Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 251 Father and Daughter (Part )

Xie Tanyu's eyes never left Xiao Wang. His eyes were filled with imperceptible relief. When he learned that Xiao Wang was in trouble, he helped him without hesitation.

The next scene changed again, and Yan Ciwan returned to the familiar study.

She saw the door being pushed open, and Xie Tanyu and Xie Chusong walked in one after another.

Xie Chusong said to A Feng outside the door: "I have something very important to discuss with my father next. Don't let anyone get close to here."

"Yes."

Afeng turned and walked down the stairs, and the door was closed again.

At this moment, there were only Xie Chusong, Xie Tanyu, and Yan Ciwan, a ghost, in the study.

Xie Tanyu asked, "Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something?"

Xie Chusong looked like she was worried about something, her brows were furrowed since she entered the door. She looked at her father, whom she had always respected, and asked slowly.

"Who is my biological father?"

"I've already told you that you're a child I happened to pick up on the street, and I don't know who your biological parents are."

Xie Chusong smiled bitterly: "Aye, I am no longer a three-year-old child. You can't fool me with these words anymore. Please answer my questions honestly, okay?"

Xie Tanyu's expression did not change at all, and her tone could be described as cold: "This is the truth."

Xie Chusong stared at the other person's eyes and asked in a low voice: "My biological father is actually Xu Hanshi, right?"

Xie Tanyu frowned slowly: "Who told you these words?"

"You don't need to know who told me, you just need to answer yes, or no?"

"I've already answered you, I don't know." Xie Chusong avoided her gaze, walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the memorial, unfolded it, and dipped the pen in ink. "I have something to do now, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."

Xie Chusong refused to give up. She took two steps forward to the desk, placed her hands on it, and stared at the other person's face, not wanting to miss even the slightest change in expression on his face.

She has always been gentle and considerate, but now she becomes particularly strong.

"Why don't you tell me the truth? Is it because you feel guilty?"

Xie Tanyu seemed a little impatient. He frowned and said, "No matter how many times you ask, I still say the same thing. I don't know who your biological father is! Why would you rather believe the nonsense of outsiders than believe my words? In your heart, am I, the father who raised you for twenty years, not as worthy of your trust as an outsider?"

"It is precisely because you have raised me for twenty years and I trust you that I came to you to ask for clarification. As long as you tell me that my biological father is not Xu Hanshi, I will believe you unconditionally."

Xie Tanyu's lips moved.

Yan Ciwan could see that at this moment he really wanted to say that Xu Hanshi was not her biological father, because this was the best answer, because only in this way could he cut off Xie Chusong's curiosity and stop her from asking further questions.

He exerted a little more force on the fingers holding the brush, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Yan Ciwan didn’t know what kind of person Xu Hanshi was, nor did she know what kind of relationship Xie Tanyu had with Xu Hanshi. From an observer’s perspective, she felt that Xie Tanyu must be very reluctant at this moment.

Xie Chusong is the only flesh and blood of Xu Hanshi left in this world. If Xie Tanyu denies this fact at this moment, then the last connection between Xu Hanshi and this world will be severed.

So even though he knew that denial was the most direct and effective solution, he still couldn't bear to do it.

Perhaps it was because he still had a little hope in his heart.

He hopes that those who sacrificed that year will be remembered.

Yan Ciwan thought that Xie Tanyu was actually a very soft-hearted person. However, in Xie Chusong's eyes, Xie Tanyu was extremely cold and ruthless.

Because no matter how she begged, Xie Tanyu was unwilling to give a clear answer.

She couldn't help shedding tears and choked up, "Why won't you tell me the truth? Is my biological father really Xu Hanshi? Are you really an accomplice in the extermination of the Xu family? Please, tell me this isn't true, please!"

At the end she actually knelt on the ground, begging the other party for an answer in the most humble manner of her life.

Xie Tanyu looked at Xie Chusong who was almost collapsed, and a barely perceptible trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

If Yan Ci Wan hadn't been watching next to him, she wouldn't have noticed this subtle change in his expression at all.

But unfortunately, Xie Chusong, who was kneeling on the ground at the moment, failed to notice it.

She could only hear Xie Tanyu speaking in an extremely cold tone.

"Go back to your own room, wait for marriage peacefully, and stop having any more thoughts."

Xie Chusong raised her head and looked at the other person with a pair of misty eyes. She hoped that the other person would give her an answer because of their twenty years of father-daughter relationship, even if it was just a nod or a shake of the head!

But in the end, Xie Tanyu did not get what she wished.

After he said this, he lowered his head and continued to look at the file in his hand.

Such a cold attitude deeply shocked Xie Chusong. In addition to her anger, a trace of hatred surged from the bottom of her heart.

She got up from the ground and questioned with tears in her eyes.

"If you really care about me, you should tell me the truth! But you said nothing. You were so perfunctory to me. Are you afraid that the truth will be exposed? Are you afraid that I will know the truth and avenge the entire Xu family who were killed?!"

"That's enough!" Xie Tanyu put the brush on the brush stand and scolded with an unprecedented harsh tone. "No matter what the Xu family is like, it has nothing to do with you. You are my daughter who was raised by me. You have to listen to me no matter what I say. Now, I want you to go back to your residence immediately and not step out of the courtyard again before you get married!"

Xie Chusong continued to question with tears in his eyes: "Why are you so anxious to get me out? Are you feeling guilty? Have I guessed all the secrets in your heart?"

Xie Tanyu pointed in the direction of the door and shouted angrily: "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

Xie Chusong was deeply hurt by the disgust in his eyes.

She couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and ran out with tears in her eyes.

The door was slammed shut with a loud bang.

Xie Tanyu stood up and wanted to chase after him, but ended up staggering and falling back into his chair.

At this moment, Yan Ciwan felt that Xie Tanyu seemed to have aged several years. He exuded a strong aura of decadence, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of weakness and fatigue.

He stared ahead in a daze, and at this moment Yan Ci Wan happened to be standing right in front of him.

His gaze was so focused that Yan Ciwan had a momentary illusion that he could see her.

But she soon found that she had guessed wrong, because his gaze seemed to penetrate her body and look far away.

She heard him mumbling.

"sorry."

I wonder if these three words are for those who unfortunately died twenty years ago, or for Xie Chusong who ran away crying in anger?

Or maybe it's both.
