My sister is right, just pretend you were touched by a ghost.
But he really didn't want to hear those words.
If they have truly repented, four years is a long time; if they want to come back, they can always come back and see them one last time.
But he didn't.
If Jiang Yige hadn't found the person, tied him up, and brought him back, he and his sister might not have even been able to see each other one last time before they died.
The way things turned out was quite dramatic.
He didn't believe a word he said.
Xi Yan cursed inwardly, "No matter what, I'll endure it. Consider it repaying your kindness in giving me life. It's only for one day. I can bear it. I've endured Lin Bifan's terror for many years. Let him leave in peace."
After all, he was quite pitiful, having been cheated out of money and affection, and even raising someone else's child for four years.
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful!
There's no need to overthink it!
Considering how much he loved him when he was a child, let's just repay this father-son bond!
Xi Ran and Xi Yan endured their discomfort as they listened to Xi Zhihui reminisce about the past, how much he regretted it, and how much better it would have been if he hadn't abandoned them.
Xi Ran and Xi Yan nodded in agreement numbly.
Finally, after three hours, there was no more sound. The siblings thought that Xi Zhihui had fallen asleep because he was tired.
The siblings leaned against another hospital bed and dozed off for a while.
About half an hour later, the nurses made their rounds and learned that Xi Zhihui had passed away in his sleep.
This is fine too!
Xi Yan and Xi Ran, siblings, exchanged a glance, their faces expressionless.
They weren't sad at all.
Xi Yan glanced at his older sister and said, "Don't you think we're too cold-blooded? Are we what people call cold-blooded animals? Our father is dead, and we're not sad at all, not even a single tear."
Xi Ran sighed and waved her hand, she wasn't going to take the blame for this. "It's not our fault, it's just that he was too ruthless and cruel back then. What feelings could I still have for him? They were all worn away by four years of cold words and insults. How many scornful looks did we face when we were in school? Have you forgotten?"
Xi Yan shook his head. "I haven't forgotten. It left a deep impression on me. Nobody played with me. They said that like father, like son, and they were afraid I would lead them astray, so nobody played with me. I was quite lonely. If he had come back sooner, maybe I would have forgiven him, but... he... has remained unknown for four years. What do you think I have left?"
The nurse listened to the two children's conversation and felt a pang of sadness. They couldn't cry, but she didn't feel cold-blooded.
"You're not cold-blooded, I think you're adorable, you're so genuine!"
Xi Ran and Xi Ran exchanged a glance and smiled. There are still clear-headed people in this world who won't stand on a moral high ground to criticize them.
My heart feels warm!
Xi Ran shrugged and continued to answer the question Xi Yan had just raised, "But there are no 'buts' in this world. The damage caused can't be erased just like that."
Xi Yan nodded!
The nurse stood by and watched the two siblings chat, feeling even more sorry for them. She wanted to handle everything so that the two children wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
Mr. Xi Zhihui did so many things he shouldn't have done, which led to the situation becoming irreversible.
The two children weren't heartless; it was Xi Zhihui who was heartless. Who would have thought that the honest and unassuming Xi Zhihui would turn out to be such a scumbag?
The two siblings spent most of the day at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and finally completed all of Xi Zhihui's procedures.
...
Three days later.
Xi Ran took Xi Yan to the Chu family.
Xi Yan looked at the villa in front of him and swallowed hard.
"This villa must be expensive, right?"
"Of course! But I haven't asked how much it costs."
When Xi Yan first arrived at the Chu family, he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He thought to himself, "The rich live such a wonderful life."
He also needs to work hard so he can live a good life in a villa!
Yu Xuehui's hospitality made Xi Yan feel uncomfortable. Leaning back, he whispered in Xi Ran's ear, "Is Aunt Yu always like this? She's so hospitable. I'm not used to it."
Xi Ran reassured her, "You'll get used to it. Aunt Yu is a very nice person. Just relax and don't be so reserved."
After listening to his sister's words, Xi Yan gradually relaxed and started chatting with Aunt Yu.
Xi Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Aunt Yu is really talkative. She has knowledge in all aspects, and she will accommodate your topic. She can chat with anyone."
Wow!
A cow!
I envy those talkative people. He should learn from them. His sister always complains that he's a quiet person.
Jiang Yige is so lucky to have such a mother. I'm so envious.
Jiang Yige has such a good personality, it must be because he has such a good mother, unlike him and his sister who were stuck with such bad parents...
Both he and his sister developed low self-esteem, and they hope to gradually break free from this burden in the future.
The three chatted happily in the living room. When Chu Jiangning heard from Aunt Zhang that Sister Xi Ran had arrived, she skipped and hopped downstairs.
"Sister Xi Ran, you're here! Why didn't you come to see me? I missed you so much. You haven't come to see me in so long."
Just as Chu Jiangning wanted to hug Xi Ran to ease her longing, she glanced at the handsome man staring at her from the side, and her heart started pounding.
Her usual wildness vanished instantly. "Haha... who is this handsome guy? I've never seen him before!"
Xi Ran smiled and said, "This is the brother Xi Yan that I often mention to you?"
"Isn't that just a little kid? He looks younger than me in the photo. It's not what you expected, is it? Where did you find a handsome guy to impersonate him?"
