After she finished speaking, she took out a paternity test result between him and Fu Mengyao and placed it on the coffee table so that he could see it clearly.

Unsurprisingly, all their previous deductions were correct.

This seemingly respectable man is actually a hypocrite. He had an affair and had a child with her, and for the sake of this child, he did something that harmed his own daughter.

"Back then, wasn't it you who took the grapes away?"

Qiao Yong shook her head: "No."

Qiao Yanzhi was shocked that even with all the physical evidence, he could still shake his head. Her anger flared: "You're still lying?!"

Qiao Yong looked directly into her eyes and said, word by word, "I admit to everything I did, but I won't admit to anything I didn't do."

Qiao Yanzhi coldly questioned, "The facts prove that I only adopted Fu Mengyao after Grape was confirmed dead. If it wasn't part of your plan from the beginning, how could the subsequent events have occurred?"

Tang Yaoyao's fox-like eyes carefully examined his facial expressions, not missing a single detail.

He doesn't seem to be lying.

Or perhaps he's already a master liar, which is why he can remain so calm.

Qiao Yong closed his eyes, a deep sorrow filling his brows, as if some unwanted memories were rushing in, forcing him to think about them.

"Qiao Yong, don't think that you can let this go by staying silent. Mingzhu will find out about your affair and having an illegitimate child sooner or later. What do you think she will choose?"

A stinging pain appeared in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "...No."

"Then confess everything you and the woman behind you have done. Qiao Yong, you should know me. If I decide to make Mingzhu hate you for the rest of her life, there's no way you can change it."

Qiao Yong swallowed hard, clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, and her eyes were pale.

“At the beginning of all this, I thought that one day when the truth comes out, I will be willing to accept any punishment. I have only one request: don’t let Mingzhu know about this.”

"Oh!"

Qiao Yanzhi laughed, raised an eyebrow, and asked coldly, "Is this fair? Is it fair to me, and to Yao'er?"

Qiao Yong fell silent. He had always been a selfish person, both in the past and now. He knew that this was unfair to the Fu family, who had suffered for twenty years, but he still wanted to preserve the original beauty with Mingzhu.

"sorry."

Qiao Yanzhi's icy voice sounded extremely cold and unapproachable: "I don't want to hear your nonsense."

Qiao Yong remained silent, not intending to speak.

Qiao Yanzhi knew that he would only reveal everything about her and that woman over the years, or rather, expose that woman, if he insisted that she promise not to tell Mingzhu about this matter.

Even if Qiao Yong hadn't made the request, she would have done it anyway, not out of kindness towards him, but to show some tenderness to her sister who had suffered a miserable life.

But she was unwilling to be blackmailed.

"Qiao Yong, it seems you have no choice."

As she spoke, Qiao Yanzhi stood up and looked at the tightly closed study door: "I'm going to tell Mingzhu right now that you betrayed her. Let me guess, in front of her, will you tell her everything without holding back?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yong's face turned ashen: "Sister..."

Qiao Yanzhi paused, clearly provoked by the address: "Shut up. From the moment I found out Fu Mengyao was your daughter, she was no longer your sister."

Another long silence followed.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
