22 A Father’s Selfishness (2/2)
So, Xia Ruoxin's life was this worthless. With the slap, it had shattered all expectations and sentiments between the mother and daughter. She no longer knew why she had made her way back to the family mansion. Did she come to accept her mother's slap? Or to clear up things?
Xia Yixuan died. And Xia Ruoxin? She was also dead.
She turned around and left without the feeling of yearning. She might never return to that place again. Her own mother said she did not have a daughter like her. This place was never her home to begin with, anyway.
Shen Yijun had a big shock. She looked at her hand and only then did she realize what she just did. She felt she had lost something—something permanent.
Xia Mingzheng struggled as he looked at the doorway until the silhouette vanished from his sight. Finally, he walked over to his wife and held her.

Shen Yijun, on the other hand, thought the man was clueless. That the only reason Xia Ruoxin asked that it was Yixuan's idea to drive that day. To say that Xia Ruoxin caused Yixuan's death, one might as well put the blame on the father.
But he was selfish. Chu Lui had already married Xia Ruoxin. She had taken everything away from Yixuan. And he couldn't let Yixuan lose Chu Lui.
