The little guy completely trusted Gu Junzhu.
Once he had Gu Junzhu’s assurance, he finally felt relieved. He let go of Gu Junzhu’s hand, took Lingyue’s hand, and left the living room with Xie Jinfei, glancing back every few steps.
After the two kids left, Xie Yunlin explained Xiao Shumiao’s background in detail.
He emphasized that Xiao Shumiao was not Ye Xingbei’s biological son, and that the Jiang Family didn’t want to take care of Beibei. They framed Beibei, deliberately slandering her with harm breaches for their own profit.
Having heard Xie Yunlin’s recount, Senior Master Xie was enraged, cursing: “Animals! Animals! Old and young, all the people from the Jiang Family are nothing but animals!”
Senior Madame Xie, holding Ye Xingbei’s hand, was in tears. “Your grandfather is right, those people from the Jiang Family are all animals! How hard could it be to raise a child? They would rather adopt someone else’s child than raise their own granddaughter or niece, causing my granddaughter to suffer so much. They’re worse than animals!”
Seeing Senior Madame Xie holding Ye Xingbei’s hand, her face full of compassion, Xie Motong felt an acid taste in her mouth, and she couldn’t help but murmur quietly: “Who knows if it’s true or not?”
“You shut up!” Without waiting for Gu Junzhu to interject, Senior Master Xie burst out: “Xie Motong, Beibei is your aunt’s only daughter. She’s had such a difficult time outside, and now she’s finally home, which is a joyous occasion. Why are you sounding so mean? Where did Beibei offend you? How has she been in your way?”
Years ago, Senior Master Xie had an accidental mishap in Jiang City.
Jiang Zhengwei saved Senior Master Xie’s life.
Senior Master Xie asked him what he wanted in return, and Jiang Zhengwei said that he had fallen in love with his younger daughter and wanted to marry her.
His younger daughter didn’t agree at first.
After all, at that time, he was just taking his wife and daughter to visit old friends in Jiang City. They were not planning to stay there for long.
Jiang City and Beijing were thousands of miles apart, and his younger daughter didn’t want to marry that far away.
Being a proud man all his life, he didn’t want to owe anyone anything, let alone a life debt.
Moreover, he guaranteed openly that as long as Jiang Zhengwei asked for it and he could afford it, he would satisfy Jiang Zhengwei no matter what.
After all, Jiang Zhengwei had saved his life.
No matter how valuable things were, they didn’t compare to his own life.
Little did he know, what Jiang Zhengwei wanted wasn’t a thing, but his most cherished younger daughter.
Although he couldn’t bear to part with her, he had boasted so much that he could only agree.
His younger daughter didn’t agree, and she cried all the time.
Back then, unlike now with emphasis on free love, especially for families like theirs, parental consent and matchmaker’s words were still considered important.
Not wanting to go back on his word to Jiang Zhengwei, he forced his younger daughter to agree.
In the days leading up to the wedding, his younger daughter had cried her eyes out.
But his younger daughter was very obedient, understanding, and considerate since childhood.
Although she was very reluctant, she still complied with his arrangements and married Jiang Zhengwei.
Thankfully, Jiang Zhengwei was a good man and treated his younger daughter kindly after marriage.
His younger daughter and Jiang Zhengwei began to love each other after marriage, their feelings deepening over time, eventually becoming a very loving husband and wife.
Seeing his younger daughter’s happiness, he had let go of half his worries.
But he had let go too early.
Jiang Zhengwei died in a car accident, and his younger daughter died with him.
Upon receiving the news of his younger daughter’s death, he locked himself in his study, neither eating nor drinking for a whole day.
He believed that his younger daughter had died for him..
