He Zongyan, such a ruthless and cold-blooded man, felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and was in great pain at this moment. He finally understood why Xiaobai's secret bloodline had awakened.
"I will be twice as kind to you and Xiaobai in the future. If Xiaobai wants my life, I can give it to him."
Guan Wanwan sneered, "No need. We, mother and daughter, can live a good life together. Why should I take your life? Who are you? Can't I just erase the past by taking your life?"
"cannot."
"I'm glad you know." Guan Wanwan had truly come out of it. Once a person stops waiting and self-defeating, and moves forward, everything becomes clear. She found herself surprisingly calm at this moment.
I didn't feel as ecstatic or excited as I had imagined.
This must be the greatest sorrow!
He Zongyan's hands trembled slightly, and he said bitterly: "Okay, do you remember Guan Lingling?"
Guan Wanwan was stunned. "Guan Zhenrong's sister?" When her father adopted Guan Zhenrong, she vaguely remembered an inconspicuous girl hiding in a corner when the elders from both sides met, but she didn't have a deep impression. Later, she didn't pay much attention to it. She only knew that when Guan Zhenrong was adopted, the distant elders shamelessly asked her father to adopt Guan Zhenrong and his sister together, but her father sternly refused.
"What happened to her?"
"She brought my third child's daughter and pretended to be you, and she has been doing this for so many years."
Guan Wanwan was shocked. "How could it be? Your He family didn't see through it? How is it possible?"
"It was the second brother's negligence, and the third brother's collusion. Guan Lingling was afraid of being discovered, so she even lived in a temple on the mountain under the name of becoming a nun. It can be said that she put a lot of effort into it..." He Zongyan recounted the whole thing in detail.
After hearing the last part, Guan Wanwan's tense expression relaxed a lot, and she even smiled with relief unconsciously. Although she had become indifferent to him these days, he was still the man she had loved and thought about for decades. When she learned that He Zongyan had already married another woman and had a child, and that her child was just an illegitimate daughter who was not allowed to be seen in public, she was filled with hatred.
What I hate even more is myself. I hate myself for being blind, for being blind and falling in love with the wrong man, and for being ridiculous and persisting for so many years.
Now that I know the truth, that trace of hatred has dissipated.
All that is left is relief.
"Wanwan?" He Zongyan called out cautiously.
"What else?" Guan Wanwan smiled sadly, "Guan Zhenrong did something too, right?"
He Zongyan nodded, the heartache in his eyes almost overflowing. Everything was his fault. He had failed to protect his beloved woman and precious daughter. This gave those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage.
"Of course, deceiving the second brother requires Guan Zhenrong. Guan Lingling pretended to be you, so the second brother must investigate and verify it with him." As soon as He Zongyan came back and learned that Guan Jinqing had passed away, he had already started investigating the inside story. He had been away for so many years, and although he had his brother's reports, he was more accustomed to finding out the details himself.
This was a habit he'd developed in his youth, but he'd never expected to encounter his biological daughter before he could even read the results of his investigation. Naturally, he couldn't hide anything from him, as everything was laid out in his study.
"Your uncle's death has nothing to do with you. It was actually Guan Zhenrong who put the blame on you." His intention was to seize the government's finances. What he did later was to snatch away Guan Jinqing's network of contacts when he was alive.
If Wanwan is not driven away for her slander, Guan Jinqing's old friends and students will not pay any attention to Guan Zhenrong.
