Chapter 353: Uncle’s Strange Behavior (2)
Ye Tianxin heard the waiter’s words and replied almost inaudibly, “Who is family? Him?”
The waiter realized he was wrong and thought that Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning were a couple, so he rolled his eyes and left.
“Why don’t I just take you as my goddaughter?” Xie Xuning couldn’t help but offer Ye Tianxin.
Ye Tianxin knew that with Xie Xuning’s status, he wouldn’t usually say this casually.
But him saying this at this time made it seem even more ill-intentioned.
“Thank you, Uncle, but I already have a godfather.”
Didn’t she?
Du Juan and Director Jin were together. Du Juan was her godmother, so Director Jin was naturally her godfather.
Why should she recognize another godfather?
Xie Xuning felt very anguished today because the girl didn’t like him.
This girl, who was very much like his wife, despised him very much.
He was starting to doubt his charms.
After the waiter had packed the breakfast, Ye Tianxin took the bag and left. She walked fast. She didn’t want to have another ‘fateful encounter’ with Xie Xuning. She didn’t know what she would say next.
Xie Xuning slowly ate the Goubuli steamed buns. Perhaps it was because time had passed or the person who used to accompany him at breakfast was no longer around.
He could no longer find the familiar feeling of that year.
Xie Xuning left the café and went to take a taxi in the opposite direction of Ye Tianxin.
When he passed an intersection, he heard a slightly hoarse voice in his ears, “You, please stay.”
Xie Xuning stopped and looked at a blind man with an abacus in front of a stall. He took out some cash from his wallet and put it on the blind man’s stall.
“Old man, at your age, you should go to the Civil Affairs Department for subsistence. On such a hot day, you shouldn’t be setting up a stall anymore, lest you suffer a heatstroke.”
The blind man grinned. “Kind people will be blessed. You will soon meet the person you want to see.”
‘Who do I want to meet?’ Xie Xuning asked himself.
The person he wanted to meet was Ye Linlang.
She was his wife.
Unfortunately, the two of them were forever separated from each other.
How could he see her?
“You mean, I’ll die soon?” Xie Xuning clarified.
When the blind man heard Xie Xuning’s question, he knew that this kind-hearted man had misunderstood what he meant.
He stretched out his hand, slowly rubbed the lines on Xie Xuning’s palm, and stretched out his hand to touch Xie Xuning’s facial features.
The blind man had a serious expression on his face. Then, he said, “You have both status and fortune, but 19 years ago, you suffered a tragedy, which traumatized you and caused your marriage to crumble. However, you can rest assured that you two star-crossed lovers will be reunited again.”
Xie Xuning laughed sarcastically and wanted to expose this liar.
However, he once again held back.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be reunited with Linlang.
It’s just that his beloved had already passed away.
To think of being reunited with her was simply a dream... Nothing more than a dream.
“Mister, can you tell me directly when I will see her?”
“My dear, this is a secret not to be revealed.”
Xie Xuning thought about it for a while, then took out several hundred yuan bills from his wallet and put them in front of the stall.
“Mister, you probably don’t know, but I will never see her again.”
She’s dead.
She took her own life because she thought I was already gone.
She...
Tears welled in Xie Xuning’s eyes.
“Mister, what is life? What is death?” The blind man took the hundred-yuan bill, then he added compassionately, “As the saying goes, you have to see people to know that they’re alive, and you have to see the corpse to know that they’re dead.”
When Xie Xuning heard the blind man’s words, his expression stiffened.
Without saying a word, he dashed towards the crowd.
‘You have to see people to know that they’re alive, and you have to see the corpse to know that they’re dead... What does that mean?’ Xie Xuning pondered.
Did that mean Linlang was still alive?
