"Nonsense!" Qin Dazhi cursed, but his voice trembled. "Xiao Tian is of course my son!"
Qin Tian stared blankly at Su Wantang, then at Qin Dazhi. Although he had always felt out of place with his father, he had never imagined it would be like this.
"If you tell me the truth, I'll help you pay off your debts," Qin Tian said slowly. "If you don't tell me, I'll leave now and never care whether you live or die again."
Qin Dazhi's eyes widened: "You ungrateful wretch! I raised you all these years, and this is how you treat me?"
"Support me?" Qin Tian sneered. "From childhood to adulthood, every penny I earned was gambled away by you. I started doing odd jobs at twelve, and started supporting the family at sixteen. Have you ever truly cared about me even once?"
"I..." Qin Dazhi was speechless.
"How many holes have I filled for you over the years?" Qin Tian's voice grew colder and colder. "I have been more than kind to you."
He turned to leave, and Qin Dazhi panicked. The creditors were already rubbing their hands together, their eyes filled with menacing intent.
Qin Dazhi's fingers were grabbed again.
The lead creditor held a kitchen knife, its cold blade pointed at Qin Dazhi's hand.
"Wait! Wait!" Qin Dazhi shouted, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "I'll talk! I'll talk, okay? But you have to give me the money first!"
Qin Tian stopped and took out a wad of cash from his pocket, throwing it to the creditor: "Take it."
The creditor took the money, counted it, nodded, and said, "That's enough." Then he left with his men.
The room fell silent instantly, leaving only four people inside.
Qin Dazhi sat on the ground and let out a long breath. Then he looked up at Qin Tian, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
“You want to know the truth? Fine, I’ll tell you.” His voice was hoarse. “You are indeed not my biological child.”
Su Wantang's heart pounded, and Lu Linchuan gently patted her back to comfort her.
“When my wife gave birth, it was a rainy day. My wife went inside to take shelter from the rain, and there was another woman giving birth next to her.” Qin Dazhi said with his head down, “That woman looked very rich. She was well-dressed, well-fed, and had maids serving her.”
"And what about us? We're dirt poor, we can't even afford baby formula. My wife said, rather than let our child suffer, we should let him live a good life."
"So you... changed it?" Qin Tian's voice trembled.
"Yes." Qin Dazhi nodded. "My wife switched the two children when no one was around at night."
Su Wantang asked eagerly, "What's that family's surname?"
"His surname is Su." Qin Dazhi looked up at her. "The woman's name is Su Yaqin, and I forgot the man's name. Anyway, he seems quite wealthy."
Su Wantang was stunned. Su Yaqin! That was her mother!
Qin Tian was also stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Su Wantang.
“So…so you are mine…” His voice caught in his throat.
"Uncle." Tears welled up in Su Wantang's eyes instantly. "You're my uncle!"
"Xiao Tang...you really are my niece." Qin Tian looked at Su Wantang with tears in his eyes.
Lu Linchuan was deeply moved as he watched this scene. Fate is truly wondrous, allowing two people who should have been connected by blood to reunite in such a way.
Now that they have recognized each other, the wife will have another family member from now on.
However, this aunt doesn't seem very easy to get along with.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached. (This chapter has been finished. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
