After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1108: Nothing at All

Lilith slowly clenched her fists, using the last bit of strength in her body to look up at Xiao Jincheng and say, "Grandpa, I was raised by you, and you've put so much effort into me to where I am today. If you abandon me now, you'll have to train a new assistant, which is a waste of time. Lilith really knows she was wrong. Please tell me, what do I need to do to appease you?"

"Do you really still want to stay in the Xiao family?"

Lilith's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, saying, "I'll do anything to stay!"

"Alright, clean yourself up first, then come find me."

Clean it up...?

Lilith stared blankly at Xiao Jincheng, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Seeing Lilith's state, Xiao Jincheng kindly reminded her, "Get rid of everything that shouldn't be in your body. I need a clean Lilith!"

Upon hearing this, Lilith subconsciously glanced at her stomach, as if only then realizing that she had lost a lot of blood.

Looking down at the bright red blood, Lilith felt a sharp pain in her eyes, but she didn't turn her head away; her eyes remained wide open, devoid of any light.

Suddenly, Lilith moved slightly, and after struggling, her expression slowly turned sinister.

Lilith lowered her head and said stiffly, "Lilith knows what to do, Grandpa. Don't worry, Lilith will never let you down again!"

After saying this, Lilith staggered to her feet, covered in blood, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight. No one knew where she was going, she didn't take anything with her, and no one even knew whether she would live or die.

Lin Yuqing only caught a glimpse of Lilith's back; she was aloof and resolute, exuding an aura of deathly stillness. The scene was too cruel, and Lin Yuqing dared not look any longer, so she turned her head to look at Xiao Jincheng in front of her.

At this moment, the smiling old man before us is probably the one who will have the last laugh. But if he wanted to deal with Lilith, he had many ways to do so; why did he have to drag himself and Zhang Kaifeng into this?

Just as Lin Yuqing was filled with doubt, Xiao Jincheng seemed to sense her gaze, turned around, and gave Lin Yuqing a kind smile.

Even though Xiao Jincheng showed great sincerity, Lin Yuqing still felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar after seeing his face.

Without making a sound, Zhang Kaifeng shielded Lin Yuqing behind him, slightly raised his chin, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I really didn't expect to meet the master of the Xiao family here. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Xiao Jincheng looked quite appreciative and said with a smile, "Lilith must have caused you a lot of trouble during this time. To make up for her mistakes, I would like to invite you to the Xiao family as guests."

"No need to stay as guests, we have things to do today. We will definitely come to bother you another day when we have time."

Xiao Jincheng seemed to have anticipated Zhang Kaifeng's refusal, and still maintained his good temper, saying leisurely, "I still hope you can come and sit for a while. Even if you don't want to see my old face, you would still want to see Xuan'er, right?"

Lin Yuqing was on edge. When she heard Xuan'er's name, she became very agitated and took a few steps forward to question him: "What have you done to Xuan'er?"

Xiao Jincheng chuckled softly, seemingly finding the remark amusing, and replied, "He's my great-grandson. I love him dearly, so what could I possibly do to him? Don't worry, you're not the only one in this world who cares about that child."

Looking at Xiao Jincheng's weathered face, Lin Yuqing really wanted to ask him, "Do you think you're showing him any love by imprisoning Xuan'er?!"

How could Xiao Jincheng not see the rejection in Lin Yuqing's eyes? But he was very patient and coaxed her step by step: "I know you have a misunderstanding about me, and I don't mind if you continue to misunderstand. But you keep saying that you love Xuan'er, but I don't see it at all. Xuan'er has been looking forward to his mother coming to see him every day. Now that you've finally come, you haven't even said a word of greeting."

Since Xiao Jincheng didn't go to the United States, he must know that I went to the Xiao family. What is his intention in saying these things to provoke me?

Just as Lin Yuqing was trying to figure out Xiao Jincheng's thoughts, Zhang Kaifeng smiled and explained, "Although we miss Xuan'er very much, we are indeed in a hurry today, so it's not very convenient. Besides, we know that Xuan'er is doing well, and that's enough."

Glancing at Zhang Kaifeng, Xiao Jincheng said with apparent interest, "I never expected that Zhang Kaifeng, who is famous throughout Europe, would be interested in my granddaughter-in-law. I don't know whether it's my honor or you shamelessly ruining someone else's happiness?"

Faced with Xiao Jincheng's veiled insults, Zhang Kaifeng remained indifferent and slowly explained, "First of all, I'm happy that you acknowledged Yuqing's status as your granddaughter-in-law, because you've finally done the right thing. Secondly, Yuqing and I are just good friends, and if you want to overthink things, there's nothing I can do. Finally, what exactly is our relationship with each other, is that any of your business?"

Zhang Kaifeng's words were direct and merciless, and given Xiao Jincheng's temperament, he would definitely be furious. But now, that guy was still smiling, even though flames of anger were flickering in his eyes.

The more Xiao Jincheng restrained his temper, the more it suggested that there was something wrong with him. The fact that Xiao Jincheng could even abandon Lilith proved that he was definitely plotting a bigger conspiracy. And what connection would Yuqing have with this?

With his hands folded in front of him, Xiao Jincheng remained calm and his breathing was even, seemingly unperturbed by Zhang Kaifeng's disrespect.

With a soft sigh, Xiao Jincheng seemed a little heartbroken, and said, "Alright, since you can be so heartless, I have nothing to say. But it's alright, with Mingyang keeping Xuan'er company, he won't be lonely. Oh, by the way, don't think that the Mingyang I'm talking about is that imposter."

Before Lin Yuqing could say anything, Zhang Kaifeng quickly squeezed her hand and said without changing his expression, "What are you trying to prove by saying all this?"

"If I were Lin Yuqing, I would definitely go and see. Your husband and son are in their hands, and you've run off with another man. Aren't you afraid of hurting Mingyang and Xuan'er?"

Lin Yuqing knew this was Xiao Jincheng's way of provoking her, and she silently told herself not to fall for his tricks. But some words still welled up uncontrollably and came out before she could even react.

"The one who truly hurt Mingyang and Xuan'er is you, isn't it!" Lin Yuqing looked coldly at Xiao Jincheng, never imagining she would utter such heartless words one day. "You keep saying you love them and care about them, but you've robbed Xuan'er of the innocence and happiness a child should have! What you need isn't family affection, but simply the heir to the Xiao family!"
