Zheng Juan's stubborn eyes fell on Zheng Feng. Would her father choose to believe her or Zheng Nana?
Zheng Feng's heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, swaying back and forth between Zheng Juan and Zheng Nana. On one side was his biological daughter, to whom he owed so much and who had a stubborn personality; on the other side was his adopted daughter, whom he had raised for many years and who was well-behaved and adorable.
Seeing Zheng Feng waver, Zheng Nana cried even harder, almost fainting in his arms: "Dad... I really didn't... Su Wantang is just jealous of me, she and Zheng Juan are in cahoots..."
"Jealous of you?" Su Wantang's lips twitched as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Jealous of what? Jealous of your acting skills, or jealous of your ability to distort the truth?"
She slowly took a voice recorder out of her pocket.
She happened to witness this scene when she came for a walk on the beach.
She then took out a voice recorder from her storage space and recorded the whole scene.
With a soft "click" and a faint electrical hum, a sharp yet familiar voice clearly emanated from the small black box—
Why did you show up?
“My dad and I were living a good life, but everything changed as soon as you came back! Now he only sees you, and he doesn’t even care about me anymore!”
That's Zheng Nana's voice! Not a single word is different, even the undisguised sarcasm and contempt are perfectly replicated.
Zheng Feng's arm holding Zheng Nana suddenly stiffened.
Zheng Nana's face turned deathly pale.
She never imagined that Su Wantang, that bitch, would have a recording pen!
In the recording, Zheng Juan's voice was calm: "I never thought of taking anything away. He is also my father. You can't deprive us, father and daughter, of our right to be together just because you're unhappy."
"Shut up!" Zheng Nana's voice became shrill.
"You don't deserve it at all! I am Dad's daughter! If you hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have ruined our relationship!"
The recording is still ongoing.
“But I hope you understand that I am Dad’s biological daughter. You, as an adopted daughter, shouldn’t go too far.” This was Zheng Juan’s voice, suppressing her anger.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Nana's voice rose again: "Did I say you could leave?!"
The color drained from Zheng Nana's face in an instant. She froze in Zheng Feng's arms, forgetting even to cry, her eyes fixed on the tape recorder in Su Wantang's hand, as if she wanted to stare a hole through it.
"This...this is fake! It's synthetic!" Her voice trembled, and she spoke incoherently.
However, in the recording, her own voice underwent a dramatic transformation at that moment. One second it was sharp and sarcastic, the next it turned into a weak plea. The change in tone was so rapid that even Zheng Feng, who had been listening to her voice for over a decade, found it unfamiliar.
"Little sister, please don't send me away, okay? Even though I'm not Dad's biological daughter, I've spent so much time with him..."
"Please don't send me away..."
These were exactly the words he had overheard as he approached!
The evidence is irrefutable.
Zheng Feng's mind went blank, as if he'd been struck by a heavy hammer. He looked down at the deathly pale face in his arms, still trembling, and for the first time, it felt so unfamiliar. Was the obedient, sensible, and understanding Nana really the same person as the aggressive, scheming girl in the recording? (This chapter has been read.
