However, he could not believe that he actually allowed others to cause the death of his sister. The first time when he was young and the second time, after he had grown up, leaving Qingsi to be strayed in this cruel world, being bullied and belittled by others.

When he thought of all this, Xia Anlans heart could not find peace.

After being involved in politics for so many years, he thought that he could not experience emotions anymorenot joy, anger, or even sadness. He could face anyone logically and rationally.

This time, however, guilt and regret tore his heart and made it ache whenever he thought about it.

They were too latefor a good forty years.

Father, you two should go back first, Xia Anlan said to his father, Ill stay here.

No way. You have so many things to do, and Ive no way to rest even if I go back, Grandpa Xia said. I can just stay here and look after your mother. Weve been together for so long that I panic if I cant see her. Rushuang, you should go back too. Youve been up all night. Old Xia noted the worried expression of the ward supervisor.

All right. I have a meeting to attend in a moment. If anything happens just call me anytime. Ill come back immediately.

Thenwhy dont I stay here? Yan Qingsi suggested from the side.

You should go back with me, Qingsi, Xia Anlan instantly replied the moment she finished her sentence, You havent fully recovered, and the trip here was tough. Take a half days rest and you can come back here tomorrow, just so that you wont catch a fever again.

Yan Qingsi nodded. Ohokay.

Father, Qingsi and I will take our leave first, Xia Anlan told Grandpa Xia.

Grandfather, IIll be going off first, Yan Qingsi added hurriedly.

Grandpa Xia nodded his head. Rushuang, go with Anlan, he told Mrs. You.

Sure, Mrs. You replied. Ill make something when I get back, and Ill come back in the afternoon.

Go on then.

Mrs. You clutched onto Yan Qingsis hand. Qingsi, just think of us as your family now that youre here. No need to be so restrained around us, she said softly, Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia are good people. Theres no such thing as status nonsense here. If you need anything, just tell me.

Yan Qingsi kept thinking of You Xi when she saw Mrs. You. She forced out a smile.

No matter what, Mrs. Yous words always made her uncomfortable.

She acted like a host entertaining her guest; it made Qingsi feel like she was leeching off their resources. She shook her head. Perhaps she was thinking too much.

Oh, right. I think you know our You Xi. Ive heard him mention your name a few times before, but Ive never seen your photo. It would be great if I had seen one sooner.

Yan Qingsi extricated her hand gently. Im sorry, but I dont know who youre talking about, she said, smiling. I dont thinkI know that person

Mrs. You was taken aback. Eh? You dont know him?

No. Yan Qingsi maintained a small smile on her face.

ThenI probably remembered wrongly. Lets just get onto the car first. Mrs. You wanted to drag Yan Qingsi into the car when they were before it.

However, they never expected Xia Anlans voice to chime in, Qingsi, come here. Come ride in the same car as your uncle.

Oh. Coming. Yan Qingsi gave a nod toward Mrs. You, then sped off toward Xia Anlans car.

Compared to Mrs. You, Yan Qingsi felt a little less suffocated when she was with Xia Anlan.

In contrast, Xia Anlan gave her a sense of reassurance.

Xia Anlan patted Yan Qingsis head. Lets go.

Yan Qingsi bent over and got onto the car. Xia Anlan talked a bit to his secretary before following after.

Xia Anlans car slowly drifted off. Mrs. You stood in front of her car alone, watching the disappearing car. Desolation was etched into her expression. Uncle she whispered.
