He couldn't even say the words of apology to Xia Xingcheng.
Thinking like this, Xia Zhengsong couldn't help but straighten his expression quickly, and said to Xia Xingcheng: "It's been so long, I don't know if these are to your taste, please eat some quickly."
Xia Xingcheng nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and the scenes of the past slowly replayed in her mind.
It was not that her father had not loved her since she was a child. His love for her was no less than that of others.
But all this changed after his father brought back mother and son Su Qing and Xia Xingyan.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but force herself not to think about the past things and quickly calm down.
Xia Xingcheng had a very complicated meal, but it was very sweet.
In her memory, it seemed that she had not had such a sumptuous lunch for a long time.
It was so long that she lost count.
Xia Zhengsong's mood at this time was also very complicated. Looking at Xia Xingcheng and her very similar eyebrows to his mother's, he always felt like there was a thorn in his heart.
He has seen the arrogance and jealousy of his two daughters since he was a child. He said he likes them the most, but Xia Xingcheng is actually the one he is most satisfied with.
If it hadn't been for that incident five years ago, he wouldn't have sent his daughter abroad to suffer in a fit of anger.
Thinking of the incident five years ago, Xia Xingcheng was plotted against, and it was all because of Xia Xingyan, Xia Zhengsong couldn't help but feel a flash of guilt in his heart.
He opened his mouth, but the words of sorry were not uttered after all.
Xia Xingcheng put down her chopsticks, already understanding what her father wanted to say to her.
So she couldn't help but laugh, and then hurriedly said: "Don't say anything anymore. Everything has passed. It is useless to talk about it now."
She still couldn't forgive her father for what he had done to her, but she had gradually let go.
After all, it had already happened, and even if she continued to ask hysterical questions, nothing could be changed.
Besides, this is her father. Even if she resents him, she can't do it now.
When Xia Zhengsong heard that she could be so generous, he felt extremely guilty for a moment. He could only let out a long sigh, which showed a sense of powerlessness.
Xia Xingcheng knew that her father looked guilty, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she didn't say much on her face.
"It's been so long. I don't mind it anymore. In other words, if I do mind it, it doesn't matter anymore. You don't have to feel guilty." Xia Xingcheng comforted her calmly.
When Xia Zhengsong heard what she said, his face suddenly lit up, and he quickly said: "Xingcheng, do you really think so? If you think so, you will be very happy as a father."
Xia Xingcheng suddenly became indifferent: "You are my father, yes, but you are no longer worthy to be my father."
She has already paid back what was due, so now the two owe nothing.
Before Xia Zhengsong could feel happy, when he heard his daughter's words, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Also, he has done so many wrong things, how can he be qualified to ask his daughter to forgive her now
Thinking like this, Xia Zhengsong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, glanced at Xia Xingcheng guiltily, and said nothing so far.
Xia Xingcheng lowered her eyes and played with the cup in her hands. Her lowered eyes made it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
After a while, she spoke softly: "For so many years, I have been wanting to know something. Can you tell me now?"
Xia Zhengsong was confused: "What happened?"
Although he asked this question, for some reason, he felt very wary and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath, and finally, as if she had made a huge decision, she gritted her teeth and said, "How did my mother die back then?"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xia Zhengsong's expression changed immediately, but he quickly covered it up. He coughed lightly and said: "Xingcheng, why do you suddenly ask this matter? I'm not Have you already told me that your mother suddenly fell ill and passed away suddenly?"
Xia Xingcheng would have believed this when she was a child, but after so many years, she already had doubts when she looked at her father's attitude and behavior towards her.
Mother's death may not be that simple after all!
Moreover, his father's reaction now can explain everything.
When Xia Xingcheng thought of this, her face suddenly turned cold. She couldn't help but look at the man in front of her coldly: "My mother had always been in good health. How could she suddenly become ill and die? What kind of disease? Why did she die so quickly? There was nothing. Explain?"
Facing Xia Xingcheng's sharp questioning, Xia Zhengsong was shocked, but he forced himself to calmly look at the woman in front of him.
"Xingcheng, so many years have passed since this matter. What's the point of us continuing to pursue this matter here? It will only make your mother Izumi uneasy. Listen to me, don't think about your mother anymore. She's dead."
Although Xia Zhengsong said this, for some reason, he did not dare to look at Xia Xingcheng's eyebrows =.
This inevitably made Xia Xingcheng more suspicious, but he also knew that in the current situation, it would not be that easy to get these things from his father's mouth.
Maybe Su Qing knows something...
Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but laugh apologetically: "What my father said is right. I think I must be too mentally sensitive recently. Come to think of it, I haven't seen my stepmother and Yanyan for a long time. I have time. You must go and see for yourself.”
As Xia Xingcheng said this, she secretly observed Xia Zhengsong's expression. Sure enough, when he heard that she was going to see Su Qing, Xia Zhengsong's expression changed slightly.
Although this was a very small and subtle change, it was still noticed by Xia Xingcheng.
Xia Zhengsong looked a little unnatural and tried to comfort him: "Xingcheng, you also know that your stepmother has never liked you very much. You should listen to your father's advice. I will go and talk to your stepmother. This matter still needs to be resolved." It’s better to think long-term.”
Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but feel a little funny that the words came to this point: "I just went to see my stepmother and nothing else. Why do you seem to be so wary of me?"
Xia Zhengsong was forced to be at a loss. At this time, he couldn't help but gradually lose his patience, and said impatiently: "Okay, stop talking, just take care of yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
