Ni Sitian never imagined that she wasn't Ni Qianshan's biological daughter!

"What exactly happened?" Ni Sitian raised her voice when she saw Ni Qianshan stammering and not answering her question.

“It has been tested.” Ni Qianshan pursed his lips, his eyes flickering.

"Why would you suddenly think of getting a DNA test? Just because my mom set the fire?" Ni Sitian felt it didn't make sense. She remembered that she and Ni Qianshan had the same blood type, so why would she get a DNA test for no reason? It couldn't be that her mom set the fire and told him about it, could it?

Her mother's arson was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision, so why would she say something like that before setting the fire? Wasn't she afraid that Ni Qianshan would strangle her?

"Anyway, I've already had it tested." Ni Qianshan said evasively, avoiding Ni Sitian's gaze.

“Tell me everything, and I’ll have He Cuiyun and Ni Ziqi arrested. I’ll also hire a lawyer for you. As for how serious your crime is, that’ll depend on the court’s verdict.” Ni Sitian didn’t want to hear only a partial story; she wanted to know the whole story.

Upon hearing Ni Sitian's words, Ni Qianshan gritted his teeth, glanced at the police behind him, blushed with shame, and uttered, "I want to have a son, but I haven't been able to for many years. Neither your mother nor He Cuiyun has been able to conceive again. After the fire, I went for a physical examination and also had this aspect checked. The diagnosis I received was congenital asthenospermia."

Ni Sitian was stunned. Xu Tingchuan had used this trick when he lied to her before, and she had thought that her inability to get pregnant was his problem.

Unexpectedly, it was Ni Qianshan who actually had this problem.

"Later, He Cuiyun kept saying that you didn't look like me. After she said it so many times, I became suspicious. I took your hair and mine to have them tested, and it turned out that you really weren't my daughter." Ni Qianshan had already said the most humiliating thing, and the rest of the story flowed much more smoothly. "At that time, I was afraid that others would find out that I couldn't have children, so I simply decided to keep you."

Men with such secrets are prone to feeling guilty, afraid of being looked at differently by others. Moreover, they are naturally concerned about their image. If people find out that their wives have cheated on them and had an illegitimate child, given their nature, they fear that the rumors will become increasingly unpleasant.

Originally, he and Sitian's mother, Gu Linping, had been married for many years without having children, which caused a lot of gossip among the neighbors. Later, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Gu Linping. He then met He Cuiyun, a newly widowed woman. He Cuiyun was much more exciting in bed than Gu Linping. He thought He Cuiyun was fertile because of her full hips and slender waist, unlike Gu Linping who was so delicate. So he wanted He Cuiyun to give him a son.

Actually, he did consider abandoning Ni Sitian, but after overcoming the psychological trauma of those years, Ni Sitian had grown up. How could he abandon a child in her teens? But the more he looked at her, the more he disliked her, so he became more and more harsh and allowed He Cuiyun and Ni Ziqi to bully her.

"So you're upset that my mom can't give birth?" Ni Sitian's temples twitched.

“After I brought He Cuiyun in, your mother found out she was pregnant.” Ni Qianshan tried to defend himself, “Back then, it was easy to invite a god in but hard to send him away, and He Cuiyun refused to leave.”

"Heh, so you've got the best of both worlds. My mom gave birth to me, but you complained that I wasn't your son, and you were incredibly harsh on her, even driving her to depression along with He Cuiyun." Ni Sitian trembled with anger, her eyes bloodshot.
