C42 Failure to Live up to Expectations
Along with Uncle Li, Xia Qingning returned to the Xia family for the first time in four years.
Xia Qingning endured the fatigue and pain in her body as she looked around the room.
Because of the fall of the Xia family, the servants had all left. Only Uncle Li was left here. The entire mansion was cold and desolate.
The house had not changed much. There were only some minor changes. Xia Qingning looked at each place and felt very familiar. Even the air was filled with the smell of home.
This was a place that had appeared countless times in her dreams and was also the place she missed the most. Her eyes moved in this house, wanting to engrave this most precious scene into her mind.
Uncle Li sat down on the sofa. Xia Qingning and Jiang Yiye told him everything that had happened. His wrinkled face was full of tears. His heart ached as he held Xia Qingning's hand. "Miss," he said. For so many years you've been alone, and the last time the Lord heard about you, Don't look at how he was unfriendly to you in the past. In fact, he loves you from the bottom of his heart. "
Xia Qingning's tears fell like rain. She also tightly held Uncle Li's hand. There were thousands of words of apology in her heart, but at this moment, she was choking so hard that she could not say a single word.
"When Master comes back later, he will definitely be very pleased to see you." Butler Li paused when he said this. He looked at the woman who had been mercilessly ravaged by the disease in front of him. Suddenly, the pain in his heart increased several times. "Qingning," he said. You're such a sweet girl, but how can God be so cruel to you?
As Uncle Li's voice fell, the door of the house opened.
Xia Guo Hui walked in with a tired expression. It might be the relationship between father and daughter. Xia Guohui recognized Xia Qingning who was sitting in the hall at a glance. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared straight at the pale-faced woman. His body could not help but tremble.
Xia Qingning bit her lips tightly. When she noticed the tall and mighty figure in her memory, her young and optimistic father had white hair on his temples. After he had aged a lot, her trembling lips trembled for a long time before she finally spoke with great difficulty, "Father."
This was a great word, Father.
Once upon a time, Xia Qingning had many nightmares where she reunited with her family. She could calmly call out "Dad, Mom.
She could no longer hold back her tears. They covered her entire face. A pain that felt like his bones were about to break came from his body. Xia Qingning ignored all the pain. She looked at the older man in front of her without moving her eyes, word by word. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
After Uncle Li repeated what had happened to Xia Wenxu, Xia Wenxu's originally surprised face became angry. His trembling body didn't move at all. He looked at Xia Qingning with hatred in his eyes. "Xia Qingning," he said. Why did you come back? Even if you didn't die the last time you jumped off the building, why are you still going back to the Xia family now? Now that the Xia's had fallen into such a state, Are you happy? Are you satisfied? "
Xia Wenxu's words were like daggers stabbing into Xia Qingning's left chest.
He cut her flesh and pierced her heart. The pain in her heart surged out of her wound.
It was her fault. Xia Qingning knew that everything was her fault.
The guilt in her heart made her father, who wanted to get angry, come over and crush her.
That way, she wouldn't feel pain anymore.
That way, her heart might be a little more comfortable...
Xia Wenxu's face was red due to his excitement. His hands were trembling. Tears appeared in his eyes as he looked at Xia Qingning. "Xia Qingning, I don't care what illness you have now. I don't care what happened to you. All of this is your choice. You deserve it. Ever since you left Xia family for that man Hsu Mochen, Ever since Shufen passed away due to your illness, I, Xia Guohui, no longer have a daughter like you! "
Every word entered Xia Qingning's ears. Xia Qingning, who was paralyzed by the pain in her wheelchair, suddenly woke up after her father said "Shufen passed away because of your illness.
Her mother passed away?
Xia Qingning only felt her mind go blank. Her body was light and she did not feel anything. She only knew that she could not completely organize any words at this moment.
When she looked up and saw a black and white photo on a cabinet in the corner of the wall, the pain that numbed her quickly woke up.
They magnified thousands of times in her heart and rushed to all the sensory nerves in her body. Like sharp and sharp blunt instruments, they cut every nerve, every blood vessel, and spilled out of her skin, giving rise to an intense pain.
This kind of pain made Xia Qingning's face turn from pale to dark green and then turned pale again.
Xia Qingning looked at the black and white picture of her mother smiling kindly. A surge of glaring blood rolled up in her stomach and directly sprayed out from her mouth uncontrollably.
Fresh blood fell onto the dark carpet. The trace of red at the corner of her mouth slid down and soaked her beige sweater. Xia Qingning coughed because of the pain.
Jiang Yiye immediately squatted on Xia Qingning's back and patted her gently. "Qingning, you can't be so emotional right now."
