Chapter 902: Chapter 902 Truly a Masterful Performance

Xia Yanyan was anxious. Ye Xingguang clearly intended to accuse her of being ungrateful, being saved by her younger sister but then luring her to jump into the sea. If her father acknowledged it, what would she, Xia Yanyan, become?

“Dad!” Xia Yanyan, walking in high heels, passed the reporters to stop Xia Wealth from answering.

Then, looking at Ye Xingguang: “Little sister, you saved my life; how could I ignore your severe illness and deceive you into the sea? Don’t use Dad’s feeling of indebtedness to you to entice him into acknowledging things that never happened. At that time, you were so ill and confused, I just thought being on the deck to get some sun might ease your condition, that’s why I took you to the deck. Were you delirious from a high fever and developed a persecution complex? You were the one who said it was too hot and wanted to jump into the sea to cool off, so you jumped. Mom and Dad, knowing you could swim well, allowed you to jump, not knowing that you would disappear. Even now, I still remember how Mom and Dad kept looking for you on the sea, but no matter what, they couldn’t find you. Do you know how upset and self-blaming they have been since you disappeared? How can you exploit their eagerness to acknowledge and welcome you back to the family, just to make Dad admit these unfounded accusations?”

Ye Xingguang trembled with anger: “So, you’re saying I made all this up?”

“Mom and Dad never announced your existence publicly because they wanted to protect you. Do you know how much ridicule the children who failed the mermaid project faced? Mom and Dad just don’t want you to get caught in such public scrutiny; their intention was to protect you. What parents would willingly hurt their own flesh and blood? You have too many misunderstandings and too much hostility towards Mom and Dad. I know you feel very aggrieved that donating bone marrow to me worsened your health; hate me for it, by all means, as after all, your health deteriorated because of the donation to me — and I will never deny this. But you shouldn’t hate Mom and Dad for it; they really care about you, and during these years when you were missing, they were incredibly anxious. They are just a pair of pitiful parents…”

Towards the end of her speech, Xia Yanyan’s eyes began to tear up.

What outstanding acting, crying on cue. She couldn’t cry even though she was shaking with anger.

Ye Xingguang ignored Xia Yanyan, only looking at Xia Wealth: “Is what Miss Xia Yanyan said true? Did Xia Qiongqiong fall into the water herself, harboring resentment in her heart? Or was it because you thought she was beyond hope, and directly threw her into the sea?”

Xia Wealth frowned intensely, feeling that his fiery-tempered younger daughter was about to get enraged again.

Now was not the time to provoke her, but to show sincerity to his younger daughter.

He was eager to mend the relationship with his younger daughter because she was more beautiful, more talented, more prestigious than his elder daughter, and Ye’s Family was clearly stronger than the Perrys; moreover, her foster father was the Crown Prince of Country S.

Xia Wealth’s internal balance constantly weighed the pros and cons, and eventually, he made a decision.

“Qiongqiong, it was Dad who threw you into the sea. I really didn’t know how to save you; you were so gravely ill. I listened to a master who said that by throwing you into the sea, you might just have a miraculous chance of survival, turning misfortune into a blessing. That’s why Dad, with no other options and in great anguish, abandoned you to the sea, hoping you would turn misfortune into a blessing.”
