s so nice.

In the dream, his old illness relapsed very early and he died with hatred, a few days earlier than his granddaughter Xue Qingdai.

In the dream, the Xue family had received one shocking piece of bad news after Grandpa Xue left. First, Grandpa Xue passed away, and then Xue's father was plotted against and overthrown by Village Chief Yang...

No one in the Xue family has a good ending.

This is completely opposite to the facts of Xie Yan's world.

He looked at the black and white family portrait hanging on the wall of Xue Qingdai's bedroom. In the portrait, Xue Qingdai looked sick, her almond-shaped eyes had lost their vitality, and her whole body was gray, as if she was about to leave this world.

The strange thing is that he and Xue Qingdai in the dream seemed to have never met each other.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Xie Yan rested his head on Xue Qingdai's buckwheat pillow and picked up the floral quilt. He lowered his head and gently smelled the scent of Xue Qingdai on it, and Xie Yan fell asleep reluctantly.

The sleep became deeper and deeper.

He dreamed of his younger self.

It seems not to be myself...

Previous life

The Xie family's home was decorated to look festive, though a bit crude and not very attentive.

"Xie Yan, even if you don't want to marry me, so what? Your parents have agreed, so you have no choice but to accept it. I will only accept you, an old man, reluctantly."

Xue Qingdai was wearing a red cotton coat, dressed like a bride, and applied bright red lipstick to barely hide her sickly face. The clothes were not delicate but rather rough, and because they were made in a hurry, cotton threads were visible at the corners.

A pretty, delicate face was dressed in inappropriate bridal makeup, with a pale complexion and a mouth covered in lipstick.

Xie Yan, who is in his forties and holds a high position, obviously has a completely different way of doing things from Xie Yan, a young man in his twenties.

Xie Yan was dressed in a military uniform, with an angular profile and hard lines. There was still some wine splashed on his army green shirt, which soaked through and revealed his muscular chest muscles.

He had a cold expression and was unwilling to communicate more. His tone was cold and there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Then congratulations on finally getting your wish and becoming the daughter-in-law of the Xie family."

"Let me be frank with you. You and I are not of the same kind. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get along as a couple."

"When you come to your senses, I'll let you go."

Xie Yan wanted to divorce...

Considering her young age, you should be careful with your words. If you make her cry, you will get into trouble.

The red candle flames symbolize the joy of the New Year, and the man says unlucky words.

Xue Qingdai was not yet twenty years old at that time, and her family members agreed with her in everything, except for the man in front of her, whose heart was as hard as a stinky stone.

She had tears in her eyes and turned away angrily. In her opinion, the most vicious revenge was an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Xue Qingdai said stubbornly: "I will torture you for the rest of your life!"

He is completely different from the gentle older brother in my memory.

Xue Qingdai secretly wrote many letters to Xie Yan with her girlish love, as if the people in front of her didn't want to receive them.

Xue Qingdai felt extremely disappointed.

Xie Yan's brows were tightly knitted together. He had agreed to the engagement reluctantly in the first place and wanted to wait for the right time to cancel the engagement.

The daughter of Xue family threatened Xie family's century-old reputation and insisted on marrying him!

But since he couldn't have children, the Xue family forced him to marry, and I'm afraid they had ulterior motives.

The Xie family has a lot of private property, and all the inheritance rights are in his hands. If he accidentally dies on the battlefield, all the property will be inherited by the daughter of the Xue family. He must be careful and must not let the three brothers of the Xue family take it away.

Xie Yan pushed open the door without even looking back, and just said, "It's up to you!"

"You will regret this. I don't have any romantic feelings for you. You are just a child to me."

"Your best years shouldn't be wasted on me."

Xie Yan put on a military uniform and left indifferently in his wet clothes.

Xue Qingdai threw her embroidered red cloth shoes towards the door. She cried quietly for fear of being heard. Her heart was fragile beneath her strong stance. The room was empty and she was sitting on the peanuts and red dates.

Her butt hurt from the cough and she cried even louder. She was so hungry that she even burped.

The various implications become jokes.

The big red quilt covered only her. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, with only one thought in her mind.

go home……

But the family members left early because they were afraid of causing trouble for the Xie family.

She had already disappointed her grandfather with her arbitrary forced marriage, so she could no longer think about going home. She had to at least wait until her grandfather calmed down.

Xue Qingdai fell asleep while crying.

Xie Yan was persuaded by his mother to go back to the house. As a filial son, he went back reluctantly. As soon as he entered the house, he saw two red cloth shoes smaller than his hands hanging on the threshold.

He squatted down, picked it up and put it beside the bed.

Xue Qingdai was already asleep, her tears had smudged her makeup, and small black spots had formed at the corners of her eyes, making her look a little funny.

Xie Yan's cold and hard lines softened: "She's just a child, and she's still thinking about getting married!"

Is she an adult?

Who can do this...
