C41 Long Time No See

The spring rain was still gently blowing, and although it was raining, the temperature was not low, so it did not feel cold.

Xia Qingning was wrapped in a sweater and a hat covered her bald head. Her eyes were glazed as she looked outside the window and sat on the back seat.

Jiang Yiye packed up his things immediately after he finished the operation and drove towards the Xia family.

When the scene in front of them gradually became familiar, Xia Qingning's astringent red eyes started to tear up again.

This year was already the beginning of the fourth year. After such a long time, she was finally going home.

After marrying Hsu Mochen, Xia Qingning went back to the Xia family a few times but was chased out by her father in anger. They were too disappointed with Xia Qingning, so they did not want to see her again. After that, they persisted a few times until their mother suddenly had a heart attack because of her. Xia Qingning did not dare to appear in front of them again.

In the days to come, whenever she thought about home, she would drive home alone and stop on the small road that was about to enter the house. She carefully looked at the gate of the house.

Occasionally, she would see her father drive his mother out. She was so timid and afraid that she would see him in a hurry.

After a long time, when she came back again, she found that even the buildings on the road back home had changed a lot.

It had been a long time. It had really been a long time.

When the car stopped in front of the Xia residence, Xia Qingning became nervous.

After Jiang Yiye parked the car, he arranged the wheelchair and carefully carried Xia Qingning out of the car.

Xia Qingning raised her head to look at the familiar mansion. A sour feeling spread through the small blood vessels until it entered her heart and filled her heart.

Everything in front of her was still the same as before. It was just that the two orchid trees standing in front of the door seemed to be much taller than she remembered.

In the spring rain, white flowers bloomed. Along with the drizzle, there was a pleasant fragrance.

Jiang Yiye held an umbrella for Xia Qingning with one hand and rang the doorbell with the other.

Following the long and clear doorbell ring, Xia Qingning's heart could not help but tremble.

When she returned to the Xia family once again, Xia Qingning had already shouldered a myriad of sins. She thought of no matter how much her parents hated her, no matter what they wanted to do to her. She wanted to see them when she was alive. She knew that her atonement came late, and she knew that she didn't have much time left to make up for it. But if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to close her eyes in peace when she died.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all.

Jiang Yiye rang the doorbell again.

After a while, when the rain became heavier, the sound of the lock on the thick metal door being unlocked could be heard.

Xia Qingning looked up with guilt in her heart. What entered her eyes was the frowning face of the butler of Xia family, Uncle Li.

"Sir, may I ask who you are looking for? Is there anything I can help you with?" Uncle Li looked very busy and was panting when he spoke. He looked at Jiang Yiye and asked with a frown.

"Uncle Li." Xia Qingning looked at Uncle Li in front of her. His hair was a little white and he was a little older than before. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and choked.

Xia Qingning's voice had just faded when Housekeeper Li shifted his gaze to her face.

He looked seriously at the thin woman in front of him, whose face was pale and without any color. When he recognized that the woman in the wheelchair was Xia Qingning, his wrinkled face was full of disbelief and shock.

"Miss, Miss?" Ever since Xia Qingning jumped off the building, everyone in Xia family thought that Xia Qingning was dead. However, at this moment, there was another woman who said that it was Xia Qingning. Housekeeper Li looked very panicked.

However, Housekeeper Li had been working for the Xia family for more than 30 years. He saw Xia Qingning grow up and naturally recognized her voice. He bent down and looked carefully at the skinny woman in front of him. Her facial features were slightly sunken. Except for her voice, Housekeeper Li really did not dare to recognize this woman as the once exquisite and healthy daughter of the Xia family.

Xia Qingning could no longer control the tears in her eyes. She nodded heavily at the old man. "Uncle Li, it's really me, Qingning!"

"Is it really Miss?" Housekeeper Li looked at her in disbelief. When he saw the mole on Xia Qingning's left eye, his eyes filled with surprise suddenly burst into tears. "Miss, you didn't jump off the building, you already..."

"How did you become so thin?"

"Are you sick? Why are you so pale?"

"What happened? Why are there so many scars on your face?" asked Wang Yao.

Housekeeper Li was very excited. She did not know what had happened to Xia Qingning. He only knew that he was sure that the woman in front of him was his daughter, Xia Qingning. Seeing her like this made his heart ache.

Facing Uncle Li's continuous questions, Xia Qingning's tears were already streaming down her face. She was so choked that she could not make a sound.

Jiang Yiye patted Xia Qingning's shoulder from behind. He anxiously asked Butler Li, "Uncle Li, it's a long story. It's not convenient for us to go in and chat."
