Chapter 146: No objection to severing ties with Xie Wanying

Huang Meiling's tears streamed down her face: "This is my first child. I've spoiled him since he was little. Was I really wrong? Have we not educated him enough over the years?"

They couldn't accept that the child they had nurtured since childhood had turned out like this.

Xie Wenyuan was so angry that he could barely speak.

“If he or she were truly in financial difficulty, taking the money would be fine, but why did she interfere with the letters? She even stopped Yingying’s letter to Zhiyan about the two children. We didn’t know there were two more children in the family all these years. How could she do such a heinous thing? And she kept it from us for so long.”

Seeing that the two were getting more and more agitated, Shu Ying was afraid that their health would be affected, so she placed one hand on Huang Meiling's tiger's mouth.

"Mom, please don't be angry. Now we know what happened. It's better than being kept in the dark all along."

Xie Wenyuan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, not daring to look Shu Ying in the eye.

“Yingying, I know this has hurt you a lot, but it is the father’s fault if the son is not taught properly. We will go back to Wanying and seek justice for you. What belongs to you, we will never let her have it all. But I also have a request.”

As parents, they bear a great responsibility for their daughter's current state. It is perfectly reasonable for Shu Ying to do whatever he wants with her, but as Xie Wanying's father, he has to consider things more carefully.

Shu Ying looked at Xie Zhiyan with some difficulty. She was unwilling to take this matter too seriously and then let it go easily.

Seeing that she remained silent, Xie Wenyuan quickly assured her, "I didn't mean anything by it. I certainly won't let that unfilial daughter off easily. Even if you want to sever ties with her in the future, we have no objection. But she's already married, and she has to hold her head high in her husband's family. Can we please not make this matter too big and put her in a difficult position?"

Fang Deshan is a man of some standing, and if this matter really blows up, it will not only ruin Xie Wanying's reputation, but also her backbone in her husband's family, which she will never be able to stand up for herself in her lifetime.

Shu Ying smiled slightly, "Mom and Dad, the misunderstanding between Zhiyan and me has been cleared up. It's up to you to decide what to do with my sister. Things that can be handled privately don't need to be made public. After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public."

Xie Wenyuan nodded, feeling deeply ashamed. "Thank you."

With the acupressure applied by Shuying, Huang Meiling finally felt some relief, but she couldn't sit still in the hospital.

“We’ll go there right now. We’ll definitely find out the reason from your sister. Whether she has her reasons or not, we’ll give you an explanation.”

Shu Ying glanced at the sky outside and stopped the two people who were about to turn around and leave.

“Mom and Dad, it’s already so dark outside. You’ve been on the road for so long. Don’t make things difficult for yourselves tonight. Besides, going so late will inevitably attract a lot of attention. Why don’t we go tomorrow morning? You and Dad should go back and rest first. We’re worried about you two in your current state.”

Huang Meiling glanced at Xie Wenyuan, and after a brief discussion, the two nodded in agreement.

"How about this, you go home and rest tonight. Your father and I will stay with you at the hospital. It's easier for the two of us than for you to go alone. Besides, we have two children at home. We've been so busy lately, and your parents feel bad for you."

Shu Ying linked arms with Huang Meiling, bringing the two closer together. Since her mother's passing, she had never had a female elder who cared for her so much.

“Mom, I can manage in the hospital by myself. Zhiyan is much better now, and there’s only one bed here. You and Dad can’t rest here by yourselves. I can handle everything by myself, so you and Dad don’t need to worry anymore.”

Xie Zhiyan echoed, "Mom, I don't get up at night, and I don't really need anyone to take care of me here. You and Dad just got back, so you should go back and rest."

The two elders are getting on in years, and they can't really get proper rest in a place like a hospital.

Xie Wenyuan was about to say something more when Xie Zhiyan stopped them in time.

"I'll be discharged in a few days, so having so many people here is just a bother. You can come back tomorrow."

Ultimately, the two couldn't persuade Xie Zhiyan. Huang Meiling held Shu Ying's hand, knowing that the young couple definitely had more to say, so she stopped insisting.

"Then we'll head back tonight. If Yingying needs anything, just have someone let us know."

Shu Ying saw them to the door of the ward. "Mom and Dad, please drive carefully on your way back."

The streetlights were still on, but Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan were not in high spirits.

Her voice was a little hoarse, "Wen Yuan, did we really do something wrong?"

They devoted themselves entirely to their careers, yet were absent when their children needed guidance and education the most.

Xie Wanying's current state is something none of them wanted to see, but they certainly bear the majority of the responsibility.

Xie Wenyuan walked heavily down the road, feeling as if he had been punched in the heart.

"Let's not think about these things for now. Let's see how things go tomorrow. Wanying went too far this time. Although we love both of them, Zhiyan has never caused us any trouble. He's not alone now. Before, we thought it was insignificant for a boy to suffer some grievances, but it's different now. He's married now, and we need to put the truth in the open."

He couldn't accept that his daughter wanted his son to die; they should have been the closest people in the world.

Huang Meiling shook her head sadly. "Neither you nor I are like that. Our family has never had this kind of personality for generations. I don't know who Wanying takes after. I'm just worried that she will go astray and end up hurting herself. I can't understand what Zhiyan did to wrong her that would make her feel this way."

Xie Wenyuan remained silent. Only Xie Wanying herself probably knew why she did this.

“I noticed that Yingying has lost a lot of weight and her former liveliness has also disappeared. People who become mothers always become more composed, but such an outstanding person like her should not be buried in marriage.”

She is different from others. Shu Ying has a high level of education and has studied abroad. All her skills are meant to treat patients.

"If she can take good care of Zhiyan, she can also take good care of others. If Yingying really works in the hospital, she might become the youngest and most promising doctor."
