“Go look for him. Maybe you can find your real father someday. But he hasn’t shown up for so many years. Even with something as serious as your mother setting the fire, he didn’t make a sound. Don’t get your hopes up too high.” Ni Qianshan told Ni Sitian everything he knew, and he had nothing more to say.
Ni Sitian walked out of the police station with a pale face. The winter wind was so cold that it seemed to chill her to the bone, and she felt frozen from head to toe.
Having lived for over twenty years, she had been so confused, living as an illegitimate child in front of the man she called "Dad." She had even foolishly tried to please him, always believing that even tigers don't eat their cubs. Now it seems how stupid she was.
No matter how much you try to please a bastard, he will probably see it as a stain and a sin.
No wonder he treated her even worse than he treated Ni Ziqi. Ni Ziqi was He Cuiyun's daughter with her ex-husband, her background was clear and straightforward, unlike her, who was given to him in an unclear and ambiguous way.
Ni Sitian felt a little dizzy and leaned against a tree trunk by the roadside.
When Li Yinan's car passed by, he saw Ni Sitian leaning against a tree and immediately had someone stop the car.
"Brother Yinan, why did you park here?" The girl who had been holding Li Yinan's arm pouted in dissatisfaction.
The girl looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, pretty and youthful, and even her pouting lips when she spoke made her seem adorable.
Li Yinan glanced at the girl beside him, pulled his arm away from her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Wait in the car for a moment, I'll be right back."
"Where to..." Before the girl could finish speaking, Li Yinan had already opened the car door and gotten out, quickly walking to Ni Sitian's side. The girl frowned as she looked at him.
"Miss Ni, are you alright?" Li Yinan helped Ni Sitian, who seemed about to faint, and said, "You look terrible. Shall I take you to the hospital?"
After feeling dizzy for a while, Ni Sitian's mind gradually cleared up. She looked up at Li Yinan and paused for a moment.
It turned out to be the mysterious landlord she met yesterday. She hadn't forgotten the little gift he gave her. He was acting strangely, and she couldn't tell whether he was a friend or foe. It was best to keep her away from him for now.
"I'm fine, thank you." Ni Sitian said politely but distantly, pulling her arm back and preparing to leave.
“Miss Ni, I mean no harm. You’re heavily pregnant now, and it wouldn’t be good if something happened to you on the street.” Li Yinan grabbed Ni Sitian’s wrist to stop her from leaving, but he only held it for a moment before letting go, without going too far.
Just as Ni Sitian was about to shake her head and politely decline, a girl rushed up to her without her noticing, and very familiarly took her arm, saying with a coquettish smile, "Sister, please don't refuse anymore. Brother Yi Nan is rarely so kind. Let us take you to the hospital."
Without a word, the girl grabbed her arm and led her into the car. Ni Sitian was dizzy and pregnant, afraid of falling, so she didn't dare to resist with any strength and was forced into the car.
Li Yinan sat in the passenger seat and instructed the driver to drive to the Women and Children's Hospital.
"Sister, have some hot water." The girl poured water from the thermos and handed it to Ni Sitian.
Seeing her genuine smile, her beautiful appearance, and her bright, lively black eyes, Ni Sitian realized she was a girl who easily won people's hearts. She reached out and took the water glass from her hand, saying softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The girl smiled, turned to look at Li Yinan, and winked smugly.
