"My dad... what happened to my dad?" Shangguan Manning's pupils suddenly dilated, her face filled with disbelief.
"It's better for Shangguan Hong to tell us what good deeds he's done."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Manning gradually loosened her grip on the door frame, and Gu Qingxian took the opportunity to close the door directly.
Upon hearing the door slam shut, Shangguan Manning, who was standing outside, burst into tears without warning.
Why would this man she had loved for over a decade, a man she loved to the core, hate her so much? What did her father do to make him hate her so much?
What exactly happened?
Wiping away her tears, she rushed back without looking back, running countless red lights until she finally arrived at the Shangguan family mansion.
The servants greeted Shangguan Manning as she returned. Madam Shangguan, seeing her daughter's red eyes, immediately felt a pang of heartache. "Manman, who bullied you?"
"Where is Dad?" Shangguan Manning asked directly, ignoring Madam Shangguan's concern.
"In the study, Manman, tell Mommy..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shangguan Manning rushed upstairs as if she were in a hurry to be reborn.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and after seeing that it was Shangguan Manning who came in, Shangguan Hong closed his notebook and said, "Manman, why didn't you knock before coming in?"
"dad."
"What's wrong?"
"Was Qingxian's car accident related to you?"
Shangguan Manning's eyes were red and swollen as she stared straight at Shangguan Hong, her gaze seemingly saying, "Don't admit it, don't admit it."
Shangguan Hong stood up, walked to Shangguan Manning's side, and said calmly, "Yes."
Her heart sank as if into an abyss of hell. Shangguan Manning staggered and almost fell. Sure enough, it was her father who did it.
"Why did you do this? You know perfectly well that Qingxian is my life, my very life. If it weren't for the car accident, we would already be husband and wife."
Unable to contain her anger, she roared, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, it was you who ruined my happiness! It was you!"
Her father, whom she had always been proud of, had now committed murder and arson, and the victim was her fiancé, the man she had loved for over a decade...
Looking at the distraught Shangguan Manning, Shangguan Hong said, "Manman, listen to Daddy..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen..." Shangguan Manning covered her ears and shook her head as if she had gone mad. She could not accept that her proud father was the one who wanted to kill her fiancé.
“Manman…”
"I won't listen..."
"Shangguan Manning!" Shangguan Hong's voice suddenly rose, his hands gripping Shangguan Manning's shoulders, trying to calm her down. "If Dad didn't do that, our Shangguan family would be swallowed up by that brat Gu Qingxian. If he truly wanted to marry you, he could have given you what he wanted from Dad. But he doesn't love you at all. Dad doesn't want to see you suffer, so Dad would rather be a murderer than see you unhappy!"
After listening to Shangguan Hong's words, Shangguan Manning calmed down considerably, seemingly considering the veracity of his statement.
Shangguan Hong is, after all, her father. Logically and emotionally, she should unconditionally believe him. At the same time, she's deceiving herself, thinking it's all Lin Xi's fault. If he hadn't appeared, Gu Qingxian would still have married her...
"Lin Xi!!!" Shangguan Manning roared, her eyes bloodshot, her hatred spreading like wildfire.
Kill him!
Kill him!
This thought filled Shangguan Manning's mind: as long as she killed 'Lin Xi,' Gu Qingxian would return to her side.
She rushed out of the Shangguan family mansion like the wind; she was going to find 'Lin Xi' and kill him.
If she kills him, she will marry Gu Qingxian, have children, and live a happy life.
Kill him, and Gu Qingxian will forgive everything her father did...
