Chapter 153 You are the daughter of the Xie family (Revised)
Su Niannian's brain went blank.
In an instant, everything went blank.
After a long while, she finally processed Gu Yuheng's words, and her stiff body slowly began to react.
Her eyelashes trembled frequently as she reached out and tugged at Gu Yuheng's sleeve: "Aheng, you're saying I'm not a daughter of the Su family?"
She carefully confirmed it again, her voice filled with complex emotions.
A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes—a longing for family and a sense of letting go of his past self.
But then fear welled up inside her.
I'm so afraid it's just a beautiful misunderstanding.
It will be like a bubble, only lasting for a short time.
He vanished without a trace before her eyes.
Gu Yuheng grasped Niannian's hand in return; her little hands were a bit cold.
He tenderly wrapped it in his palm.
She squeezed it slightly, with a reassuring tone.
“Niannian, yes, you are not Su Guowei and Li Xiumei’s biological daughter. You were found by your grandmother from the river when you were three years old.”
"I'm sorry, Niannian, I've known about this for a while, but I've kept it from you because of some things."
Su Niannian's eyes were like a boulder thrown into her hand, stirring up ripples.
In a trembling voice, she suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Aren't my biological parents Aunt Lin Wan and Uncle Xie...?"
She clenched her fingers tightly as she asked the question, though she already had her suspicions.
I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Aunt Lin Wan from the very first glance.
She is a slow-to-warm-up person and always feels reserved and uncomfortable when interacting with strangers.
But whenever I'm with Aunt Lin Wan, that uncomfortable feeling of distance quietly disappears, leaving only a sense of comfort, relaxation, and closeness.
Gu Yuheng had already made up his mind.
With Xie Shen coming to light, things have become clear.
He no longer wanted to hide the truth about Su Niannian's background from her.
He nodded solemnly: "Yes, your teacher and his wife are your parents. They have been looking for you for sixteen years and have never given up their determination to find you. Over the years, I have personally witnessed them travel to every corner of the country and try every possible method. Their desire to find you has never changed."
Tears welled up in Su Niannian's eyes: "When we first met, the little girl you were looking for when you were talking to Dr. Xie, was that me?"
Even after a long time, she still remembered that conversation.
In their quest to find their blood type, they searched through all the hospital's blood type records.
I just wanted to find some clue about my daughter.
Gu Yuheng raised his hand and wiped away the glistening tears hanging at the corners of Su Niannian's eyes with his clean fingertips.
He said softly, "Well, it turns out that Yaoyao was already by my side all along, but I didn't realize it. I'm so ashamed. But now it's all right. The truth has finally come out. Yaoyao can reunite with her parents. She has parents who truly love and care for her. She has a warm home. She is no longer the pitiful little girl who was helpless and alone before."
For some reason, Su Niannian's tears kept falling uncontrollably.
In an instant, her little face was covered in tears, which streamed down and soaked her collar.
"Niannian, don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you like this." Gu Yuheng, who could discuss multi-billion dollar projects in the business world without batting an eye, suddenly became at a loss when he saw Su Niannian's face covered in tears.
He frantically wiped away Su Niannian's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed.
So, somewhat dazed, he leaned forward and kissed away the little girl's tears with his lips.
Su Niannian was amused by his clumsy appearance and chuckled.
"I'm fine, I'm just so happy I can't contain myself, and my tears are a little uncontrollable..."
Gu Yuheng's tense heart finally relaxed when he heard her laugh.
He didn't care at all about the slight lapse in his image just now.
He stepped back, cupped the little girl's cheeks in his hands, and gazed at her.
"Niannian, finding your mom and dad is a happy thing, please don't cry anymore, okay?"
His gentle expression was reflected in Su Niannian's eyes.
She nodded slightly: "Mm."
Gu Yuheng's lips curved slightly, and his slender fingers tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"Do you want to see your mom and dad right away?"
Su Niannian wanted to nod without hesitation, but she froze halfway through the action.
Her eyes held a complex expression.
Gu Yuheng noticed her unusual behavior: "Niannian, didn't you previously hope that your teacher and his wife would be your parents? Why are you hesitating now? Don't you want to see your parents?"
Su Niannian shook her head: "No, I really want to see them, but after I actually found out they are my parents, I felt a little apprehensive about returning home. I don't know if you can understand this feeling of mine."
The feeling was subtle, like a traveler who had been away from home for a long time finally ending her long journey.
She had been looking forward to reuniting with her family, but when she finally arrived home, a sense of unease welled up inside her.
It was a feeling of both anticipation and trepidation.
Gu Yuheng chuckled softly: "What are you thinking about, little one? Why are you suddenly so conflicted? You've met your teacher and his wife countless times before, and you know their personalities. Don't feel pressured. You're their daughter; they love you too much to ask. Niannian, don't put pressure on yourself."
Su Niannian calmed herself down and asked, "Aheng, the person in the yard said he took me away. I don't remember anything from my childhood because I was hypnotized and my memories were erased. What's going on? And who is that person?"
Gu Yuheng pondered for a moment and said, "That person is called Shen Qingbei, Shen Wanxi's second brother. He was deceived and manipulated by Xie Shen, mistakenly believing that your father was his father. In fact, his father is Xie Shen. The scenes you dreamed about before were actually real scenes that happened when you were a child. You overheard Xie Shen's secret, and fearing that things would be exposed, he had someone hypnotize you and had Shen Qingbei take you to a ship. The ship capsized as soon as it set sail..."
He omitted the part where Shen Qingbei disguised himself as a zookeeper to enter the villa and try to kill her, so that the young girl wouldn't be scared later.
Su Niannian stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "The sinking of the ship was not an accident, but was deliberately tampered with by Xie Shen. His purpose was to make Shen Qingbei and me sink completely into the sea so that no one would know his secret, right?"
Gu Yuheng nodded almost imperceptibly: "Yes."
A storm raged within Su Niannian's heart.
She remembered Xie Shen; she had met him once before at the villa in Thailand.
Xie Shen's gaze made her feel very uncomfortable at the time.
It turned out he had recognized him all along.
He secretly and silently pondered whether he had recognized him.
With a thud.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
