Xie Yunlin chuckled and did not comnt on the remark, "Grandmother, only when a person pays the price will they rember and learn from their mistakes, truly nd their ways. If Grandpa lets you off easily this ti, there could be more incidents involving Hei Xiaodie or Huang Xiaodie next ti, and you might commit an even more serious mistake. Only by accepting punishnt will you have a sense of reverence, and dare not make mistakes easily in the future. This is a lesson even children understand."
"You... you..." Senior Mada Xie’s lips trembled and she couldn’t utter a complete sentence, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to hide.
She was old enough to be at death’s door, yet she was being lectured by her grandson, two generations younger.
Not to ntion, she couldn’t find the words to refute him.
Xie Yunlin, having said his piece, fell silent.
Actually, in this family, he and Xie Jinfei lived awkwardly because their status was not legitimate.
His grandmother indeed cared for them, but she cared more for her two daughters who could talk sweetly and her biological son.
Her gifting his mother’s keepsakes to her granddaughter was the best proof.
During their upbringing, Senior Mada Xie gave them many grievances, but they understood what it ans to "live under soone else’s roof" and were grateful for Senior Master Xie’s kindness in adopting them, choosing not to dwell on it.
But this ti, he wouldn’t endure in silence.
His brother almost lost his life!
For other matters, he could be unconcerned, but if it pertained to his brother’s safety, whoever touched him must pay a painful price, no exceptions!
Senior Master Xie looked at Xie Yunlin, both gratified and saddened.
He was gratified that Xie Yunlin appeared steadier and possessed more of Gu Junzhu’s deanor.
He once envied Senior Master Gu for having such an outstanding successor as Gu Junzhu.
Now, he also had one.
He was saddened because he had focused too much on nurturing Xie Yunlin’s abilities, neglecting emotional connection.
He could see that Xie Yunlin felt gratitude more than affection towards him and this family.
This was his failure.
He felt regret.
However, fortunately, he still had ti.
If he was lucky, he could live for another ten or twenty years.
He hoped to cultivate a deep bond with Xie Yunlin during his remaining years.
Though he had many children and grandchildren throughout his life, ultimately only one was truly remarkable, and he didn’t want re superficial harmony with him.
Senior Mada Xie wanted to say sothing but was sternly interrupted, "Enough, I have decided. Either go to the southern nursing ho or divorce, choose one yourself!"
Senior Mada Xie looked at Senior Master Xie’s cold and stern face and instinctively shrank back. Monts later, her face was ashen with despair, "I... I’ll go to the southern nursing ho..."
"Go pack your things," Senior Master Xie said, "I’ll have Wenhui take you there tomorrow."
Senior Mada Xie stood up shakily and staggered towards the upstairs.
Xie Jinfei felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, but he remained silent.
This was the result his big brother had managed to secure for him with difficulty. If he were to soften at this mont and plead for his grandmother, it would be undermining his big brother’s efforts.
If he did that, he’d be really despicable.
"Alright, it’s late, let’s start dinner." Senior Master Xie called in the butler and instructed him to tell the kitchen to start serving dinner.
During the al, Senior Master Xie said to Xie Jinfei, "Xiao Fei, have a word with the Si Family, see when they have ti, and have them bring your fiancée over to visit. You’ve already gotten engaged with Si Duomian, yet as a grandfather—no, as an uncle, I’ve yet to et her, it’s really improper."
