Hai Zhiyuan was stunned, âYou did this on purpose?!â
In truth, Hai Xiaotang didnât do it deliberately. She was genuinely upset earlier and spoke somewhat irresponsibly.
However, she did not regret what she said.
If it could make Dongfang Yu give up, cease all contact with her, it would be a good thing for everyone.
Because they really canât continue like this.
She canât respond to his feelings, and it would only make him more miserable. Her heart would also be affected, creating a vicious cycle, just like before when she was entangled with him.
She already regretted her past actions, so in this life, she did not want to waste any more energy on romantic entanglements.
Yes, there are many things Hai Xiaotang wants to do in this life.
The only thing she doesnât want to do is get involved with relationships.
Never againâ¦
âGrandpa, there will never be any possibility between Dongfang Yu and me. You should not have the idea of having us reconcile in the future. Now, I only want to study hard, and not engage in any relationships.â Hai Xiaotang headed upstairs after she finished.
Hai Zhiyuan sighed as he watched her retreating figure.
He did not want to bother her with these things, but they had no choice given the current situation.
His health was deteriorating with each passing day, and he probably wouldnât last another few years.
Hai Xiaotang was young and didnât have the ability to live independently.
His eldest son and daughter-in-law had been eyeing the Dongfang familyâs wealth, and they were now desperately searching for their long-lost daughterâ¦
Once he was gone, if Hai Xiaotang had no one to lean on, they would not let her go.
Especially since Dongfang Yu was now infatuated with her.
For the sake of gain, who knew what theyâd do to Xiaotang once he was gone.
When he thought of the challenges Hai Xiaotang would have to face, Hai Zhiyuan felt heartbroken.
But what could he do now?
He could not bear to give up on anyone.
And he was yet to find a solution that could satisfy all parties involved.
Would there be a way to avoid family conflict after his death?
Whenever he thought about these things, his heart felt heavyâ¦
***********
Hai Xiaotang was unaware of her grandfatherâs thoughts.
She focused all her energy on her studies, yearning to be independent and lead the simple, free life she desired.
Dongfang Yu also did not contact her again.
After resting for only two days, Dongfang Yu returned to work at his company.
Lin Xinxin also returned to work, acting normal as if nothing had happened on that night.
The only difference was that she was working even harder than before.
If she wanted a chance to turn things around, it would be to impress Dongfang Yu with her performance.
Besides that, she had no other way of attracting his attention.
This was her only chance. If she failed, she wouldnât have any opportunity for a reversal in her life!
For this final chance, Lin Xinxin was exceptional, she seemed to be blossoming with life.
But Dongfang Yu was still thinking about Hai Xiaotang.
A week went by in the blink of an eye.
He hadnât seen or heard from Hai Xiaotang for the longest time.
Dongfang Yu put down his documents, turned his head towards the window, and drifted into a faraway thought.
âKnock knock?? â Ji Chuan knocked and entered the room, noticing him in a
daze.
He was taken aback, wondering what had gotten into the boss lately. Why was he always lost in thought?
He knew that such a state was not characteristic of him.
