"Mom, Grandpa, what do you mean by this? What exactly do you mean?"
Du Xiaoman trembled, staring incredulously at Du Wensheng and Liu Yunli.
"Mom, get up! Get up! Why are you pleading for a beast? Get up now!"
Du Xiaoman ran over to help Liu Liyun up, but Liu Liyun's knees seemed rooted to the spot, and she couldn't stand up no matter what she did.
Du Xiaoman knelt down shakily, grasped her mother's shoulders, and said with red eyes, "Mom, what exactly happened? Tell me, tell me!!"
Even if she's stupid or dumb, she's figured things out by now.
But how can a mother bring herself to say something like this?
Liu Yunli looked at her daughter with glistening eyes.
This girl has been pampered since childhood and has never experienced any hardship. She is just an immature young lady. How can she bear this cruel reality!
"Liu Yunli, things have come to this point, do you think you can still keep it a secret?"
At this moment, Du Tao, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up.
Liu Yunli trembled, turned her head to look at her, clenched her fists tightly, and said with a complicated expression, "So, you knew all along, didn't you?"
Du Tao chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Do you think I'm an idiot? So easily fooled?"
"Then why didn't you say it sooner? Why didn't you say it sooner! Why!!" Liu Yunli roared angrily, both out of embarrassment and genuine incomprehension.
Du Tao shook his head with a smile, a look of disdain in his eyes. "If I had exposed you earlier, would you still be working so hard to compete with Xiaoyue for power? If you want a donkey to pull a millstone, shouldn't you dangle a carrot in front of it? Hahahaha!"
Du Tao laughed triumphantly, a stark contrast to his usual scholarly demeanor.
Liu Yunli swayed slightly, her hands gripping the ground tightly, her fingertips bleeding from the wear and tear.
Throughout her life, she fought for power and profit, relying entirely on her acting skills.
In the end, he was just a pawn on the chessboard, manipulated by others.
Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing in the end!
How ridiculous, how pathetic!
"Dad, what do you mean? Please don't scare me..." Du Xiaoman asked, her heart trembling and her voice trembling with tears.
Du Tao shook his head and chuckled, "Don't call me Dad, I'm not your dad! Hahaha! I have a son!"
Du Tao said mockingly, "I have several wives outside, and they've given me a bunch of sons. Each one can carry on my family line. And you, hehe..."
As Du Tao spoke, he pointed at Xu Huai Ren and said, "He is your biological father. Back then, your mother was in charge of the Green Gang's logistics, and he was just a warehouse clerk. They had you in a dirty warehouse. Now you understand? Hahahaha!"
Buzz!
Du Xiaoman felt her mind go blank for a moment, her face filled with disbelief.
After a long while, she gradually came to her senses, muttering, "No, this isn't real. How could I be Uncle Huai's daughter? No, this is impossible. How could I have such a lowly birth? No, I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
It's a disaster!
How could a proud and delicate young lady, who was already emotionally fragile, accept such a cruel truth?
It's like a princess born in a palace who one day suddenly learns that she was actually born to a pair of beggars.
The sky has fallen!
The sudden shift from heaven to hell is something no one could accept.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Xu Huai-ren, you bastard, I'll kill you, I'll kill you—"
Du Xiaoman suddenly ran over, snatched the dagger from her fifth uncle's hand, and stabbed it fiercely into Xu Huai Ren's chest.
Pfft!
The sharp dagger disappeared instantly.
Liu Yunli's eyes widened in shock, pain, and regret...
This brief moment was destined to be the most painful moment of her life.
She watched helplessly as her own daughter killed her own father!
"Huai Ren—"
She tried desperately to crawl over, but her fifth uncle stepped on her.
Fifth Uncle's expression was cold, even somewhat cruel.
The blisters on my feet are all from walking.
If they hadn't attacked the young lady, this wouldn't have happened.
Du Wensheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes tightly closed, his old body trembling.
Humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings, especially since he is a person who values relationships and loyalty.
Although Du Xiaoman is not his biological grandchild, she has been his beloved grandchild for many years. His patience in enduring this matter until today is perhaps out of consideration for the bond between grandfather and grandchild.
The child is innocent, and he doesn't want to ruin the child's future!
But while he's trying so hard to protect other people's children, who will protect his own?
His granddaughter, Xiaoyue...
"master……"
Xu Huai-ren breathed weakly, his gaze softening as he looked at his daughter. "It's all my fault. I know you've always been kind, and our second daughter has been cherished by you for so many years. I hope you can spare her life. I beg you..."
Bright red blood flowed from the corner of Xu Huai-ren's mouth.
These words did not earn Du Xiaoman's understanding; instead, they intensified her hatred and humiliation.
She yanked the dagger out and stabbed him again, shouting, "I don't need your pretense! I don't need it! You're not my father! You're not my father!!!"
As she spoke, she was about to draw her knife and stab again!
"Second Miss!!"
Xu Huai-ren gripped the knife in Du Xiao-man's hand tightly, letting the sharp blade dig into her flesh, his eyes red as he said, "Second Miss, I know you hate me, but you're an adult now! You need to be rational! Quickly, go and beg your grandfather, go now!!"
