Although she felt it was the obvious thing to do, Xie Huanyu still chose to keep it a secret from her father for the time being.
So when she saw Xie Junyang suddenly appear in the ward, she was completely stunned.
Xie Huanyu walked forward cautiously, her tone tinged with guilt, "Dad, you're here!"
As if he hadn't heard anything, Xie Junyang looked at Lu Huai, who was leaning against the bed, and asked with a forced smile,
"Xiao Huai, how are you recovering?"
Lu Huai replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I'm much better now!"
"In that case, does that mean Huanyu doesn't need to take care of things here? After all, the company has been quite busy lately!"
Xie Huanyu's eye twitched uncontrollably. Just as she was about to say something, Xie Junyang suddenly shot her back with a cold glare.
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't think it through." Lu Huai tried his best to maintain a calm expression, then turned to Xie Huanyu standing on the other side, "Huanyu, you go back first, I can be fine at home by myself!"
As he spoke, Lu Huai unconsciously clenched his hand, which was hidden in the shadows.
He thought that since he had just saved Xie Huanyu's life, Xie Junyang's attitude towards him would soften somewhat, but he didn't expect him to still be so rude.
"Well, in that case, we'll head back now."
"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You should rest well during this time and avoid contact with those animals that are kept in cages all year round!" Xie Junyang said with a forced smile.
He hadn't intended to reveal his true intentions so quickly, but since the father and son showed no sign of restraint, it was necessary to give them a good warning.
Animals in cages.
Lu Huai understood the implied meaning in an instant. He looked up in surprise and met the meaningful look in the other person's eyes. He suddenly realized what was going on.
After confirming that it wasn't Xu Yanshu, he carefully went through everyone around him who might have done this, except for Xie Junyang.
He thought that the debts would be settled after the company went bankrupt, but now it seems that Xie Junyang still has no intention of letting him go... He suddenly felt a chill.
Watching the father and daughter walk away side by side, Lu Huai's eyes welled up with intense hatred, and his expression was as gloomy as a demon from hell.
He knew that Xie Junyang wanted to force him away from Xie Huanyu in this way, but things always turn out the opposite of what they should do. The more Xie Junyang tried to do this, the more he wanted to manipulate Xie Huanyu.
The father and daughter got into the car one after the other. Looking at her father's gloomy face, Xie Huanyu felt increasingly uneasy, and she nervously pursed her red lips.
So how did Father know I was here...? Did Xu Yanshu betray me?!
"Dad, I..."
Xie Junyang interrupted without a word, his tone leaving no room for argument, "I hope this is the last time. If you do it again, you can go back to the basement and reflect on your actions. We'll talk again when you've thought things through!"
basement.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and Xie Huanyu suddenly shivered, her face filled with terror.
Because she was destined to be the heir, while receiving endless love and affection, her father had extremely strict requirements for her from a young age.
The Xie family's basement was one of the punishments specifically designed for her.
Besides being in complete darkness, they are also required to face various cruel and bloody virtual scenes, such as lovers stabbing each other with knives, and even hearing all sorts of strange noises while sleeping.
She was first imprisoned during her junior high school years, a period of adolescence. She angered her father by saying she didn't want to inherit the family business. After she was released, she developed a serious mental illness.
Later, because she said she wanted to dance and was unwilling to do good, her father threw her into the basement for a whole month, where she suffered mental torment and abuse.
Later, she was warned again because of the marriage. The extreme fear made her unconsciously choose to give in, and the next day she went to Xu Yanshu and took the initiative to propose marriage.
Xie Huanyu unconsciously reached out and grabbed the armrest of the seat. Her breathing became heavy. Although it had been a long time since she had been inside, she still clearly remembered that fear.
Seeing his daughter's face gradually turn pale, Xie Junyang was very satisfied, and the fierce aura in his aura gradually faded away.
Principles cannot be abandoned. Even if it were his own daughter, he would never indulge her without any limits. If it were anyone else, he would have already resorted to other means.
"From now on, you are not allowed to get involved in anything related to the Lu family. Spend more time on Xu Yanshu and hurry up and have a child!"
Xie Huanyu nodded mechanically, "Okay, I understand!"
Neither the father nor the daughter spoke again until the car stopped at the apartment building. Xie Huanyu managed to calm herself down, but her pale face showed no signs of improvement.
"Dad, I'll go upstairs first!"
Xie Junyang nodded slightly. "Go, and remember what I said!"
Xie Huanyu nodded obediently in agreement before turning around and getting out of the car, her steps appearing weak and listless.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang, and Xu Yanshu got up from the sofa to go to the door. He was startled to see Xie Huanyu's face as white as paper.
She looked clearly frightened, but Xie Huanyu wasn't a timid person, and she had been taking care of Lu Huai at the hospital these past few days.
He unconsciously reached out to help Xie Huanyu up, "What's wrong? What happened?"
It's very likely that he told his father!
Xie Huanyu glanced at the other person with an ambiguous expression, then dodged the man's hand and went straight back to the master bedroom, locking the door in one swift motion.
Xu Yanshu was increasingly confused by these actions, and just as he sat down on the sofa, he heard the sound of things being smashed coming from the room.
This made him realize even more that things were not so simple.
In all these years of marriage, although Xie Huanyu has lost her temper quite often, she has never been this out of control as she is now.
Inside the room, Xie Huanyu vented her anger recklessly, smashing everything she could to pieces. Her face was flushed red with extreme rage.
For the sake of the so-called family mission, she had already given up her dream of dancing and obeyed his arrangement to marry Xu Yanshu. Why did he still force her like this?
After venting her anger, Xie Huanyu collapsed onto the floor as if she had lost all her strength, tears silently streaming down her face.
She thought she had made it through, but now she is still completely controlled by her father. What's the difference between this life and being a puppet?!
Hearing the noise in the master bedroom finally subside, Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion.
So what exactly is going on?
As he was pondering this problem, his phone, which was on the coffee table in front of him, suddenly rang—
