His daughter?

“What did you say!” Mrs. Xia’s eyes widened instantly. “You mean he sent my daughter to prison!”

Mr. Xia, standing behind her, immediately darkened his face and strode forward, delivering a harsh kick that knocked Wei Xunzhou back to the ground as he was trying to rise.

“You’re damn well asking for death!”

Wei Xunzhou finally lost control and spat a mouthful of fresh blood. He struggled on the ground for a long moment before pulling himself up again, then collapsed to his knees before everyone, eyes filled with remorse.

“All the past mistakes were mine and my son’s fault, but please, grant us one chance—let us see her…” Since crossing over into this world, Wei Xunzhou’s life had been completely overturned. Everything he once possessed—his identity, status, even dignity—was gone.

Yet in the end, not only did he fail to find her, but he was also bullied relentlessly during this time. Wei Xunzhou endured countless humiliations and disdain. The looks of envy and admiration he once received had turned into scorn and mockery.

Every hope he clung to shattered like a bubble, leaving only deeper despair and unwillingness to accept fate.

He remembered how, in his former world, Xia Mengge had also faced endless bullying and challenges alone. She bore all the burdens on her slender shoulders, persevering for a full seven years without a single complaint.

But he had only endured the torment for less than half a month, clearly unable to hold on.

He couldn’t fathom how Xia Mengge managed to endure it all, which only deepened his remorse toward her.

Now, kneeling here, Wei Xunzhou wasn’t just begging for forgiveness—he was driven by a love and promise buried deep within his heart. He was willing to spend the rest of his life making amends for past mistakes and protecting that precious emotion once lost.

The Xia couple and Xia Chenxuan looked coldly on as the man on the ground confessed to his wrongdoings, yet not one offered him a hand to rise.

Mrs. Xia sneered, “Wei Xunzhou, if you had a daughter who went through the same things as mine, would you choose to let him meet her again?”

Wei Xunzhou’s body stiffened. His daughter?

Suddenly, he remembered the photo of the little girl he saw in the Xia household. If that was his daughter… No, it couldn’t be.

An answer suddenly surged in Wei Xunzhou’s heart, and the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.

Seeing Wei Xunzhou remain silent, Mrs. Xia’s tone grew even firmer.

“So why on earth should we let you meet our daughter?”

Hearing this, Wei Xunzhou panicked and quickly reached to grab Mrs. Xia’s hand. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m different from them. My son and I truly love Mengge. Please, just let us see her once—just once, okay?”

Mrs. Xia instinctively wanted to refuse, but Xia Chenxuan suddenly tugged at her hand and showed her a message on his phone.

After reading the message, a flicker of hesitation appeared in Mrs. Xia’s eyes.

Just moments ago, Xia Chenxuan recalled what a special bureau official had said: to completely make the pursued party give up, the pursuer must personally come forward to resolve it.

In other words, no amount of discouraging words are as effective as hearing it directly from Xia Mengge herself.

That was why Xia Chenxuan hurriedly sent a text to Xia Mengge, who was in America.

Seeing that their daughter agreed, Mrs. Xia allowed Xia Chenxuan to make the call. “If you still won’t give up, then let my daughter speak to you personally.”

Wei Xunzhou’s eyes flashed brightly at once, about to speak, when the door to Wei Ming’s room was pushed open.

A small figure rushed out and threw himself into his arms. “Daddy…”

Actually, Wei Ming had already woken up earlier, but someone kept causing trouble these days, so Wei Xunzhou had told him to stay in the room until it was quiet outside.

With Wei Ming’s sudden embrace, the pain from Wei Xunzhou’s injuries flared up immediately.

Hearing his father’s muffled groan, Wei Ming noticed the wounds and his eyes turned red. Fear overwhelmed him, and he burst into tears, then charged straight at Xia Chenxuan.

“You’re bad people! Why did you hit my dad?”

Wei Ming kicked and bit at Xia Chenxuan, who didn’t indulge him and shoved him away. “Wei Xunzhou, you really raised a fine son!”

Wei Xunzhou’s face darkened further as he hurried to pull his son back, but the movement tore at his wounds.

Gasping sharply, he barely caught his breath when Wei Ming got back up and resumed attacking the Xia couple.

“Bad people! You’re all bad people!” he shouted as he fought.

“Why did you hit my dad? Why won’t you let us see mom?”

“I hate you all! Ahhhh!”

Frowning, Xia Chenxuan blocked Wei Ming’s blows while switching the call to speakerphone.

“Wei Ming?”

When Xia Mengge’s voice came through the phone, Wei Ming froze on the spot.

“Mom?”
