Chapter 149 - 150: Her Biological Mother Committed Suicide
When it came to Xia Yangyang’s biological mother, Xia Weiwei suddenly became calm.
She knew that Xia Yangyang’s real mother and her own mother were both renowned stars in the entertainment circle.
Xia Liangdong later married Tan Zhen, but at the same time, he did not cut ties with Liu Ruyan.
Xia Yangyang was born two years before Xia Weiwei.
However, Liu Ruyan silently endured for ten years, only becoming openly involved with Xia Liangdong after Tan Zhen’s death.
Xia Weiwei said, “But I cannot wait ten years.”
Liu Ruyan responded, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you walk my path. Within a year, Xia Yangyang will certainly divorce Gu Qichen, and at that time, the person taking her place will be you.”
Xia Weiwei’s heart leapt with joy: “Mom, do you have a plan?”
Liu Ruyan replied, “You don’t need to worry about that. What you need to do now is dress up well for today’s visit to the Gu family and leave a good impression on the elders.”
Xia Weiwei immediately cheered up and went to dress and put on makeup.
Once they were in the car, Xia Liangdong was in a pleasant mood: “I didn’t expect Yangyang to actually marry the Gu family’s eldest son. It’s truly an unexpected turn of events, but it fully illustrates my daughter’s discerning taste in choosing a husband.”
Liu Ruyan replied blandly, “True to form as your daughter, she got married four months ago and didn’t tell her family. If the media hadn’t exposed this, who knows how long she would have kept it hidden. It’s one thing for her to exclude me, but now she doesn’t even respect you, her biological father.”
Xia Liangdong’s previously delighted expression suddenly darkened.
He indeed couldn’t comprehend Yangyang’s secret marriage.
But Xia Liangdong still said, “Perhaps, she had her reasons.”
Liu Ruyan said, “What kind of difficulties can a twenty-year-old child have? It’s just that she can’t stand me, her stepmother. Tell me, in all these ten years, where have I wronged her? I know she blames her biological mother’s depression and suicide on me, projecting all her anger onto me. But she doesn’t realize that it was her mother’s own doing, she brought it on herself…”
“Enough, let’s not bring up the past,” interrupted Xia Liangdong.
Xia Liangdong’s face instantly changed when he mentioned his deceased ex-wife.
Xia Liangdong said, “Yangyang still doesn’t know that her mother committed suicide. So, never say these words in front of her.”
Seeing Xia Liangdong genuinely angry, Liu Ruyan wisely shut her mouth, but finally said quietly, “When would I ever say such things in front of the child? I’m more than happy that Yangyang married into the Gu family. I was just a little disappointed because she hid her marriage. But as long as you and Yangyang have a good father-daughter relationship, I really don’t mind being misunderstood by her all my life.”
Xia Liangdong said to comfort her, “You’ve suffered a lot over the years.”
Gu Qichen’s car arrived at the Gu mansion just a step before Xia Liangdong’s.
The butler opened the door, and the maid prepared shoes for the two.
Once they entered, a golden retriever eagerly pounced on them.
Xia Yangyang jumped in fright, and Gu Qichen gave a command: “Oscar, sit.”
The golden retriever obediently sat.
Xia Yangyang remembered the golden retriever. During the old master’s birthday banquet, Gong Xue’er and she had sneaked in and were discovered because of this dog.
The golden retriever kept wagging its tail at Xia Yangyang.
Gu Qichen said, “Oscar seems to like you a lot.”
Xia Yangyang reached out to pet Oscar’s head, and it lay on the ground, joyfully wagging its tail.
The butler said, “The two of you should come in quickly. The master and the young lady are in the study.”
Yangyang became nervous again..
