Chapter 2538
But who would have thought that after so many years, his daughter was still alive?
He felt that this might be a joke from the heavens. The past few years had been a nightmare, and now, they were finally waking up from it.
Xia rushuang’s heart twisted when she saw the old master’s eyes filled with tears of anticipation. However, she put on an exceptionally considerate expression and said,””Uncle, don’t worry. Xiao’ AI won’t go missing this time. She’s in Sea city, and I’m her sister-in-law now. I can find her.”
“That’s good, that’s good ...” Old master Xia realized that Xia rushuang was still kneeling and hurriedly said,””You ... Why are you still kneeling? get up, get up, rushuang ... If what you said is true, our whole family will be grateful to you. I will definitely thank you properly ...”
Xia rushuang’s hand trembled. The old master’s words were like a tight slap to her face.
Because what he meant was that he had never treated her as family.
Xia rushuang gritted her teeth. This damned old thing. In the past, he kept saying that he treated her as family and as his own daughter. Now, he was finally telling the truth. For so many years, she had been like a servant girl in the Xia family. He had never treated her as family.
No matter how much she hated him, Xia rushuang pretended to be touched by his words. She said,””Uncle, what are you talking about? Xiao’ AI is my sister. We’re all family. I wish more than anyone else that Xiao’ AI will be well. You don’t know how excited I was when I saw her. I was so excited that I couldn’t even speak. I almost thought ... Almost thought that she was a ghost.”
Xia rushuang’s mind was set on making her words sound right. She knew that there were loopholes in her words, but at this time, she had to take advantage of the old master’s excitement and lack of time to think about it. She had to make him not have time to think about it, and then she could fill in the loopholes bit by bit.
The old man suddenly thought of something.”Hey, you ... Why didn’t you go and find an LAN? how could an LAN not know about this?”
Xia rushuang had already thought of an excuse. She lowered her head and said,””Uncle, you ... Have forgotten that big brother LAN has never liked me. He doesn’t answer my calls. I went to look for him, but he doesn’t want to see me either. However, I couldn’t wait to tell you about such an important matter, so ... I rushed back overnight.”
Her words were tactful, but she was very scheming.
He didn’t even mention that the old master didn’t pick up her phone during the day.
However, her words would immediately remind the old master of the day when he had rejected Xia rushuang’s call. He would feel guilty and blame himself.
“It’s my fault,” the old man said guiltily.”If I had picked up your call during the day, you wouldn’t have had to come back ...”
The old man was too excited. His daughter’s survival was more important than anything else. The news that Xia rushuang had brought back made the old man cast aside all his previous disgust for her. His mind was now filled with the thought of going to sea city to see his daughter.
Xia rushuang hurriedly shook her head.”Uncle, it’s all my fault. How can I blame you? if I hadn’t disappointed you so much, you wouldn’t have ignored my calls. You’ve always been the one who loves me the most in this family. It’s my fault. I’ll definitely change in the future. I only hope ... That I can still come and visit you and Auntie occasionally in the future. I’ll be satisfied!”
