Chapter 90: Yuzhi and I are innocent

These two sentences shocked everyone, including Chu Sangning.

Her eyes widened. "Dad, what did you say?"

Chu Yuanlin called Zhou Yongzhuo and saw his surprised expression, and suddenly laughed, "Don't believe it?"

Zhou Yongzhuo turned around again, his expression gloomy, staring at Chu Yuanlin without blinking, "Letter."

The first time he saw Chu Sangning, he felt an inexplicable natural attraction in his heart, and felt very close to her. He originally thought it was because she was Xiaozhi's daughter, but he didn't expect...

The two men quickly accepted the reality, but Chu Sangning couldn't accept it. How could it be so sudden that his biological father was no longer his biological father and his mother's ex-husband became his father?

It's just too chaotic, it's impossible.

"Dad, what's going on?" Chu Sangning was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She grabbed Chu Yuanlin's sleeve and insisted on hearing his explanation.

"Ningning, take out the jade pendant around your neck." Chu Yuanlin didn't say much. He asked his daughter to take out the jade pendant and put it in front of Zhou Yongzhuo. He smiled and said, "Does it look familiar to you?"

Zhou Yongzhuo pursed his lips and nodded, "This is what I gave to Xiaozhi when we got married."

"Yes, it's yours. Xizhi has been studying it for more than ten years."

Chu Yuanlin didn't want to hide anything anymore. He wiped his face and invited Zhou Yongzhuo to come in first. "Let's go. If you have anything to say, let's go in and talk."

Stunned, Qiao Xiangye pulled his wife He Shulan to follow behind. Looking at the two men in front, He Shulan asked anxiously, "Is there anything wrong?"

It was too sudden. Sang Ning was not a child of the Chu family, but Zhou Yongzhuo's daughter. It was really unbelievable.

What if Sang Ning can't accept it?

Qiao Xiangye patted his wife's hand comfortingly, and said in a heavy tone, "Let's take it one step at a time."

Everyone was in the room, Chu Yuanlin sat in a chair and recalled the past.

"I met Yuzhi on a road in Lu City 17 years ago. She was unconscious at the time, so I took her home. I didn't expect that she had lost her memory and didn't know anything except her own name."

"I wanted to wait until she recovered and then leave on her own, but the hospital found out she was pregnant. Yuzhi attached great importance to the baby in her belly and said she would not let me down and would find a job to support herself."

"I took her in because she was pitiful. In order to make it easier to register our child, we pretended to be married. We lived in peace after that. She slept on the bed and I slept on the floor."

At this point, Chu Yuanlin suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Yongzhuo, his face full of seriousness, "Zhou Yongzhuo, Xizhi has never let you down. In the next few decades, she has been trying hard to remember you and her family."

Zhou Yongzhuo, a grown man, sat there with a hunched back, crying non-stop. His silent sobs and trembling shoulders spoke of the pain this man was in.

Not remarrying, not having anyone else, Xiaozhi has always been looking for herself.

Chu Yuanlin sighed and continued, "After Sang Ning was born, Xizhi suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away soon after. She also asked me to give the jade pendant that she never took off to Sang Ning, saying that it was her only thing and hoped that Sang Ning could find her relatives one day."

Chu Yuanlin had never said these words to Chu Sangning. Perhaps he was thinking about that little bit of warmth. Chu Yuanlin really treated Sangning as his own daughter. The jade pendant had been hanging around her neck for more than ten years, but he had never mentioned these words.

Today... my fate is so unfortunate, but after going around in circles I still meet him. Perhaps it is the bondage of fate. After Chu Yuanlin said out loud the words that had been hidden in his heart for more than ten years, he no longer felt any pressure.

"Sang Ning is your and Xizhi's daughter. I hope you can treat her well."

Chu Sangning was in tears when she heard this. She grabbed her father's hand and kept shaking her head, "No, no, you are my father."

From her memory, Chu Yuanlin was the one who acted as both a father and a mother to her. He loved her very much, but now he asked her to find her biological father, but Chu Sangning couldn't do it.

"Sang Ning, be good and don't be willful." Chu Yuanlin repeated those two sentences over and over again in a hoarse voice, "Be obedient, he is your biological father."

"Dad..." Chu Sangning's eyes were blurred with tears and her vision was no longer clear, but she still held Chu Yuanlin's arm tightly, stubbornly refusing to say another word.

No one spoke in the room, but faint crying sounds could be heard. Jiang Xingyan, who was sitting next to her, gently wiped the little girl's tears.

Whispered to comfort: "Don't cry, your eyes are going to be swollen from crying."

After everyone calmed down, Zhou Yongzhuo suddenly stood up and bowed to Chu Yuanlin with a respectful attitude, "Thank you for taking care of Xiaozhi and Sang Ning over the years."

His eyes were fixed on Chu Sangning's hand, and when he realized that she refused to look at him, Zhou Yongzhuo smiled bitterly, "As for the matter of recognizing the relationship, I don't agree."

"Why?" Chu Yuanlin was puzzled. Sang Ning was his and Xizhi's daughter, why didn't she recognize her? Could it be that...

"To Xiaozhi, I was an incompetent husband. To Sangning, I was an irresponsible father. I never took care of her for a single day, nor did I show up when she needed me the most. I also don't have the face to let Sangning recognize me."

Zhou Yongzhuo cautiously opened his mouth to test the water, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he said bitterly and with difficulty: "Sang Ning, I won't force you. If you want to admit it, then admit it. It doesn't matter if you don't."

The last few words were spoken so lightly that if Chu Sangning had not had good hearing, he might not have heard them.

He stared at Chu Sangning without blinking. Did he really not care? This sentence could deceive other people but not himself.

Sang Ning is his and Xiaozhi's daughter. Zhou Yongzhuo is very excited and wants to let everyone know that he has a daughter.

But... Chu Yuanlin has raised Sang Ning for more than ten years, and the family relationship between them is inseparable. Zhou Yongzhuo knows and understands this, so he does not intend to force Chu Sangning to recognize him.

"Okay, now that we've talked about it, let's eat first. Today Sang Ning cooked some of her specialties, everyone should try them." Qiao Xiangye stepped forward to liven up the atmosphere, motioning for everyone to wash their faces and go eat.

Chu Sangning stood there silently, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking. While everyone was going to the kitchen to serve the dishes, Jiang Xingyan pinched the little girl's face.

"Okay, don't think too much. Things will work out when the time comes. Let's go eat first."

At the dinner table, Chu Yuanlin and Zhou Yongzhuo sat on Chu Sangning's left and right, while the real target Jiang Xingyan sat opposite the girl with a wronged look on his face.

Looking at the murderous eyes of the two fathers-in-law, I dared not move.

"Sang Ning, eat this, it's delicious."

"This is also delicious. Ningning, eat this."

Chu Yuanlin and Zhou Yongzhuo both rushed to pick up food for Chu Sangning.
