Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 891
She would rather be heartbroken now than spend her whole life on one man.
Don't forget where she came from.
She never had high expectations of men, and Ding Yu was an exception, but now it seems that this special case should be revoked.
Le'an nodded as if she understood, then said, "But Miss Doukou, you're still pregnant..."
Are you suggesting that this child should be born without a father?
Doukou's eyes dimmed when she mentioned her child.
She raised her hand to her lower abdomen and said, "Everyone in this world has their own destiny. Besides, some people are better off without a father."
Take her for example.
Her father was an absolute beast.
Anyone with a shred of humanity wouldn't sell their own daughter to a brothel.
Thinking of that past event, a chill flashed in Doukou's eyes.
Then she laughed again: "By the way, young lady, I found my father a few days ago."
Huo Zhao raised an eyebrow slightly: "How is it?"
"He was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money at the casino. He was beaten half to death. Those people were afraid that he would lose everything if he died, so they didn't dare to beat him too badly. Now, they're forcing him to do hard labor."
His father was all alone outside, with no relatives by his side. He was afraid that the creditors would not be able to get anything from him. Now they made him do whatever they could, treating him like an animal.
Even though he was her biological father, Doukou felt only satisfaction upon hearing the news, without the slightest pity.
Le'an hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
In her view, no matter what had happened before, they were still father and daughter; what obstacle couldn't they overcome?
It's really inappropriate for Doukou, as a woman, to act so decisively.
Le'an has always been straightforward, and since he thought this way, he said it.
But before she could finish speaking, Huo Zhao interrupted her directly: "Doukou, what are you going to do next? Are you going to kick them out directly, or is there some other way? If needed, I have plenty of people here."
Doukou's face had been somewhat somber, but upon hearing Huo Zhao's words, she burst out laughing: "No need, miss. As for manpower, I have plenty here, enough for everyone."
I've come here today to tell you that my mind is made up; I will not keep this person. If there's anything I need your help with in the future, please do so; I would be eternally grateful.
“There’s no need for such formalities between us,” Huo Zhao said. “If you need any help, just let me know.”
The two of them were allies; helping her was helping himself, and Huo Zhao understood this principle very well.
Doukou smiled and nodded: "Then I won't thank you, Miss. It's getting late, and I need to get back before Ding Yu to talk to my mother about this. I won't sit down any longer."
"good."
Watching Doukou leave alone, Huo Zhao let out a long sigh, looked at Le An, and said with some displeasure, "Why were you so reckless today?"
"This servant..." Le'an opened her mouth, "This servant has always been this kind of person... Besides, young mistress, what did this servant say wrong? After all, they are father and daughter. What kind of huge misunderstanding could there not be? Why did we have to go to this?"
"So, according to you, what I did to the Yun family before was also unforgivable?"
A faint sense of oppression spread out.
Jixiang almost knelt down.
Le'an quickly added, "That's not what I meant. The Yun family... after all, they aren't your biological parents, and they treated you so badly. It's not surprising that you were a bit harsh on them. But Doukou's father is her biological father!"
