The girl was like a fish thrown on the shore. She struggled violently and let out a whimpering cry.
Ye Cheng bit his lower lip hard and clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead popped out and he was covered in cold sweat.
Grandpa Ye, who was originally a little suspicious of the girl's identity, became less suspicious when he saw Ye Cheng's appearance. However, he didn't see the girl's face with his own eyes, so he felt uneasy after all and asked: "Xiao Cheng, you're not lying.
Me? Is this Zhong Lingsu’s daughter?”
Ye Cheng took a deep breath and tried his best to control himself, but his voice still couldn't stop trembling, "Yes... yes!"
"Why don't you take off her mask?"
"I'm afraid that she will find out our identity, Xiao Ran... is not easy to mess with..."
The old man thought for a moment and felt that what Ye Cheng said was reasonable. He was about to die and could not leave Xiao Ran, a powerful rival, to his grandson!
"Then you swear! If you dare to lie to me, I will die badly!"
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment. Under Grandpa Ye's gaze, he raised his right hand helplessly. The veins on the back of his hand bulged out, and his lower lip was bitten with blood. "I swear, she is the daughter of Xiao Ran and Zhong Lingsu.
The eldest lady of the family...I swear!"
Grandpa Ye breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, "The physical pain will be spared. You can let someone destroy her! Only if you destroy her, I won't worry about you rekindling the old relationship with her after I die."
."
"Yes, Grandpa!" Ye Cheng took another deep breath and made a gesture.
Someone lowered the curtain on the glass wall, and a moment later, the girl's uncontrollable screams could be heard from the other side of the glass wall.
Ye Cheng tightly closed his eyes, his temples were beating bulgingly, his body was shaking like chaff, and big drops of sweat dripped down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
Grandpa Ye examined him for a while and found that he had no more doubts. He waved his hand and ordered someone to send him back to the ward.
That night, the old man passed away with endless regrets and concerns...
At dusk the day after Grandpa Ye Cheng passed away, Xiao Huanhuan hummed softly and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Ye Cheng lying beside her bed.
His face was haggard, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were blood red. He was looking straight at her without blinking.
She felt a pain in her heart and reached out to touch his haggard cheek, "Are you okay?"
"Huanhuan..." he sobbed, "Grandpa is gone...Grandpa is gone...Huanhuan...I have nothing...nothing..."
yes!
He has nothing left!
There is no grandfather, and there is no beloved girl!
Xiao Huanhuan endured the pain in her neck and sat up. She couldn't bear to push him away, so she could only hug his trembling body, "Ye Cheng, everyone has birth, old age, illness and death. This is a natural law. We can't change it. Take care of yourself."
Grandpa Ye is very knowledgeable about your body, and he doesn’t want you to be so sad and depressed."
Xiao Huanhuan knew how pale and empty her comforting words were, because she knew that no words could help at this moment. Only time could slowly heal the pain in Ye Cheng's heart.
Holding his beloved girl in his arms, Ye Cheng felt hurt, painful, grateful, and most of all, ashamed.
He lied to grandpa!
The one who was destroyed was indeed the daughter of Xiao Ran and Zhong Lingsu, but it was not Xiao Huanhuan, but... Xiao Yingrou!
He was forced to a dead end by his grandfather, so he tried to win in a desperate situation, and thought of a way to make Li Daitao freeze.
As far as he knew, Xiao Ran had always liked the adopted daughter named Xiao Yingrou, and was not close to Xiao Huanhuan, his biological daughter. So when Xiao Huanhuan was seven years old, she left her hometown and left the Xiao family and went abroad to live with her grandfather.
