104 GRANDFATHER'S WRATH (3)

At the Old Xue Mansion.

"Father.."

"I have not seen our little princess cry and beg like that. It's as if she's on her way to getting slaughtered alive. It's as if it's the last time she's going to truly live." Grandfather Xue's countenance and demeanor weakened. He appeared so much older than his age.

"She was screaming on top of her lungs for that guy."

"She said to me, if I love her I'll let them be. Of course I love her! She's my only granddaughter. I had pampered her all her life!"

He sighed. "Son, we parents could not win over the youngsters."

"That's the only thing I could do for her, set her free from our influence. I have a bigger mandate for the family. I'm doing everything I could. I cannot let just anyone into our family."

"I'm getting old and tired, son."

Grandfather broodingly paused.
