Chapter 264 Vacation and Relaxation

Qiu Shanhe: "It's not just a matter of interests. He's also angry that you killed his woman Ji Jihua."

Hongtai's expression changed immediately when he heard this.

"What? He knows all this?"

"I know. You've been sleeping with his women and cheating on him, and he's been helping you raise your daughter. Now you've even killed his concubine. No man can handle this. He feels like you're embarrassing him time and time again!"

"I...I had no choice but to kill Ji Ji Hua!"

"Then why did you kill the Second Madam, General?"

Hongtai seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but after thinking it over, he told the truth.

"As a man, it is indeed difficult to say such things, but in order to save Rongrong, I think it is better to let you know the truth. I am a person who cherishes old feelings. Although I was unwilling to let go of my love after Duanmu Jin stole my love, I gradually let it go. But I didn't expect that not long after Ji Jihua got married, she came to me and cried, saying that Duanmu Lin often ignored her, and even his first wife and other concubines often bullied her. She said that she was already very wronged when she married him, and that Duanmu Lin didn't treat her as a treasure and held her in the palm of his hand, which made her resentful, so she often came to me to retaliate against his family. I like her and pity her, so I often secretly have an affair with her. I guess Duanmu Rong made her pregnant at that time. If you hadn't found out about this, I'm afraid Ji Jihua and I would never know in this life. How did you know she was my daughter?"

"Duanmu Lin and Ji Jihua both have double eyelids, so there's no way they could have given birth to Rongrong with single eyelids. And you just happen to have single eyelids, and we just happened to hear about your past relationship from Ji Jihua's elder brother. So when I saw you two looked somewhat similar at the Sky Blue Casino, I made this bold guess. I took the cigarette butts and Rongrong's hair for testing, and I never thought you were actually father and daughter."

Hongtai: "What good does it matter if I know? Now I don't even know if I can look at her again."

Qiu Shanhe: "General, please continue to tell your story. Perhaps there is still room for improvement!"

Hongtai: "After that, through my hard work, I slowly climbed up to my current position and married the daughter of a cabinet minister. However, I still couldn't break off my relationship with her until that day..."

Qiu Shanhe: "She said she's pregnant? Is the child yours?"

Hongtai: "Yes, but I am sure that the child is not mine."

Qiu Shanhe: "You have always maintained that kind of relationship. How can you be sure that the child is not yours?"

Hongtai: "Because my tigress has a heart disease and is not suitable for bearing children, I was forced to get a sterilization. That Ji Jihua not only cheated on me with Duanmu Lin again, but also wanted me to become a father. Not only that, she also wanted to use the evidence of our affair that she had in her hands to make me divorce the tigress and marry her. She knew that this would destroy everything I had worked for before, but she didn't care and was determined to destroy me. Since she is heartless, don't blame me for being ungrateful. I had no choice but to kill her."

Qiu Shanhe: "Before you killed an unarmed pregnant woman, didn't you ever think about the tenderness you once shared?"

Hongtai: "I was able to climb to this position, so naturally I had to give up something that many people were unwilling to give up. Ji Jihua has long been someone else's woman. For me, abandoning her is as simple as throwing away a pair of shoes that don't fit. There is no regret at all."

Qiu Shanhe thought to himself, "How dare you brazenly say in front of me that you're someone who cherishes old feelings."

Qiu Shanhe: "Then why would you care about an illegitimate daughter who might not even acknowledge you?"

Hongtai: "When you reach my age, you will understand that no matter how powerful a person is in this world, they can't take anything with them. In the end, only their own bloodline can survive forever. I finally found out that I have this daughter, and this time, I will protect her no matter what."

Qiu Shanhe: "I'll go talk to Duanmu Lin and see if this matter can be resolved privately. After all, you really are the one who killed him."

Hongtai: "Very good, go tell him that as long as he is willing to release my daughter, he can do whatever he wants to me to vent his anger."

Qiu Shanhe: "Anything is really possible?"

Hongtai: "Go talk to him first and see what conditions he offers."

Qiu Shanhe nodded and walked out of the army. When he arrived at the door, the soldier who had just sent him up hurriedly nodded and bowed to him disrespectfully.

Duanmu Jin, who had been spending days like years in the car, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiu Shanhe finally come out.

With a "bang", Qiu Shanhe closed the car door, and then Duanmu Jin started the car and drove towards his home.

Both of them were silent on the way, but when Duanmu Jin saw Qiu Shanhe's confident look, he knew that he had already come up with a plan in mind. When he thought about how he had been worrying about him before, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Qiu Shanhe: "Why are you laughing? Don't you want to know what I said to Hongtai in there?"

Duanmu Jin: "Don't pretend, have you finished this?"

Qiu Shanhe: "We are only one step away from success."

Duanmu Jin: "Well, I'm waiting to see your performance. So where are you going now?"

Qiu Shanhe: "Send me to Baixue Manor."

After Duanmu Jin sent Qiu Shanhe to Baixue Manor, he was about to get out of the car to go see Duanmu Rong with him but was stopped by Qiu Shanhe.

Duanmu Jin was puzzled: "Can't I even look at my own sister?"

Qiu Shanhe: "I have no objection to how you want to visit her after everything is done, but I really don't want you to see her now."

Duanmu Jin: "Why? Don't you believe me?"

Qiu Shanhe: "No reason, if you believe me then just do as I say!"

Duanmu Jin quietly closed the car door

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Qiu Shanhe got out of the car and walked a few steps, then turned back and reached through the car window to say to Duanmu Jin: "Thank you."

Duanmu Jin smiled at him and said, "Go quickly. If you're late, I won't wait for you."

Qiu Shanhe also smiled at him and turned to enter the Snow White Manor.

In the manor, the two newcomers Duanmu Rong and Su Mo get along particularly well because they are of similar age and have similar interests.

Duanmu Rong: "How long will it take you to give birth to this child?"

Su Mo: "It's almost time, probably two or three months!"

Duanmu Rong: "Why isn't the child's father here?"

Su Mo touched her belly and said, "He didn't want us mother and child and he died a long time ago."

Duanmu Rong showed a guilty look and said, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad memories."

Su Mo: "It's okay, I'm lucky. If he hadn't died, I don't know how long he would have tortured me. Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. A beautiful lady from a wealthy family like you should have married and had children at your age, right?"

Duanmu Rong blushed: "I wouldn't do it so early. My father hasn't arranged anyone for me, and my mother just died."

Su Mo: "So you also have a story, but at least you should have a sweetheart, right?"
