Chapter 93 - I Can’t Afford Your Generosity (2/2)

Xu Xiyan took Fang Xiaocheng’s arm and began to walk away.

Xu Jinshan suddenly spoke again, “Yanyan, even if you don’t want to see me, you should at least ask about your grandfather. He’s dying. Don’t you want to go back and see him?”

“…”

Xu Xiyan stopped abruptly, her heart froze as if someone was clutching it tightly.

Grandpa…

Grandpa is dying?

Xu Xiyan turned sharply at Xu Jinshan, staring straight into his eyes. “What are you talking about? What happened to grandpa?”

If Xu Xiyan still had any love for the Xu family, it would be for her grandfather, the grandfather who’d been good to her since she was a child.

Xu Jinshan knew he could convince Xu Xiyan by mentioning her grandfather. He sighed, deliberately exaggerating the situation.

“Your grandfather has become very ill recently. He’s been calling your name. I’m afraid that if you don’t go back soon, you may not get to see him at all.”

Xu Xiyan grew worried as she listened to him, taking his words as truth without a second thought. “I understand. I’ll go back and see grandpa in a few days.”

Xu Jinshan felt relieved after Xu Xiyan had given her word. He continued his act, appearing eager to help her. “Yanyan, where are you two going? I can drive you both there.”

Xu Xiyan didn’t want to sit in his car, and came up with an excuse to refuse him.

“No, thanks. I’m going shopping with Orange,” she said as she took Fang Xiaocheng’s arm, walking off in another direction.

The two girls hailed a taxi and left the studio grounds together.

On the way in the taxi, Fang Xiaocheng asked, “Yanyan, are you sure you want to go back to the Xu family? What if your father abuses you again?”
