Chapter 114 They were a couple that everyone on campus envied.
Xie Yuan gripped the handle and flung open the door.
The people outside were completely unprepared.
I was startled out of nowhere.
"Dad, why are you so startled? You scared me!" Xie Siyan said, still shaken.
Xie Yuan's expression suddenly relaxed.
He sighed: "Si Yan, come in first and we'll talk."
Xie Siyan nodded, stepped into the study, and closed the door behind him.
What immediately came into view were the unfriendly gazes of Grandpa and my eldest brother.
Why does he look at me with a hint of disdain?
"Grandpa, what did I do wrong? Why are you looking at me like this..." His tone was somewhat innocent.
Xie Tingyan glanced at him.
"Xie Siyan, who told you to walk so stealthily and silently, like a thief? We thought someone was eavesdropping outside."
Xie Siyan spread his hands innocently.
"Brother, this is just the sound of normal footsteps, okay? You guys are just too nervous. How about next time I come, I'll bring a megaphone and announce beforehand, 'Xie Siyan is here, everyone make way,' so you can be prepared."
Xie Zhongguo interrupted, "You two stop bickering. There's more to it than that. Let's get down to business first. Si Yan, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
Xie Siyan's expression immediately turned serious.
“Grandpa, Yuheng just called me and said that Mr. Feng has already been to the villa and used acupuncture to clear the blood stasis in Niannian’s head. I estimate that Niannian will gradually regain her memory in a few days.”
Upon hearing that acupuncture would be administered, Xie Zhongguo began to fuss and glare.
"What? That guy surnamed Feng actually dared to stab my granddaughter."
Xie Yuan quickly reassured him, "Dad, please don't get agitated. I discussed this with Mr. Feng beforehand. All we need to do is insert a needle into the acupoint on your arm. Mr. Feng is renowned in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, so his skills will certainly be flawless."
Xie Zhongguo's expression then improved.
"He's smart enough not to use our Yao Yao as an experiment."
Xie Yuan felt that his father had aged and was acting like a child.
However, he was always filial and didn't argue with him; he let the old man say whatever he wanted at home.
He sighed inwardly.
Then she looked at Xie Tingyan, frowned and said, "Tingyan, what did you mean by what you just asked me?"
The old man couldn't help but look at his grandson with suspicion.
The instigator of the disappearance.
If Shen Qingbei hadn't deliberately taken Yaoyao away, Yaoyao wouldn't have been stranded outside for so many years and suffered so much hardship in that family.
That was never meant to be her life.
His granddaughter, Xie, should have grown up under the doting care of her parents and brothers.
Some people have lives that everyone envies.
Xie Tingyan's jawline was taut, and he exuded an unprecedented seriousness.
Looking directly at her father, she said, "Dad, the night I went to ambush Shen Qingbei, he told me in person that the reason he kidnapped Yaoyao was to take revenge on the Xie family. When I pressed him for details, he confidently told me to go home and ask you."
He paused for a moment: "Dad, back then we were all very puzzled. Shen Qingbei just because of a quarrel with Si Yan, he took Yao Yao away. It didn't make sense at all. Even today, I still think it's too far-fetched."
"So can you give me an answer?"
The words were spoken.
Everyone's expression changed.
He looked at Xie Yuan in astonishment.
Upon hearing these words, Xie Yuan's expression of astonishment was no less than that of the others.
His usual gentle demeanor had almost completely vanished.
"Shen Qingbei said he abducted Yaoyao to take revenge on the Xie family?" His voice was dry and hoarse as he struggled to speak.
Xie Tingyan nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, he asked me to ask you instead of Grandpa. I think he probably wants to get revenge on you, Dad. What exactly happened sixteen years ago that made Shen Qingbei hate you so much?"
He had analyzed it with Gu Yuheng before.
There is a mysterious figure behind Shen Qingbei.
That person most likely fabricated a lie and fooled Shen Qingbei.
He used Shen Qingbei as a pawn to do things for him in the open, while he hid behind the scenes, plotting everything.
However, these days, he has been thinking about what lies that person had fabricated.
That's why Shen Qingbei was so convinced of its authenticity.
And he harbored such deep hatred for the Xie family.
The interaction between the Xie and Shen families was a normal exchange between wealthy families, and their relationship was quite good when Shen Li's father was still in power.
There has never been any resentment between us.
Moreover, Shen Qingbei was only twelve years old at that time, a teenager.
We absolutely cannot afford to make enemies with the Xie family.
No matter what, Xie Tingyan couldn't understand why Shen Qingbei was targeting the Xie family.
Until that night.
Shen Qingbei's personal statement that he hated the Xie family confirmed his and Gu Yuheng's previous suspicions.
This also resolved his doubts.
Shen Qingbei's revenge was not against the Xie family, but against Xie Yuan, his father.
Xie Siyan frowned: "Brother, what did you say? Shen Qingbei hates Father to the bone? You can't say such things carelessly. Father and Shen Qingbei have never crossed paths before, so where does the hatred come from?"
"It is more believable that you say Shen Qingbei hates Shen Li to the bone for ignoring him since childhood."
For a moment, he felt that his elder brother had gone mad.
Why would someone suddenly say something like that?
Xie Tingyan glanced at him sideways: "Of course I want to believe my father, but the expression on Shen Qingbei's face at that time didn't seem like an act at all. I still remember his eyes at that time, like a demon that walked out of hell. However, his left face was disfigured, pitted and uneven, and he looked no different from a ghost."
After Xie Yuan's initial shock...
By this time, I had calmed down.
He is a cardiologist, and his long career has cultivated his exceptionally stable temperament.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he calmly said, "Tingyan, I can tell you for sure that I have never done anything wrong, and I would never hold a grudge against a child like Shen Qingbei. I don't know why he asked you to ask me, but one thing is certain: someone may have had ulterior motives and said something to Shen Qingbei that caused him to misunderstand me and do these things."
Xie Tingyan looked at his father: "Dad, think about it. Is there anything suspicious in the past, or any connection between you and someone in the Shen family that would make people make a fuss about you?"
Xie Yuan smiled helplessly: "Don't you know my personality? I'm only focused on academic research. Apart from your mother, I rarely communicate with others, so how could I have close ties with the Shen family?"
He and Lin Wan were university alumni and met in the student union.
The two hit it off immediately.
He has a quiet, reserved personality and doesn't talk much.
Lin Wan was like a little sun, bright and cheerful. He fell in love with her at first sight, and they quickly became a couple, the envy of everyone on campus.
So, besides work, Xie Yuan...
He talks the most to his wife.
