Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 762: Pain in Your Heart 2

Xia Yinian took the Old Master’s arm and leaned against the back of the chair.

There were many things she wanted to say, but she didn’t know where to start.

The girl chose not to speak, and the Old Master didn’t force her.

Even he himself felt a bit muddled, unable to figure out exactly what it was.

The two sat together in silence.

A few minutes later, Feng Rui stepped forward and approached.

"Old Master, Mr. Xia is looking for you."

"Let him come here," the Old Master waved his hand.

Xia Liyuan had a certain affection for Nian Nian, which the Old Master could still discern.

"Dad?" Xia Yinian turned her head to meet the elder’s gaze, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Mmh, it’s Li Yuan," the Old Master nodded. "Speaking of which, Nian Nian’s Mom..."

"I’ve been without a mother since I was young, and even my father is not my biological one, but he has still been good to me," Xia Yinian pursed her lips and softly replied.

"Nian Nian is also a child adopted by the Xia Family?" The Old Master frowned, this was indeed something he hadn’t expected.

"Yes, actually I only found out not too long ago," Xia Yinian nodded, apparently having accepted this fact already.

Looking at the girl beside him, the Old Master’s frown deepened.

Nian Nian is also an adopted child of the Xia Family, and she resembles his Jing Chu so much... but the DNA has already been tested... Alas.

It seems like fate is always playing tricks; why couldn’t it be Nian Nian...

"Old Master, Mr. Xia has arrived," Feng Rui’s voice interrupted the Old Master’s train of thought.

"Mmh." He lifted his head to look at the speaker and waved his hand.

Feng Rui got the message and left.

"Dad," Xia Yinian stood up and softly called out.

"Old Master," Xia Liyuan greeted with polite nodding.

"Mmh, sit down and talk," the Old Master said in a low voice.

"Dad, if you have something to discuss with Grandpa, then I’ll head back first," Xia Yinian continued.

Xia Liyuan gave her a look and finally nodded.

"Your dad has something to discuss with Grandpa; you go ahead."

"Mmh." Xia Yinian nodded and then turned back for one more glance at the Old Master, "Grandpa, Nian Nian will head off first; you two take your time to talk." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Go ahead," the Old Master gestured with his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Yinian had left the small pavilion.

Now, only the Old Master and Xia Liyuan were left in the pavilion.

Before Xia Liyuan even started to speak, the Old Master’s voice already rang out.

"Li Yuan, I heard from Nian Nian that she is not your biological daughter, what’s the story behind this?"

Meeting the Old Master’s gaze, Xia Liyuan was somewhat stunned, but he quickly composed himself.

"Yes, Nian Nian is indeed my adopted daughter."

"Nian Nian is adopted by you? What’s the story behind this?" the Old Master continued to inquire.

Xia Liyuan didn’t understand why he was so fixated on the fact that Nian Nian had been adopted, could it really be as he had imagined?

"Nian Nian is an abandoned baby. I felt pity for her and brought her home," Xia Liyuan responded softly.

He didn’t speak of Rourou’s affairs, still holding some worries in his heart.

The Old Master felt his reaction might have been too intense; the Xia Family took in Chuxue, taking in another child like Nian Nian wasn’t inappropriate either.

Perhaps it was that... Xia Liyuan had some physical ailment, so he didn’t even have a biological daughter.

It wasn’t his place to pry too much into other people’s affairs, but just now, hearing that Nian Nian was not the Xia Family’s biological child, he felt inexplicably agitated.

There was a feeling of joy, but after all, why should he be joyful?

Nian Nian is an orphan, already pitiable enough.
