Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 281: A Precious Bond
Xia Yinian looked at Xia Liyuan, feeling a sourness in her heart, and said nothing.
Xia Liyuan knew that his daughter was harboring resentment toward him, but he was powerless to change the situation.
"Nian Nian, Daddy has some words he wants to say to you, could you..."
Xia Yinian had originally wanted to refuse, but in the end, her heart softened.
"Daddy, would you like to come sit in my room?"
...
The father and daughter of the Xia Family had a talk, and naturally outsiders would not intrude.
Gu Beicheng returned to the Feng Residence; the Du Family people were taken away by Chi He, their fates unknown to anyone.
Gu Lingqian was fairly good-tempered and even made arrangements for the Xia Family people to stay.
As for Xia Liyuan, he followed Xia Yinian upstairs.
"Daddy, I understand what you mean, but I have my own thoughts, and I will not give up my position to Xia Chuxue."
She knew that Chuxue was the apple of her father’s eye, and she also knew that her father hadn’t treated her poorly over the years.
The only problem was that he was too obedient, heeding Grandpa’s words and the words of his woman, He Shuya.
In summary, Daddy was just a puppet in the Xia Family, without any real power, and his status was even lower than He Shuya’s.
"Nian Nian, are you holding a grudge against Daddy?" Xia Liyuan sat in the chair.
When Xia Yinian turned back, she saw his slight sigh.
He was only in his forties, yet the temple hairs were already graying.
The whole person looked somewhat old, said to be the son of Grandpa, but looked more like an uncle.
Daddy wasn’t old, but his mindset had always been old.
Suddenly, Xia Yinian felt a wave of sourness in her heart; in fact, her father had also been unhappy in the Xia Family, always unhappy.
"But the fact that you like Chuxue more than me is true." She truly didn’t want to be sentimental.
If everyone treated her poorly and didn’t care for her, that would be fine, but why did Daddy still show her kindness occasionally?
"Nian Nian, you’ve really misunderstood Daddy. Daddy loves your older sister, but he also loves you!"
Xia Liyuan’s heart also felt a surge of pain, and his eyes warmed: "About tonight’s incidents, if Daddy says I truly had no prior knowledge, would you believe me?"
Xia Yinian didn’t speak, and Xia Liyuan sighed again, feeling very uncomfortable.
His daughter, she was no longer willing to trust him.
It was actually quite understandable; he had always been inactive, often knew when his daughter was wronged, yet still didn’t speak out, didn’t stand up for justice on her behalf.
Her lack of trust in him was quite a normal reaction, wasn’t it?
Xia Liyuan just felt a deep sourness and pain in his heart.
"I’m sorry..."
"Daddy, I believe you." Xia Yinian rubbed the corner of her eyes, fiercely wiping away the sourness.
She looked at the night scenery outside the window, avoiding looking at Xia Liyuan’s face: "It’s okay, Daddy. It’s not your fault."
The forgiveness from Xia Yinian made Xia Liyuan feel even more ashamed: "It’s because Daddy is useless..."
"But at least, I know Daddy won’t harm me." That was enough.
In the scarce affection in Xia Yinian’s life, even such affection, which was also almost crushed by authority, was at least still affection.
Precious.
He himself was already living so unhappily, what else could she expect?
"Daddy, the people of the Gu Family have been good to me..." Although as she said this, she didn’t believe it herself.
But Xia Yinian still smiled: "Ling Qian treats me well, and... Uncle, Uncle is also very good to me, you don’t need to worry."
"Daddy sees it." Xia Liyuan finally, cautiously, took her hand: "Daddy is not capable, can’t give you much, but Ling Qian, that boy is really quite good."
