Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

"I have said all that needs to be said. Please make yourselves at home."

Huo Zhenting stood up, nodded in acknowledgment, and then walked towards the study.

"If the heart"

Wang Qing looked at Xu Ruoxin, her eyes full of pleading and ingratiation.

Xu Ruoxin shook her head, ignoring it, and instead spoke.

“Zhenting’s meaning is also my meaning. Wang Qing, I never expected your family to be like this. Since things have come to this, I don’t want to say anything more.”

"Shion, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you that day. Auntie apologizes."

Xu Ruoxin turned to look at Liu Shiyin, her tone earnest and sincere.

"Aunt Huo, please don't be like this, I'm fine, really,"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyin quickly shook her head and waved her hand, saying...

"No matter who makes a mistake, they must have the courage and responsibility to admit it; no one is an exception."

Xu Ruoxin's voice echoed in the restaurant. Her gaze was firm as she swept over the Xu family of three before turning and leaving, leaving Wang Qing with a look of astonishment and Xu Zhiyuan with a complicated expression.

Huo Muchen stood up, gently took Liu Shiyin's small hand, and said in a tender voice:

"Honey, let's go."

However, Xu Zhiyuan's voice broke the brief silence:

"and many more."

He raised his head, his eyes pleading. Liu Shiyin looked at Xu Zhiyuan, who seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and felt a mix of emotions.

"Shiyin, please help me. You should know that I am your father. As for your mother... these are adult matters, and I don't know how to tell you. But please believe me, I have my own helplessness and hardships. Now, I only hope that you can save the Xu family, and... and your sister."

Huo Muchen sneered after hearing this. He gripped Liu Shiyin's hand tightly, preparing to pull her away.

Liu Shiyin spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of determination:

“You are truly deluded and spouting nonsense. I know everything about you and my mother. As for my sister? I don’t have one. My mother raised me single-handedly from childhood. To me, you are not relatives at all, you are less than strangers.”

Her words struck Xu Zhiyuan like a knife, and his face instantly turned pale.

He watched Liu Shiyin's departing figure, his eyes filled with anger and resentment:

"You are so cruel! You know Xiao Fan loves Mu Chen so much, yet you still try to take him away! Don't you even consider whether your body is worthy of him? Besides, I am your father, and Xiao Fan and you share half of the same blood. You can't deny that! If you continue to ignore this, you will be accused of being unfilial after I die!"

After hearing his words, Liu Shiyin's straight back trembled slightly, but she did not turn around. Instead, she quickened her pace and strode outside.

Huo Muchen looked at Liu Shiyin's injured state, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He turned to Xu Zhiyuan and said coldly:

"I'll give you another big gift tomorrow."

Seeing the viciousness and mockery in Huo Muchen's eyes, Xu Zhiyuan's heart tightened. He turned around and looked around; only the three of them remained. He slumped into a chair, unable to recover for a long time.

"Mom, did you already know all along that that bitch is my half-sister?"

Back home, Xu Xiaofan broke down and asked Wang Qing, who was standing beside her, a question that seemed to defuse her.

"Xiao Fan, what are you yelling about? Do you know what's going on? Our Xu family has gone bankrupt. We're penniless now, we have nothing left. Do you understand?"

Wang Qing looked at Xu Xiaofan, who was being unreasonable, and said with heartache,

"I'll go and beg Brother Mu Chen again tomorrow..."

"Stop talking. Do you know that the group of men in black who kidnapped us was Huo Muchen? He has absolutely no feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't have sent more than a dozen people to treat you like that..."

Wang Qing broke down in tears at this point.

"How could that be? It's impossible! Brother Mu Chen wasn't even there! You're lying! You're lying!"

Xu Xiaofan broke down and screamed, causing chaos in the Xu family villa. The servants looked at each other, none of them daring to step forward to comfort her.
