Chapter 30 She is not her father's child

"If you keep causing trouble, you can forget about ever seeing that little bastard again!"

Yuanyuan felt her blood rushing backward; this... this was her father's voice.

She jogged over and pushed open the door, and the scene that greeted her made her eyes turn bloodshot.

Dad was grabbing Mom's hair and slamming her head against the wall.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound was frightening just to hear. My mother's forehead was red and swollen, and blood beads were flowing down her cheeks, dripping onto the ground like blooming flower petals.

"Shut up!"

The mother reached out to push the father, her voice weak and feeble, the force of her push almost negligible.

"Yuanyuan is my daughter, you can't talk to her like that!"

"Why can't I say it?" Dad became even fiercer, reaching out to grab Mom's neck.

"Isn't she just a bastard child you had with some other man?"

"Yuanyuan, she's not, she's not!"

The man slapped her hard across the face. "What do you mean, 'not'? You dare to do it but not admit it?"

"Believe it or not, I'll just kill her."

Yuanyuan was completely stunned.

What did Dad mean?

Was she an illegitimate child born to her mother and another man?

She's not her father's child?

The mother, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped moving and her hand fell limply to her side.

Her angry eyes filled with tears, and she pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Don't touch her... I'll be good, please don't hurt Yuanyuan..."

"Mother…"

She rushed over to hug her mother, but her hands passed right through her mother's body.

She couldn't touch her mother's body at all.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

Yuanyuan could no longer hold back her tears, which kept flowing down her face. She reached out her little hands to hug her mother, but her hands couldn't touch her mother at all; they passed right through her mother's body.

She stamped her feet in frustration, her face streaked with tears and snot: "Daddy's bad! Let go of Mommy!"

The man, of course, couldn't hear her voice and was still cursing: "I told you before, just transfer the company shares to me honestly. I didn't give them to you, and now you know you were wrong?"

The mother's head was hanging low, her shoulders were trembling, and blood and tears were mixed together, making her look extremely frightening.

Yuanyuan wasn't afraid of her mother, but she felt heartache for her, a deep, deep pain.

Her mother must have felt more pain than she did.

Yuanyuan rushed over again and hugged her father's leg tightly, wanting to bite him to vent her anger for her mother, but she still managed to get through.

Let alone causing harm, she can't even touch.

Yuanyuan squatted on the ground in despair, buried her face in her knees, and cried so hard she couldn't breathe.

"Mommy...Yuanyuan is scared! Please hug Yuanyuan!"

"Gu Shi'an, you beast, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

"You're the one who'll die a horrible death," Gu Shi'an said, as if he had just remembered something. He stopped what he was doing, took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and shoved the phone in front of his mother's face.

"I've got something good for you!"

Upon seeing the scene inside, the mother's eyes widened instantly, and she reached out to grab the phone, but the father shoved her away.

She fell to the ground in a disheveled state, the scene she had just witnessed still etched in her mind, slowly tearing at her flesh.

The screen was filled with water, and Yuanyuan's little head bobbed up and down in the pool. She waved her little hands wildly and splashed the water, her voice hoarse from shouting.

Hearing those repeated calls of "Mom!"

She felt a dull, aching pain in her chest, so intense that she felt nauseous.

That's disgusting, that beast is disgusting.

He told us about his situation before we got married, and he promised to treat Yuanyuan as his own child.

He made repeated promises and proposed three times before she finally agreed to marry him.

But in just a few years, after his company rose to prominence thanks to her family, he began to test the waters step by step.

First, he found a job for his first love, then he brought his first love's daughter home, wanting her to be his goddaughter. After she refused, he completely changed.

She started using passive-aggressive tactics, then threw a huge tantrum, which ultimately left her physically and emotionally scarred.

She wanted a divorce, but was locked up.

She hasn't seen her baby for almost 400 days.

...

Yuanyuan looked at herself on the screen and felt a chill run through her body. It was when her sister pushed her into the pool and said she wanted to play whack-a-mole with her.

Every time she tried to surface, she was stomped down, and eventually, she had no strength left to resist and could only sink to the bottom of the pool.

That day, water from the pool got into her nose, and it was so uncomfortable and painful.

In the end, the housekeeper, fearing she might drown, pulled her out of the water.

That evening she told her father, but he didn't believe her. He said she was a habitual liar and that at such a young age she was not learning to be a good liar.

She kept explaining, but her father still locked her in a dark room until the next evening when he finally released her.

She always thought her father had been deceived by her sister, but she never imagined that he had known all along.

Or perhaps he deliberately let his sister bully her like that.

This time it's... but before...

She felt a lot of pain; the pain in her chest made it hard for her to breathe.

"You're only given one chance to sign this contract, or you'll never see that little bastard again in your life!"

"Impossible, that was for Yuanyuan."

If they sign it, it will really harm Yuanyuan. This man has been completely insanely driven mad by greed.

"Fine, let's see how long you can keep up this tough act!"

Take out another phone, open a call, and put it on speakerphone.

"Baby, that little bastard is yours to have fun with, just keep him alive."

There was a pause of a few seconds on the other end of the phone, but she quickly recovered and teased, "Honey, isn't this inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with him, he's just a bastard, as long as he's not killed."

"Hehehe~ I know, I'll wait for you to come back."

She would recognize that voice even if it turned to ashes—it was Gu Shi'an's first love!

"No, don't hurt Yuanyuan! I'll sign! Give Yuanyuan back to me, and we don't want anything else!"

She staggered to the table, grabbed a pen, her hands trembling so much she could barely hold it.

"Mom! Don't sign it!!"

Yuanyuan rushed over to grab her mother's hand, but her hand passed right through her mother's body as soon as it touched her mother's arm.

Dad stared at Mom's hand as she signed, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Why didn't you do this sooner?"

After signing the document, the mother immediately looked up, her eyes full of expectation, "You released Yuanyuan, you promised, I signed it and you released her!"

Dad put the phone back in his pocket and sneered, "Put it away?"

She should have disappeared along with you, you bastard.

The mother's face turned deathly pale. After a long pause, she suddenly lunged at the father like a madwoman: "Where did you take her? Tell me! Give Yuanyuan back to me!"

Dad saw Mom rushing towards him and dodged to the side.

Then another screen appeared.

"What a pity, that little bastard thought you were in the sea and jumped in to find you himself."

"Look, she was still calling for her mother to save her, but she sank after only a few struggles. What a useless little brat."

"Impossible...it can't be..."

The mother murmured, "My Yuanyuan...my baby..."

She's only five years old, how could you treat her like this?

"You really should mourn for her."

"Gu Shi'an, you're not human!"

"Ha, the company is mine now. If you keep causing trouble, you'll end up like your short-lived daughter, feeding the fish in the sea."

Yuanyuan rushed over, trying to help her mother up, but her hand passed right through her mother's shoulder.

She crouched down next to her mother, pressing her face against her mother's arm but unable to touch anything, and could only call out again and again:

"Mother…

I'm here, I'm okay, don't cry.

As if she had heard, her mother suddenly looked up in her direction.
