"At that time, when I went to search at the bottom of the tree, I didn't see that child at all." Mr. Xie gritted his teeth and said distressedly: "Your mother said it was all because of my lack of vigilance, otherwise how could they be hunted down by the enemy."

"Your mother is right. I was sorry for your parents and your family back then."

Mr. Xie didn't want to mention this matter at all, even if he did, he would pick up the less important ones and talk about it.

"So, you haven't seen him?"

Mr. Xie nodded and said, "When I went looking for it, there was only one pit left. I didn't dare to tell your parents. I only said that it was moved to the Xie family's ancestral grave."

Children are not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb, but the Clothes Tomb is an exception.

Because Xie's parents were too sad, they washed their faces with tears every day. Xie's mother cried out her eyes early, and she died of illness when she was protecting Xie Yuan when she was three years old.

I didn't know it was a tomb until I died.

And Xie Yuan didn't ask about this matter these years, until today, Mr. Xie brought it up again.

"So you just said that the child is still alive?"

Mr. Xie shook his head and said, "That is the primeval forest. How could a weak baby survive unless it was eaten by wolves, tigers, and leopards."

Although there are no such beasts in the primeval forest, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, all covered with poison.

How could the child survive.

Xie Yuan did not answer this sentence, but lowered his eyes and said: "The person Liu Xueyi knows is Ah Heng. He looks exactly like me. If there is no accident, the person she knows is my younger brother."

"How is it possible?" Mr. Xie said in surprise, "Didn't that woman have a mental problem? Maybe she was talking nonsense, you can believe it if she is insane."

"Xie Yuan, I know you want to be with Qin Mian, so you don't want to be responsible for that woman, but as a man, you shouldn't..."

Mr. Xie said earnestly: "Anyway, I don't care about the matter between you and Qin Mian. Don't lie to me, that child can't be alive."

"If he was alive, why didn't he come back to see us for so many years, and why didn't he look for Xuanxuan and Liu Xueyi?"

Anyway, this thing is too bizarre.

Mr. Xie has already labeled Xie Yuan as a liar: "Don't say so much, if he is really alive, you should let him come to see me, otherwise I won't believe it."

"The person hasn't been found yet, and he has probably been killed since he hasn't shown up for so many years."

"Killed?"

Mr. Xie narrowed his eyes in surprise.

In just a few minutes, he experienced the loss and found it, and then lost it again. This feeling is really not good.

Even though he didn't believe that the child was still alive, deep down...

"Old man, I will check this matter for you."

"Yeah." Old Master Xie frowned and said, "Anyway, don't fool me, I am also the Patriarch of the Xie family after all, I'm not so easy to deceive, I want to meet Liu Xueyi some other day, you bring her here."

"What did you see her for?" Xie Yuan disagreed.

Mr. Xie is not at all uneasy and kind.

In case Liu Xueyi was irritated by asking something, the loss outweighs the gain.

Mr. Xie assured: "I'm sure I won't mess around, I just want to see what she is like, and I also want to ask what kind of person Ah Heng is."

Few of the old man's words were true, and Xie Yuan was not sure that he would follow suit.

He didn't agree.

He just turned around and said, "The food should be ready."

As soon as he reached the door, he paused, looked at Mr. Xie and said, "I don't want to care about Xie Moting's affairs. She is your adopted daughter. You can regulate her behavior yourself, otherwise—"

Speaking of this, Xie Yuan's tone became more cold: "Otherwise, if I do anything, you will be at your own risk."

The corner of Mr. Xie's mouth twitched, and the feeling of being threatened by his grandchildren was very subtle: "Yuan'er, when you grow up, I don't need to intervene in many things."

"You have never cared about me since you were a child." Xie Yuan blocked his words, "In your eyes, Xie Moting seems to be more important."

"I--"

Mr. Xie wanted to explain, but looking back on the past, it seemed that Xie Yuan really hit the mark.

He sat on the chair and didn't ask Xie Yuan to stop, but was just thinking about it, could it be that he really did something wrong?

But Xie Moting's parents had already died to save him. Without them, he might have become a handful of loess. Where would he be today? Wouldn't this kind of kindness be repaid?

The benefactor only has one daughter, Xie Moting, and he should treat her well.

Why did Xie Yuan disagree?

"knock--"

There was a knock on the door outside, Mr. Xie raised his eyes in a daze, and saw Xie Moting walking in: "Dad, it's time to eat, let's go down."

Mr. Xie came back to his senses and returned to his indifference: "Okay."

In fact, he has been aware of Xie Moting's thoughts for so many years, she wants to become the leader of the Xie family.

He has been suppressing Xie Yuan all the time, but as long as she doesn't go too far, he will turn a blind eye. After all, the Patriarch of the Xie family can't be weak, so it's good to use Xie Moting to train.

As a result, he was very satisfied, Xie Yuan had grown into the capable appearance he liked.

"Dad, what did you tell Yuan'er in the study just now?" Xie Moting supported him, and asked tentatively, "Is it about Qin Mian?"

Mr. Xie glanced at Xie Moting, and warned: "You are his elder, so if you can ignore such private affairs in the future, just leave it alone, meddle in anything, and act like an elder."

Xie Moting's heart trembled, knowing that Mr. Xie was dissatisfied with her talking too much.

Immediately laughed and said: "Dad, what you reprimanded is that I won't ask any more questions in the future, but I still have to ask more questions about the company..."

"Leave the company to Yuan'er and Xingzhi. They have grown up and should have taken over Xie's family. You should go out and play more in the future. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Hearing this, Xie Moting felt even more uncomfortable, and pinched Mr. Xie with her fingers.

Mr. Xie paused, looked at her quietly, and said nothing.

Xie Moting understood in an instant, and hurriedly let go of her hand and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. It's good for them to grow up, but I've managed some places for so many years, and I'm afraid it's not good to hand them over suddenly."

"What's wrong, they have their own means, just let go." Mr. Xie said earnestly: "It's been so many years, and you have worked hard."

Xie Moting just wanted to say that it wasn't hard work.

She hated her so much that she almost wanted to scold Mr. Xie, but she didn't dare to swallow the words when they came to her mouth.

Mr. Xie lowered his head, looked at her holding his hand and said, "Let go, I can walk by myself."

let go?

This is really a pun!
Xie Moting smiled and said, "Dad, I'll help you go down. The stairs have just been cleaned, so it's not easy to walk."

How can it be difficult to walk, the stairs are covered with carpets, and they will definitely not be slippery, it's just that she is on the surface and refuses to let go of him.

Mr. Xie pulled out his arm, he didn't save face for Xie Moting, and went downstairs directly.

And Xie Moting froze on the spot, her face was terribly pale, and after a while, she followed.

During the meal, there was only the sound of knives and forks, and no one spoke.

Even the noisy Xie Moting didn't have the heart to bury people. After eating, Mr. Xie said: "You often go home to visit me. This old house is too big. I'm not used to living here alone."
