Such a shameless person, Yu Chu will definitely see through her true colors and divorce her.
Duan Hongguo frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Yueman~" With a terrible headache, he held his daughter's hand and said, "You are an educated person, how can you believe a rumor based on just one sentence from someone else? If we're talking about drugging, you were the one who made Yu Chu drink that glass of water, didn't you know that?"
Duan Yueman wanted to explain, but then she realized she also bore some responsibility, and looked at her father with a wronged expression, saying:
"But I didn't know that the water was spiked, and I feel really guilty."
“Then you shouldn’t comment on others like that. Lin Qiyue is also a victim. You…” He wanted to educate his daughter properly and correct her thinking.
But seeing how heartbroken she was, I couldn't bring myself to continue.
He stood up from the sofa, his back to his daughter, and said, "My child! Let me make this clear: the Lan family will not agree to their divorce, and you have no chance of marrying Lan Yuchu. Today I met your Uncle Lan, and he made it very clear that Lan Yuchu's wife can only be Lin Qiyue. Give up on that idea."
Hearing such resolute words, Duan Yueman was deeply moved, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"dad!"
She shouted "Dad!" and ran upstairs to her room, where she burst into tears.
Duan Hongguo arrived at the door of Duan Yueman's room.
He wanted to knock on the door to offer some comfort, but he lowered his raised hand.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned and went back to his study.
I took out a photo and saw a family of three smiling so happily.
A woman in a cheongsam, holding a baby less than six months old, smiled so happily.
The sadness in his eyes made him want to reach out and touch the woman in the photograph, but he didn't have the courage.
“Your child has grown up, and it’s my fault for not taking good care of her!” She said this with tears in her eyes, and then took out a photo from another box.
It was a photo of Duan Hongguo and his wife. She was pregnant at the time and asked to have a photo taken as a memento.
Looking at myself back then, I see a worried and distressed face.
The woman in the photo is wearing a little dress and a hat, and she is smiling happily.
He didn't like the female painter who had returned from overseas, but his family and superiors insisted that he marry her, so he had no choice but to marry her.
After marriage, his wife, Heidel, never complained about his indifference and kept the house in perfect order.
She shed her glamorous clothes because he disliked "Ms. Capitalist." She learned to wear cheongsams, shirts, and trousers.
They had been married for many years without having children until his father-in-law's birthday, when he got drunk and they consummated their marriage.
It was around that time that she became pregnant, and he was very unhappy about the outcome, feeling that it was a scheme orchestrated by their family.
When Haydell was nine months pregnant, he received a telegram from a friend saying that something had happened—their family's undercover identities had been discovered. The organization was sending people to rescue them, and he offered to go with them.
They begged him to take their two-year-old daughter away so that their family could have a bloodline.
Despite his wife's pleas, he resolutely went to find his friend's daughter.
When he returned, his wife and her entire family had been murdered, and his wife's whereabouts were unknown. The organization sent people to search for her, but to no avail.
"If our child were born, he would be twenty-one years old!" He felt remorse, self-blame, and guilt towards his wife.
With his daughter and wife missing, he not only failed to save his friend's family, but also lost his own wife and children.
Over the years, he has hated himself every moment, but his friend's daughter has become his daughter, and for the sake of this child, he must live well.
He had loved but couldn't have her, and he didn't want his daughter to follow the same path. He had wronged too many people, and he didn't want to wrong his only daughter as well.
I wiped away my tears and put the photos away.
