After a two-hour journey, the siblings finally arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
The two found him using the room number provided by Xi Zhihui.
At that time, the doctor was examining Xi Zhihui.
Upon seeing Xi Zhihui's family finally appear, the nurse beside him complained.
"You must be Mr. Xi's family. He's dying, and you're only showing up now. Where were you all this time?"
Xi Zhihui was shocked to see Xi Ran and Xi Yan at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Nurse, please don't scold them. It's my own fault. I did something to wrong them and abandoned them. It's already very kind of them to come and see me one last time."
The nurse stood there awkwardly, realizing she had misunderstood the two children; things were not as she thought.
"I'm sorry! I thought you were the kind of unfilial descendants..."
Xi Ran smiled and said, "It's alright. People often sympathize with the weak. It's human nature. Who would think too deeply about the meaning behind it? We came here today to see him one last time. After all, this is the kind of treatment a man who has abandoned his wife and children three times deserves."
The nurse's expression became even more awkward. It turned out that Mr. Xi was a typical scumbag. If it were her... she wouldn't even bother to see him one last time... Serves him right. She hated irresponsible men more than anything in her life.
She's already married and has children, so she should take responsibility. Instead, she's having affairs. I wish I could take back all the sympathy I had for Mr. Xi before.
She had been taking care of Xi Zhihui ever since he was hospitalized. Seeing him all alone as an old man, she felt a pang of pity, especially since he was seriously ill and had no family members around. She thought...
well!!!
retribution!
Fortunately, his two children didn't hold it against him and were willing to come and see him off on his final journey.
The children's mother didn't show up; she must have been heartbroken and didn't want to see them one last time.
He asked Mr. Xi if he had any children. Mr. Xi had previously vaguely mentioned that he had a wife and a son and a daughter.
So that's what happened! The truth is finally out!
I thought he was an ingrate, but I never expected Mr. Xi to be the real scumbag.
The nurse stood there, caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to leave or stay. A doctor nearby noticed her predicament and came to her rescue.
"Say what you have to say as soon as possible, the patient doesn't have much time left."
Xi Ran and Xi Yan nodded in unison.
Taking advantage of the lull, the doctor pushed the nurse out.
Xi Zhihui reached out to pull the two children closer, but they didn't come any closer, leaving Xi Ran and Xi Yan looking embarrassed.
Xi Ran whispered in Xi Yan's ear, "Since we're already here, even if we don't want to, we should at least pretend. After all, he's our biological father. The dead are too great to be touched by ghosts. Just pretend we were touched by a ghost."
Xi Yan looked at his mischievous older sister with amusement. Ever since she started dating Jiang Yi, her personality had truly been unleashed.
Mischievous and naughty, they say all sorts of things.
However, he really liked the changes in his older sister, which were refreshing.
He was happy as long as his sister was happy, and he rarely felt inferior to her, which made him very happy.
I hope there will be a girl who doesn't care about his messy family background and can love him properly.
There will come a day when he and his sister will receive the redemption they deserve, and that will be the greatest fortune of them not to be trapped in the past.
Seeing his sister always smiling, he really wants to be in a relationship too.
Where is his soulmate? When will she appear?
Xi Yan quickly shook off those messy thoughts from his mind; the current situation wasn't suitable for thinking about such things.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Xi Yan moved closer to Xi Zhihui's bedside, as did Xi Ran, who forced herself to get closer to Xi Zhihui.
She no longer had any fatherly or daughterly feelings for Xi Zhihui, and even if she did, those feelings disappeared four years ago.
At that time, she kept hoping that her father would come back soon because she couldn't bear it anymore. Disappointment piled up one after another. Later, she lost her expectations and slowly faded away in the mix of love and hate. Later, Chu Jiangyi helped her slowly get out of the shadows. Fatherly love could no longer stir any ripples in her heart.
That period was really tiring. I had to study and work part-time to earn a living. I was listless every day, and the happiest thing was to get a good night's sleep.
At the time, she hated and resented Xi Zhihui for being so ruthless, leaving her and Xi Yan no way out.
Later, she found the answer: she and Xi Yan were neither important nor unimportant to Xi Zhihui.
Since she didn't love them as much as others, why should Xi Zhihui occupy a place in her and Xi Yan's hearts? Later, she gradually came to terms with it.
Some things, once let go, have nothing to do with love, hate, or grudges; it's simply that you no longer care.
Whether Xi Zhihui's repentance was genuine or feigned, it had no effect on them whatsoever.
Struggling with things you can't hold onto only hurts yourself. Why not be more carefree? These are the things Chu Jiangyi taught her, and she also used them to enlighten Xi Yan. The two siblings have slowly emerged from the pain of the past.
So they all listened to Chu Jiangyi's words, let go of everything, and forgive themselves.
She no longer hates Xi Zhihui; he is now insignificant to her.
The siblings stood awkwardly on either side, as if they were on their way to the execution ground.
Xi Zhihui was very happy, holding the two siblings' arms tightly as he confessed his remorse, completely unaware of the disgusted looks on their faces, which he couldn't see from his bed.
"Ranran, Ayan, I'm sorry, but I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
Xi Ran rolled her eyes silently, thinking to herself, "You know you're wrong? Unless it rains blood, or a dying man's words are kind, Xi Ran won't bother arguing with him."
You only have Huang Jiao'er and Xi Ze in your eyes and heart, but in the end you find that neither of them belongs to you.
He wanted to repent to them, atone for his sins, and leave without regrets, but in the end, he was still the selfish Xi Zhihui. How hypocritical!
Xi Ran suppressed her discomfort and stood obediently, listening to Xi Zhihui's rambling.
Xi Yan, a grown man, felt goosebumps all over and was so disgusted he felt like vomiting.
He simply didn't believe Xi Zhihui would repent.
It's simply going with the flow, paying off one's sins and escaping debt.
What's there to repent for? Even if we take a step back and say that Huang Jiao'er hadn't run off with the tycoon, and Xi Ze was still his own flesh and blood, this whole situation would never have happened.
There's no repentance drama here; all they show is maternal love and filial piety. How could they possibly remember their abandoned children? How hypocritical!
No one was there to see him off on his deathbed, so he said those mushy things so that he could leave without regrets.
