Chapter 61: Theillegitimate Daughter
acted when he swiftly darted into the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the air. 。The composure and indifference from before were all gone, unable to bear the dirt on my body even for a seco...From a young age, Shū Tínglàn was always the one getting into fights and being scolded. Even her mother would scold her, telling her not to bully Wēn Jiǎn; while her father, out of "apology," would inevitably visit and apologize every time, along with buying gifts for Wēn Jiǎn. 。
Shu Tinglan and her mother were both foolish at the time, praising her father for being considerate and caring. 。Shu Tinglan also foolishly listened to her father's words, and she would definitely apologize to Wen Jian the next day. 。Later, I thought about it. Every time she had a conflict with Wen Jian, my father never defended her, always making her apologize first. 。She would also complain to her mother feeling wronged, and her mother would only comfort her: "You should give in to Wen Jian a bit. She grew up without her father around, and her mother raised her alone which was very hard." 。"In retrospect, these well-intentioned acts by my mother were rather ironic! At my father's funeral, my mother cried uncontrollably. Shu Tinglan huddled in the corner of the mourning hall, overcome with grief and terror, unable to utter a single word. " 。The funeral was sparsely attended. None of her father's colleagues or relatives and friends dared to come to pay their respects, fearing they would be implicated in his affairs. Only she and her mother were present in the mourning hall. 。When Wen Jian and her mother Wen Lan entered, the mother was moved to tears, choked with sobs, saying only that there was still true love in the world, at least someone came to send her father on his last journey. Not everyone is so cold and selfish. 。Then Wen Lan and Wen Jian entered the spirit hall, they didn't even glance at her, but knelt directly before their father's portrait and ashes. 。"Daddy, Daddy" 。When Wen Jian knelt down, he let out a heart-wrenching cry of "Father," his voice choked with grief as if the pain was tearing him apart. 。Her call of "father" nearly choked Shu Tinglan. After so many years, he remembered Wen Jian kneeling on the ground, clutching her father's portrait and crying until she was curled up in a ball. Those heart-wrenching cries of "father," became an indelible image in her and her mother's nightmares. 。
"Lao Shu ah Lao Shu, you're really heartless, you leave, what about me and Xiao Jian" Wen Lan was also crying, crying on the ground, like she had lost her soul. 。The scene was eerie. Shu Tinglan and her mother were completely dumbfounded, clueless about what had transpired. They even suspected they might have cried at the wrong place
It wasn't until three days later that Wen Lan presented a kinship certificate, confirming that Wen Jian and Shu Tinglan were half-sisters from the same father. Wen Lan and her father Shu Ming had another family outside.
Mother doesn't believe 。It's impossible! Although Shuming isn't romantic, she is honest and trustworthy, responsible and family-oriented. Over the years of their marriage, they have rarely had a disagreement. Outsiders would think they are a very loving and happy couple. 。Shu Tinglan also didn't believe it. Although her father was strict and had high expectations of her, he was also very good to her. 。She was sick, he stayed up all night taking care of her; when she went to training class, no matter how late or cold it was, he insisted on picking her up and dropping her off; for anything she wanted, he almost always got it. 。Although her father wasn't close to her, in her heart, he was a protective guardian watching over her and her mother. 。"What do you want" the mother demanded, her voice sharp. "What about this family certificate It's just a piece of paper that can be forged easily." 。
As their name suggests, Wenlan people are known for their gentleness and kindness, giving off an air of elegance and grace. 。At this point, she was so frail that a gust of wind could knock her over. She took out a yellowed photo album from her bag and placed it on the coffee table. 。
The album is filled with photos of Shu Minghai holding Wen Jian in one arm and Wen Lan in the other. The "family of three" smiles happily at the camera, from when Wen Jian was a baby to his high school years. 。Wen Jian took out his phone and played several videos. 。Wen Jian was playfully teasing Shu Minghai, calling him "Daddy Daddy" with glee. Shu Minghai affectionately replied with "Baby Baby," showering her with love. Their heartwarming father-daughter relationship was truly touching to witness. 。。... nor will I play with her like in the videos ... 。He was always a serious, taciturn father. 。After looking through the photo album and videos, both Shu Tinglan and her mother's faces turned pale. She felt a tightness in her chest as if she couldn't breathe. Her mother immediately fainted. 。Shu Tinglan only felt like a huge stone was pressing down on her, trapping her in the muddy mire. 。ity was rather complicated, and without Shao Hui's permission, he couldn't casually bring it up."That kid, Gan An, is getting more and more out of line. He's too reckless and doesn't follow any rules....
