Xie Zian had already walked to the edge of the stairs and stepped onto the stairs.
Hearing this, he turned around abruptly, looking at Xie Sidu with a face full of shock.
In his childhood memories, his parents were always very loving. It's just that in recent years his father has been busy with business and rarely comes home from abroad, but their relationship has always been deep.
I never imagined that Xie Sidu would say such a thing.
He was momentarily flustered, and felt a sense of tension and fear of losing what he had lost. He even subconsciously wanted to see Xie Li, feeling that Xie Li's arrival was the cause of so many conflicts in the Xie family.
In just a moment, he realized what was happening and quickly looked away.
No, Xie Li can't be blamed. He witnessed the whole thing today. Xie Li is innocent. It was the Huo and Ding families who went too far.
"Zi'an." Xie Sidu seemed to sense Xie Zi'an's thoughts and suddenly spoke up, "You should know more about my relationship with your mother than anyone else."
His father's gaze was always so deep and meaningful. Xie Zi'an recalled that when he was brought into Xie Sidu's study a few years ago, the other man looked at him in the same way.
From that day on, he began to familiarize him with the various businesses of Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group, telling him that he was a boy and had to take responsibility for himself, and not always rely on his mother and sister.
Xie Zian's voice was somewhat hoarse: "Yes, I understand, Dad."
Xie Sidu's instructions, in the end, were simply because he was worried about Ding Huizhu's education.
Throughout his childhood, the Ding family repeatedly made demands on the Xie family. Ding Huizhu, relying on Xie Sidu's love, was extremely domineering and forced Xie Lin and his mother to leave the Xie family. Indeed, there were many conflicts between the two families.
Ding Huizhu and Xie Ziyuan placed excessive trust in the Ding family, often disregarding the interests of the Xie family.
If the Xie family were truly controlled by this mother and daughter, it's easy to imagine that, given Ding Ruoxu and Old Madam Ding's greed, the Xie family would likely become entirely Ding's.
He used to be unwilling to think too much about it, always thinking that by avoiding the Ding family, he wouldn't see their twisted greed and desires. But tonight's events dealt him a painful blow.
He couldn't help but wonder, if Old Master Xie hadn't been saved by Xie Li, how would tonight's outcome have turned out?
The legitimate eldest daughter of the Xie family could only attend the coming-of-age ceremony of an adopted daughter; the head of the Xie family was forced to bow down to an adopted daughter.
To anyone else, it seemed like the Xie family was about to undergo a major upheaval.
Xie Zian's fingers suddenly clenched, his knuckles turning white, the thought of the consequences making him feel both frustrated and afraid.
Fortunately, Old Master Xie is safe and sound. Today's banquet is the Xie family's home turf, not the Huo or Ding families'.
The young boy seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.
Xie Sidu looked at his son with some relief and said gently, "Don't think too much, go to sleep."
Xie Li stopped worrying about it and obediently went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. She was exhausted after a busy day!
——
The Xie family slept soundly without any disturbance, but no one in the Huo family could sleep peacefully.
Since her family established connections in the capital, Madam Huo's temper has grown increasingly volatile in recent years, and she has become quite the undisputed leader in the Huo family.
This is the first time I've suffered such a huge loss. I've lost all face, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'm about to explode with anger.
The eldest branch of the Huo family made a few sarcastic remarks, which led to the second wife of Huo turning on them, smashing things, and storming out. The second wife was left alone in the Huo family villa, sulking.
After finally waiting for her son Huo Yuntang to return, Madam Huo the Second hurriedly went up to her son to complain.
