Chapter 1299: Chapter 1298: Knowing
Xia Tiantian loves to lie, so Ling Fei feels she really can’t teach her.
“Whatever happens, happens, anyway, this bad girl can’t be taught. Ling Fei, let’s go, let her mom hire another tutor!”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he pulled Ling Fei, ready to leave. Xia Tiantian was still rubbing her sore butt that had been slapped twice by Ye Qiu, not expecting Ye Qiu to ignore her now.
When Ye Qiu and Ling Fei walked out of the room, they bumped into Xia Lan who was returning.
“Teacher Ye, you’re here?”
“Miss Xia, now that Xia Tiantian loves to lie and deceive us, we can’t teach her. You should hire another tutor!” Ye Qiu said directly.
Xia Lan and the nanny were taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Ye Qiu was saying.
“Now she has a character problem. This is not a learning issue anymore.”
Ye Qiu pulled Ling Fei and left.
Ling Fei looked at Xia Tiantian inside the room, she originally wanted to say something, but now she doesn’t know how to teach. Out of all the tutoring students, Xia Tiantian is the hardest to teach.
Just as Xia Lan wanted to say something, Ye Qiu and Ling Fei had already left.
On the elevator ride down, Ling Fei asked, “You won’t really ignore Xia Tiantian, right?”
“Of course not, she’s in her rebellious phase now, indeed a bit hard to teach, but I want her to calm down for a few days, let her realize her mistake, and then we can address it.”
Thinking about Li Fei, Ye Qiu still felt somewhat sorry for Xia Lan and Xia Tiantian.
Of course, maybe this is fate!
When Ling Fei heard Ye Qiu say that, she finally felt relieved.
Getting up in the car, Ye Qiu drove away, heading out of the community, while Xia Tiantian hurriedly chased out, realizing Ye Qiu had already gone far.
Xia Tiantian thought Ye Qiu truly didn’t want her, and suddenly started crying for reasons unknown.
“I want Dad, I want Dad!”
Only then did Xia Tiantian realize she hadn’t seen Li Fei for a long time. She didn’t know where her father had gone, why he hadn’t seen her for so long, or why he hadn’t called.
“Mom, I want Dad, why hasn’t he seen me for so long?”
Xia Lan’s heart felt stabbed. She’d hidden the truth for so long and didn’t know if she should continue to do so?
“Your dad went abroad for a study visit, he’ll be back in a while.”
“I don’t believe you, you’re lying to me too, why say I lie to you? I want to see Dad, I want to call him!” Xia Tiantian wanted to call Li Fei, but no one answered from the other side.
Seeing her daughter’s state, Xia Lan could only hug her and say, “Tiantian, take a day off tomorrow, and I’ll take you to see your dad!”
For some reason, Xia Tiantian had a bad premonition because she noticed her mother started crying too.
…
Ye Qiu drove back to the outside of the Normal University, saying, “Go back and rest early!”
“What about you?”
“I’m going back to rest too.”
After letting Ling Fei get out of the car, Ye Qiu drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community. When he returned, he didn’t see his parents or sister, but his phone rang, and it was a call from Xia Lan.
“Miss Xia, how’s Tiantian?”
“She’s been crying all this time to see Li Fei, she might suspect something happened to her dad. It’s been so long without seeing him, so I plan to take her to the cemetery tomorrow.”
“Then take her, it’s better for her to know sooner rather than later. Xia Tiantian is not mature yet, still very naive and rebellious.”
“Dr. Ye, I understand. I’ll take her tomorrow to help her mentally prepare.”
After Ye Qiu hung up with Xia Lan, he went upstairs, turned on the computer prepared to play a game to see if Xia Tiantian would come online, but noticed she hadn’t, and Li Shen and the others were likely busy with company matters. Ye Qiu didn’t play and went to take a bath and resumed cultivation.
Early the next day, when Xia Tiantian and Xia Lan got up, their eyes seemed red and swollen; both hadn’t slept well the previous night.
The nanny also felt something was off.
“Madam, do you know about Mr. Li?”
“You come along too.”
As they went downstairs, the three got into the car. Xia Lan first drove to a flower shop to buy a bouquet, then drove towards that cemetery on the outskirts.
If they were heading to the hospital, Xia Tiantian and the nanny might feel better, but not expecting to head to the outskirts, Xia Lan didn’t have a good feeling either.
“Mom, tell me, what’s really going on with Dad?”
“Tiantian, it’s not that I want to lie to you, but I fear you can’t handle it. Your dad got into an accident half a year ago; he’s gone to another world.”
Last night, Xia Tiantian had even mentally prepared herself, but hearing it now, it felt like she was going to faint from the pain.
This man who loved her the most, who always treated her like a precious gem, had left this world, and it had been half a year.
How could this happen?
The nanny was also taken aback, hurriedly holding the almost trembling Xia Tiantian next to her.
Xia Lan said nothing further, drove to that cemetery on the outskirts, parked the car at the foot of the mountain after entering through the gates, took the bouquet, and with Xia Tiantian and the nanny, got out of the car, then walked step by step up the mountain.
When they weren’t far from Li Fei’s tombstone, Xia Tiantian already saw the portrait and name on it. Isn’t that her father?
“Dad, Dad!” Xia Tiantian almost fainted.
As Xia Lan hurriedly held Xia Tiantian, she stood there, not knowing how long passed, Xia Tiantian still weakly collapsed in Xia Lan’s arms.
This scared Xia Lan enough. She hurriedly took her with the nanny and left. Upon reaching outside and getting into the car, Xia Lan promptly drove back to the city hospital.
Delivered to an emergency room for treatment, after the attending doctor inquired clearly about what happened, he conducted various medical checks on Xia Tiantian’s body and said, “Miss Xia, rest assured, your daughter is fine. It’s just that she couldn’t accept the truth all at once and was too shocked. After a period, she’ll be fine. Just let her rest for a few days now, and there will be no problems.”
When Xia Lan heard this, she finally felt a bit reassured. She also understood that the relationship between her daughter and father was better than with her, but now that Li Fei had been gone for half a year, how could she possibly bear it?
Xia Lan called Xia Tiantian’s class teacher to ask for a one-week leave to let Xia Tiantian rest well at home, which the class teacher agreed to, as this was indeed a significant matter.
As for Xia Tiantian’s exam cheating, the class teacher didn’t mention it to her.
