Zhuang Nainai had no idea that this scene would be related to her. She entered her house and was surprised.
Her mother was standing in the small living room in shock. She rushed and hid behind Zhuang Nainai when she saw her come in. In a soft voice, she said, “Nainai, I’m scared, there are so many people.”
A middle-aged couple sat on the living room couch.
They were not strangers to Zhuang Nainai because they always appeared on the finance channels on TV.
The man, Gu Deshou, was suited in black. He was the mature and composed Chairman of the Gu Corporation.
The woman by his side was his wife. She was dressed expensively and was full of arrogance.
The Gu Corporation had billions in assets and was well-known in Beijing.
However, these two high-fliers who appeared to live in a completely different world from hers… why were they in her house?
Gu Deshou looked at the mother and daughter. With a complex expression, he stood and extended his hand out to Zhuang Nainai. “Hi. I am… your father.”
In an instant, Zhuang Nainai felt as if a hurricane of different emotions cruised through her. Her throat clenched and she fought back her tears.
Father…
It had always been just her mother and her from the beginning. Whenever she saw others with two loving parents, she questioned her mother where her father was.
This always brought tears to her mother’s eyes. Mother would always give a half-hearted reply and proceed to cry for the night.
Zhuang Nainai grew up and learned not to ask. She believed that Father must have abandoned them. Mother was so kind and strong, she would never be the one at fault.
However, she was also curious.
What would her father be like?
When she was wronged and upset and was almost dying from a heartbreak five years ago, she would imagine her father coming to her rescue.
She tried to compose herself, but her shaking hands betrayed her inner thoughts.
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and sat up straight in her seat. Her whole body was alert and taut with tension. “Why should I believe you?”
The secretary who stood at their sides handed her a copy of the paternity testing DNA report.
Zhuang Nainai stared at the report unmoving. She folded and placed it in her pocket and raised her head.
With her eyes on Gu Deshou and fighting her raging anger boiling within, she pointed to the door. “Leave!”
Everyone was stunned. Nobody expected this turn of event.
Gu Deshou’s brows wrinkled, and his face went pale.
His wife, Li Yufeng, stood and yelled at Zhuang Nainai, “What are you doing?”
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists, her body shaking uncontrollably from her emotions. With red eyes, she looked at Gu Deshou. “What am I doing? I have no father!” Her tears finally fell. “Why did you only appear now? Why only now? When my mother was in an accident and lying in the hospital with a head injury, where were you? When I can’t afford the medical bills nor the school fees and had to be suspended, where were you? When I was mocked and when mother was ridiculed as a crazy person, where were you?”
Zhuang Nainai grew more upset as she spoke. Huge teardrops fell from her eyes. She felt suffocated, as if a wad of cotton was lodged in her chest.
Gu Deshou looked lost and desperate. He started, “I…”
But he was cut off mid-sentence when Li Yufeng suddenly spoke. In a voice that was cold and distant, she announced, “This woman is not your mother.”
