She had always been obedient in front of him. When he was hungry, she would order takeout. When he was thirsty, she would pour water. When he wanted to take a bath, she would fill the bathtub... She had never made any requests. Aside from the gifts he bought her, she had never asked for anything. In fact, in front of him, she had never shed a single tear, never acted coquettishly, never moaned in pain.
He had always thought that after being together with her for eight years, he understood her well, but only now did he realize that he knew almost nothing about her.
All these years, he had wondered countless times why she didn't want his child, and why she tried so hard to leave him. He couldn't figure out the reason, and only now did he suddenly realize that the first person she abandoned all those years ago wasn't her, but him.
From the very beginning, he had never treated her well.
"Later on, Sisi became more and more popular, so she became busier and busier. Sometimes, she couldn't even come home to spend Chinese New Year with me.
"There was one year when she couldn't go home for the New Year because she had to receive an award on New Year's Eve. When the clock struck midnight, she called me. It was very quiet on her side, and she was alone. I could hear the wind, so I assumed she was outside."
"Over the phone, she happily told me that she had received the best actress award, and that her salary was going to rise by a lot. She could earn a lot of money, and I could enjoy my old age in peace. She said a lot, but I could feel that she wasn't happy.
"That night, she talked to me on the phone for a long time before she hung up. Although I didn't expose her, I knew that she must have spent New Year's Eve alone. That's why she called me."
Xu Jiamu still didn't say a word, but his eyes started to heat up.
He knew about the Chinese New Year when she received the award. That night, she had also called him. He was having fun with his friends at the Royal Palace, so he didn't hear her call at all.
It wasn't until the next day that he called her back, asking if she was okay. She said no. He asked where she was, and she said she was at her hometown.
He didn't think much of it, and believed her.
Only now did he know that at that time, she was alone in Beijing.
So, when she was weak, she wanted to rely on him, but he didn't give her the chance.
Yes, he had never let her rely on him, how could she dare to rely on him?
Father Song read through all of his treasured stories about Song Xiangsi, then raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. He asked Xu Jiamu, "Isn't our Sisi pretty?"
Xu Jiamu nodded. "Very beautiful."
"So, back then, you were only willing to give our Sisi fifty thousand dollars because she was pretty, right?"
Xu Jiamu was stunned, staring at Father Song silently.
"You don't have to find an excuse to hide it from me. I know you're not my daughter's boyfriend." Guilt surfaced in Father Song's eyes. "Back then, she agreed to follow you because of my surgery fees. Actually, when she paid for my medical fees, I already knew. I understand my daughter. She didn't lie, and I could tell. The reason I didn't expose her was because I knew she would be very upset. I didn't want to burden her anymore. The reason I asked her to see you is because I have something to give you."
