Chapter 203: Chapter 91: Grandpa’s Favoritism Toward Boys Over Girls (Part 5)

Seeing Mr. Xu finally realize there was a problem with the Longhu Shuilan project, Xingguang finally smiled satisfactorily.

She didn’t give Xu Zeqing the answer he wanted, only pretended to kindly remind him: "You’re losing too much blood and about to pass out. Mr. Xu, if you don’t leave, shall I call 911 for you?"

"You bas..." The words weren’t fully spoken before Xu Zeqing staggered and fell to the ground.

Xingguang watched coldly for a while before taking out her phone and dialing for emergency help for Xu Zeqing.

He can’t die just like that.

He doesn’t deserve to die in Mo Yinshu’s house.

He needs to live well, to watch helplessly as his business empire dream collapses, to taste the feeling of loneliness and poverty day after day.

The ambulance arrived swiftly.

As Xu Zeqing was taken away, his consciousness fading, he looked at the slender figure at the courtyard door and cursed unwillingly: "Xingguang, you won’t die a good death."

"Xingguang, wait for your retribution!"

"Back then, Jiang Heng should have drained your blood to death!"

"How did I raise such a beast like you!"

"You..."

As the ambulance door closed, Xingguang could still hear the chaotic yet venomous curses from the other side.

She shook her head, turned, and entered the courtyard to see Sister Lin standing like a knight at the elevator exit on the first floor, instantly smiling.

This smile was full of mockery, completely different from her earlier smile when facing Xu Zeqing.

Sister Lin knew what Xingguang was laughing at, she awkwardly touched her high ponytail and explained: "I was worried the old man would be confused, and if he dared to come down, I would stop him."

"No need, but thank you." Realizing Sister Lin hadn’t had dinner yet, Xingguang said, "I’ve warmed dinner in the pot for you, you can go eat first, I’m going upstairs to visit Grandpa."

"Alright."

Dinner was prepared by the two of them together, Sister Lin responsible for washing and cutting the vegetables, Xingguang the chef.

Xingguang directly took the elevator to the second floor.

She walked from the elevator into Xu Qingnian’s room and noticed the old man’s face looked very unpleasant. Xingguang quietly stared at him, confident: "You heard it all?"

Xu Qingnian nodded.

His expression was complex as he looked at Xingguang, his gaze less warm, more scrutinizing and unfamiliar.

Clearly, after knowing what Xingguang had done to get revenge on Xu Zeqing, Xu Qingnian had formed opinions about her.

"So, what’s on Grandpa’s mind?" Xingguang was curious.

She asked, and Xu Qingnian didn’t want to hold it in.

Xu Qingnian spoke honestly: "I understand your desire to avenge your mother, but Xingguang, he is still your father. Though he wronged your mother, you shouldn’t be so heartless."

Nodding, Xingguang suddenly asked Xu Qingnian: "What does Grandpa know?"

Xu Qingnian frowned, not understanding what Xingguang meant.

Xingguang thought deeply, suddenly saying: "Grandpa, you have long known Xu Zeqing and You Jingqiu knew each other before my mother passed, right?"

Xu Qingnian hesitated, admitting: "Before your mother passed, the affection between her and your father was not deep, they even considered divorce. At that time, I discovered your father secretly bringing You Jingqiu home once."

But Xu Qingnian didn’t know, You Jingqiu was the escort Xiang Jing who entangled with Xu Zeqing back then.

Nor did he know, You Jingqiu’s pair of children were actually his grandchildren.

"So, you knew about Xu Zeqing’s affair with You Jingqiu, but chose to hide the truth from me." Nodding, Xingguang didn’t give Xu Qingnian a chance to explain and self-analyzed: "You didn’t dare say, afraid I would hate Xu Zeqing. In the end, between me and Xu Zeqing, you chose to let me suffer."

Xingguang didn’t directly accuse Xu Qingnian of his mistakes, simply analyzed Xu Qingnian’s thoughts calmly.

This made Xu Qingnian feel guilty.

"Xingguang, Grandpa still hopes you father and daughter unite. I don’t want to see this family fall apart like this."

Xingguang couldn’t help refuting him: "You didn’t want this family to fall apart, so chose to hide everything from me. My mother solely wanted divorce from Xu Zeqing and would never attend gala dinners to help him attract investors."

"You knew my mother’s death was suspicious, knew your son was a bastard, yet to protect him, you chose to favor him!"

Realizing this, Xingguang found it quite meaningless.

"I regard you as my only family, I schemed against You Jingqiu, against You Mingyue, against my own father. Because they don’t deserve to be my family! But I’ve never schemed against you."

"But clearly, I regarded you as family, considered you everywhere. But you, repeatedly belittled me."

At this moment, Xingguang missed Mo Yinshu more.

In this world, only Mo Yinshu faced choices without begrudging Xingguang anything.

Because she was Mo Yinshu’s treasure.

And Xu Qingnian’s treasure always was Xu Zeqing.

Xingguang couldn’t say Xu Qingnian was wrong, but she felt uncomfortable.

"There’s something you probably don’t know." Xingguang mockedly smiled, sharing shocking news with Xu Qingnian: "You Jingqiu, she’s the escort Xiang Jing who seduced your son back then. You Mingyue and You Jiaoyang siblings are actually Xu Zeqing’s children."

Xu Qingnian’s eyes suddenly widened.

"Are you saying Jiaoyang and Mingyue, those two are Zeqing’s children?" Xu Qingnian’s eyes quivered, unable to hide his excitement: "So Jiaoyang is my grandson? My Xu Family finally has descendants!"

After speaking, noticing Xingguang’s gaze instantly became playful, he realized his reaction just now was so inappropriate.

One sentence, ’Jiaoyang is my grandson, Xu Family finally has descendants,’ exposed the true emotions in his heart so clearly.

Both You Jiaoyang and You Mingyue are his Xu Family’s children, but he only mentioned the grandson You Jiaoyang.

In other words, of the three, Xingguang, You Mingyue, and You Jiaoyang, only You Jiaoyang was his grandson in Xu Qingnian’s eyes.

A grandson, that’s a treasure.

Xu Qingnian belatedly showed an embarrassed expression, wanting to say something but at a loss for words.

Finally, he dryly explained: "I was too shocked."

Xingguang laughed, piercing through his facade, "You’re not shocked, you’re delighted."

Xu Qingnian pressed his lips tightly, not refuting Xingguang.

Xingguang suddenly said: "The three of You Jingqiu have moved out of the Xu Family, it’s now Xu Family’s again. Tomorrow morning, I’ll send Grandpa back to Xu Family."

Xu Qingnian was stunned.

He became somewhat bewildered and a bit angry, "Just because I misspoke, you’re driving me away?" His pride hurt, "Xingguang, what do you think of me?"

Trash?

Throw away just like that?

Xingguang saw the anger and pain in the old man’s eyes, she felt heavy-hearted too. But she couldn’t manage to treat Xu Qingnian as kindly as before.

She was inherently not a kind or merciful girl.

She was charitable, but not overly so.

"Grandpa, this is my mother’s property, letting you continue living here, she wouldn’t rest in peace knowing."

"I’m sending you back to your own home, where you have your beloved son, maybe your grandson will regularly visit too, how can this be called driving you away?"

Xingguang shook her head with a wry smile, sighed: "The one truly driven out of the Xu Family is clearly me."

Though she proposed moving out, the one truly unaccepted by Xu Family was always her.
