Xie Xuning took a deep breath. He couldn’t care less about his thighs bleeding.
He just wanted to know the full truth.
“If it wasn’t you, was it one of your people?”
Xie Qian shook his head and replied, “No. Ye Linlang was already dead during that time. Why should we bother to do that?”
“Dad, let’s go.”
Ye Tianxin stared at the injury on Xie Xuning’s thigh in fear and didn’t know what to do.
Her hands were shaking and she didn’t dare do anything about that paper cutter.
Xie Xuning looked down and glanced at the wound. He slowly pulled out the paper cutter that was inserted in his thigh, causing the blood to instantly spurt out.
The blood splashed on the marble floor tiles like rain.
“Dad, stay still for a moment.”
Ye Tianxin immediately tore off a piece of clothing from her suit and wrapped it around Xie Xuning’s wound tightly.
Xie Xuning touched his daughter’s forehead gently.
“Tianxin, this doesn’t hurt at all.”
Ye Tianxin’s tears kept running down her cheek. She said, “Nonsense, how could it not hurt? You’ve lost so much blood already!”
Right now, Xie Xuning could not feel the pain in his thigh. All he could feel was the pain in his heart.
His father was the one who made him so miserable.
His father’s decision had brought misfortune to his family of three that lasted nearly two decades, perhaps even more than that.
What about Tianxin’s previous life? Didn’t Xie Qian also ruin that?
“I will post a piece of news in the newspaper tomorrow to cut off all relations with you. From now on, we will be complete strangers. I wish you a long life…”
Ye Tianxin tried to bandage the wound partially for Xie Xuning. Her fingers kept shaking as she was wrapping the cloth strips. It was impossible for her to completely cover up Xie Xuning’s wound.
“Dad, let’s go.”
Ye Tianxin tried to help Xie Xuning stand up and he nodded.
This was the house of the Xie family, where he had lived for over 20 years.
Now, it felt colder and stranger than ever.
Everything felt cold and foreign to him now. It was so painful that it even hurt to breathe.
Ye Tianxin helped Xie Xuning into the car and carefully fastened the seat belt for him.
Then she took out her mobile phone and called Qie Wang.
“Uncle Qie, my dad is injured. Can you come to Langyuan for a while?”
“Sure.”
As soon as Ye Tianxin and her father returned to Langyuan, Qie Wang arrived.
When Qie Wang saw the wound on Xie Xuning’s thigh, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What happened? How did you get injured so badly?”
Xie Xuning was silent.
He didn’t know how to tell Qie Wang about what he had experienced tonight.
“Uncle Qie, please don’t ask any questions now. Can you help treat my dad’s wound first?”
Langyuan was already equipped with medical equipment. As Qie Wang cautiously treated the wound, his mind was full of questions.
With Xie Xuning’s amount of skills and defense, no ordinary person could stick a knife into Xie Xuning’s thigh.
“The wound is so deep. Xie Xuning, don’t you want this leg anymore?”
Xie Xuning leaned on the back of the sofa and said weakly, “I don’t even want to live anymore.”
It truly was all meaningless to him.
Qie Wang stared at Ye Tianxin silently and followed Xie Xuning’s words. “You go ahead and do that. After you die, Tianxin won’t have anyone to stand up for her if she ever gets bullies. It turns out you don’t care for Tianxin that much anyway, right? After all… you have never actually raised Tianxin properly. You got such a good daughter that you never earned…”
