She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1641: Chapter 1718: Why Didn’t She Die

”Exactly! Why didn’t she just drown in the ocean back then? How can someone like her still be alive, and not only alive but still intact?” Qin Shuang sneered viciously. ”Sis, this kid can’t be a bastard, right? One she had later with some other random man? Think about it! She was taken hostage by Li Xia, then fell into such deep water—how could she possibly have kept the baby?”

She simply didn’t believe it; this child had to be a bastard. Right, definitely a bastard.

Qin Xue didn’t speak. She was calmer than Qin Shuang, and she trusted Xu Qigang’s abilities more than anyone. Whether it was his child or not, you might fool others, but you could never fool Xu Qigang.

So she wouldn’t waste her energy on this kind of pointless thing.

”What a pity. The Living Yama’s lifelong reputation actually ended up with a woman putting a green hat on him. Not only that, he even has to raise another man’s kid. He’s really pathetic.” The more Qin Shuang thought about it, the more convinced she became, utterly certain in her heart.

Qin Xue shot her younger sister a cold glare. ”Who told you to come?”

”Of course I snuck over on my own.”

”I know you snuck over. Aren’t you afraid Father will be furious at you coming like this?” Qin Xue was a little unhappy. Last time this younger sister came, she completely offended Su Jiang and the Hai Family, to the point that Qin Xue couldn’t even manage to repair the relationship.

Now the reason the Qin Family was in such a passive position had a lot to do with what Qin Shuang had done back then. Thinking of this, her dissatisfaction with Qin Shuang grew even stronger.

Maybe sensing the coldness in her sister’s eyes, Qin Shuang shrank her neck and hurriedly said, ”I came because I got news that our little brother went to S Country. The Living Yama has already taken people to look for him, so that’s why he wasn’t in the delegation today.”

”Really?” Qin Xue was overjoyed, but once she came back to her senses, what she felt even more was anger. As someone from the Southern District, she really wasn’t welcome in the Northern District. Even her father already knew about this news, yet she, actually being in the Northern District, knew nothing.

It was like someone had slapped her hard across the face, making the always-proud Qin Xue go pale, the rage in her heart no longer bearable.

Sheng Ning and the others left the airport together. Only after they got in the car did they realize—huh? How come there was one more person?

When had this person slipped in? Wait... not one person, but a father and son pair.

”Minister Hai, don’t you have anything better to do?” Su Jiang asked irritably.

”I’m not busy, not busy at all.” Hai Yunfeng smiled at Sheng Ning.

Sheng Ning could only respond, ”Hello, Minister Hai.”

”Mm, mm!” He gave a reserved nod. No matter how Su Jiang ridiculed or mocked him, he acted like he neither saw nor heard it. When they arrived at the General Union Courtyard, Mr. Hai had already personally led people out to greet them.

Seeing the old man, Sheng Ning’s eyes instantly grew moist. When she saw her uncle and cousin at the airport she hadn’t felt much, yet now, seeing Mr. Hai, she suddenly had the urge to cry.

In the past, the old man had always been together with her grandfather. The two had been comrades and brothers for a lifetime; their bond was anything but ordinary. After her grandfather passed away, Mr. Hai had even fallen seriously ill.

”Grandpa Hai, how come you came out yourself?” Sheng Ning hurried forward to support him.

”I heard you were coming back, and I was happy! So I came out early to wait.”

”Thank you for worrying about me, Grandpa Hai. It’s cold outside, let’s go in and sit first.”

Hai Yunfeng and Hai Shen both nodded in unison at Sheng Ning’s behavior. Not bad! Even after going through hardships, her temperament was still the same as before. No wonder the old man kept thinking about her. When he first heard the news back then, he’d been hit hard by it.
