Gu Tinglin came back, his calm and resolute features showed no emotion.
The more he acted like this, the more uneasy Song Yaling felt, but she still stood up and forced a smile to greet him, "Old Gu is back."
Gu Tinglin glanced at the house and said indifferently, "Yeah."
Song Yaling stepped forward and took the briefcase in his hand, "You rarely come back, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen and cook for you."
Gu Tinglin did not answer, but looked at Chen Yanfei, whose face was injured, "Yanfei, please step aside, I have something to say to your mother." Chen Yanfei, whose
face was painful and swollen, was still thinking about how to deal with it, but when she saw Gu Tinglin's eyes, she couldn't even utter a word.
An invisible aura made her powerless to resist. Fear kept surging from her bones, making her tremble with fear.
She got up and went back to her room, closing the door nervously.
Gu Tinglin sat down and said to Song Yaling, "Sit down."
Song Yaling snorted and pretended to be calm, "What's wrong with you? You still have a stern face after work."
Gu Tinglin didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly.
Looking at her, it seemed that he was looking at another person through her.
A woman who was once lively and passionate, dared to love and hate, ignored worldly pressure, and said that she would marry him even if the sky fell.
Thirty years have changed her face beyond recognition.
This is not the first time that Song Yaling has faced this kind of look. She
really hates his scrutiny, as if she is an unforgivable villain.
But what can she do? She can only try her best to save the relationship. In the past, when they were in love and had conflicts, she was the one who took the initiative to coax him. But he was really easy to coax back then. She just had to pull his sleeve with red eyes.
But now he is like a stone in the toilet - smelly and hard!
Gu Tinglin spoke slowly, "Why do you treat her like this?"
Even though she was mentally prepared, Song Yaling was still startled, "Who?"
But she reacted quickly, "Are you talking about what happened in the mall today? There is a misunderstanding here. The other party had friction with Yanfei before and has always been resentful..."
Gu Tinglin interrupted her, "Jiang Ning is obviously your biological daughter, why do you treat her like this?"
Song Yaling's face froze, "Old Gu, what are you talking about? I only have Yanfei as a daughter, the child I gave birth to in the Chen family, was unfortunately killed when thugs rushed into the house during the Eternal Night.
I explained it to you, but you may have forgotten it because you were busy."
Gu Tinglin opened his briefcase and threw two documents in front of her.
Song Yaling pretended to be calm and picked it up, but when she saw the contents clearly, her blood rushed back instantly. They were actually two paternity identification reports.
One was made during Yongye, and the date was the second day when she brought Yanfei into the base.
The other one was made not long ago, on the night when Jiang Ning came, and a strand of hair was taken.
Jiang Ning and Gu Tinglin are 99.999% father and daughter, and Chen Yanfei has no blood relationship with him.
Song Yaling's brain was buzzing. The military base can even build submarines, so how could it be impossible to conduct DNA testing?
It's just that it hasn't been made public.
Song Yaling felt that she was a joke as her hands shook uncontrollably. She looked at him straight, "Since you knew I was lying to you, why didn't you expose it for so many years?"
Why didn't you expose it? Gu Tinglin did not fail to consider it, but he finally chose to accept it.
He had to carry out a secret mission that took more than a year, and he finally came back after a life-threatening experience. He hurried back to Fengcheng to see her before his injuries were healed, wanting to discuss getting a marriage certificate.
She was indeed getting married, but the groom was not him.
A lot of things happened in the Song family this year, but his job was too special, and he could not accompany her through the ups and downs.
He felt guilty and wanted to make amends.
But she cried and said that the Song family went bankrupt and he was not there; she was pregnant and he was not there; she had a miscarriage and he was still not there; now she was going to marry another man, and she hoped he would not be there either.
Gu Tinglin then learned that she had been pregnant with his child but lost it.
The news was too sudden, and he could not accept it for a while.
But Song Yaling handed over the ultrasound report and the abortion surgery report.
Gu Tinglin didn't want to believe it, so he went to the hospital to check. He ran into Song Yaling's fiancé accompanying her for a prenatal checkup. The two were sweet and loving, and they were well matched.
She was right in her choice, and he couldn't give her the happiness she wanted.
So he chose to fulfill her wish and bless her.
But he didn't expect that more than 20 years later, Song Yaling would suddenly call him and tell him that she was forced to marry in order to save the family business, and that the child was not aborted, but was secretly born. After marriage,
she confessed to the Chen family, and the Chen family accepted and raised the child.
Gu Tinglin never got married, not because he hadn't met the right person, but because his career meant that he didn't have much energy to take care of his family, so he decided not to delay other people's happiness.
But every time he saw the lively and naughty child, he would think of his own flesh and blood who had no chance to come into this world.
If he hadn't been on a mission at the time, he might have married Song Yaling, and the child would have been born safely.
He had the chance to be a father.
In the final analysis, he owed Song Yaling and let her down.
Now that he has the chance, he can make up for it and take care
of her appropriately. In fact, Gu Tinglin couldn't tell whether he was making up for it or making himself feel better.
He always thought of his unborn child, and even met her in his dreams countless times. She cried and called for daddy...
The doctor said that this was a mental shackle and he shouldn't put too much pressure on himself.
But this knot in his heart was not cured by medication or relaxation therapy.
So when Song Yaling came and said that his child was not dead, his mind told him not to believe it, but he thought about the dream that had haunted him for more than 20 years, what if it was true?
He was hopeful, but she really lied, and the child had no blood relationship with him.
Time has changed everything, and Song Yaling is no longer the same as she was before.
People have come and gone, and Gu Tinglin has long let go of the ignorant and impulsive love in his youth. He did not expose Song Yaling's deception, just to make up for the debt of the year, but he still has some regrets every time he thinks of the child.
However, he never thought that one day he would meet Jiang Ning, whose facial features resembled those of the young Song Yaling, and they were both from Fengcheng.
There are indeed people who look alike in the world, but there are not many who are so alike that it makes people suspicious.
Therefore, he arranged a special sparring assessment and got Jiang Ning's hair as soon as possible.
"If you don't want a child, why did you give birth to it?" More than 30 years of military training have made Gu Tinglin a calm and introverted person. He asked calmly, "Why would you rather throw the child into an orphanage than let me raise it?"
