Chapter 27: Chapter 27: When a Child’s Morality Is Corrupt, the Parents Cannot Escape Blame

Xu Xingguang originally planned to move to Cangshan Town with Xu Qingnian.

Seeing Xu Qingnian nearly freeze to death at home tonight, with no one to care for him, further strengthened Xu Xingguang’s resolve to take him away from the Xu Family.

Knowing what was worrying the old man, Xu Xingguang said good-naturedly, "I’ve already discussed it with Dad. From now on, you’ll live with me in Cangshan Town. I’ve hired a caregiver for you, and the caregiver’s fee will be covered by him."

Afraid that the old man wouldn’t be satisfied, Xu Xingguang added, "The caregiver is very professional. When I was doing rehabilitation at the Changkang Nursing Home, she was always there with me. Grandpa, you have to come with me; there’s no place for either of us here anymore."

Upon learning that Xu Zeqing actually agreed to Xu Xingguang’s decision, Xu Qingnian suddenly cursed, "What a bastard, how foolish! It’s one thing for him to be unfilial and unrighteous, but to drag you into this!"

He knew that moving out with Xingguang would hinder her future prospects, yet that bastard even agreed to it. He really is an unfit father!

Xu Zeqing becoming the way he is now is partly due to his parents’ failure.

At that moment, Xu Qingnian regretted not being stricter with Xu Zeqing when he was young.

Xu Xingguang suddenly asked Xu Qingnian, "Grandpa, what did Dad say to you about the company being taken over?"

"He said it was due to poor management."

"Poor management?" Xu Xingguang sneered and revealed the truth about the company being taken over to Xu Qingnian: "He lied. The reason the company went bankrupt was because it was suppressed by Jiang Heng."

Xu Qingnian naturally remembered who Jiang Heng was, but he couldn’t figure out Jiang Heng’s motive for doing so. "Jiang Heng was your ex-boyfriend? He had no grudge against our Xu Family, so why did he do this?"

"What he wanted from the beginning was never me, but my blood." Xu Xingguang took some time to explain everything that had happened during the three years when she was in a vegetative state.

After discovering the truth, Xu Qingnian’s worldview was massively shocked. "You mean to say that Jiang Heng pursued you just to get your blood to save the woman he loved. And your dad agreed to Jiang Heng’s sinister demands in order to save the company?"

Xu Xingguang nodded, "Yes."

Tears immediately streamed down Xu Qingnian’s face, "Oh my God, what kind of person did I raise!" He merely thought Xu Zeqing was unfilial, but didn’t expect him to be unkind to his child as well!

He had already prostituted his daughter for glory!

"That’s not all either."

Hearing this, Xu Qingnian’s eyes bulged in disbelief, "He did something even worse?"

With a mocking expression, Xu Xingguang said, "To squeeze the last bit of value out of me, he planned to pull my oxygen mask, and as soon as I died, send me for a posthumous marriage with a noble young man who had been suffering from terminal illness for years. But I was stubborn enough to wake up the night he pulled my oxygen mask."

"Crazy! He’s completely lost his mind!" Xu Qingnian’s chest heaved violently in anger. He suddenly coughed excitedly, gasping as if he would cough out a lung.

Xu Xingguang quickly held down Xu Qingnian’s shoulder, gently massaging his Lung Shu acupoint with her thumb. Only then did Xu Qingnian catch his breath.

Leaning heavily on the pillow, Xu Qingnian sighed, "Not teaching properly is the father’s fault. I’ve spent half my life teaching and nurturing others, yet failed to educate my own child properly. I can’t escape the blame either!" Closing his eyes, Xu Qingnian said, "Xingguang, leave, get out of this house, the farther the better."

This place is a man-eating den, how can Xu Xingguang fight all of them alone?

"You come with me." Xu Xingguang insisted on taking Xu Qingnian with her. She said, "Although my dad is alive, he’s as good as dead. Grandpa, you’re my only remaining family. I have to keep you by my side to feel at ease."

Saying this, Xu Qingnian had no reason to argue further. "It’s only troubling for you."

"I don’t feel troubled."

With this matter settled, that night Xu Xingguang began to pack Xu Qingnian’s luggage.

Before Xu Qingnian was paralyzed, he was a distinguished man, dressing well. After he became paralyzed, those clothes just stayed hanging in the closet untouched.

Just as Xu Xingguang finished packing Xu Qingnian’s things, she saw a car drive into the courtyard. Xu Zeqing beamingly got out of the car, jingling the keys, and humming as he walked towards the entrance hall.

When Xu Xingguang opened the door, she came face to face with Xu Zeqing.

Seeing Xu Xingguang with luggage, Xu Zeqing was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

Xu Xingguang said, "We’re moving to Cangshan Town tomorrow. I’m putting Grandpa’s luggage in the car trunk first." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Wait for a few more days. Is the house in Cangshan Town still livable? Move after it’s been tidied up." Chu Zimu just visited the Xu Family today. If news of Xu Xingguang moving out with the old man spread, it would surely raise complaints.

The Chu Family, such a respectable household, cares a lot about the familial atmosphere and reputation of a girl’s family.

He couldn’t let the Chu Family think the Xu Family is heartless and unkind.
