So, Su Wanwan secretly pinched her thigh, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. Staring with her watery eyes, she asked with trembling lips, "Daddy, are you... are you telling the truth? You... don't want Wanwan anymore?"
Seeing Su Wanwan's reluctance to part with him, Su Mu felt a surge of pride.
Look, even though they're not his biological daughters, they can't bear to part with him!
The little girl is the least likely to lie.
Those colleagues who spoke ill of him behind his back are simply clueless! They've lost their minds!
Su Mu looked very troubled and sighed, "Wanwan, it's not that Daddy doesn't want you. It's just that the rumors are too terrible. Their saliva is almost drowning Daddy!"
Not only that, but this morning at court, my father was impeached by a censor. The Emperor ordered me to resolve the matters at home.
But that's not the case; it's not what the common people are saying.
Su Mu's eyes glazed over as he reminisced, "Back then, I took your mother with me on a military trip, but unexpectedly, she suddenly went into labor. The situation was urgent, so I sent Tongzhu to find a midwife, while Tiezhu and I took her to a dilapidated temple."
As it happened, there was already a pregnant woman in the temple. She was with a two-year-old child, clutching her stomach, and looked pained.
Judging from her appearance, she's probably about to give birth.
That woman is your biological mother.
A short while later, Tongzhu returned with the midwife. Your mother, Madam Hu, went into labor early and quickly gave birth to Wan'er.
Seeing your birth mother in such pain, I couldn't bear it, so I had the midwife deliver the baby for her as well.
At this point, Su Mu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you should call Wan'er 'elder sister'."
"And then? What happened next? Wanwan doesn't believe that Father listened to the slander of some jinx or lucky star and switched Wanwan and Sister Wan'er. It must be just nonsense from the people in the neighborhood!"
Su Mu's thoughts were exposed, and the corners of his mouth, which had been smirking, froze. He quickly adjusted his expression, frowning as he said, "Of course it's not like that. The dilapidated temple we were in was deserted, nestled against a mountain. In the middle of the night, a few bandits suddenly appeared, and in our haste, we accidentally took you and Wan'er by mistake."
You have a bright red lotus flower on your forehead, but Wan'er doesn't. Naturally, we wouldn't mistake our own daughter for someone else.
Your mother, Ms. Hu, and I also searched for your biological parents, hoping to exchange you two back, but after many years of searching, we still came up empty-handed.
Some time ago, we finally received news of your biological parents. So, they sent someone to bring Wan'er back.
I originally planned to raise you in the manor as well. We've been father and daughter for twelve years, and I've cherished you since you were little. Naturally, I couldn't bear to part with you. But fate is cruel; this happened. Father, Father… alas, there's nothing I can do about it!
At this moment, Su Mu finally managed to squeeze out two drops of cat urine. He looked at Su Wanwan, "Wanwan, your father had no other choice."
Su Wanwan: ……
She doesn't believe him for a second; Su Mu is a wicked old man!
If the young woman in her department hadn't mentioned this to her, she almost would have believed it!
Hmph, what a pity!
She knows the truth!
However, some pretense is still necessary.
She needed to at least elicit Su Mu's pity and satisfy his chauvinistic tendencies so that he wouldn't make things too difficult for her when she left tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Su Wanwan pinched her thigh even harder, and instantly, tears welled up like a spring. "Waaah, Daddy, Wanwan can't bear to part with you. I know you're in a difficult position, but I don't want to make things difficult for you."
However, Father, I am very grateful to you for raising me for twelve years. Although you are not my biological father, you are more than a father to me.
I will remember your kindness in raising me for the rest of my life! Waaah—"
While crying, Su Wanwan's eyes rolled back and she fainted!
