"No, no, no." Lin Hejiang immediately shook his head in denial: "You are not an illegitimate child, because your mother's relationship with me was entirely a scheme by Lin Heping."
He knew he couldn't have children, and after several months of marriage, he couldn't get your mother pregnant. But he didn't want your mother to know he couldn't have children, nor did he want anyone else to know.
So he found me and made me, made me, with your mother, so that your mother would get pregnant. Because we are twin brothers, any children your mother has, even if they look like me, will look like him. That way, no one will have to worry about anything.
I didn't want to agree at all. Your mother has always been a respected sister-in-law to me. How could I do that kind of thing with my own sister-in-law? But he kept begging me, and I had no choice but to agree because of our brotherly relationship.
That day, he deliberately got your mother drunk, and while she was out of her mind, he made me take his place. And with your mother, we…”
"Alright, stop talking!" Lin Qingyan felt a chill run down her spine and stopped him.
"Qingyan, I know you might not be able to accept this, but it's the truth. Later, I was transferred to work in another city, and for various reasons, I haven't been able to come back. Only now do I realize that I have another daughter."
"What were you doing all those years away from home? Did you never go back even once?"
“I did go back at first. But I saw that your mother and he were doing well. You were only one or two years old at that time. Lin Heping asked me not to go back anymore. He was afraid that if I went back too often, I would not be able to resist recognizing you. So I haven’t gone back since.”
"Do you know where Lin Heping is now?"
“I know he’s in jail now. And I also heard you went to the countryside. Dad was going to go there to find you, but before I could get there, you came here.”
I'm so glad that fate allowed me to see you so soon. Qingyan, my daughter and I haven't been together for over ten years. Originally, I never planned to acknowledge you as my daughter in this lifetime.
But Heping is in jail now, and he can't take care of you anymore. So I have to fulfill my responsibility as a father. Qingyan, reunite with your father, and let him try his best to make up for the years of neglect and neglect you've suffered.”
Lin Qingyan frowned and pondered for a while.
“I remember everything you said. You haven’t appeared for so many years, and now you suddenly pop up and want me to recognize you as my father. I can’t accept that at all.”
"Qingyan, I'm not asking you to accept me right away, because I know I'm really not a good enough father. It's okay if you can't accept me now, I can give you time. When you're willing to accept me, we can recognize each other as father and daughter."
Lin Qingyan finally nodded, "You go first, let me think about it carefully."
"good."
Lin Hejiang stood up and smiled at Lu Zhengting: "Thank you for taking care of my daughter during this time. I am very grateful."
Lu Zhengting smiled and said, "Qingyan is my wife. It's only right that I take care of her. I don't need anyone's thanks."
Lin Hejiang's expression froze for a moment. "Okay, I can see that you are an outstanding person, and I can also see how much you like and care for Qingyan. As a father, I am naturally happy that you two are so loving."
He glanced at the dumplings being made on the table and cutting board, and said, "Okay, you guys keep going, I'll be leaving now."
There were three people inside the house, and only Lu's mother saw him to the door.
When Lu's mother returned, she didn't know whether to be happy for Lin Qingyan or worried for her.
My father used to be a terrible father, and now my biological father has appeared. This should have been a happy thing for everyone.
However, this biological father seems to have appeared a little too late. After all, he was not there when Lin Qingyan needed him the most. Now, not only does Lin Qingyan not need him anymore, but his appearance may also become a burden on Lin Qingyan's emotions, making her feel more conflicted.
She went back inside and saw Lin Qingyan sitting blankly on the sofa. Lin Qingyan probably hadn't figured out how to handle this matter yet.
Although in her opinion, it wouldn't matter if this father didn't acknowledge her.
But she was, after all, an outsider, and blood ties and family affection are always the hardest things to sever.
This is a matter between a father and daughter; she can't empathize with their situation, so naturally she can't say much.
Lu Zhengting said, "Qingyan, whether you want to acknowledge him or not, I support you."
