Chapter 426: Chapter 426
"Xiao Wang, is my dad here? We’ve come to wish the old man a happy new year."
Before the guard could continue questioning Fang Xiaohui, someone appeared.
Fang Xiaohui arrived just on time.
Xiao Wang looked at the man and woman in front of him, along with two children, and his face was about to drip with water!
Can’t you just stop making a fuss?
It’s New Year’s, can’t you let the old man have a peaceful New Year?
It’s really unbearable!
He put on a stern face, which originally had no trace of a smile.
He answered in an official manner.
"Mr. Wang instructed that no unauthorized persons are allowed inside. Please leave!"
They came three times a day.
Can’t they let people live in peace!
Wang Xinyu smiled and pushed Xiao Wang aside, "Xiao Wang, it’s New Year’s today! It’s only natural for a daughter to return to her family home, you can’t stop my dad from sharing family joy with his children. You’re young and may not understand, but the older one gets, the more they miss their children, especially during New Year’s. You can’t cause trouble for the old man at such a time.
We’ll just check on the old man and leave, I promise we won’t disturb him."
As she spoke, she signaled to her husband, and the four of them rushed inside.
Mr. Wang was in the middle of discussing academic matters with three students and had specifically instructed not to disturb him.
They were deliberately putting him in a difficult position.
He shouted sternly, but being young, his voice lacked authority, and Wang Xinyu simply ignored him.
"Xiao Wang, you’re overstepping, that’s my dad in there. No matter how things are, we’re still biological family, there’s no overnight feud for us! Stop meddling in our affairs! Remember your place, you’re just a guard, step aside for me."
They were determined to force their way in.
"He can’t stop you! But I can!"
An elderly voice appeared, and Wang Xinyu and the others halted.
Mr. Wang was accompanied by three students, appearing at the door.
Fang Xiaohui felt a sense of joy.
The opportunity had come.
"Dad, you’ve come out! It’s freezing, not good for your bronchitis, let me help you in, Jinyun, come help me support Grandpa in."
In a moment of desperation, Wang Xinyu thought quickly, it was perfect timing for their father to come out. No matter what, they had to mend their relationship with the old man.
Even if others called them shameless.
Wang Xinyu tried to support the old man, but Wang Jiaxiang shook off her hand, "Who let you come in? I’ve already said, you live your lives, I live mine, can’t you leave some dignity for yourselves? Don’t make me say it directly."
Mr. Wang felt annoyed, his children had become after more than a decade.
It was really baffling.
On New Year’s, the students worried he’d be lonely and came to accompany him, but now it’s disrupted by Wang Xinyu.
Wang Xinyu covered her face and cried, looking absolutely aggrieved, "Dad, I just wanted to show some filial piety, how could you be so heartless! We had no choice back then, we were just trying to protect mom, who would’ve thought that it would end up hurting you.
We had no choice, if we didn’t protect mom back then, we’d have been exiled as a family, what choice did we have? Dad, we were wrong, since you’ve forgiven us, let us come back to you, you’re older now, you really need people to take care of you.
Dad, if you think my sincerity isn’t enough, how about I kneel down for you?"
With that, she was really about to kneel.
If she knelt on New Year’s, it would draw a lot of attention.
Everyone living here were distinguished professors and eminent academic figures, unlike folks who’d come out to watch a spectacle.
The problem was it was still embarrassing.
They were forcing the old man to let them in.
Wang Jiaxiang was so angry he was trembling, this was his daughter!
She was worse than a stranger, always claiming she’s wrong, yet constantly pressuring him to give in.
This was not the first time this had happened.
Embarrassing or not, so be it.
Wang Jiaxiang thought he wouldn’t care.
The sound of clapping interrupted Wang Xinyu’s kneeling pose.
Wang Xinyu saw a young girl carrying something, looking like she was here to visit someone.
She watched the person cautiously.
"This is the first time I’ve seen such shamelessness, claiming to be wrong, yet treating your father ? If I were you, having done such despicable things, I’d already have smashed my head against a piece of tofu. How do you still have the nerve to make things difficult for your father here?
Even animals know to repay their parents for raising them, even crows support their parents in their old age, yet you’re worse than an animal, and still have the face to act pitiful in front of the old man.
You think a couple of tears make you the victim? Let me tell you, everyone sees clearly. Mr. Wang’s lifelong reputation is not something for you to ruin. Leave right now! Otherwise, I’ll expose your secrets and let everyone see your true colors.
Don’t forget what you wrote, if I reveal it, do you think you, your husband, daughter, and son could sit here in peace?"
The last sentence was whispered by Fang Xiaohui, no one else heard it, they just saw Wang Xinyu’s expression change drastically after Fang Xiaohui finished speaking, and she hurriedly left with her husband and children like a defeated dog.
As fast as they could! It seemed like a ghost was chasing them.
Wang Xinyu herself was also terrified inside, how did this woman know about that! Even her father didn’t know about it.
If Mr. Wang found out, breaking off relations would be the least of her concerns.
Watching Wang Xinyu flee in panic, Fang Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled, adjusted her posture, and then turned to face Wang Jiaxiang.
"Mr. Wang, my name is Fang Xiaohui, I specifically came to visit you today! I got a bit indignant just now, I hope you won’t blame me for meddling!"
She must get inside the Wang’s house today.
Mr. Wang looked at Fang Xiaohui, he didn’t recognize this young girl.
However, she wouldn’t have helped him for no reason!
Recently, he had encountered more than a few people trying to latch onto him, Fang Xiaohui wouldn’t be the first, but it seemed like he got lucky, at least now she helped him resolve a crisis.
"Thank you, but I have matters to attend to today and won’t be seeing guests. Besides, I don’t know you, child, you’d better go back!"
Wang Jiaxiang didn’t want to get involved with people who had ulterior motives, it was too exhausting!
Fang Xiaohui felt awkward! She didn’t expect the old man to say that, he really was a stubborn old man.
"Mr. Wang, it’s okay, you indeed don’t know me, I’m the wife of Song Mohuan, the second child of the Song family. I came specifically on behalf of my grandparents to visit you. I know you don’t like seeing strangers, so please keep the things I’ve brought, and I’ll leave right away."
She understood the art of playing hard to get.
Wang Jiaxiang did feel a bit sorry, he was an old man after all, growing suspicious in his age.
Oh well! Who hasn’t been young, and seeing the girl being sensible, he felt there was no need to push her away.
"Why don’t you come in for a cup of tea before you leave!"
Mr. Wang left a sentence and walked away with his students.
Fang Xiaohui was pleasantly surprised and repeatedly agreed, "Sure, Mr. Wang, I’ll make some tea, you can try my skills."
In a past life, she had tinkered with tea sets, and the art of tea was her forte.
