Chapter 780: She Is Dead

Im not referring to your wifes sister, Fang Liyin. Im referring to your wife, Fang Lilan The reporter was about to continue when Fang Xinxin quickly spoke up. Im sorry. We will not answer any questions relating to this topic.

Long Xuan, however, grew nervous. This reporter, what did you say happened to my wife, Lilan?

When the reporters heard Fang Xinxins words, they immediately understood that the Long family was concealing Fang Lilans death from Long Xuan. They fell silent and did not respond.

My apologies, everyone. Long Jingyuan rushed to speak up. Todays press conference will end right now.

Fang Xinxin quickly pushed Long Xuans wheelchair out of the venue.

Long Jingyuan also rushed to follow.

The three of them headed to the thirtieth storey of the Long Groups building and entered the break room inside the directors office.

The break room connected to the office was an apartment with a room and a living room.

Long Xuan sat on his wheelchair and stared past the ceiling-to-floor windows to take in the view of the city. Both of you already knew that Lilan is dead, didnt you?

His tone was certain.

Dad Fang Xinxin approached his side. We didnt mean to hide this from you. Your body was still recovering and we were afraid that you wouldnt be able to take the news.

These words were akin to a confirmation of Fang Lilans death.

Long Xuan appeared to have aged by ten years in an instant. His eyes began to tear up. Lilan is dead. She is really dead

Despair and misery filled his gaze. His whole being appeared to have been swallowed by misery.

Dad. Fang Xinxin knelt down by his feet and leaned against his legs. Mom really isnt around anymore. So, you have to live well. Ive already lost my mother. I cant lose you, too!

Long Xuans gaze turned guilty. All these years, Dad has never taken good care of you.

He took in his daughters heartbroken expression with a loving gaze. Hope seemed to be growing in his withered heart. Xinxin, dont worry. No matter how heartbroken I am, I dont wish to leave you.

He spoke with some difficulty. My daughter, did you know? In fact, over the years of Fang Liyin pretending to be your mother, I had also noticed things amiss here and there. However, I chose to neglect them. At times, I even lied to myself that she was Lilan. That was because I had the feeling that your mom was no longer around. Furthermore, Fang Liyin truly knew some things that were meant to be kept between your mother and I. I regret that I didnt look into this sooner.

What kind of a b.a.s.t.a.r.d am I? I actually couldnt tell that my own wife had been replaced. His gaze s.h.i.+fted to his father. Father, this son of yours has too many flaws. Over the past twenty years, Ive actually visited you many times. Ive also seen the poster you published in the newspapers to look for me. I immediately headed to the Long home when I saw it. However, you werent at home at the time. My second brother, Long Guo, was home and he told me to never return as he feared it would interfere with his succession rights. In order to not compete with him, I only dared to look at you from afar.

Long Jingyuan was deeply moved. Xuan Er, I never knew Guo Dong did such a thing while he was alive. Youre not unfilial. I was the one who raised your second brother poorly.

Lilan was a good woman. Long Xuan sighed. Xinxin told me that you have some misunderstandings about Lilans character and believed she was after the Long familys inheritance. In fact, Lilan truly did not care about my ident.i.ty as the Long familys third son when she was alive. After I left the Long family, her feelings for me did not waver. At the time, she said that it was fine to leave the Long familys inheritance to my second brother if he wished to have it all. She only mentioned that I needed to remind my brother to take good care of you. After all, both Lilan and I were unable to care for you.
