Chapter 105: Being a Bad Guy
Old Zheng’s words exploded in Xie Chaochao’s mind like a bolt from the blue. What was going on? Everything had happened too suddenly! Her father already knew? Then, what was his view? What was the purpose of these people saying this? A bunch of questions filled her mind, but she was more concerned about:
“So… you’re here to take me away?” Xie Chaochao lowered her head and asked the question she was most concerned about.
“…Yes, but that’s not entirely correct. Our goal this time is only to bring you back. Elder Lin misses you very much and wants to see you with his own eyes and talk to you. That’s all…”
“What if I refuse?” Xie Chaochao said coldly.
“I hope you won’t make things difficult for us. Besides, I think you really have to see your family. Don’t you think so, Mr Xie Zhou?” Before the person could finish speaking, he turned to Xie Zhou and said.
Xie Zhou lowered his head and didn’t say anything. Ever since Xie Chaochao entered the room, he hadn’t said a word. At this moment, his expression was unprecedentedly gloomy. It was the same as when he had first come out of prison.
“I can understand how deep your relationship is, but please consider the feelings of Old Master Lin and the girl’s biological father. Finally… I hope you make the right choice. We’ll take our leave today.”
After saying that, he waved at the people in suits around him. Then, everyone walked out with him orderly, leaving only the Xie father-daughter pair in the living room.
After leaving the house, Old Zheng was also very upset. He could completely understand the relationship between the father-daughter pair. After all, everyone had feelings. No one was truly heartless. Moreover, Xie Zhou was a famous good person. This meant that he valued relationships.
However, wasn’t Elder Lin the same? When he was young, he was a bodyguard for Elder Lin. He worked for Elder Link until the both of them retired and then became Elder Lin’s butler. He knew Elder Lin’s character too well. He was also famous for being humble. If Elder Lin saw the deep relationship between the father and daughter, he would definitely be touched.
However, it was precisely because of this that in order for the two of them to meet and for this child to return to the Lin family, someone had to be the bad guy. This person could only be himself. This child had to at least return to the Lin family. She had to teach that lawless woman a lesson, and remind the woman that the Lin family would never be hers!
As he thought about this, he had already walked out of the Xie family’s courtyard. When he saw Chaochao’s grandpa in the crowd, his eyes immediately widened.
The other party seemed to have seen Old Zheng too. He didn’t say anything and only gestured with his mouth. Old Zheng understood and then turned around to open the car door. He got into the car and drove away. The crowd gradually dispersed under Sun Chengfu’s instructions.
The grandpa walked into the living room. The scene inside was as he had expected. The father and daughter sat on the sofa without saying a word.
The old man thought for a moment and walked over. “Xie Zhou, what do you think? Tell me!”
Xie Chaochao turned to look at her father. She had many questions in her heart, but right now, she wanted to know her father’s stance the most.
“…” Xie Zhou thought about it for a long time. He had long thought that such a day would come. He originally wanted to talk about these things after Chaochao became an adult, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
He had an internal conflict. Eventually, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, “Chaochao, I think you should go back and take a look…” He said slowly.
