Fu Quan had no interest in paying attention to Fu Yao anymore and went to Wu Mu's room alone, looking at the pale and weak woman on the bed.
He nervously patted his pockets before remembering that he had quit smoking a long time ago.
The joy of regaining what was lost was intertwined with a feeling of helplessness and anxiety.
I remember seeing Song Xingyao on the terrace that night at the birthday banquet. She looked so much like her. She really was my daughter.
It turns out that the daughter I've been searching for all this time has always been right beside me...
But he couldn't explain where that anxiety and unease in his heart came from.
Fu Quan thought he should have asked his assistant to investigate whether his daughter had a good past, but he didn't have the courage.
After a long silence, he finally made a decision and left the room.
Fu Yao stayed at the Fu family's house for two days, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, because she neither saw Wu Mu's crazy behavior nor Fu Quan's breakdown.
The online discussion will soon fade away, and people's topics of conversation will gradually change. If no one pays attention to this matter, then all her plans will be in vain.
Since returning from the Fu family, Song Xingyao hasn't been very talkative. Qiao Yiming came once, but Fu Siming sent him away.
He has been staying by Song Xingyao's side for the past two days, worried that she might be upset by this incident.
But she remained as usual, except that she didn't like to talk and would occasionally lean on Fu Siming, basking in the sun in the garden for an afternoon, lost in thought.
Or perhaps it's waiting for something?
Fu Siming pulled her into his arms, and heard the woman in his arms suddenly speak, "I..."
As soon as I finished speaking, it felt like my throat was choked.
It turns out she wasn't without excitement or longing; she had just been waiting for too long.
Fu Siming didn't speak, but gently stroked her palm with his hand.
“I thought… I didn’t care. That day, Yiming asked me, ‘Aren’t you looking forward to meeting your biological parents?’ I told her that I wasn’t that looking forward to it, but…”
She uttered each word carefully, her voice trembling with tears, "But I have parents, right in front of me, living with them in Jiangcheng for so long?"
After saying this, tears finally fell silently. She didn't cry out, but the uncontrollable flow of tears prevented her from saying another word.
Fu Siming felt sorry for her and let her cry, then let his own clothes get soaked.
"You have me now, a home, parents, and in the future, our child, Yao Yao."
He sighed softly and then fell silent until all her emotions—anticipation, bitterness, and joy—were intertwined and poured out.
As the hype was about to die down, Fu Yao realized that she couldn't achieve the desired results, and the hostess kept taking money from her.
Looking at her greedy smile, Fu Yao felt that this must be Song Xingyao's mother, and the hatred and desire to get rid of her came over her.
Two days later, the news gained further traction.
The topic of the suspected suicide of Song Xingyao's biological mother has brought this matter to another climax.
Some speculate that she committed suicide to escape her debts because she couldn't reach an agreement with Song Xingyao and felt a desire to marry into a wealthy family.
Therefore, some people, standing on the moral high ground, believe that Song Xingyao was unwilling to support her birth mother, thus driving her to a dead end.
Some people have conspiracy theories, believing that Song Xingyao, having gotten involved with a family like the Fu family, certainly wouldn't want a mother like that.
The issue of suicide is still under discussion; it's not even certain whether it was suicide at all.
Seeing the "fire" growing stronger, Fu Yao was enjoying Song Xingyao's notorious reputation.
But then he received news that his father was going to hold a press conference.
Overjoyed, she thought Wu Mu's condition had worsened and Fu Quan had finally decided to go and keep that crazy woman company, so he decided to pass everything on to her.
She dressed up specially for the press conference.
Backstage.
Fu Quan's eyes were filled with sorrow.
The night he learned of this news, he had someone investigate Song Xingyao's upbringing.
Upon seeing the Tianxin Orphanage, he could no longer hold back his emotions. It turned out that he had once missed his daughter, and that he should have found her 20 years ago.
He was blind and didn't recognize him.
Each page of the paper denounced the evil deeds of Song Ping and his adoptive parents.
Cut off a high school student's living expenses, forcing her to work in the store without rest, and even asking a student who is still in school for money.
In fact, there was no evidence of the more private abuse, but just thinking about how Song Xingyao had been treated made his heart ache.
He missed his own child; he let her suffer in a den of wolves.
As the last piece of paper fell to the ground, he decided to give her everything he had, to his biological daughter, Song Xingyao.
That's why we have this press conference today.
The reporters who received the information did not know the topic, and the notification was too last-minute, so not many people came.
The Fu family was already a deeply rooted family in Jiangcheng. Although not as dazzling as the emerging Tiansheng, it still had a significant influence.
However, since Wu Mu fell ill and Fu Quan became known for his honest and kind nature, the Fu family has lost some of its prominence.
Reporters in the audience were discussing today's gossip, thinking that if a big news story could emerge to overshadow the explosive news about Mrs. Fu's biological mother, then the trip wouldn't have been in vain.
Fu Yao enjoyed the whispers and pointing at Song Xingyao; they sounded pleasant to her.
She is happy as long as someone is willing to belittle her, and she is pleased as long as she knows that they are not doing as well as she is.
She thought, "Why should a bastard dare to take my man and not let him go?"
Fu Yao casually played with her phone, waiting for the show to start.
Finally, Fu Quan came out from backstage, and all the reporters pointed their long lenses at him, and then the flashes started flashing incessantly, which was a bit dazzling.
Apart from the sound of camera shutters, the room was completely silent.
The man on stage took a deep breath, and then his gentle voice rang out.
"Thank you to all the journalists who attended this impromptu press conference. This meeting was convened by me personally and has nothing to do with the Fu family."
He paused for a moment, and some hushed discussions from the audience reached his ears.
"As everyone knows, my wife and I lost a child more than 20 years ago, which caused quite a stir at the time... We searched very hard, but without any leads..."
Some reporters had already sensed that a big news story was approaching, so they turned on the broadcast.
“But recently I found my child. She’s right here beside me. We’ve lived in the same city for so long, but I never knew until…”
The audience was anxiously waiting for him to release some major news.
Fu Yao was getting restless. The joy she felt had been completely washed away by fear and unease from the moment she heard his second sentence.
"As you've all seen, the paternity test results that have been circulating online recently are from my wife and daughter."
"Song Xingyao is the biological daughter that my wife and I have been searching for for over 20 years!"
