Chapter 239 Moral Kidnapping
Xie Tianyi walked in front, the Xie brothers carried Qin with great effort, and the whole family followed silently behind.
Qin knew clearly that her sons were working hard to support the family, and she felt embarrassed to walk on her own after she had said those words.
She could only pray silently that the clinic would appear in front of her as soon as possible.
However, it seemed as if fate was playing a joke on him, as it took Xie Tianyi fifteen minutes to reach the clinic he chose.
After finally arriving at the clinic, the Xie brothers collapsed on the ground exhausted, completely disregarding their image. Their clothes were tattered, stained with sweat, and smelled bad.
Seeing him in such a miserable state, others would think he was a beggar fleeing from disaster.
The servant at the clinic almost drove them away, but fortunately Xie Tianyi took out some silver from his sleeve in time and sent the servant to call a doctor.
The servant then suddenly realized that these people were not homeless.
The doctor rushed over and after an examination, found nothing abnormal about Qin's so-called "illness".
In the end, only the minor abrasions on Qin's feet were treated with medicinal powder.
Only then did Mr. Xie breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay, my dear. If you feel any discomfort, tell the doctor right away."
He asked with concern.
Qin shook her head and said nothing. Her little cleverness was not the real illness.
"Go buy her a pair of shoes."
Xie Tianyi handed the change to Mr. Xie.
Just as Mr. Xie was about to stand up, Qin grabbed him and took back the silver in his hand.
"No, no, my legs are strong enough, I can make do with it."
After Qin said this, no one else dared to object.
"San'er, I'm fine. Take me and your brothers home and prepare a good meal. We've been running around all day and our stomachs are already empty."
Qin smiled, with a hint of coquettishness and anticipation in her tone.
"Also, give me two, no, four servants. I need more people to take care of me."
There was a hint of command in Boss Xie's voice, as if he had long been accustomed to being served.
Xie Tianyi sneered. Thinking of him now? How ironic.
"Just call me Xie Tianyi. We are no longer related, so as to avoid misunderstandings from outsiders."
There was unquestionable determination in his words, and every word was like a sharp blade, severing past ties.
Not to mention that the house and the servants originally belonged to Chen Xi. Even if they were really his, they would never be given to these ungrateful bastards who had once betrayed him.
Everything he had done for this family over the years now seemed like a joke.
"Xie Tianyi, what do you mean? Mom is tired and hungry, can't I go to your place to rest for a while?"
Boss Xie pretended to be pretentious and tried to kidnap Xie Tianyi by using family affection, but unfortunately Xie Tianyi's heart had already been as cold as iron and was no longer affected by this.
"I've made it clear that we have no relationship. The kindness we showed you in the past has been used up by you. Don't use morality to hold me hostage."
Xie Tianyi had just learned the term "moral kidnapping" from Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, and it was just right to use it at this moment.
"Xie Tianyi, how could you do this?"
Boss Xie was so angry that he pointed his finger directly at the tip of Xie Tianyi's nose, his anger mixed with a bit of powerlessness.
"Do you think I did something wrong?"
Xie Tianyi asked back, his eyes calm but deep, as if he could see through the guilt deep in Mr. Xie's heart.
Old Master Xie originally wanted to take advantage of Xie Tianyi's place to rest for a night, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that Xie Tianyi had never called him "Dad" again since he knelt down and begged for mercy for the benefit of the family.
This discovery was like a heavy hammer, shattering the last glimmer of hope in his heart and making him panic-stricken but helpless.
"Dad, say something!"
Boss Xie seemed extremely anxious, yet he still seemed to be holding out for a glimmer of hope.
What Xie Tianyi values most is the kindness of Mr. Xie. As long as Mr. Xie speaks, he might soften his heart.
However, behind Mr. Xie, Qin was pulling his sleeve hard, her eyes full of warning and greed.
"I, I don't know!"
Mr. Xie held it in for a long time and only managed to say this, his voice full of helplessness and evasion.
This answer made the other members of the Xie family look at each other anxiously.
They knew that things had reached a point of no return.
"You've heard it, too. If you still don't want to accept the reality, that's fine. I have the document of severing the relationship here. Would you like me to show it to everyone?"
Xie Tianyi's voice was calm and firm, leaving no room for maneuver.
"Xie Tianyi, that being said, you can't just let us live on the streets."
There was a hint of pleading in Boss Xie's tone.
"Humph, that's natural. Even if anyone from Xianghe Village comes to me, I won't let them sleep on the streets."
As Xie Tianyi spoke, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Old Man Xie, "These are enough for you to have a good meal in the county town and find an inn to stay in."
"No, no, Tianyi, I can't take your money."
Mr. Xie tried to decline, but his hands shook uncontrollably.
When Qin heard this, she was determined not to let it go. She took a few steps forward, snatched the silver and stuffed it into her arms.
She also smiled at Xie Tianyi and said, "Look, the inn outside is not as comfortable as home. Why don't we go back and stay for one night? I promise not to disturb you."
Xie Tianyi shook his head, his tone was a little distant and helpless, "That house doesn't belong to me, you should go ask the real owner, don't take the money and then make things difficult for me."
Mr. Xie felt mixed emotions. He knew that the warmth of the past was gone like flowing water, never to return.
"You don't have to pay me back for this tael of silver. Don't come to me again if you have nothing to do in the future."
Xie Tianyi left without waiting for the Xie family's reaction, leaving behind a resolute back, which was considered the utmost he could do.
Inside the Chen residence, Chen Xi was completely oblivious to the turmoil in the outside world. She stayed at home the entire time, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"The person was released?"
Chen Xi asked doubtfully.
“Before I arrived, I saw Mo Shiyu leading a group of people blocking the door.”
Xie Tianyi's words made Chen Xi feel an inexplicable surge of strange emotions, and the words he originally wanted to say also changed in meaning.
"Oh, not bad. It seems like Mo Shiyu cares about you a lot."
There was a hint of teasing in Chen Xi's words, but Xie Tianyi found that she was actually quite naive and adorable.
"I have no interest in her, nor do I have that desire. But there is a woman who I would like to spend time with."
Xie Tianyi's eyes were as deep as black gemstones, locking onto Chen Xi tightly, full of affection.
"Hey, why are you telling me this? It's none of my business."
Chen Xi's face flushed with shame, and he hurriedly fled the scene. He returned to the house, splashed cold water on his burning face, and muttered to himself in annoyance.
In the living room, Xie Tianyi stood there, grinning foolishly.
Did Chen Xi's shyness just now mean that she was a little interested in him? Xie Tianyi speculated in his heart, with a happy smile on his face.
"Master Guo, goodbye!"
Xiaoyang and Xiaochen came home from school and saw their father grinning foolishly in the living room. They were surprised and amused at the same time.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Xie Tianyi came back to his senses and forced himself to suppress his smile.
