"What's the meaning?"
"Fourteen years ago, Dad found out about you and Shi Ran's mother being together. He didn't want you to be together because her family was poor. He locked you in the house, confiscated your phone, and wouldn't let you leave the room."
"Yeah." Shi Ran's father remembered what happened then. The door was locked, the windows were sealed, and he was completely locked in the room for more than a month. "And then?"
I don't understand why you are talking about things that happened more than ten years ago.
"At the time, I was also with my ex-husband."
My aunt has started calling him her ex-husband.
Anyway, divorce has become an established fact.
"Our Shi family is the richest in Nanhu. Dad wanted you to be the heir, so he didn't allow you to be together. He wanted to find you someone of equal status who could help the Shi family. Of course, he didn't like my ex-husband, but I was already two months pregnant at the time, so I begged Dad to let us be together."
Shi Ran's father listened to her and clasped his hands tightly together.
"Dad said that if he wanted me to be with him and agreed to our marriage, there must be two conditions."
"What conditions?"
My aunt took a deep breath, sighed, and then said, "One is to let him marry into your family, and the other is to let me ruin your relationship."
"What did you do?"
Shi Ran's father asked in a calm tone.
"I destroyed all her jobs. Every time she found a new one, it was destroyed within two days. I had people monitor her and restrict her from leaving Nanhu. She was always under my radar. I even used threats and warnings. I used every possible means I could."
These words are like needles, piercing my heart again and again.
He couldn't utter a word.
She had endured so much during the time he was imprisoned.
"It wasn't just her. I also disturbed her family. Within a month, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and said she would never see you again. Later, you were released and all your contact information was changed. Dad had people following you the whole time, so you couldn't escape. Even if you did, you would be caught quickly. The contact information was changed, so you couldn't see her at all."
"Why?" Shi Ran's father's voice trembled slightly. "It's been so long, why did you tell me? Why do you still want to talk about this?"
My aunt lowered her eyes and took two steps back, leaning against the wall.
for a long time.
Then I heard her speak.
"Because I feel sorry for Shi Ran, especially from the moment she appeared. She was so young and seemed to have such a hard life. She was obviously the most innocent, but because of the adults, her life was not easy."
“…”
My aunt hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, when she gave birth to Shi Ran, she came to me and wanted to give the child to me."
"What?"
This statement was more shocking than her saying that she would use some means to destroy them.
"At that time, I also gave birth to twins, about half a year later. She promised not to see you again, but she was afraid that I would continue to hurt her family and disrupt her work because she didn't keep her promise, so she came to me first. Because she got pregnant out of wedlock and refused to abort the children, she broke up with her parents. Because she got sick during the difficult labor, she will have to take medicine all the time and can't afford to raise the children, so she wanted to give the children to you."
Judging from Shi Ran's and the twins' birthdays, they became pregnant a month or two apart. Shi Ran's aunt discovered her pregnancy first, and for her own happiness, she ruined the lives of Shi Ran's mother, who hadn't yet discovered she was pregnant, and Shi Ran's father, who was locked up at home. By the time Shi Ran's mother discovered her pregnancy, she had already promised Shi Ran's aunt that she would no longer see Shi Ran's father, even though he was no longer imprisoned in his room.
She kept her promise and did not contact Shi Ran's father again. When she became ill and could no longer raise the child, she wanted to give the child to Shi Ran's father, but failed. Only after her death could she give the child to Shi Ran's father.
When Shi Ran's father listened, he felt his hands and feet were cold. He put one hand on the wall to prevent himself from falling.
He was pale and stared at her without saying a word.
My aunt pinched her eyebrows and continued, "I was afraid that it would affect your future marriage, so I didn't agree. Even if you really love her, for her, you don't want the Shi family's property, don't want marriage, and remain single."
He truly loves her, and has never fought for the family property over the years. He doesn't even have any interest in arranged marriages. No matter who she is, he is a gentleman but not out of line.
Always single.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be with her.
He is too weak in character.
After we lost contact, I never investigated again, thinking that she no longer loved me and had already started a new family. I was just letting my imagination run wild.
But it hurt her.
"Actually, I was also afraid that this was her conspiracy, trying to tie you down with the child. She could have aborted the child, but she gave birth to it. I couldn't find any other reason except that she wanted to use the child to marry into the Shi family. I thought too badly of her and drove her away without even investigating. It wasn't until later, when you brought Shi Ran back, that I re-investigated what had happened and realized that she really had no choice but to find me. She really fell ill and had been taking medicine and taking care of Shi Ran. She had a hard time, which is why Shi Ran was malnourished. Before she died, she entrusted someone to give the child to you."
She still doesn't know whether Shi Ran's mother gave birth to the child because she really loved him.
Or maybe, he really couldn't bear to part with Shi Ran's little life.
No one knows why the child was kept.
If her illness wasn't serious and she hadn't passed away, she probably really didn't intend to let Shi Ran's father see Shi Ran again.
