Xue Qiandai expressed her understanding and patted her on the shoulder again, saying, "Keep it up."
Jian Yan felt uncomfortable meeting her gaze and tried to change the subject, "The weather isn't hot right now, why are you wearing so much?" She reached for Xue Qiandai's scarf, but before she could react, the scarf fell to the ground.
Her once snow-white neck was now covered with countless tiny crabapple blossoms.
Jian Yan swallowed hard, "You guys..."
President Huo is too fierce.
This time, it was Xue Qiandai's turn to feel uncomfortable. She sat back down at her workstation and put her scarf back on properly. "Back to work. We need to promote the InterContinental franchise well. I'll call and talk to the other hotels that were interested before."
The phone rang.
Xue Qiandai answered the phone; it was from the detention center. Her visitation application had been approved. She could see her father on Friday.
Following their brief meeting in court, Xue Qiandai saw her father again.
Through the thick glass, she fought back her tears and picked up the phone. "Dad..."
Xue Jingnian's fingers were pressed against the glass. Time had etched deep lines on his face, yet he remained strong and resilient. "Qian Dai, don't cry. Dad is fine. In a few years, we'll be reunited."
Xue Qiandai wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand and handed over some pastries. "Hmm, I bought some of your favorite snacks. I'll make them for you when you come out."
There are regulations for prison visits: items must be purchased from stores under the detention center or must be inspected and approved for delivery.
My daughter has grown up and become even more filial.
“Dai Dai, I’m so glad you’re with Mr. Huo. He came to see you after you left. He looked so haggard and thin, which shows he really cared about you. I was thinking about going to jail soon, so I told him that I was the one who sent you away, otherwise you wouldn’t have broken your promise. He was so happy to hear that, and he said he would wait for you to come back. It’s good that you two didn’t miss each other, otherwise I would have felt guilty.”
Xue Qiandai knew that Huo Meiren hadn't been doing well during the time she was away, but it wasn't until her father told her today that she truly understood the pain and torment that the person who had been waiting for her had endured.
“Dai Dai, there’s something else I need to tell you.” Xue Jingnian’s eyes flickered, as if he had done a lot of mental preparation. “You actually… have a younger sister named Su Qianhui, who should be a big star now. I know you have a strong personality, and now that the Xue family is down on its luck, if you need any help but are too embarrassed to ask Mr. Huo, you can talk to your sister. After all, you share the same blood.”
Even though she already knew the truth, why did it still hurt so much to hear it? Xue Qiandai gripped the phone handle tightly, looking directly into her father's eyes, "Dad, do you love Mom?"
Xue Jingnian gazed into the distance, reminiscing about the past, "Love, how could I not love her? She was the best woman in the world."
But on this long journey of life, there always needs to be someone to walk with, right?
"How did she die? I went to the birthday party of Zhao Sheng, the chairman of Tian Sheng Capital, and met his wife. She knew a lot about my mother and even said that she was my aunt."
Xue Jingnian's expression suddenly changed.
