A hint of pain could be heard in Xie Xuning’s voice. Nobody could ever understand his feelings towards Ye Linlang.
They did not know that there were only two kinds of women in the world to Xie Xuning: Ye Linlang, and the others.
They also did not realize that other women were no different from dust to him because he already had the best wife in the world.
Ye Linlang meant the world to him.
If he couldn’t be with her, he’d rather have been alone than put up with any other woman.
To him, every other woman was inferior to his Linlang.
Qie Wang said, “I am very sorry, Xuning. “I was too naive back then, I’m responsible for how things have turned out today. If I didn’t tell anyone about that before going to Jiameng in the first place, things might not have turned out this way.”
After the incident, Qie Wang kept on thinking about everything that happened back then.
He could not deny the fact that he was partially responsible for what Xie Xuning had gone through.
“It’s already over now. Even if you weren’t the one, there would be someone else.”
Xie Xuning laughed light-heartedly.
Qie Wang had a bad feeling about Xie Xuning’s bright smile. A chill traveled down his spine as he thought, ‘Xie Xuning wouldn’t do anything else, would he?’
“Oh, by the way, do you know what happened to Yiyan and Xingqing?”
Qie Wang sensed that something was wrong with his eldest son’s mood recently. He tried asking Yiyan several times, but he remained silent.
Xie Xuning frowned and said, “Xie Xingqing was the one who brought the pair of mother and daughter to the banquet previously.”
“She… Why would she do that?” Qie Wang was startled.
“I guess it was an act of hatred towards me. My father wanted me to adopt her at first, but I refused. Maybe that’s why she hates me…”
Xie Xuning told Qie Wang about everything Xie Xingqing did.
Qie Wang was stunned after listening to what he said. He did not expect a woman like Xie Xingqing to be quite a schemer. His son made a complete fool of himself because of her.
“As the saying goes, women have the most toxic thoughts. She’s the perfect example of that.”
It was no surprise that Xie Xuning desperately wanted to kill her.
Even Qie Wang felt like killing Xie Xingqing to vent his anger.
What the heck was going on?
She had the audacity to push the blame onto someone else.
“Brothers, let’s go out for a drink.”
Xie Xuning and Qie Wang went back to drink at Lang Garden. At their age, they disliked going to the same noisy bars as youngsters did.
When their ages were combined, the two of them were almost a century old.
Drinking quietly was what men of their age do.

…
“Xie, the parturient woman is awake!”
Xie Yi felt a little tired. She rested her head on the desk for a while before walking to the parturient woman’s bed and asking, “Are you feeling better now?”
The parturient woman was stunned for a moment and spoke in her language. The translator then explained what the woman said to Xie Yi.
“She’s asking about the lady who performed the surgery for her.”
While performing checks on the parturient woman, Xie Yi said, “She left. Your body is recovering quite well.”
Xie Yi carefully examined the parturient woman’s C-section again. It was a vertical cut that was stitched up nicely.
If it were not for Xie Yi’s memory, she would have suspected that she was the one who stitched up the wound.
“Xie…”
Xie Yi felt a stabbing pain in her head as she thought about the stitches on the wound.
