The moment the words left her lips, everyone in the Fu family hall stared in shock, and Fu Siyan even stood up abruptly:
"How could that be! Before Old Ma even came to the Fu family, Third Aunt had already given birth to Si Chun and Cheng Ze, okay? Gu Momo, even if you want to slander Third Aunt, you have to make up some convincing evidence! Anyone can spread rumors!"
Old Master Fu's pupils trembled violently, and his hand holding the documents shook involuntarily.
"This...this..." He was shocked that Zhao Yalan would do such a thing, and even more shocked that Gu Momo was able to find out about it. His trembling and fear all came from the unknown fear of Gu Momo!
Zhao Yalan turned pale with fright and frantically shook her head, crying out, "No, Second Uncle! You have to believe me, Second Uncle!"
"I have lived an honest and clean life. How could I possibly do such a thing with Lao Ma! Gu Momo is framing me. I'm going to sue her for defamation!"
Fu Chengze and Fu Sichun felt even more humiliated. They had been the apple of the Fu family’s eye since childhood and controlled countless assets of the Fu family. Gu Momo wanted to take everything away from them by slandering their background.
"Ha! That's ridiculous! With my noble status, how could I have a father like Old Ma? Do you think a ghost would believe that?"
Fu Sichun laughed in anger: "I thought Gu Momo had some skills, but it turns out she just relies on her mouth to spread rumors?!"
"Heh, whether this evidence is fake or not, we'll have to ask the doctor and Old Ma!" Gu Momo sneered contemptuously, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips as she looked at Old Ma with a half-smile: "Old Ma, what do you think?"
A faint smile played in her eyes, a smile that seemed beautiful and harmless, but in reality, it was like a steel knife held to Old Ma's neck.
Old Ma trembled violently, and before anyone could react, he knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, Yalan, I'm so sorry... I didn't want to betray you, but... I have my own reasons."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yalan shrieked like a dog whose tail had been stepped on: "Old Ma, what nonsense are you talking about! I... how could I possibly have anything to do with you? I'm warning you, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll take you and Gu Momo to court together!"
Although she warned Lao Ma, the panic in her words betrayed her inner fear.
Everyone present was discerning and could immediately tell that this was a fantastic show!
Fu Sichun and Fu Chengze were stunned, looking at Zhao Yalan in disbelief: "Mom! What happened?!"
Zhao Yalan panicked immediately and quickly avoided his gaze, saying, "What else could it be? Of course, Gu Momo and he conspired to frame us! You are the legitimate young lady and young master of the Fu family, how could you be his son?"
"Forget it, Yalan. I'm sorry, but we... we have no chance of winning!"
Old Ma's aged voice seemed to have witnessed countless vicissitudes: "Second Master, do you still remember the reason I joined the Fu family as a plantation worker? I said it was because Ya Lan and I were from the same hometown, but in reality, we were more than just from the same hometown. We were childhood sweethearts who loved each other dearly, understood each other deeply, and even vowed to grow old together..."
Everyone in the hall gasped in shock, and Fu Chengze and Fu Sichun looked as if they had been struck by lightning!
"Stop talking! Shut up!" Zhao Yalan threw the teacup at Lao Ma as if she had gone mad.
The teacup hit Old Ma squarely on the forehead, immediately creating a bloody hole that flowed down his forehead.
But the hole in Old Ma's heart was far more painful than the hole in his forehead.
Seeing the coldness in Zhao Yalan's eyes, Old Ma couldn't stop his tears from flowing.
"Back then, we were young and impetuous. Before we were even married, Ya Lan became pregnant unexpectedly. But it was precisely at this time that Ya Lan met Fu Yunhe, the Third Master Fu. Ya Lan and Fu Yunhe exchanged glances several times. I just found it strange at the time, but because I trusted Ya Lan, I didn't confront her. But not long after, I heard that Ya Lan had a one-night stand with the Third Master Fu and became pregnant. The Third Master Fu then announced his marriage to Ya Lan. That's when I found out that Ya Lan had deliberately staged a one-night stand with Fu Yunhe while pregnant with my child, and then lied to the Third Master Fu, saying that the child was his and demanding that he take responsibility..."
Does he hate it? Of course he hates it, but so what?
Although his family was considered middle class in Yecheng, how could they compare to the Fu family, whose wealth was comparable to that of a country?
So he didn't hate Ya Lan, he only hated himself for not being capable enough to keep the woman he loved most!
Zhao Yalan couldn't listen anymore, and frantically covered her ears, pleading, "Stop talking! I beg you, stop talking!"
“Back then, she was afraid that the Fu family would look down on her for being poor, so she came back and pretended to cry and tell me she regretted it. But she secretly stole my safe while I was sleeping, transferred all my assets to her, and then burned my house down!”
Old Ma's heart ached more and more as he spoke, his voice growing increasingly strained: "That's right! I came to the Fu family as a plantation worker to seek revenge on her! But I hate myself, I hate myself for softening my heart just because I saw my daughter, and even falling for Ya Lan's honey trap again, secretly getting her pregnant and giving birth to a son... It was only then that I learned that Third Master had health problems and was incapable of getting Ya Lan pregnant, but Third Master never doubted his own abilities, while Ya Lan did..."
He knew, of course, that Yalan's renewed approach to him was deliberate and had ulterior motives, but so what?
When they met again, he finally softened because of their more than 20 years of feelings!
So from then on, he finally understood: what's the point of revenge?
