Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 555 - 548: Concentrated Outbreak (Part 7)

Grandma was startled by Xia Lian’s appearance, staring blankly at her. She had never seen Xia Lian like this before, even though Xia Lian had lost her temper in the past, it was never like this.

At this moment, Xia Lian was like a lunatic, with fierce eyes gleaming coldly, giving the impression that she might brandish a knife and kill at any moment.

"Xia Lian... what’s wrong with you... talk to mom, don’t be like this..."

Grandma thought that maybe Cheng Gang had done something to wrong Xia Lian this time, otherwise she wouldn’t be so agitated, to the point of seeming insane.

"Talk about what?!" Xia Lian roared, "In your heart, it’s always Bai Yiran, always Bai Yiran! When have you ever cared about Cheng Shishi! When?!"

Grandma felt wronged, "Xia Lian, what you’re saying is heartless! Shishi is my granddaughter! How could I not care for her!"

"You’re talking nonsense!" Xia Lian was clearly in a state of hysteria, "When I just gave birth to Shishi, you found out she was a girl, took one look and left! Left me alone in the hospital, not caring at all! Tell me! Is that what a grandmother should do? Is it?!"

Grandma’s body jerked, her face turned rigid, eyes filled with sorrow. She knew that this incident had brought Xia Lian significant pain back then, but she had tried her best to make up for it, treating her like her own daughter. Furthermore, Cheng Shishi was also raised by her. It was just that Bai Yiran had no mother and her father was the way he was, so she showed him more compassion. But that didn’t mean she didn’t love Cheng Shishi!

Grandma looked at Xia Lian, unable to speak, not because she couldn’t, but because she didn’t want to. She thought that over the past twenty years, she had been able to heal Xia Lian’s wounded heart. But she didn’t expect that to this day, Xia Lian still resented her...

"Alas..." Grandma sighed heavily, feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She slowly stood up, ready to leave. With Xia Lian like this, she couldn’t stay in this house, "I shouldn’t have come today... Enough, don’t say hurtful things anymore. I’m leaving..."

Grandma looked at Xia Lian, not understanding what had turned the once kind and generous woman into this.

"You should take care of yourself, don’t make yourself like a ghost. Even if not for yourself, think of Shishi..."

"Don’t mention Shishi again! Shishi is already dead!" Xia Lian blurted out.

At this moment, Grandma, who had reached the door, suddenly stopped in her tracks, somewhat unable to believe what she had just heard. She turned to look at Xia Lian, whose face was contorted, "What did you say?"

"I said Shishi is dead! My daughter, your granddaughter! The sole heir of the Cheng Family! Cheng Shishi is dead! Dead!"

Xia Lian was already in a state of frenzy. At this moment, she had long forgotten the promise she made to Cheng Gang, to not tell Grandma about Cheng Shishi’s death.

At this time, she couldn’t care about anything else. She just wanted to vent her emotions, just wanted the whole world to know that her daughter was dead. She didn’t want to hear words from the old lady suggesting that Shishi was inferior to Bai Yiran after Shishi’s death!

She couldn’t bear it!

Bang!

As if a string in Grandma’s body suddenly snapped.

She trembled as she walked back to the sofa, mechanically shaking her head, her eyes staring at Xia Lian, "You’re lying, you’re trying to fool this old lady, aren’t you? How could Cheng Shishi die? How could my granddaughter die?"

Xia Lian said nothing more, her bloodshot eyes fixed intensely on Grandma, a strange smile appearing on her lips.

Grandma’s eyes shifted away from Xia Lian, dazed and unfocused, finally landing empty on the water glass on the table. Trembling, she reached out, picked up the glass, wanting to take a sip of water.

But just as her lips touched the clear water, with a puff, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the entire glass red.
