Chapter 349 - Who Wronged Who? (1/2)

He pulled up at the door of the Xia household with a screech. He had not come here for a long time, but it didn't mean that he would cut ties with the Xia family. After all, this was Xia Yixuan's home. He got out of the car and stared coldly at the door which was shut tightly. He walked forward and placed his finger on the doorbell, pressing down hard.

He waited for a long time before the door was opened by the housekeeper who had worked for the Xia household for several years. ”Oh, Mr. Chu, you're here?” The housekeeper was taken aback. After he had divorced the eldest daughter, he seldom came; but why was he here now? Could he have found out?

The housekeeper's face changed as if she was hiding something.

”What can I do for you, Mr. Chu? My lady and sir are both not home today. Let me know, and I'll pass them the message.” She said, trying to hide something but only making things worse. Her secrecy, her shiftiness, and her guilt were all taken in by Chu Lui's eyes.

”I just want to go in and visit my ex-in-laws. Is there any problem?” The hard voice, the cool tone, and the unquestioning tone made the housekeeper's expression more unnatural.

”No, no, of course not,” the nurse said, waving her hands in terror; but her eyes peeked inside constantly as if there was an unspeakable secret especially to Chu Lui.

Chu Lui walked inside with big steps, and just when the housekeeper wanted to call out, he threw her a warning glare.

”You can try, but one pip from you, and who knows whether you'll be able to stay here. Me or the Xia family, I'm sure you know very clearly who is stronger?” Chu Lui paused, and the cold words tumbled out of his mouth.

The housekeeper could only shut her mouth after hearing that and dared not say a word. She followed behind Chu Lui and rubbed her hands together constantly. Sir, you should explain yourself. Some things could never be hidden forever, just like how no walls could keep the wind out. It's just been a few days, but he had already shown up.

This man already knew, but it shouldn't be a big issue. He might even be ecstatic.

Meanwhile, Xia Mingzheng was flipping through the newspaper in his hand, peeking occasionally at his wife. She was still in that state, making him worry; but he was helpless.

He put down the newspaper, stood up, and sat down in front of Shen Yijun. He took her hands and said, ”Yijun. Don't be like this. We'll find Ruoxin and then treat her well, okay? We'll give her back all the things we owe her. Ruoxin is a good child. She'd forgive us.” He said that, but the bleakness beyond his words was unchangeable. Who knew if those words would come true?

Some could be forgiven, but some were unforgivable.

Could they still make up for a love that was 20 years late? Even if they were willing to make amends, it didn't mean that she would accept these meaningless apologies.

Shen Yijun's lifeless eyes brightened slightly.

”Really? You really think Xinxin would come back? And forgive me?” She clutched Xia Mingzheng's shirt all of a sudden with so much force that she almost ripped it apart. Xia Mingzheng could only nod his head and force a smile. It was all his fault, but in the end, it was Shen Yijun and her daughter who paid for the price.
