章節 282: Chapter 279 Descendants (Second Update)

Xie Yanhai knew the truth. A month before her death, Shi Peirong had told him everything.

It was, after all, a clichéd yet heart-wrenching story.

Back then, Shi Peirong and Senior Mr. Xie were childhood sweethearts and were of like minds, destined to be engaged once they grew up.
