"Mother, why don't you take the initiative to apologize to Father? This can't go on. Father doesn't even trust me anymore because of you."

The backyard was brightly lit with candles, and two figures arguing could be seen from afar outside the house.

"I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be the one apologizing? If he hadn't been so heartless and ungrateful to us, mother and son, and hadn't only thought about that wicked son, would he have ended up like this?"

Mo Hanyu was full of resentment and refused to compromise in the slightest.

Seeing her son urging her to apologize, she even felt a little disheartened.

"But you've always been like this. My father doesn't trust me at all. I'm stuck here in the south doing nothing. I'm like a useless person all day long!"

Gao Junning couldn't help but complain.

He originally thought that by coming to the south with his mother, he could finally take complete control of the country. But no one expected that Gao Changhong would come after him and easily seize all the power in the south.

Old ginger is spicier; he can't outwit his father at all and still needs to learn from him!

However, because he listened to his mother's advice and ran away alone, his father no longer trusts him.

This has been a source of great frustration for Gao Junning.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Now your father only has you as his son. That wicked son has betrayed him. When he gets old and dies, won't all of this be yours?"

Mo Hanyu wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, that unfilial son and Gao Changhong had completely fallen out, which was the result she wanted to see.

He only has one son, Gao Junning. Even if he treats him coldly for a while, won't everything belong to Gao Junning in the future?

That's why she kept holding her breath and didn't apologize to Gao Changhong.

"Who said that? Father isn't that old. If he wants, he can find another woman and have another child. But Mother, you just need to apologize and get Father to forgive you."

Maybe my father will reinstate me and even help me win Su Liluo back. Then I wouldn't be in this situation, having nothing at all!

"Don't even think about Su Liluo, that bitch! There's no way you two can ever be together!"

Seeing that her son was still thinking about Su Liluo, Mo Hanyu's anger, which had subsided, rose again.

That woman wasn't satisfied with stealing her husband; now her daughter is harming her own son!

But Gao Junning was unconvinced and stubbornly said, "Why? Why can't I think about it? Mother, your son will definitely take her back!"

He was unwilling to accept it!

Seeing Gao Junning's stubbornness, Mo Hanyu gritted her teeth and glared at him, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Because she is your sister! She is also the daughter of your father and that woman. You are siblings, how can you marry her!"

"What did you say?"

Gao Junning swayed, wondering if he was hallucinating.

younger sister?

My mother said that Su Liluo is her younger sister?

How could this be...?

He found it hard to accept the result.

At the same time, a figure standing outside also froze for a moment.

Gao Changhong felt as if his blood had frozen. His deep eyes were filled with disbelief, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Su Liluo is actually my daughter?

Is it...is it the daughter that Ruan Ruan gave birth to?

Isn't she... Su Zhen's daughter?

Wasn't it because Ruan Ruan betrayed him and married someone else that she had this illegitimate child?

How could it be his own daughter?

For a moment, his mind was in complete chaos as he recalled various scenes of his past with Jiang Ruan, as well as the scene of her disappearance and escape.

Suddenly, he remembered what the old lady Su had said when he went to the Su residence to inquire: Jiang Ruan was brought back by Su Zhen while heavily pregnant.

Could it be that back then...?

He immediately understood.

But why did Mo Hanyu know about this while he was kept in the dark? What does all this have to do with Mo Hanyu?

Driven by intense curiosity, he suddenly kicked open the door.

Li asked sharply, "Mo Hanyu, is what you just said true? How did you know?"

Mo Hanyu and Gao Junning were surprised to find Gao Changhong eavesdropping outside the door. They were astonished to see his furious expression.

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything."

Mo Hanyu glanced away guiltily, not daring to look at Gao Changhong.

But Gao Changhong strode in from outside, stopped in front of her, and looked down at Mo Hanyu who was sitting there.

"You just said that Su Liluo is my and Ruan Ruan's daughter. Is that true? How did you find out? Why have you been keeping it from me?"

Gao Changhong suppressed his anger and clearly repeated it.

"You misheard me, I didn't say that."

Mo Hanyu vehemently denied it.

Gao Junning, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. His mother had just said that Su Liluo was her younger sister, so why was she denying it now?

Should he believe her or not?

"I am not deaf. What are you trying to argue about? Tell me, wasn't it you who drove Ruan Ruan away back then? Did you even want to kill her?"

Gao Changhong roared again in anger, his eyes turning slightly red.

Mo Hanyu laughed in anger upon hearing this, "I did want to get rid of her, but I really didn't drive her away. She wanted to leave on her own. She didn't want you!"

"No! You're lying to me. Ruan Ruan wouldn't abandon me. You must have forced her away! Back then, I had some reservations and didn't dare to lay a hand on you. Later, I didn't hold it against you for the sake of the two children."

But now, you clearly know that Ruan Ruan gave birth to my daughter, yet you didn't tell me, and even watched me do something as foolish as trying to marry my daughter to my son. You did it on purpose!

As Gao Changhong spoke, he became more and more agitated, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Mo Hanyu's neck.

"Mo Hanyu, I will kill you, you poisonous woman!"

"Father, let go! What are you doing? You can't kill Mother, she's your wife!"

Gao Junning was terrified by the situation and quickly tried to persuade him.

No matter what, he couldn't just watch his father kill his mother with his own hands!

Mo Hanyu's face turned red from Gao Changhong's pinching, and she couldn't utter a single word. He even lifted her body off the stool.

Gao Changhong was already incredibly tall, and from this angle, Mo Hanyu looked like a chick being held in his hand, her legs struggling in the air.

"Father! Let go! If this continues, Mother will die!"

Gao Junning was extremely anxious, but Gao Changhong seemed to be possessed and ignored his words.

Finally, Gao Junning couldn't wait any longer and had no choice but to forcefully push Gao Changhong away.

"Cough cough..."

Mo Hanyu collapsed to the ground, breathing and coughing incessantly.

Just now, she truly felt the threat of death. This man who had shared a bed with her for over ten years really wanted to kill her!
