Chapter 706: Her or Tong Yannovelbin
Furthermore, Elder Shen had only just decided to accept Tong Yan, reneging on his words now would appear to be very cruel,wouldn't it?
Elder Shen started to hesitate. Xinghe was quiet; she waited patiently for his answer. She didn’t force him because the decisionlaid with him. No matter his decision, she would honor it.
However, if he chose to side with Tong Yan then she would have to find another way to search for her mother. She wouldn’t eventell the Shen family the truth because it was no longer necessary. The Lin family had caused such suffering to her mother, shewouldn't forgive them no matter what.
Tong Yan was part of the Lin family no matter how hard she denied it. Just as a mountain couldn’t host two tigers, there couldonly be one of them remaining. It was either Xinghe or Tong Yan. This might be unfair to the rest of the Shen family that didn’tknow anything, but for Xinghe, if Elder Shen chose Tong Yan, it would seem like he chose the Lin family over the chance offinding his own daughter and Xinghe’s mother.
The atmosphere in the study went stale for quite some time before Elder Shen finally came to a decision. “Even though | still feelrelated to that pair of mother and daughter, they have dominated my love for several decades; that should be more than enough.My real daughter is still out there, her fate unknown, | cannot let her continue to suffer any longer. Therefore, | promise tocooperate with you.” Elder Shen sighed.
Xinghe raised her pair of shiny black eyes. “You sure?”
Elder Shen nodded firmly. “Yes, | am! | will cooperate fully with you, | will cut ties from them both. I’ve realized how naive | was. |thought | could keep both, but now | really see that is not possible.”
If he did find his daughter, it was obvious that Shen Ru and Tong Yan were going to put her through a hard time. His daughterhad already suffered through decades of agony, he couldn’t put her through more family drama. Even if Shen Ru and Tong Yansuddenly turned over a new leaf, his daughter would also feel awkward around them because they belonged to the family thatdid all those terrible things to her. Therefore, the only way to really treat his daughter well was to cut all ties with Shen Ru andTong Yan or else it was only a disaster waiting to happen.
After confirming his thoughts, Xinghe’s eyes softened multiple degrees. “Okay, thank you for believing in me. | promise to fulfilmy end of the bargain as soon as possible.”
Xinghe stood up and said, “Grandfather, | will come visit again soon, | will definitely stay for dinner next time.” She knew it wasonly going to make things worse if she stayed.
“Okay, come find me if you need anything.” Elder Shen didn’t press for her to stay because he had something that needed to bedone, and it was to crush Tong Yan’s wishful thinking.
Xinghe nodded and led Ali out. When they passed the living room, their eyes met those of Tong Yan and Chui Ying.
Xinghe glanced lightly at them and left without saying any words.
Tong Yan suddenly stood up to gloat.“Xia Xinghe, you're leaving already?Why don't oy, stay For dinfler” Didn'tmy, grand ask the help to preparemany delicious dishes for you, howcan you disappoint him like that?”The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
