What happened back then was his fault.
He admitted that he was wrong about that, but that did not mean that Ye Tianxin could accuse him like that when she was only a mere junior.
“That was your mother’s fault. Your mother knew exactly what kind of family the Xie family is. She was a girl from a small town. How did she think she could be part of our family? Did she really deserve it?”
Even so, Xie Qian would never admit his fault to a junior.
What’s more, he wouldn’t admit that he did something wrong at all.
He didn’t even want to meet Ye Linlang.
He was so busy that he couldn’t spare any time to meet her.
“You are wrong. It wasn’t that she didn’t deserve me. In reality, I don’t deserve her.”
Xie Xuning thought he would be full of rage at this point, but that was when he realized that he had no feelings for his biological father at all.
Xie Xuning said calmly and seriously, “When I was with Linlang, she didn’t even know that I was from the Xie family in the capital. She thought that I was just an ordinary soldier who owned nothing. Despite that, she didn’t despise me and we were very happy together. She loves me for who I am, and not my family background…”
Xie Qian revealed a cold smirk after Xie Xuning finished speaking.
“So what are you trying to say? That you don’t like the Xie family? That you actually loathe the Xie family? Xie Xuning, you must understand that you could never reach such a high status at your age without the Xie family. You’re nothing without the Xie family.”
Xie Xuning clenched his fists tightly.
His eyes were full of fury.
The Xie family…
Some people cared about having both power and status, but he didn’t want them at all!
“You are wrong. If there were no Xie family, I would still have Linlang, my daughter, and a family.”
Xie Qian felt his heart racing in his chest. It was almost as if his heartbeat would be out of control.
“What now? Do you want to kill me now to release your anger?”
Xie Qian grabbed out a paper cutter from the drawer and placed it in front of Xie Xuning.
“I’ll stand here perfectly still. Come and kill me to avenge your woman if you so desire.”
Xie Xuning stared at the cold paper cutter. Had it not been for their connection, he wouldn’t have hesitated to end him!
Ye Tianxin took hold of the paper cutter one step ahead of him. She rushed over to Xie Qian as she grasped the paper cutter tightly.
She shut her eyes and pushed the paper cutter in forcefully. When the paper cutter reached the air, she silently opened her eyes.
“It’s quite unfortunate that I have a terrible relative like you. I never expected to have the blood of a dirty person like you inside of me.”
Xie Xuning grabbed the paper cutter from Ye Tianxin’s hands. He said to her, “Tianxin, don’t contaminate your hands over this kind of person. We will definitely find your mother.”
Xie Xuning grabbed Ye Tianxin’s hand to leave Xie Qian’s study together.
Just as the two of them just walked to the door, Xie Qian sat on the chair and took out a dated newspaper.
“You can’t find her because Ye Linlang is dead.”
Xie Qian’s words made Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning turn around at the same time. They asked in unison, “What do you mean?”
“This was a missing person’s notice that year.”
Xie Qian shoved the missing person notice in front of Xie Xuning and Ye Tianxin.
Xie Xuning picked up the yellowed newspaper with trembling hands.
There was a missing person notice in the newspaper. The missing person notice stated that there was a traffic accident at an intersection during a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day.
