Chapter 107  : Sudden Change in the Situation

Xie Zhou looked at his daughter and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong, my little princess?”

“Daddy, if, I mean if! If I decide to stay in the Lin family in the end, can I still come back to see you?” Xie Chaochao stammered.

Xie Zhou looked at his daughter. The emotions in his heart were like a surging tide. He tried to control his words, but he swallowed them back several times.

“Of course, girl… This will always be your home… If you stay in the Lin family and someone bullies you, or you can’t get used to living there, you can… come back anytime.” He choked up as he spoke.

“Yes, thank you, Daddy!” Xie Chaochao replied with a smile, the gloominess on her face gone.

Xie Zhou had always wanted to stabilize his emotions because he wanted to leave an image of a magnanimous and imposing father for his daughter. However, emotions were churning in his heart.

When he came out of Xisha Prison, his daughter was his everything. Now that the two of them were about to be separated, how could he bear to?

However, he could not change his mind because he knew very well that this was the “right” choice. Chaochao was about to grow up. She had the right to know the truth and to look for her biological parents.

Moreover, he had always wanted to give his daughter a princess-like life. If the Lin family was really as the rumors said, sending her back was the fastest way for his daughter to achieve this goal.

However, Xie Zhou was not completely relieved. He kept feeling that it was strange and vaguely sensed that Old Zheng seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

Previously, when Xie Zhou chatted with him and asked him why Xie Chaochao had gone missing, the other party only said that it was an accident and kept the exact reason a secret.

This made Xie Zhou raise his guard. As a large family, the Lin family might not be as glamorous as it seemed. It was strange that they could let a family’s future heir disappear. This was also one of the reasons Xie Zhou wanted to go back with Xie Chaochao.

He suspected that there was someone in the Lin family who didn’t want Elder Lin’s granddaughter to go back. As for who this person was, through the information he had obtained from Old Zheng, Xie Zhou felt that there were likely to be at least two people. One was the young master of the Lin family, and the other was his current wife, who was Chaochao’s nominal stepmother.

Xie Zhou felt that since Old Zheng said that Young Master Lin and his ex-wife didn’t seem to have a good relationship, he immediately married a second wife after the other party passed away.

Therefore, he had ample motive to get rid of the “legacy” left behind by this ex-wife who had a bad relationship with him for the sake of the woman he loved. After all, this might very well be an obstacle to his new relationship.

Of course, the stepmother’s motive was even more obvious. Whether it was the future inheritance of her children or her personal emotions, there were really many motives.

However, Xie Zhou did not dare to jump to conclusions. After all, he had obtained all the information from the Lin family’s butler, Old Zheng. Who knew if what the other party said was true or not? As for the truth, he could only find out when he reached the Lin family house…

For his daughter’s future, Xie Zhou quickly thought about the threat his daughter might encounter while living in the Lin family.

However, Xie Chaochao’s thoughts were much more simple. She was thinking about how to reject the Lin family properly.

Ever since she found out that Xie Zhou wanted to go with her, Xie Chaochao had made up her mind. Out of courtesy, Xie Chaochao decided to go to the Lin family to meet these people. However, she had no intention of living in the Lin family in the future.

What she was most worried about was that Xie Zhou would abandon her because of this matter. However, after the conversation yesterday and today, Xie Chaochao was already filled with confidence. She decided to go to the capital to clarify things with her Grandpa Lin. She still wanted to live with Xie Zhou.

Just as she had made up her mind, a loud bang suddenly came from the mountains.

“Boom!!”

A slope immediately appeared on the side of the road. Old Zhao quickly braked to prevent the car from being buried by the landslide, but the convoy was separated by the landslide…
