It was Lin Hui who prolonged this tragedy of losing a child for a full twenty years.

It is unforgivable.

Besides, whether or not Lin Hui can be forgiven is not up to her to decide, but rather to the person actually involved.

Yao Ge's biological parents, Yao Ge's beloved adoptive father, and Yao Ge himself.

This is a matter for them to decide.

study.

Xiao Jinhan and Tang Shengze stood by the bed, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, with cigarettes lit in their hands.

Tang Shengze noticed that when he lit a cigarette, he only took a small puff, just as he had said earlier: Yao'er didn't like the taste of cigarettes.

He stubbed out his cigarette and asked, "Mr. Xiao, I have a question for you."

"Um."

He nodded, his attitude gentle, even with a hint of respect, as if he would answer any question with care.

This alone has already earned Tang Shengze a great deal of goodwill.

He had seen too many rich young masters, who were arrogant and self-centered, while Xiao Jinhan, in terms of both his personal cultivation and appearance, could be described as a gentleman with both virtue and talent.

"Why do you call me Daughter Sixteen?"

Xiao Jinhan also stubbed out his cigarette, threw the butt into the trash can next to him, and gently patted the ash off his hands before saying, "This is a more intimate way of addressing each other. It would be more appropriate for Sixteen to explain the specific meaning to you in person."

His use of the formal "you" showed his respect.

Tang Shengze did not take advantage of his humble attitude as a sign of superiority because he was the father of his beloved. As usual, he said, "If I remember correctly, the first time she met you was when her mother sent her to you with ill intentions."

He nodded: "Yes."

"Given this situation, shouldn't a normal person like you avoid the Tang family? You say you like her and want to marry her, but I don't really believe it."

He asked about the most real and unbelievable aspect.

After saying that, he added, "I'm sorry, but as a father, I always have to be careful. I'm even more careful when doing business. Besides, Yao'er is my daughter, this isn't a business transaction."

Xiao Jinhan understood his father's concerns and replied, "As Uncle also said, this was something Madam Tang did. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with Sixteen. There is no barrier between us."

Tang Shengze was satisfied with this answer.

Xiao Jinhan addressed him as "Uncle" and Lin Hui as "Madam Tang," clearly showing that he looked down on Lin Hui, a person who would do anything for profit and sacrifice her daughter's happiness.

And as he said, the truth is that what Lin Hui did had nothing to do with Yao Yao.

"Rumor has it that you have a hidden illness, is that true?"

Xiao Jinhan replied, "Yes, Yaoyao cured my hidden ailment."

Upon hearing this, Tang Shengze seemed somewhat surprised, yet not particularly surprised at all.

Yao Yao has been very smart since she was a child, with an extremely high IQ. She is known as a genius. If she were to sincerely study medicine, it is not impossible that she could cure diseases and save lives.

Tang Shengze only has these two questions, which are also the most important.

The first problem was that he didn't want Xiao Jinhan to think, deep down, that his daughter was approaching him with ulterior motives.

If that's the case, his feelings for Yao Yao might just be temporary, and that feeling will fade away later.

The second issue is his health. Yaoyao doesn't care, but as a father, he's always selfish when it comes to his child.
