<h4>Chapter 449: What Really Happened That Year【2】</h4>


    The fire before Ye Tianxin’s college entrance examinations left Grandmother’s heart with lingering fear.


    She recalled that from the time before the fire broke out, the only person they saw in the capital was Lu Jijun.


    Was there a direct connection between what happened back then and Lu Jijun?


    “Do you know a man named Lu Jijun?” Grandmother asked.


    Xie Xuning nodded. “Yes, he was Ling’s colleague.”


    “He came to me after Ling’s ident.” Grandmother didn’t conceal that Lu Jijun hade to find her. “He also said that Tianxin is his daughter. Over the years, he has been sending money to me and Tianxin, but I never used any of it. You go find him and see if he knows what happened to Ling during that time.”


    “Alright,” Xie Xuning agreed. He was worried that he wouldn’t find anything important rted to this matter.


    As long as he had a clue, he could find out what really happened that year.


    In this world, nothing remained a secret forever.


    As long as he had the heart, he would be able to uncover the truth.


    He couldn’t wait to know who the mastermind was of all these unfortunate events in his life.


    “Xuning, I have no other requirements of you. Just be nice to Tianxin in the future.”


    “I will, Mom. I will be filial to you too. We will look for Ling together. Since Ling gave birth to Tianxin, I don’t believe that my wife Ling would take her own life. Something else must have happened to her. Maybe, one day, she wille back to us. When that timees, our family will beplete.”


    Xie Xuning’s vision was too beautiful.


    It was so good that Grandmother also hoped that all this was true.


    “Okay, I will live well to wait for my daughter toe back to me and call me mother.”


    “I will also wait for her toe back.”


    Xie Xuning thought that while Ling’s whereabouts were unknown, Tianxin must not marry.


    He pondered if Ling came back and found out that Tianxin was married, she would definitely have regrets. She would me him for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.


    The early morning light shone through the floor-to-ceiling ss windows in the lobby.


    The bright sunlight symbolized hope...a new beginning.


    No matter what happenedst night, this day was a new te for Xie Xuning, Ye Tianxin, and Grandmother.


    ...


    ...


    “Elder Brother Li, I’m sleepy.”


    Just then, when Grandmother was here, Ye Tianxin couldn’t bear to yawn even once. At present, she and Li Qingcang were alone, so she instantly returned to herzy behavior like before.


    “Then go to sleep. I will watch you.”


    Ye Tianxin pulled Li Qingcang’s arm and leaned against it.


    “I want you to hold me as I sleep. I’m afraid I will have nightmares again.”


    Li Qingcang knew what happened to Ye Tianxinst night. He saw that it made her feel unsafe. She needed someone to apany her. This was a normal thing.


    “Alright.”


    Li Qingcang hugged Ye Tianxin tightly. Ye Tianxin nestled in Li Qingcang’s arms. She could hear Li Qingcang’s heartbeat.


    His heartbeat was different from her own.


    His heartbeat was full of vigor.


    “Elder Brother Li, you probably don’t have the slightest idea, but I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again.”


    Her voice, with a slightly nasal sound, sounded affectionate. His heart ached recalling how he found her at the brink of death.
