After get off work in the evening, Zhong Yuxiu and Professor Ding left the school together and parted ways at the South Gate. They stopped outside the school for a while and did not see Yan Rushan, but saw an old acquaintance - Wan Xuetang.
Wan Xuetang stepped forward, carrying a lot of bags and small bags, and said, "Yuxiu, you're dismissed."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo hurried out from the dark. As soon as they got close, they heard Zhong Yuxiu speak coldly and stopped in their tracks.
"Mr. Wan, congratulations on your redress." The original owner was dead. To her, both the Wan family and the original owner's biological parents, the Zhong family, were strangers. "I have things to do and need to get home quickly, so I'll leave first."
Step past him and go forward.
"etc."
Zhong Yuxiu stopped and looked back at him, "Mr. Wan, is there anything else?"
Wan Xuetang's eyes softened, filled with apology and guilt. "Yuxiu, can you forgive Dad...me?"
"There is no need to forgive or not forgive. Mr. Wan raised Wan Yuxiu, and Wan Yuxiu owes you the grace of raising her. Between your biological daughter and your adopted daughter, you chose your biological daughter, which is understandable. When Wan Yuxiu was renamed Zhong Yuxiu and sent to the countryside, she repaid your gratitude for raising her, and from now on, you two owe each other nothing." Yuxiu was unmoved, and now she feels guilty. When the original owner died, did this adoptive father regret letting her go to the countryside?
The Wan family's wealth was donated, but the foundation was still there, the network of contacts still existed, and he had a backer; under the circumstances at the time, it was not difficult to arrange jobs for his two daughters, but he chose to stand by and watch.
"Yuxiu, I know it's too late to say anything now. Daddy hurt you too deeply."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Mr. Wan, I told you we're even. Please stop pretending to be my father. Thank you."
Wan Xuetang's cheeks froze. He obviously didn't expect her to refuse so bluntly and decisively.
"Yuxiu, can we find a place to talk?"
"That's not necessary, Mr. Wan." Zhong Yuxiu's smile remained unchanged. "If you have anything to say, just say it here. My time is precious, so please don't waste it."
Wan Xuetang's lips moved, his brows furrowed with worry. After a moment, he spoke, "Yuxiu, is our father-daughter relationship of more than ten years really going to be like this? I felt guilty towards Yutong before, so I treated you like this. I also didn't want you to end up like that, but..." The situation at the time did not allow him to compromise.
Wan Yutong was very emotional and hostile to his adopted daughter because he kept her. He thought his adopted daughter was sensible and well-behaved, so he would tolerate her a little. He didn't expect Wan Yutong to become more and more excessive, and in the end he had no bottom line at all, and would even do things to destroy people's reputation.
"No buts. Everyone must take responsibility for the choices they make. If your choice is right, it will be beneficial to you. If your choice is wrong, that is the price you should pay." The original owner chose to believe in her adoptive father and brother, and the price she paid was her life.
"I am living a good life now. Please don't disturb me. Just be happy on your own. Isn't that good enough?" Why bother yourself with troubles?
Zhong Yuxiu turned away with a cold face, leaving Wan Xuetang staring blankly at her back; until he could no longer see her figure, he walked back dejectedly.
When he returned to the Wan family, Wan Yuning, the only son of the Wan family, came forward and took the things from his hand.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see Yuxiu?" Wan Yuning helped him sit down in the lobby and patted his back. "Yuxiu doesn't want to see you?"
Wan Xuetang was silent for a long time, and when Wan Yuning thought he wouldn't say anything, he spoke, "I would rather not have seen him."
At least there is still a thought.
"It's normal that Yuxiu doesn't forgive us. What we did back then was indeed not kind." After saying this, Wan Yuning's brows dimmed.
It's not just unkind, it can be called heartless!
The father and son looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Wan Yuning asked, "Dad, what did Yuxiu say?"
"Neither of you owes me anything. Let's live our own lives from now on." Wan Xuetang sighed deeply. There is no medicine for regret in the world; mistreating his adopted daughter was the thing he regretted most.
"Don't be sad. Now we're all back. There's plenty of time left. We can always find a chance to make it up to Yuxiu." Yuxiu's refusal to accept is one thing, but whether they do it or not is another. "Dad, how about I give it a try? In the past, Yuxiu relied on me the most."
Wan Xuetang glanced at his son and sighed again, "It's useless."
"How do you know if it works if you don't try?" Wan Yuning asked. Wan Xuetang was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "You might as well give it a try. Please ask Yuxiu for forgiveness."
Wan Xuetang was lost in memories. After his adopted daughter went to the countryside, Wan Yutong had become increasingly flamboyant. He was flamboyant in every way, even getting his hair permed and dabbling in the finer details of his food and clothing. He also associated closely with members of the Revolutionary Committee, offending many. Most despicable of all, he was a married woman; this led to retaliatory actions against the Wan family. Because of Wan Yutong, the Wan family had been given a handle to persecute.
That would have been fine, but what he never expected was that Wan Yutong would take advantage of the situation at the critical moment and quickly cut off ties with the Wan family.
"I asked you to inquire about Wan Yutong. Have you found any results?" Wan Xuetang let go of his worries and looked up at his son.
Wan Yuning's expression changed, becoming extremely ugly. "I heard that she's married."
"What kind of man did you marry?"
"It's the eldest son of the Feng family who has a complicated relationship with her." Wan Yuning was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but she had to tell the truth. She gritted her teeth and said, "After we went to the countryside, she broke up the family and married into the Feng family."
“Bang!”
Wan Xuetang slammed the table and stood up, "You bastard!"
Shameless!
"Dad, don't say Wan Yutong is our Wan family's daughter in the future. Our Wan family only has one daughter, Yuxiu, and I only have one sister, Yuxiu." When Wan Yutong first came back, she was extreme, stubborn, and jealous. He and his father spoiled and persuaded her, and spoiled her to the point that she could no longer distinguish between good and evil and did not know what was good or bad.
Instead, he neglected Yuxiu, which led to the current situation.
The Wan family has strict family education and strict requirements for their children's upbringing; they really cannot accept a girl who has no bottom line, lower line, or principles.
They were taken away by mistake when they were young. Their father was wrong, and he was also wrong. They tried their best to teach Wan Yutong, but still couldn't bring her back. They tried their best.
Wan Xuetang was breathing heavily, feeling dizzy, and suddenly sat down on the chair.
"Dad?" Wan Yuning hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Dad, are you okay?"
Wan Xuetang tried to wave his hands, biting his back teeth, and said, "It's okay."
"You said you were fine, but you can't breathe smoothly. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital." Wan Yuning squatted down beside him, put his hands around his neck, carried him on his back and walked away.
"Don't go, I need to rest for a while." Wan Xuetang raised his hand and patted his son, but his hand was weak and powerless.
"No, your health is more important." Wan Yuning carried him out without hesitation and carried him all the way to the hospital, panting heavily from exhaustion. When they passed a female nurse, he stopped and said, "Nurse, my father is not feeling well. Which doctor do you want to see?"
The nurse looked at him, then at the man who was having trouble breathing. Her heart skipped a beat. She led the way while asking about his condition, "Does your father have a heart disease?"
