Chapter 245: 238: Changling, hug me (first update) Chapter 245: 238: Changling, hug me (first update) When they broke up initially, Wen Changling said he was the son of Xie Liangjiang and didn’t deserve to be with her.

Wielding the shovel and diggings the soil, Wen Changling didn’t directly answer Xie Shang’s question: “Have you told your grandfather about your uncle’s affair?”

“Hmm.”

The actual cause of Xie Qingze’s death was a right for Xie Jingxian, as a father, to know.

“Does he believe it?”

Xie Shang said, “He needs time.” Time to verify Xie Jiwen’s words, and time to come to terms with them.

“How’s his health?”

There was a time when Wen Changling hated every member of the Xie Family. But now… let it go, they are all Xie Shang’s relatives. There’s a debtor for every grievance, and getting just retribution for Xie Liangjiang was enough.

“On the way here, I talked to the doctor,” Xie Shang said, “His condition is fairly stable for now; he needs rest.”

Before coming clean to Xie Jingxian, Xie Shang had prepared medicine and called the doctor in advance.

“What about the law firm? Do you still manage it?”

He answered truthfully, “I do. It’s my grandfather’s life’s work.”

He needed to dig out all the rotten parts, purge all the infiltrated capital, and redefine the rules.

Wen Changling set down the shovel, dusted her hands and walked over to Xie Shang, looked him in the eyes, and softly asked, “Xie Shang, are you upset?”

“He got what he deserved.”

Xie Shang’s gaze was very calm, but Wen Changling still caught a ripple in it, the understated sorrow he held in check.

Even though Xie Qingze’s revenge had been served, even though she had done everything she promised, even though it was evil paying for evil, there were many ‘even thoughs’. But after all, that was Xie Shang’s father.

So even with retribution achieved, Wen Changling felt no satisfaction, just sadness, for many people, for Xie Qingze, for Ah Na, for Wen Yuan.

For Xie Shang.
