The venerable patriarch of the Feng family shifted his gaze from Gu Beiyi to Rong Sheng, his dark eyes gleaming with a gentle light. "Prince Yi, it's time to fulfill your promise!"
A promise? What promise? What kind of riddle are they playing?
Gu Beiyi: "Patriarch Feng, you're too hasty. Aren't you afraid of overdoing it?"
The old patriarch Feng said calmly, "What is there to be afraid of?"
“Back then…” Gu Beiyi smiled, his gaze softening as he looked at Rong Sheng’s puzzled face: “Originally, I planned to wait a while and take Sheng Sheng to the Feng family to meet you, but now that Sheng Sheng is here, you can say whatever you want to her. But I can’t guarantee that Sheng Sheng will go with you!”
Rong Sheng frowned: "Leave?" Then her slender, fair finger pointed at the old patriarch of the Feng family: "Gu Beiyi, what do you mean by that? I came to the capital with you, not with him! Why should I leave with him?"
Gu Beiyi: "Feng family patriarch, you explain yourself!"
What's going on? Rong Sheng was completely bewildered and utterly confused.
The old patriarch of the Feng family slowly stood up and walked towards Rong Sheng. He sat down in the chair next to Rong Sheng, but his gaze remained fixed on Rong Sheng's face, unblinking, as if he were looking at someone else through Rong Sheng's face, full of remembrance.
"So alike! Absolutely! Her appearance and eyes are so similar to her mother's!" The old patriarch of the Feng family stared intently at Rong Sheng: "At least nine-tenths similar!"
Rong Sheng: "..." (shrugs, confused!)
The old patriarch of the Feng family: "Little girl, do you know who I am? And why I want to see you here?"
"I don't know!" Rong Sheng replied truthfully.
The old patriarch of the Feng family was not disappointed, after all, Rong Sheng had never heard of his existence. If it weren't for Gu Beiyi, he didn't know when he would have been able to find the little girl.
“I am the previous head of the Feng family, Feng Sijin! Little girl, you can call me…” Feng Sijin’s face showed some disappointment and guilt, some unease and self-blame: “Call me… Father!”
Father! ! !
Rong Sheng jumped to her feet: "What did you say?" Father? What father? Could it be that this body's family is still alive? This man is the original owner's biological father? This is too... fantastical!
"Little girl, you heard me right!" Feng Sijin smiled. "I am your father! Your biological father! We share the same blood, we are family!"
"What a joke?" The original owner of Rong Sheng's memory had no impression of her biological father. Her memories were all of suffering and hardship. Before going to the Rong family, her memories were all painful and miserable.
There was never any protection or care from family, nor help or encouragement from friends.
If Rong Sheng had known she had a father before meeting the Rong family, and that he was the former patriarch of the Feng family, the most prestigious clan, she would have been overjoyed and full of anticipation for him! But after being loved by the Rong family, and since she was no longer the original Rong Sheng, she found it very difficult to accept this father who suddenly appeared!
"System! Don't tell me he really is Rong Sheng's biological father!"
System: "Not bad! But host, his body is very weak. If he doesn't receive immediate treatment, he won't live much longer! Moreover, there are hidden circumstances surrounding what happened back then, and it wasn't his wish! He didn't know about your birth! Now that he's like this, it must have confirmed that you are the daughter he has never met and has never known!"
Feng Sijin looked at Rong Sheng with affection: "Girl, I'm not joking with you! I, Feng Sijin, am indeed your father! Your biological father! No doubt about it!"
"Is that so?" Rong Sheng replied coldly, "You say you're my father, but I don't believe you! Unless, let me investigate!"
"How do I check?" Feng Sijin asked readily.
Rong Sheng: "Give me your blood or hair!" She believes in the results of a DNA paternity test.
Feng Sijin: "When do you need it?"
"Now!"
Feng Sijin immediately plucked a few strands of hair from her head and handed them to Rong Sheng.
Rong Sheng wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in the system hospital, planning to do a paternity test later.
Seeing Feng Sijin's easy approval, Gu Beiyi knew that Rong Sheng wouldn't be bullied by anyone in the capital, and might even have a smoother path in life! With the Feng family's protection, Rong Sheng would definitely be very happy, but the Rong family wouldn't be so. After all, they genuinely cherished and loved Rong Sheng, without a trace of pretense!
Thinking of the lively scene after Feng Sijin met Rong Dong'an's family, a wicked smile curled up slightly. Then he said to Rong Sheng, "Sheng Sheng, I'm really sorry, I already knew about this news a long time ago, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't tell you!"
Rong Sheng glared at Gu Beiyi: "I'll settle the score with you later!"
"Alright!" Gu Beiyi laughed, "Then I shall respectfully comply! I will be waiting for your arrival in my bed."
Faced with Feng Sijin's intense gaze, Rong Sheng hesitated for a moment: "You say you are my father, and even Gu Beiyi says so, but I will not acknowledge you until the test results are in!"
"The test results?" Feng Sijin asked, puzzled.
Rong Sheng: "I am a doctor, and I have a more accurate method than a blood test to determine whether you are my biological father!"
"I see! What if it's confirmed?" Feng Sijin asked expectantly.
Rong Sheng frowned: "If I'm sure you are my biological father, I'll consider acknowledging you! But it's very likely I won't, because I already have loving parents and four brothers who dote on me. I'm very happy with my current family! As for you, you're a stranger to me!"
Feng Sijin was somewhat disappointed: "Then give your father a chance!"
"We'll see when the time comes!" Rong Sheng had no idea that this opportunity would come soon, but she didn't realize what would happen next because the system hadn't told her.
Seeing that Rong Sheng had wrapped her hair up, Feng Sijin smiled and said, "Little girl, are you hungry? I've had some special delicacies from the capital made for you. Try them first and see if you like them."
"Thank you!" Although he had received the system's approval, Rong Sheng was not very enthusiastic towards Feng Sijin, only maintaining a polite distance.
Seeing that Feng Sijin wasn't angry despite suffering a loss at Rong Sheng's hands, Gu Beiyi felt somewhat relieved. Rong Sheng was indeed Feng Sijin's daughter. In his previous life, Feng Sijin only learned that Rong Sheng was his daughter much later. Moreover, in his previous life, Feng Sijin always stayed at home and never went out, ignoring the mundane affairs of the Feng family. It wasn't until his good mother forced him to step down that Feng Sijin came out, and by then, Rong Sheng was already gone!
After confirming that Rong Sheng was his daughter, Feng Sijin used the full power of the Feng family to help him take down his mother's influence. Otherwise, it would have taken some time to take down his mother's clan immediately.
