Chapter 291:
Xie Xiuran returned to the residence and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Not only were there many strange people added in the house, but some familiar faces that were usually around were also nowhere to be seen.
As soon as he got off the carriage, several black-clothed men around the residence gate surrounded him. Upon seeing him, those expressionless faces all froze in unison.
Soon Xie Xiuran was “invited” to the inner courtyard.
He was carried on a black-clothed man’s shoulder, constantly twisting his little body. When he saw his mother’s courtyard, he couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted loudly, “Mother! Mother!”
Inside, Xie Wanning hurriedly climbed down from his father’s body in a panic.
Just now, she didn’t know what happened, but she had climbed onto the man’s body.
Lu Ziyan had only gently supported her once and did not stop her from leaving.
Seeing her adjust her dress, he walked to the door in a few steps, took a deep breath, and gently opened the door.
Outside in the courtyard, Xie Xiuran had already been put down by Ming Feng. Seeing a strange man walk out from his mother’s room, his face was full of vigilance.
But that strange man just stared fixedly at him, his eyes gradually turning red.
Even if his eyes were red, that aura was still terrifying. Xie Xiuran’s little legs involuntarily retreated half a step, then he mustered his courage and asked him: “Where is my mother? Why did you come out from my mother’s room!”
The strange man glanced at his trembling little short legs and suddenly smiled, “Your surname is Xie? Then do you know who your father is?”
Xie Xiuran was stunned, “My father is a great hero, but he has already died.”
Lu Ziyan hadn’t even had time to be happy before his face darkened.
His teeth clenched tight, and he glared angrily at the young lady who dared not come out from inside. In a few steps, he walked to the little bean, picked him up in one grab.
“Your father is indeed a great hero, but I haven’t died!” He bounced the son in his arms and laughed loudly: “Listen well, I am your father!”
Hearing this, the terrified Xie Xiuran, who had been crying loudly, froze.
At this time, Xie Wanning finally walked out from inside. Seeing that father and son pair, she was also slightly stunned.
Usually it wasn’t noticeable, but now with the big and small faces together, she realized how similar they were.
“Mother!” Seeing his mother, Xie Xiuran shouted, “This thief says he is my father. You quickly get Uncle Ji to drive him out!”
Xie Wanning: “…”
She looked at Lu Ziyan’s darkened face, Ming Feng who was standing by with lowered brows and eyes, and several familiar deputy generals. It was really quite awkward.
Listening to his son repeatedly clamoring for other men to drive him away, Lu Ziyan’s face grew increasingly grim. Gritting his teeth, he said: “Say something!”
She actually dared!
Pregnant with his child, she escaped, and after giving birth, she didn’t think of coming back to give him another opportunity. Instead, in this remote small town, she lived day and night with other men for five years!
And even told the child that his father had already died!
Every single thing made Lu Ziyan extremely annoyed.
Under his accusing gaze, Xie Wanning knew she couldn’t avoid it anymore. She walked to them and faced the two similar big and small faces, her heart softening completely.
“…Sorry Ran’er, Mother has been hiding it from you. Your father didn’t die; he really is your father,” she said seriously. “Mother quarreled with him, so she took you to live alone. Now, he has come back.”
Xie Xiuran had been clever since childhood. At four years old, he was already like a little adult and could understand many things, but suddenly having a father appear, he was still a bit dazed.
Seeing his son’s dazed expression, Lu Ziyan’s heart softened. He reached out to rub his face, kissed him hard, and laughed: “Silly boy, can’t you see how much you look like me?”
Updated early today, huh… haha
