"Is there something you need from me?" Qiu Suxin asked with a smile.
Huang Youwei smiled and stepped aside, revealing the person behind him.
When Qiu Suxin saw Xu Tianhua, her composure was gone.
She stood up abruptly.
"Xu Tianhua! It's you!"
"Suxin..."
Before Xu Tianhua could finish speaking, Qiu Suxin suddenly rushed forward and punched him.
"You heartless man, how could you abandon me for so many years without showing up?"
"Suxin, I..."
Xu Tianhua was strong, and Qiu Suxin was over fifty. What strength did she have?
He could only endure her outburst.
Huang Youwei quietly slipped out.
When Qiu Suxin finished hitting, she hugged him tightly.
Her previous gentleness was long gone.
"Why did you come looking for me? Weren't you going to stay on your mountain until you died of old age?"
Qiu Suxin snorted and turned away to wipe her tears.
Xu Tianhua looked at the woman whose life he had ruined, and his heart was filled with immense guilt.
"I'm sorry, Suxin, I didn't..."
"Xu Tianhua, from the very beginning, you were a hothead, and you're still a blockhead. I was truly blind to fall for you."
Qiu Suxin turned around and slapped Xu Tianhua with a "pop."
Only then did she regain her composure.
"If I hadn't released the news, would you have ever left that damned mountain?"
"No, my disciple Zhou Xuan's matters are settled, I was just coming to congratulate you."
Xu Tianhua still retorted stubbornly.
"Fine, you can leave. You've seen me now, and I'm living well. I'll live to over a hundred. You can go."
"Suxin, I'm not leaving. This time, I'm not planning to."
Xu Tianhua said in a deep voice.
Qiu Suxin was a little stunned.
"Why?"
"Because I know, back then, you hid the news of your pregnancy and gave birth to the child, right?"
"You... How did you know?"
"Don't worry about how I know. There's also something I want to ask, is Huihui she..."
Qiu Suxin suddenly became fierce, pushing him outwards.
"Get out, get out!"
"I thought you had a change of heart, but I didn't expect you to be incorrigible, still thinking about that woman."
"I'm warning you, the child knows nothing. Don't think you can come back and fight me for the child."
Xu Tianhua gave a bitter smile.
"When did I ever say I wanted to fight you for the child?"
"At our age, what else can I do? I just want to confirm one thing. You don't need to overreact."
Qiu Suxin snorted, "I will never believe your empty promises."
"Alright, since you don't believe me, I'll leave first. When you're ready to sit down and talk with me, I'll be waiting."
With that, Xu Tianhua left without looking back.
After standing at the door for a long time, a hint of disappointment appeared on Xu Tianhua's face.
It seemed she still hadn't forgiven him after all these years.
Xu Tianhua smiled bitterly, but it didn't matter. After all, he had decided to reconcile with her, and that was enough.
Back in his room at Baili Manor, after closing the door, Xu Tianhua sat by the bed, took out his phone, opened WeChat, found a photo, and looked at it again and again.
"Suxin, the child is very cute, and looks a lot like you."
Then he took out another photo, tucked inside his wallet, worn and yellowed from being handled so much.
It was of the woman he loved, his former wife, Li Huihui.
No matter how much Xu Tianhua thought about it, he never imagined Li Huihui would become Qiu Wenlong's wife.
At that moment, a flood of thoughts crossed his mind.
The first thought: How could she have married Qiu Wenlong?
The second thought: Was it voluntary?
The third thought: Surely Qiu Wenlong wouldn't treat her badly?
His heart suddenly ached, his eyes grew warm, and a touch of bitterness welled up.
He knew Li Huihui loved him, and to her, he was like her only family.
But he loved her too, deeply, which was why he was willing to do anything for her, even risk his life.
He couldn't understand why Li Huihui had ended up with Qiu Wenlong.
Could it be that she had fallen in love with that man?
No, how was that possible?
They had been separated for a long time after that battle. At that time, he thought Li Huihui was being bullied at the Shangjing Command Center, coupled with the inexplicable death of his brother on the battlefield.
That's why he couldn't resist trespassing into the Command Center.
But why, why had she become Qiu Wenlong's wife?
"Huihui..." Xu Tianhua softly called her name, tears streaming down his face.
For the past few days, he had dreamt of him and Huihui together every night, walking on the beach, sitting on a swing set watching the sea, her smiling sweetly, yet he always felt something was missing.
He had originally planned to propose marriage to his parents after that battle, to tell them about Huihui and hold a wedding.
Unexpectedly, fate played a cruel trick.
"This bitch! She dared to betray me!"
Xu Tianhua threw the photo to the ground, and it instantly turned into a pile of dust.
The past events had made the man emotionally unstable.
Li Huihui's matter could easily agitate him.
Xu Tianhua's eyes were filled with venom. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be in this situation.
"I will make you regret it!"
Xu Tianhua said through gritted teeth, then picked up his phone and made a call.
"Help me investigate Li Huihui's recent movements. And her husband, Qiu Wenlong's information..."
After hanging up, a ferocious expression appeared on his face: "Bitch, no matter how alluring you are, you can't escape my grasp."
At this moment, Xu Tianhua was consumed by hatred.
He wished he could tear Li Huihui to shreds!
He also knew that with his current capabilities, he was absolutely no match for Li Huihui and Qiu Wenlong.
But none of that mattered. As long as he had the ability, he would surely achieve his goal!
Xu Tianhua took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his eyes.
There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests!
...
A week later, in a suite in a foreign hotel, two tall, ethereal, and stunningly beautiful women were chatting on the sofa.
One of them was wearing a haute couture gown.
"Mom, why are you in such a hurry to bring me back?"
"It's nothing. Your father said you've been abroad for too long and refused to return, and that he misses you. He wants you to come back and see him. I happened to be on a business trip here, so I'm taking you back together."
These mother and daughter were none other than Xu Tianhua's former lover, Li Huihui.
The beautiful young woman beside her was her daughter.
After Qiu Wenlong married Li Huihui, they only had one daughter.
This daughter, Qiu Yuelian, was as beautiful as a closed moon and a fallen flower.
Combined with her haute couture and impeccable attire, she looked incomparably noble.
