Chapter 1622: Chapter 1620: Past Lives and Present 58
Chapter 1620
Before coming here, Xu Wanning didn’t know about Xia Yu’s relationship with the Zhao Group.
So when they met in the villa area, both were quite surprised.
"Is it you?"
"Is it you?"
They spoke in unison, faces full of astonishment.
Awkward silence hung as they stared at each other for a moment, then Xia Yu spoke first.
"How come you’re here?"
Xu Wanning glanced around the surroundings, smiling awkwardly.
"The environment here is nice!"
Xia Yu looked her up and down, then lowered his head, somewhat guilty, and asked.
"Are you planning to come back?"
Xu Wanning looked at her former husband, the man she once loved deeply, feeling sentimental.
"Yes!"
"Returning to one’s roots, isn’t it good?"
After avoiding for so many years outside, it was time to come back.
The wounds from the past have almost healed, yet the guilt has grown stronger.
The worst mistake was running far away for a man.
She didn’t even see her mother one last time.
Saying she doesn’t resent is false, but no amount of resentment can make up for her loss.
It’s all her fault, what’s the point of hating?
Xia Yu nodded, uncomfortable.
"Yes!"
"It is time to return!"
After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly spoke.
"About what happened back then, it’s my fault!"
"I want to know about our daughter, how is she now? Can I see her?"
Had he not asked.
With this question, Xu Wanning couldn’t hold back, and the pent-up yearning and guilt nearly broke her down.
Her eyes turned red, tears streamed down her face, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"I..."
Not knowing how to speak, she turned and ran to the nearby parked car, sobbing on the steering wheel.
A middle-aged breakdown is often more complete.
Guilt mixed with regret, coupled with longing for her mother and daughter, attacked her like a flood.
She couldn’t withstand it.
Xia Yu panicked and rushed over, knocking on the car window.
"Hey!"
"Are you okay, is everything alright!"
"Are you okay!"
With the door open, he opened the door and got in.
He reached out to pat her back soothingly but stopped in mid-air.
He slowly withdrew his hand, sitting silently with her.
After a while, he handed her a tissue.
They sat silently for a long time.
Xu Wanning gathered her emotions, took a deep breath, and looked at him with red eyes.
"Since you asked, I won’t hide it!"
"I... I can’t find our daughter anymore!"
Before finishing the sentence, she choked up again.
Xia Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"How could that be?"
"How could you not find her?!"
"Wasn’t she always with you?!"
His tone grew slightly anxious, sounding like accusation to Xu Wanning.
She suddenly looked at him coldly, sneering.
"What right do you have to question me!"
"Back then, as much as I hated you, I hated her!"
"Whenever I saw her, I would remember you!"
"I didn’t want to see you, not even think of you!"
"I..."
Her tone suddenly dimmed.
"I took her to my mother’s place and went south myself!"
"When I returned, my mother had passed away, and my daughter was gone!"
Xu Wanning sobbed again.
It’s all her fault, all her fault.
In the end, always innocent!
Back then, her daughter was only two! How could she bear it!
Her heart felt like being cut by a knife, how could she be so foolish, how could she do something so foolish!
She cried, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"I didn’t mean to, I didn’t do it on purpose!"
"It’s my fault to her! All my fault!"
Xia Yu: "..."
His heart felt like being stuffed with cotton, wanted to say something but couldn’t open his mouth.
After a long time, he sighed.
"Don’t worry!"
"Rest assured, she’ll be found, won’t be lost!"
"She’ll definitely be found!"
He opened the car door and stepped out slowly, walking away with faltering steps, repeating the words in his mouth.
Watching his departing back, Xu Wanning’s heart shattered once again.
Back when this man abandoned her for someone else, it was also this back view.
Exactly the same, hasn’t changed over the years, ha...
...
Xia Ruqing’s leg recovered quickly.
After a month of recuperation, the wound had completely scabbed, now just waiting for the scab to fall off, and the injury would be healed.
As for the bone injury, it’s not something that can heal quickly, so let it recover slowly.
The weather gradually turned warmer.
Outside, it’s sunny, spring returning to the earth, unknowingly, it’s already late spring and early summer.
When Zhao Junyao came to see her, she was writing something.
He was a bit curious.
"Why aren’t you resting, what are you doing?"
Xia Ruqing glanced at him, replied casually.
"I’m reviewing!"
"I might as well read some books while I’m idle!"
"I want to go to college!"
In high school, her grades were great. If it weren’t for the lack of money, she wouldn’t have ended up like this, unable to even go to college.
Now, she finally has money and leisure.
If she can continue studying, that would be wonderful.
Zhao Junyao laughed.
"You still know how to study, not bad, not bad!"
"Which university do you have your eye on? How about I send you there?"
Xia Ruqing gave him a side glance.
"Talking nonsense again, who do you think you are! Send me?"
"If the grades aren’t good, they won’t accept, okay?"
Zhao Junyao touched his nose, pretending to be calm.
"Well, in that case, just work hard!"
"When you get in, I’ll send you there!"
Xia Ruqing laughed playfully.
"You said it!"
...
After reading for a while, she suddenly asked.
"About my matter, has it been investigated?"
This leg was broken in vain, these bad people shouldn’t escape unpunished!
Speaking seriously, this is attempted murder!
Xia Ruqing isn’t that saintly, if someone wants to kill her, she won’t be thinking about forgiveness.
Forgive them! The hell!
Zhao Junyao’s expression was troubled.
"Still investigating!"
"But that place has no surveillance; even if we know it in our hearts, there’s no evidence!"
He knows this era values proof equally.
However.
Now there’s only the evidence that Shih Wanxin approached her father, along with her communication records with Zhao Junqi.
But these can’t prove the connection to the car accident.
The matter is at a standstill, Zhao Junyao is utterly helpless.
"I’m sorry, it’s my fault!"
Xia Ruqing hurriedly comforted him.
"It’s okay!"
"There’s always a way, if one wishes not to be known, don’t do it in the first place!"
Zhao Junyao nodded, his gaze moving towards the window, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Indeed, there’s always a way.
As long as the other party did it, there can’t be no traces.
He will wait, patiently and slowly.
Just wait and see! All grievances won’t be in vain, all debts must be repaid!
...
Time passed quickly, three months went by in a blink.
Recovering from injury takes a hundred days, she finally rested enough.
Xia Ruqing tried running a few steps on the ground.
Sure enough, no discomfort at the wound.
Tsk tsk! Youth is great! She must be extra careful in the future, never let herself get injured again.
