Liang Suqin came out of her memories and saw Xue Wanyu who appeared beside her at some unknown time.
She held her hand, looked at her with red eyes and said, "Mom, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned Dad's illness to Xiaoxi, let alone any panacea. Otherwise, she wouldn't have entered the entertainment industry, and there wouldn't have been any of the things that happened later. It's all my fault. Dad is right to be angry with me. Please don't argue with Dad because of me."
Liang Suqin frowned and habitually wanted to say, "That was Xie Xihe's own choice, what does it have to do with you?" But when the words came to her lips, she was suddenly stunned again.
It suddenly occurred to her...
That's the same.
Every time she looked unhappy because Mr. Xie favored Xie Xihe, Xue Wanyu would come over to smooth things over.
However, this only made her even more dissatisfied and displeased with Xie Xihe. She couldn't help but sneer and ridicule him, and then she and the old man fell into a new round of conflict...
Thinking of this, Liang Suqin couldn't help but look at Xue Wanyu again, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, but when she saw the deep guilt in her eyes, she couldn't help but pressed her eyebrows.
Alas, it’s true that the older you get, the more you tend to have wild thoughts. What are you thinking about?
Liang Suqin came back to her senses and looked at Old Master Xie again. She said calmly, "I do trust Wanyu, but that's because she's filial and virtuous enough, always considering me and the Xie family. If I don't trust her, how could I trust a daughter who doesn't even call me mom when she sees me?"
"Your precious daughter, has she ever thought of me as her mother?" She reached out and took Xue Wanyu's hand, saying as a matter of course, "Although Wanyu is not my daughter, she is more like my daughter than my daughter. Why shouldn't I be partial to her?!"
Even though he was already disappointed enough with her, Xie Bowen couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He looked at her deeply and said, "Has she ever treated you as her mother? Do you dare to say this again with your conscience?"
Liang Suqin's face suddenly froze.
Old Master Xie chuckled again. "A child who called out for you first, a child who crawled to the door every day to pick you up, and a child who was only three years old and insisted on staying with you even when you were sick and refused to leave."
"Even after you gradually distanced yourself from her, she still knew to bring you food when you were not feeling well, and she would also talk in her sleep and call for her mother."
He turned his gaze to Xue Wanyu's hand. The woman's wrist was slender, and against the backdrop of a sapphire bracelet, it looked even whiter and more delicate.
Xie Bowen looked at her but couldn't help but feel distressed. He looked at Liang Suqin again and said, "Even the birthday present I gave her, she obviously loved it, but she gave it to you just because of your casual words."
"But what about you? How did you treat her kindness?" Xie Bowen looked at her coldly, "You gave the gift to your good daughter-in-law right in front of her!"
This happened eight or nine years ago, but even today, he could not forget the look of astonishment that flashed across Xie Xihe's eyes, followed by a long silence.
Since then, she rarely took the initiative to get close to Liang Suqin. Also since then, he just wanted to be better to her, better and better, to make up for the maternal love she had never received.
But some things cannot be made up for just by saying so. His little Xihe will never have a complete childhood.
Old Master Xie thought about it, and the anger in his heart surged again, and even his voice became uncontrollably higher. "A child like this, do you dare to say with a clear conscience that she has never treated you as her mother for a single day?!"
"Liang Suqin, people are all made of flesh and blood. Xiaoxi will be sad and upset too. Why do you expect her to be close to you without any grudges after being pushed away and treated coldly by you time and time again?"
"Why do you do that?!"
These were the words Xie Xihe heard when he just arrived at the door of the box, and his hand, which was about to push the door open, stopped.
But in just two seconds, she slowly pushed the door open and walked in, walking towards Mr. Xie while calling softly, "Dad."
Mr. Xie came back to his senses and quickly turned his head to wipe his face. Then he looked at her and said with a smile, "Why are you so late? Is everything going well at school?"
"It went smoothly." Xie Xihe nodded and explained, "The signal over there was blocked, so I didn't receive any messages. I was listening to the class and forgot the time."
Mr. Xie smiled and was about to say, "It's okay, it's just a meal, it's not as important as studying", but before he could open his mouth, a "ouch" sound was heard.
It was Xue's mother's voice.
She smiled at Xie Xihe and nodded in agreement, "So you forgot about time because of studying. That's understandable. For children your age, studying is of course the most important thing."
"But I remember that you, Xihe, are also from Elite High School, and in the same class as Mingzhu. How come Mingzhu got out of school before 5 o'clock, but you stayed here until this hour?"
Turning to look at Xie Mingzhu, he deliberately said, "Mingzhu, your class still talks about differential treatment. Is this the treatment Xihe gets for top students?"
Xie Mingzhu's expression suddenly froze, and she was speechless for a moment. She could only try to wink at her grandmother: Stop talking!
Unfortunately, Xue's mother wasn't smart enough to understand her eyes, and thought she was asking her to add more fuel to the fire. She immediately said, "That's not right. I remember Xihe hasn't been to school much since she entered the entertainment industry. Is she going back to school?"
"Oh! I see!" Xue's mother clapped her hands in sudden enlightenment and said, "You haven't been to school for too long and can't keep up with your studies. The teachers are giving you extra lessons, right, Xihe?"
