Chapter 449 - 430: Revealing The Truth-I
Mr. Xie came back to his home with an inexplicable emotions. He went toward where his family had gathered, seeing his wife coming toward him with a questionable look. Seeing that he didn’t reply, she finally pressed, "What happened?" demanded Mrs. Xie. "How did it goes with grandmother, did you manage to visit her?"
"No," Mr. Xie replied to see his wife frown. He has more concern, however, and suspicions since Li Lian pointed the truth which he wasn’t able to see. He was aware his grandmother had bad eyesight that she needed a glasses to read, then why would she read in the stairs with the kind of eyesight?
"I want you two to answer me truthfully," Mr. Xie said, his eyes moved toward Xie Hue Lin whose face was still pale after shock which cause him to feel that maybe he was wrong to doubt them. Unable to shake what Li Lian had said to him, he decided to clear the confusion that he has once and for all, "When grandmother fall was you two near there?"
Xie Hue Lin’s hand clenched tighter, her eyes wide but she stared at the floor so Mrs. Xie wasn’t able to see her expression. On the other hand, Mrs. Xie was shocked, she frowned her brows deeper, "Did you hear yourself, dear? You are doubting that we were the one who pushed mother? How could you!"
"No, I was only asking whether you were near," Mr. Xie continued his question, receiving his wife’s anger.
"Enough! You cannot do anything against Li Lian and now you are blaming us for such a heinous thing like pushing mother from the stairs? I know you are shaken but you are going out of line!" Mrs. Xie didn’t wait for her husband’s words, leaving after taking Xie Hue Lin with her to Xie Hue Lin’s room.
Xie Hue Lin was shaken after her father’s doubt. Her hand wring together when Mrs. Xie took a hold of her shoulders, "Don’t worry Hue Lin, you did nothing. Your father didn’t know about anything and I have made certain no one was near us when it happen."
"But father," Xie Hue Lin drawled, seeing her mother shaking her head.
"No, in the first place it was your grandmother’s bad luck and her nosiness that lead her to fall from the stairs. She deserves what was coming for her. You are not wrong, my daughter," Mrs. Xie convinced Xie Hue Lin who was shaken.
"What about you then?" asked Xie Hue Lin, "Mother if father found out about this, you will go to jail!" She exclaimed in horror, revealing what others didn’t know and the truth of the culprit who had pushed Senior Mrs. Xie was in fact not her but her mother.
Mrs. Xie looked at her back with darkness thickening in her eyes.
