After a simple lunch, Shen Yue called Mu Yuchen to go golfing with him, to which the latter agreed, knowing that they probably had things to discuss. Xi Xiaye did not tag along, so she went to West Park instead.

So many things had happened, and they were all handled by Mu Yuchen. She did not get involved with the storm at all. Now that West Park was empty, she wanted to go back and take a look.

The weather was sunny. When she drove by the back entrance to West Park, she noticed that there was already a new lock in place. The whole mansion looked very still and quiet.

Xi Xiaye never would have thought that she would bump into her father, Xi Mushan, here. From afar, she could see him standing with his hands behind his back underneath a streetlamp. As he gazed up at this mansion before him, his expression seemed a little solemn. With his frail and tall body bathed in the faint sunlight, he seemed somewhat desolate.

Xi Xiaye stopped at a parking spot on the side. When he heard the sound of a car, Xi Mushan slowly returned to his senses in that instant.

Xi Xiaye pushed the car door open and walked over, stopping by his side and looking up with her twinkling eyes. Her calm gaze silently watched the quiet mansion before her.

Xi Mushan glimpsed at her and did not say anything. He followed her gaze and looked over as well.

After a while, his deep and calm voice was heard. "Why are you here too?"

A faint smile flashed across Xi Xiaye's face as her gaze remained calm while she stared at this mansion before her. Her tone was quiet. "Li Si sent the key card over early this morning. He said this place was cleared out, so I came over to take a look."

"Mu Yuchen said you went to see her, and that she's not doing too well."

Xi Mushan obviously knew who she was referring too and his gaze dimmed. "She's paralyzed on one side, so it's hard for her to move around. The doctor said that it's probably going to always be like this. This might be her karma."

He did not seem to have any sympathy for her. Before he married Shen Wenna, Deng Wenwen still treated him fine, but after Shen Wenna married him followed by all those things that happened subsequently, he was only left with hatred for her.

If it were not for her, perhaps all of this misfortune would not have happened.

"She didn't treat Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi too badly. I'm afraid she never would've thought they would treat her this way in the end." As Xi Xiaye said this, a mocking smile appeared on her face, yet apart from such emotions, she felt a hint of lament.

"Yueying's about to fall, Father. Do you blame me?" When she said this, Xi Xiaye abruptly turned to him and fixed her gaze on Xi Mushan. Her eyes were dense with a flickering light. "The Xi family was once so glorious, and now it's..."

Before Xi Xiaye could finish, Xi Mushan sighed softly. He suddenly shut his eyes and tried to ease himself for quite a while, then he opened his eyes and the still light in them had returned to the usual calm, he said gently, "Why would I blame you? This family has long been ruined... Ever since the moment your mother and I divorced, I never found that so-called family again."

When she heard these, Xi Xiaye suddenly did not know how to answer, she thought about it, then smiled wryly, "When you and Mother just got divorced, I'd actually always fantasize about the day you'd chase Yue Lingsi and her daughter out, then bring Mother back. Unfortunately, now that they've finally been chased out, we can never return to how it was."
