"Why would I lie to you? They are the most indifferent couple I have ever met. They see each other all the time but never even greet each other and live their own lives. Even when Xu Zhimo is seeing other women, it doesn't make my mother angry at all."

"Actually, I can sense that my mother really dislikes Xu Zhimo. Maybe it's true, as you said, that he was the only one willing to marry into the Su family, which is why my mother had no choice but to get a marriage certificate with him, giving me a legitimate status."

"Large families are most averse to negative news. An heir with an unclear background will indeed attract a lot of gossip. Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom have good intentions."

Knowing the truth made Qin Fang even more heartbroken. He had a chance to experience happiness, but he had missed it.

"It's all my fault for letting your mother down. She's an unmarried girl, and the pressure she had to endure for getting pregnant out of wedlock was immense. In desperation, she found someone willing to marry into the family and give you a legitimate status."

A child is born without a father, and the gossip and whispers surrounding them are something no child can bear.

Wan Ning suffered because he came back too late, causing the two of them to miss each other. He didn't even have a chance to see her again, and she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

He hated himself for being useless.

Seeing the pain on Qin Fang's face, Su Ying asked, "Are you alright? Is something wrong?"

Qin Fang waved his hand, "I'm fine. I just feel especially sorry for your mother. Things shouldn't have turned out this way. She's so good and deserves all the best things in the world."

After hearing Qin Fang and her mother's story, Su Ying realized that she was very likely Qin Fang's daughter. However, she still had to be careful and not take over someone else's identity for no reason, making Uncle Qin her cheap father.

What if everything was just a coincidence? Wouldn't she be seen as an ungrateful person, and Uncle Qin be the one who overcame all difficulties to save her life?

Given his status and position, she would be happy to acknowledge him as her biological father, but if he weren't... she wouldn't have the audacity to claim an identity that didn't belong to her.

If her possessiveness prevents Uncle Qin from recognizing his biological daughter, that would be the last thing she wants to see.

What if Uncle Qin's wife and daughters are someone else, and she takes over their place, preventing the real ones from recognizing their ancestors? Wouldn't she then become the most heartless person?

"Uncle Qin, how can you be so sure that I am your daughter? Is my mother really the one you are looking for? Have you verified everything?"

Qin Fang nodded. "The investigation is complete. All the clues point to you as my daughter. When I first saw you on the train that day, you looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen you before. Actually, you look a little bit like my mother when she was young, so I felt a little bit familiar with you."

"Later, when I saw the jade pendant you were wearing around your neck, I became a little suspicious, which is why I lost my composure that day and asked you a lot of questions about the jade pendant."

"The more I thought about it after returning to Beijing, the more something seemed off. There are many jade pendants that look similar, but that doesn't prove anything. However, the fact that you look like my mother can't be a coincidence."

"Besides, you also have the surname Su, and Wan Ning also has the surname Su. I can't contain my excitement. Too many coincidences together are no longer coincidences."

"Either you are really related to me, or you were arranged by someone else to get close to me."

"But you showed no interest in finding out my identity, which made me suspicious. So I had someone specifically check your file and found that your mother's name is indeed Su Wanning. Then I pulled out a photo of her when she was young."

"I only realized you were my and Wan Ning's daughter when I saw the photo."

Su Ying still couldn't quite accept it, after all, her mother had clearly told her that Xu Zhimo was her scumbag father, and now suddenly such a perfect father had appeared.

It always feels like being hit by a pie, it's not quite real.

"This doesn't prove that I'm your daughter. It's been more than ten years, and it's a mess to begin with. It wouldn't be good for you if you admitted it wrong. You're in a high position now, and suddenly having a capitalist's daughter wouldn't be good for you. You should be more careful."

Qin Fang strongly disagreed with what she said. What did it matter if she was a capitalist's daughter? As long as she proved that she was Qin Fang's daughter, she was a legitimate and upright descendant.
