At that time, it didn’t cross Xie Xuning’s mind that more than 10 years ago, someone had woven a web of lies to separate him from his wife.
“Mom, don’t worry. I am not the kind of father who will prevent my daughter from being happy,” Xie Xuning assured. “I really hope that Tianxin is happy. As long as my daughter is happy, I can do anything.”
Grandmother nodded, and her eyes were filled with tears.
She couldn’t tell why she had easily accepted Xie Xuning as her son-in-law compared to when Lu Jijun claimed the same. She just couldn’t reconcile with it.
Now that she had accepted Xie Xuning, she felt that the heavens were guiding her to the light.
Just as the two were talking, Yan Ge arrived with the brocade box containing the military medal.
When he saw Xie Xuning, he stood firm and saluted.
“Greetings, Commander.”
Xie Xuning acknowledged him. Then he saw the brocade box in Yan Ge’s hands and asked, “What is that?”
“Oh, the boss asked me to bring it over.”
“Give it to me,” Xie Xuning ordered as he stretched out his hand.
Yan Ge hesitated at first, but still handed the box to Xie Xuning.
Xie Xuning opened the box and brought out the military medal.
This was a top military medal.
A series of serial numbers were on the back of the military medal. Xie Xuning knew what these numbers represented better than anyone else.
Ye Linlang thought he was dead because of this token.
No… Why would she think that?
Someone must have told her.
Xie Xuning carefully examined the medal. His fingers gently rubbed its surface. It wasn’t fake.
“What did you find?” Xie Xuning inquired, looking at Yan Ge expectantly.
Yan Ge was a little embarrassed and said, “I found no issuance record of this military medal. It seems to have never existed.”
Xie Xuning nodded. He knew.
Whoever was behind all this, they wouldn’t stop at nothing.
Everything was carefully planned up to the smallest detail. He fully understood his character, and he believed that his wife Linlang wasn’t the kind of woman who would take her own life for love.
Furthermore, she also had a daughter and a mother to take care of. How could she commit suicide and abandon them?
Xie Xuning returned the military medal to the brocade box. “Leave it to me.”
“Commander, that won’t do,” Yan Ge refused politely. “The boss asked me to hand it to him personally.”
Xie Xuning smiled. “Surprisingly, Xiao Cang is quite authoritative. Nice job, you rascal.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Commander.”
Yan Ge touched his head, and only then did he greet Ye Tianxin’s grandmother. “Old Madam, how are you doing recently? I see that you look quite well. You have to take good care of your body.”
“Thank you for your concern. I’m fine.”
Grandmother and Yan Ge chatted away. She had always remembered Yan Ge taking care of her and Tianxin on the train.
“If you have time, you and Xiao Cang must come to my place for a meal. I will prepare delicious dishes.”
“Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Yan Ge replied.
“Why stand on ceremony with me?” Grandmother sincerely treated Yan Ge as a junior. “Once we move back home, I will have you come and share a meal with us.”
Upon the mention of moving, Grandmother recently thought about how she might have to go back to Jiameng Town.
The house in Jiameng Town had been repaired, so she had to go back and take a look.
She would find an auspicious day to move in, then invite neighbors and relatives for a small get-together. Everyone would gather around, and it would be lively.
