To be honest, I did drink too much that day..."
However, this is just superficial rhetoric.
In fact, there are deeper reasons behind Song Lianshan's actions.
"Bah, you shameless bastard! You weren't drunk at all! You knew Xilin Yu was Xi's father's daughter, so you just went along with it. You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Jiang Mianmian scolded angrily.
He later found out that Simmons was not Simmons's biological daughter. This fact was undoubtedly a slap in the face for him, who had always been ambitious, and proved that his cleverness had backfired.
After all, who doesn’t want to marry a real lady from a noble family and gain more resources and support?
But now, he could only marry someone else's stepdaughter - Simmons. This sense of disparity made him indignant, how could he be happy?
[Humph! That's right. You couldn't marry someone's biological daughter, but you only got to marry someone's stepdaughter. With your ambition, it's strange you'd be happy.]
[Haha, it's really hard for you. To please the Xi family, you work so hard every day to play the role of a love saint!]
Song Lianshan is really an excellent actor. He can always act like he is deeply in love with Simmons.
Otherwise, with his conditions and status, how could he abandon the Xi family's biological daughter and instead marry a stepdaughter?
However, the truth is not as simple as it seems. In fact, the Song family seemed to be prosperous at that time, but in fact, it was already empty inside and its wealth was almost depleted.
Compared with the wealthy Xi family, it is simply a dwarf.
Therefore, given Song Lianshan's identity, it would be extremely difficult for him to marry Xi's father's biological daughter Xi Linyu as he wished.
However, if we turn our attention to stepdaughter Simmons, the situation is completely different. After all, Simmons is also the daughter of the Xi family.
Although she is not Xi's father's biological child, her mother is Xi's father's second wife.
Moreover, this stepmother was able to firmly hold on to the position of Mrs. Xi by virtue of her remarriage, and she has been able to stand firm for so many years amidst numerous open and secret struggles. It can be seen that her methods must be quite powerful.
If she didn't have some outstanding qualities, how could she have such a strong influence on others?
It was precisely because of having such a powerful mother supporting her that Simmons was able to sit firmly in the position of the eldest daughter of the Xi family as a "stepdaughter".
If someone hadn't specifically mentioned this matter, many people would probably have been kept in the dark and mistakenly believed that Simmons was born by Simmons' father!
It is said that before Song Lianshan married Simmons, he firmly believed the rumor that Simmons was Xi's father's "illegitimate daughter".
Although his daughter-in-law is Xi's father's illegitimate daughter, his powerful mother-in-law is good at whispering in his wife's ear!
Song Lianshan pondered in his heart that his chances of winning in this battle for family property were quite high!
Well, later on, Song Lianshan also made a considerable contribution to the marriage of Xilinyu and Liu Wenrui.
However, what he never expected was that when Simmons was giving birth, the situation was quite dangerous and she almost lost her life due to dystocia.
At this critical moment, Song Lianshan accidentally overheard what Xue Ningyue said. It was no big deal, but he was stunned - it turned out that Simmons was not Xi's father's biological daughter at all!
Before this, Song Lianshan even once suspected that Xue Ningyue had used some shameful means to "deceive" Xi's father, which led to such a situation.
But who knew that before he could find a way to cover up the matter for Simmons.
Then, he learned another shocking truth - it turned out that from the very beginning, Simmons' father had clearly known that Simmons was not his biological daughter!
Song Lianshan's expression at that time was simply indescribable.
“…”
Damn, I was cheated!
Afterwards, when Song Lianshan questioned Simmons with a gloomy face, he saw Simmons's face was also full of confusion and innocence. He blinked his big eyes and responded:
"I'm not your biological child! Who told you I was? Everyone knows it. I was brought up by my mother when she remarried."
Song Lianshan's face was filled with frustration. He twisted his lips slightly and said, "But...but there are rumors everywhere...that you are his illegitimate daughter!?"
Simmons snorted, rolled his eyes, and replied unhappily:
"You can really take rumors seriously? Lin Yu is just spreading nonsense because she's jealous of my father who loves me like his own daughter. My parents are well aware of this!"
Since that day, although on the surface Song Lianshan's attitude towards Simmons remained the same, in fact, it had quietly changed.
In the past, whenever Xilin Yu approached him, he would always avoid her without hesitation, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
But things are different now...
