As he spoke, a trace of guilt appeared on his face.
The elevator reached the first floor and the door opened. Xi Xia and Lin Tianwan walked toward them in unison.
“One day, she’ll understand,” Xi Xia said as she walked.”We’re still related by blood. This can’t be changed.”
Lin Tianwan’s expression softened a little after hearing her words.
“She has never lacked anything since she was young. There’s nothing wrong with her being stubborn and arrogant. It’s all because her mother and I spoiled her.” Lin Yiqian’s father’s tone carried a hint of doting.
There was no emotion in these words, it was a sigh from the heart.
Xi Xia smiled.”That’s why you shouldn’t hold it against her. She has the Gu family backing her up. You should trust that she can handle the company’s matters.”
Lin Tianwan’s emotions were triggered by Lin Yiqian’s words.”Isn’t she just relying on Gu nianshen now?”
Lin Tianwan snorted and continued,””She didn’t even think about it. If it weren’t for the fact that her grandfather and the old master of the Gu family had a little bit of affection, and if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve always been kind to the old master of the Gu family, would the old master of the Lin family have chosen her as his daughter-in-law?”
A cold glint flashed across Xi Xia’s eyes when she heard that.
It was so fast that no one could catch it in time.
It was because of this that she had lost nianshen.
“She’s acting all high and mighty now because of the Gu family and nianshen.” Lin Yiqian smirked.
“I was hoping that she could help me. I was hoping that she could at least take into account that she’s a member of the Lin family. At a critical moment, she can clear her mind about family and country enmity. I didn’t expect …”
Lin Tianwan hesitated as he realized that he might have said too much. After all, Lin Yiqian was still his daughter.
However, he was not on guard against Xi Xia. He paused for a moment before he continued,””When her uncle and the others called her an ingrate, I still protected her. Now, it seems that she’s no different from an ingrate. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have called her back and sent her to the Gu family even if I had to make the company go bankrupt.”
After he finished speaking angrily, he suddenly thought of something.”I heard that the Gu family wanted to choose you as their daughter-in-law.”
Xi Xia’s expression darkened. She lowered her head and a bitter smile appeared on her face.””I’m lucky to get it, but if I don ‘t, it’s my fate. ”
After saying that, she raised her head to look at Lin Tianwan and gave him a generous smile.
“You’re such a broad-minded child. You’re still thinking of helping little Yi even in this state. It must have been hard on you,” Lin Tianwan praised her guiltily.
Xi Xia shook her head.”Yi and I have been friends for many years. It’s my duty to help her.”
Lin Tianwan sighed helplessly.”Sigh, but she’s too arrogant. I’ve troubled you.”
“Uncle, don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”
Xi Xia shook her head gently before consoling Lin Tianwan,”but, uncle, please don’t be angry. If I’m not even bothered by her, you shouldn’t either.”
Even as a friend and an outsider, she was still so forgiving and tolerant of Lin Yiqian.
Lin Tianwan felt a little embarrassed and smiled.””I was indeed a little too hot-tempered just now.”
“However, it’s not good for the relationship between you and your daughter to be so stiff.”
Xi Xia lowered her head as if she was worried about Lin Tianwan.
Lin Tianwan sighed.”That’s right, but she doesn’t even want to see me now.”
He looked up at the sky with a long face.
