Chapter 589: Telling Liu Xian the News of Xia Yuan

When Liu Xian spoke, I understood at once; he wanted to know Xia Yuan's news.

It seems he came out without having heard any news about Xia Yuan.

Yes, it's been over ten years; the news of Xia Yuan in Lanling County's city had long vanished.

Looking at Liu Xian, I recalled the scene of Xia Yuan and Liu Xian together.

Xia Yuan was truly beautiful back then.

"You're asking about Sister Xia, right?" I said.

"Yes, just asking about Sister Xia's news; she was a good woman. And what about the child she bore, how is she now?" Liu Xian asked sadly.

I then took out a cigarette,

handed it to Liu Xian,

Liu Xian took it,

I lit it for him,

I took a drag,

then, helplessly, said, "Sister Xia is dead."

"Ah, she's dead—how did she die?" Liu Xian, startled, dropped the cigarette onto the ground.

I pulled out another cigarette for Liu Xian,

"Someone caused her death."

"Who killed her? Tell me—was it that slut Yang Tao?" Liu Xian shouted.

"Not her; it was He Ping who killed her."

"He Ping killed Xia Yuan—what on earth happened?" Liu Xian was confused.

He Ping was also known to Liu Xian.

"It's a long story. Lao Liu Ge, let me tell you this: after your incident, Xia Yuan stayed with me.

We were still doing real estate in Lanling.

We then founded a new company. I let He Ping continue as the legal person. I didn't expect Xia Yuan and He Ping to become so close.

You understand what I mean.

Their being together made company management inconvenient.

There was no other way, so I gave them a sum of money and let them leave the company.

Who could have imagined He Ping's gambling addiction would squander all the money I gave Xia Yuan,

Xia Yuan quarreled with him, and he seized the chance to kill her.

Alas, Sister Xia met a tragic death that way. He Ping was also executed by firing squad.

This incident happened over ten years ago, and few people still live in Lanling County's city. So you can't dig up any news about Xia Yuan," I said sorrowfully.

After I finished speaking, Liu Xian's expression was very complicated,

so complicated that he didn't know what to say,

Liu Xian was silent for a moment, took a drag,

then said, "Sigh, that woman was just too reckless; forget it, let's not mention her. What about the child she gave birth to? Ya Ya must be in her teens now—has that girl been staying with you all this time?"

"Lao Liu Ge, I was just about to tell you this—Ya Ya is your biological daughter.

That's absolutely certain. Back then you doubted the matter between me and Sister Xia.

I can assure you, there was nothing between us.

At that time, in Beishan, after Xia Yuan obtained water from Hama Spring, she rushed toward the county city, intending to bear you a child to keep your heart.

The child was born, but your heart never stayed.

"Lao Liu Ge, we're both at this age now,

I've said everything; in this world, you still have the dearest person,

and that is your beloved daughter Ya Ya,

actually you're quite fortunate."

After I finished, Liu Xian's puzzled face gradually relaxed,

then tears filled his eyes again.

"Brother, is what you said true?"

"It's true, there's no falsehood. It's just that Ya Ya doesn't know you're her biological father. If you don't believe, when Ya Ya comes back, you can have a paternity test between you," I said confidently.

"Ya Ya has returned—where is she now?" Liu Xian asked anxiously.

"She's studying abroad in the United Kingdom; I forgot to tell you. It was Yang Tao who raised Ya Ya. Yang Tao felt indebted to Xia Yuan, so after Xia Yuan's death, she voluntarily took on the responsibility of raising Ya Ya.

Ya Ya has always called Yang Tao 'mom.'

You see, neither of the two women owes you anything.

Xia Yuan gave birth to Ya Ya, Yang Tao raised Ya Ya.

How wonderful."

At this moment, Liu Xian was already weeping profusely,

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have beaten her. Ah, that's all there is to it."

"Fine, stop blaming yourself; if you hit her, you hit her."

"Do you have Ya Ya's contact info? I want to call her right now. I miss her, want to tell her her father is still alive, she's my biological daughter," Liu Xian said, crying.

"Do you have Ya Ya's contact information? I want to call Ya Ya right now. I miss her, I want to tell her that her father is still alive, that she is my biological daughter." Liu Xian said, crying.

One must know that having one's own family in this world is more important than anything.

One must know that in this world there are still one's own relatives, which is more important than anything.

"I don't have it, Yang Tao has it; I'll go ask her. As long as she gives it, I'll tell you the contact information." I said, taking a drag of my cigarette.

"I hit her and then asked her for 500,000; she definitely won't give it to me."

"Like this, Brother Jianqiang, I don't want this 500,000 IOU either; give it to Yang Tao."

"At my age, what's the point of wanting this money?"

"I only hope to see Ya Ya once in my lifetime; then I'll be satisfied."

"Then I'll have no regrets."

"Let me see what my precious daughter has grown into,"

"She's already grown into a young lady,"

"Who does she look like—Xia Yuan or me?" Liu Xian muttered.

"Hang onto this 500,000 IOU; it was hard to obtain." I didn't take the IOU.

"No, Brother Jianqiang, I can't take it; if I really took this IOU, Yang Tao definitely wouldn't let Ya Ya see me. Give the IOU to Yang Tao and say a lot of good things in front of her."

"Please intercede for me."

"I can give up everything,"

"All I want is to hear Ya Ya's voice and have her call me 'dad' once. Brother Jianqiang, I beg you."

"If it really won't work, I'll kneel down for you." Liu Xian said through tears.

"Then he was about to kneel before me."

"I quickly helped Liu Xian up,"

"Old Liu, don't do this; I'll hold onto the IOU, and I'll figure out a way for you to talk to Ya Ya. I'll handle things with Yang Tao."

"Then thank you, Brother Jianqiang."

"Liu Xian tightly gripped my hand and said through tears."

"Just then, my phone rang,"

"I saw it was Yang Tao's call,"

"I pressed answer, and Yang Tao's voice came through,"

"\"Jianqiang, why haven't you come out yet? Are you still stuck in that godforsaken place? Hurry up, Li Ming and I are waiting for you. \""

"\"Okay, Yang Tao, I'm on my way. \" I said and hung up."

"I said to Liu Xian, \"Old Liu, as long as I find Ya Ya's contact information, I'll give it to you so you can talk to her. All right? \""

"Liu Xian nodded,"

"I nodded back at Liu Xian, then quickly left the guesthouse hotel,"

"Even after I'd gone far away, I could still hear Liu Xian muttering,"

"\"Ya Ya, my precious, how are you? I miss you, my good daughter—when will you come back…? \""

"The deepest feeling in the world is familial love; this blood-related bond truly can never be severed."

"I finally managed to catch up to Li Ming's car."

"I opened the car door and got in; Yang Tao quickly said, \"Jianqiang, let's hurry and leave this godforsaken place. \""

"Sigh, I've been beaten twice here."

"Damn, it's so discouraging."

"Li Ming then said, \"Brother, why did you take so long to come? What did you talk about with that old man? We're going back to the Zaocheng Grand Hotel. What a pain—I never expected to run into that dead old guy. \""

"Hearing Li Ming say that, I just smiled,"

"That dead old guy is exactly the person you most wanted to meet back then."

"I said, \"All right, let's go back to the Zaocheng Grand Hotel. \""

"Sigh, I didn't expect to encounter Liu Xian,"

"Yang Tao, to be honest, Liu Xian is not a bad person; in the past he's helped out a lot."

"\"What a pain—don't mention him again. Damn, I'll never come to Lanling again. Every visit is torture, \""

"\"It actually made me owe a 500,000 IOU. That old immortal bastard. \""

"\"I really want to slap him twice. After following him for so long, taking some money is only fair. \" Yang Tao said indignantly."
