Chapter 386 - Seek Justice (2/2)
[As long I dare resist him, he will take action against my family. I must not risk it. I must not burden my parents. Maybe I could run away from Peijing, but, I know I can’t escape. They’re always monitoring me… I have no freedom at all.]
…
Xu Xiyan closed the diary, her face was wet with tears. Her mother had filled the diary with her sorrowful past of blood and tears. She couldn’t bear to look at it anymore.
She knew that even in the most desperate moments, her mother had never thought about taking her own life for real. Because of F, she had chosen to live on in humiliation.
No wonder that when she was a child, her mother had told her not to tell her maternal grandfather and the rest of his family about Xu Jinshan’s domestic abuse. It was because she wanted to protect F.
What her mother didn’t realize was her suffering in silence to please everyone would cost her her life in the end.
Right now, what Xu Xiyan really wanted to know was: since F was her biological father, where was he now?
Xu Xiyan could not figure out the mystery in a short time, so she put the diary into her bag and planned to investigate later.
She got out of the attic and went downstairs. There was a touch of ruthlessness and fierceness in her eyes as she made her way towards Xu Jinshan’s study.
After learning about her mother’s death, and that the direct murderer was Xu Jinshan, the only thing Xu Xiyan wanted to do was to seek justice for her mother.
Even if Xu Jinshan did not ask her to come and talk to him today, she would still look for him herself.
In the study, after Xu Jinshan closed the door, Xu Xiyan asked, “What do you want to say?”
She remained calm and avoided acting rashly. She wanted to find out why Xu Jinshan was looking for her.
Xu Jinshan smiled amiably as he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette. He took a puff, then said, “Yanyan, don’t look all cautious at me like that. I’m your father. Why would I harm you?”
Xu Xiyan sneered, “Why, I’ve never seen such a father who specialized in putting his daughter in trouble. Last time when I was in the attic, you’re the one who knocked me unconscious and delivered me onto someone else’s bed. I’m impressed, Xu Jinshan, that you would do anything for your own career.”
Xu Jinshan tapped ash off his cigarette, not feeling the slightest shame at all. “I did it for your own good. Don’t you know how many people want to win over President Huo? Just think, if you manage to be with President Huo, wouldn’t you become famous overnight? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to work hard as a double anymore?”
