Xi Jincheng completely ignored Xi Lizhong's existence and just sat face to face, but it seemed that the other party was transparent. Even if he raised his eyes occasionally, it seemed to have penetrated the opposite side and landed on the wall.

The old man's mouth drooped, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just looked at Mu Chen, feeling an urgent and indescribable loss and loneliness.

"I want to talk to you about something, let's go to the study!" Xi Lizhong's eyes moved to Xi Jincheng, whispering, unlike usual strength.

Xi Jincheng pursed his lower lip and touched Mu Chen's head: "Go and play with mom."

"Oh!" Mu Chen nodded and obediently turned into Shu Ran's arms.

"I'll go." Xi Jincheng explained to her, then stood up and walked upstairs.

Xi Lizhong stood up, looked at Shu Ran and Mu Chen deeply, and then followed Xi Jincheng with a cane.

It was not until the two people disappeared at the stairs on the second floor that Xi Jinyan sighed and looked at Shu Ran and said, "Sister-in-law, my father's health has become worse and worse during this period.

He suddenly fell ill on the first day of the first day of the New Year. Uncle Li came to his house to see him and asked him to go to the hospital for treatment, but he refused.

What hospital should I go to when I am not at home during the New Year? Although he doesn’t say it, I think he should be waiting for you to go home."

Shu Ran bit her lip and looked down at Mu Chen. The little guy looked up at her. His big eyes were shining with calmness that was beyond his age.

This child really looks very much like Xi Jincheng, both in terms of appearance and personality.

Xi Jincheng's hatred towards Xi Lizhong seemed to have permeated his blood, so that the children could inherit his hatred.

From the first meeting to the present, Mu Chen has never been able to get close to Xi Lizhong.

"Jinyan, please take good care of Chairman Xi. If you have the chance, I will let Xi Jincheng go home." Shu Ran replied tactfully, without giving him any substantial answers.

After all, she didn't know if she could convince Xi Jincheng to let go of everything and forgive Xi Lizhong.

"Sister-in-law, no matter what, a family is a family. Many things have passed, and I really shouldn't continue like this. I can let it go. There is no reason why you are smarter and sensible than me, but you can't let it go, right?"

Xi Jinyan whispered in a begging manner: "The person my father loves most in his life is not my mother, nor me, but my brother.

My mother did such a foolish thing and ended up like that. I can’t blame anyone. I can only say what kind of cause and what kind of result I got.

But she has feelings for my dad and loves her. She has always been by my dad, but she has never felt any sense of security.

No matter how my brother fights him, makes things difficult for him, or hates him, the only person he always cares about the most is my brother. In that car accident twenty years ago, my father was notified twice of critical illness. When he called a lawyer to regret it, he gave Tianmu's shares to my brother.

At that time, my mother began to resent my father, and she felt that my father had no idea about me and my mother in his heart."

When Xi Jinyan said this, she smiled bitterly and glanced at Shu Ran.

Shu Ran frowned, never expecting that Xi Jinyan would suddenly tell her about these things. These are the Xi family's housework. If he told her about these things, wouldn't he be afraid of family sluts being made public?

Or, in his heart, did he really treat her as a family?

"Later, my dad survived by chance, but many physical functions were severely damaged. What we could see was his legs, and there were more others. Even so, my brother had never appeared in the hospital and had never seen my dad.

But even when my father was unconscious and ignorant, the people he was talking to were all my brother. Several times, he treated me as my brother and took my hand and called my brother's name.

Do you know? When I was, I hated him for why he treated me like this! But when I looked back, it was my mother and I who broke into each other, which caused such a tragic change in my brother's life.

When he was so young and was as old as Muchen, he lost his mother. My father was so busy that he had no time to take care of him and accompany him at home.

Every Chinese New Year, I can see resentment, loneliness, and jealousy in my brother's eyes. But he must not know that in fact, my father did not give us any happiness or warmth.

Not to mention that I can't meet him a few times, even during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, he rarely stays with us.

What I am lucky than my brother is not that my parents are by my side, but that I have the love of my mother, but my brother does not. If my father is biased, it is not that he is biased to me and my mother, but my brother.

But that person... the more he has high expectations for my brother, the more he will be severe and harsh in his brother.

Because in my father's heart, my brother is his heir and the heir of the Xi family. He must make my brother the best person to withstand the sky of the Xi family.

But my brother's hatred was too deep, so deep that he couldn't see the truth clearly. His heart was blinded by hatred and he always believed that my dad only loves me and my mom.

Maybe it’s because my brother is so perfect, excellent, and proud in his heart that he would object to you and my brother like that. Maybe no matter which girl he is, he is not worthy of my brother in his eyes!

At the beginning, he wanted Lin Xinyi to be with my brother, but it was not because Lin Xinyi was so outstanding or how good she matched my brother, but because of his relationship with Uncle Lin.

Sister-in-law, I don’t want to whitewash my dad, but I just think my dad wants to recognize Muchen too much. The older I get, the more I look forward to the family reunion. My brother has never called him Dad since he was five years old. He hopes that one day my brother can call him Dad again."

After Xi Jinyan finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh and patted his chest exaggeratedly: "I said so much in one breath, sister-in-law, don't you have anything to say?"

Shu Ran still bit her lip and looked at Xi Jinyan silently.

"Sister-in-law, I know you must also hate my dad. After all... If my dad had not been making trouble again and again, Grandma Mu Chen might not have been so quickly..."

"Jinyan, don't mention this matter again." Shu Muran frowned and interrupted Xi Jinyan's words before Shu Ran.

Xi Jinyan nodded quickly, looked at Shu Ran apologetically, and then looked at Shu Muran.

"Jinyan, thank you for saying so much to me. I can't give you any answer now. Give me some time, I think about it." Shu Ran lowered her head, raised her hand and pinched the hair that was hanging down from her face behind her ear. When she looked up at Xi Jinyan, she seemed to have thought.

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!" Xi Jinyan smiled happily, revealing a row of white teeth, smiling brightly.

Shu Ran thought to herself that the children who were both grown up in the Xi family were like the night of winter and the day of spring.

One is cold and dark, the other is warm and bright.
