Chapter 216. Shocking News (2)
Xi Xiaye was startled to hear his words and a flickering light appeared in her eyes. He seemed to be out of himself too as if he was wandering through his old memories. He continued after some silence.
“I’ve been starting to feel weaker since a while ago. I’m afraid that I don’t have much time left. My body isn’t recovering well and my only wish left is that you can make up with your father. Actually, you should be able to sense that he’s never forgotten your mother all these years.”
Xi Jiyang suddenly let out a long sigh. “Amidst this whole conflict, if we were to find someone to blame, I’m afraid it was my fault back then…”
Xi Xiaye studied Xi Jiyang with her quiet eyes, noticing that his old face was starting to show signs of loneliness. She felt sad just by looking at him. After some thought, she replied, “Nope, I’m sure you’ll live much longer.”
“As for Father and Mother, they aren’t willing to tell me about it. Anyway, it’s actually pretty good right now. There’s no need to reopen old wounds again. Moreover, Father…”
“Actually, your father thought about retiring several years back, but I stopped him…”
Retiring?
Xi Xiaye remembered that her father, Xi Mushan’s political career was sailing smoothly, and he had the opportunity to go even further. Although he was not really the best father or husband, Xi Xiaye knew that Xi Mushan was an honest person and a strong-willed man in the political field as well. Even Shen Yue gave him high praise when making an objective comment about him.
Xi Xiaye was stunned. She looked downward without saying anything.
