Ling Hui could not see her mother’s expression, but from her voice, she could hear that she was angry and in pain!
It was the voice of a woman who had been hurt and betrayed.
Ling Hui suddenly felt a little cold and she wrapped her arms around herself.
She could not believe that her father would betray and hurt her mother!
In her memories, her parents were loving.
His father’s personality was gentle, wise and kind. Back then, when her mother needed a kidney transplant, her father had been anxious and searched around the world to find a suitable kidney for her mother.
Even when her mother was at her weakest, he had never betrayed her.
Why had he done something to hurt her later on?
Ling Hui had grown up under the love and care of her parents and her family values were very strong. She only wanted her parents to be well and did not want them to get a divorce.
“Dai Lang, you look like a gentleman on the surface. How could you be so disgusting in private? If not for the fact that you never left me when I was sick, I would have exposed your scandal!”
“If you had told me before we got married that you had a woman you loved deeply, I wouldn’t hate you so much. But on the surface, you acted like you were very good to me, making me fall deeply in love with you. In the end…”
“You wanted to elope with her as a middle-aged man. The two of you even agreed to die together. What did you take me for?”
Ling Hui heard her mother’s suppressed and painful cries. She covered her mouth and widened her beautiful eyes. Apart from disbelief, there was even more disbelief!
Her father wanted to elope with that woman and even wanted to die with her?
Goodness!
This was simply unimaginable!
“Are you sad that that woman is gone? Let me tell you, Dai Lang, after the divorce, I’ll leave with Huihui. I can’t let her meet that woman’s son again!”
Ling Hui’s long eyelashes fluttered.
What did she mean by not letting her meet that woman’s son?
Did she know her father’s lover’s son?
“If I didn’t hear Mengmeng calling Ling Hui and mentioning Tang Xi, I wouldn’t know that her son is still involved with my daughter. Dai Lang, if you still have a conscience, let us go!”
Dai Lang stared at Mother Dai, whose eyes were red and her expression pained. He furrowed his eyebrows tightly. “Ling… Ling Ying, I… I…” Dai Lang’s thin body trembled violently from agitation. He called out Mother Dai’s name and reached out to hold her hand, but she took a step back.” Don’t touch me with your dirty hands again. ”
“Hear-hear me out…” His lips were moving up and down, wanting to say something, but he could not say a complete sentence. He was so anxious that the vein on his forehead was throbbing and cold sweat kept appearing.
Mother Dai did not want to say anything to him anymore. She walked to the window and looked outside with red eyes. Thinking about how he had almost died because of his love for another woman, her tears could not help but flow out.
Ling Hui, who was standing outside the bedroom door, was as stiff as a stone statue.
There was a bone-chilling coldness in her heart and even her body seemed to have lost its temperature.
Her skin turned cold.
Her legs were stiff and numb as she walked downstairs.
She fell onto the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling.
She thought that she had heard it wrongly, but her mother’s words kept replaying in her mind.
The woman her father had wanted to elope with was Tang Xi’s mother!
This was too unacceptable!
It was no wonder that when her aunt had reminded her not to be close and to keep a distance from Tang Xi when she had first seen him.
There was also Tang Xi’s father’s strange and complicated gaze when he saw her.
Ling Hui seemed to have understood why Tang Xi neglected her when he was hospitalized!
His father had told him everything.
Like her, he could not accept that his mother was related to her father.
So, he kept his distance from her.
The two of them were people who cared about their family relationships. How could they be together after what had happened in the previous generation?
Ling Hui leaned back on the sofa and two drops of tears appeared in her reddened eyes.
She sat on the sofa for a long time and returned to her room without drinking any water.
Taking out her phone, she sent a message to Tang Xi. “I won’t cause you any more trouble. Thank you for what you’ve done for me. I hope you can be happy!”
After sending the message, she deleted Tang Xi’s number.
They were both adults and understood each other’s situation.
Becoming a stranger was the best choice between them.
…
Her father was still unable to walk and could not speak properly. Ling Hui could not communicate with him.
Her mother was in a hurry to get a divorce and Ling Hui told her what she had heard that night.
Mother Dai told Ling Hui that she had not maligned Dai Lang. He had almost abandoned them and was not a qualified husband or father.
Ling Hui understood her mother’s feelings, but with her father in this state, she could not agree to the divorce.
Under Ling Hui’s persuasion, Mother Dai temporarily gave up on the idea of getting a divorce.
But she had made a decision. After Dai Lang recovered, she would definitely divorce him.
The afternoon sun shone through the glass windows. Ling Hui squatted beside Dai Lang, who was sunbathing in a wheelchair, and massaged his slightly shriveled arm.
Dai Lang looked at Ling Hui and opened his mouth. He squeezed out two words with difficulty. “Believe… Dad…”
Ling Hui was slightly surprised when she saw the tears in Dai Lang’s eyes.
Her father was not a weak person. He had experienced a lot under her grandfather’s strict discipline since he was young.
He never revealed his emotions.
However, when he said those words to her with much difficulty, it was so emotional.
“Dad, what do you want me to believe?”
“I, I, I…” Dai Lang was so anxious that he wanted to say something, but his tongue seemed to be tied. He was so anxious that he was sweating.
Ling Hui held Dai Lang’s hand. “Dad, don’t be anxious. It won’t be too late to tell me after you’ve recovered.”
“No, don’t go…”
Ling Hui nodded. “I’ll keep Mommy here. When you’re better, we’ll have a family meeting.”
In the past, whenever there were conflicts in the family, they had always resolved them through family meetings.
Dai Lang nodded with reddened eyes.
…
Dai Xuan had invited a professional nutritionist and rehabilitation trainer over.
Ling Hui spent all her energy on her work and parents.
She and Gu Meng started a studio together.
As soon as the studio opened, they received a lot of orders.
Ling Hui returned to the high society circle. She brought Gu Meng to familiarize herself with the circle and the two of them started their career.
That day, Ling Hui returned home and watched the television with Father Dai for a while.
A news broadcast caught her and her father’s attention.
There would be an auction in Italy in two days. One of the items on the auction was the jade hairpin that Dai Lang had given Ling Ying back then. That had been left behind by her grandmother.
After her father was poisoned and her mother had been framed as the murderer, the jade hairpin had been in Ling Hui’s hands.
But after she had been kidnapped, the jade hairpin had been taken away by the kidnappers. All these years, she had been searching for it but to no avail!
