258 Destined Daughter (1)
Su Mo continued, “Granduncle is the only legitimate son in the family. Old Madam won’t allow him to marry a distant cousin who doesn’t match his family background.”
“So Old Madam broke them up?” Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin thoughtfully.
“Qin Che and Qin Canglan look a little alike. Could it be that… that cousin was secretly married to Qin Canglan back then? Is Qin Che her son?”
…
!!
In the messy study, Qin Che lay on the ground in a sorry state.
Qin Canglan stood at the side as if he had been struck by lightning.
“No, impossible… You’re not my son… I don’t have a son like you!”
Qin Che wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
His father… was really ruthless…
If he was not Su Huayin’s child, he would have no value in Qun Canglan’s eyes…
“Father…” Qin Che smiled sarcastically. “Have you forgotten… how you and my mother dated back then?”
Qin Canglan gritted his teeth. “Nonsense! When did I and your mother… who is your mother?”
Qin Che laughed until tears fell. “Father, don’t you even remember your cousin?”
“Ruan… Xianglian? You’re Ruan Xianglian’s child?” Qin Canglan found such a person from his long-forgotten memories.
Then he fell silent.
Qin Che took in his reaction and smiled coldly. “Father, you finally remember?”
“I… She… How could…” Qin Canglan frowned even more. “Impossible… This is impossible!”
Qin Che’s cold smile deepened. “Father, have you forgotten about the night you slept with my mother?”
Qin Canglan shouted, “Shut up!”
Qin Che said mockingly, “Only Father can do it, but I’m not allowed to say it as a son? Father, why do you think my mother was sent to the village to recuperate back then? Mother was pregnant with Father’s flesh and blood! Grandmother was afraid of ruining Father’s reputation, so she sent my mother to the village and locked her up for an entire year! Later on, my mother escaped with me, who was still in infancy…”
“Father married the high and mighty daughter of the Marquis’s Estate, but my mother and I hid everywhere to live. We were afraid that we would be captured by Grandmother and imprisoned for the rest of our lives!”
“Do you understand what kind of life we had during those years, Father?”
“You and Su Huayin are husband and wife. Have you considered how pitiful my mother was?”
This was the first time Qin Che had called his legitimate mother by her name, and it was not so difficult to call her that.
“Yes, I pretended to be Su Huayin’s son and returned to the Qin family, but this was what the mother and son owed me! If it weren’t for Su Huayin, you would have married my mother! I’m your eldest son! I’m the heir of the Duke’s Estate!”
Qin Canglan frowned. “Is that what your mother told you? Where is she now? Find her. I want to confront her face to face and understand!”
Qin Che lowered his eyes and muttered, “My mother has already pa.s.sed away… If you want to see my mother, why don’t you go underground to look for her…”
“You…” Qin Canglan fell back in anger.
Qin Canglan did not expect such a variable to happen.
Qin Che looked up at his father again. “It was a coincidence to get that jade pendant. My mother spent all her a.s.sets and even sold the shop that had been open for a few years to buy it. My mother said that she had nothing left. I told my mother that I would earn it for her. Unfortunately, she pa.s.sed away before she could enjoy life. Father, don’t you think she was very pitiful?”
Qin Canglan was furious. “Shut up! I don’t know what nonsense your mother said to you. In short, we’re not what you think! Even without Huayin, I wouldn’t have married her!”
Qin Che looked at him in disappointment, his eyes filled with endless grievance. “So Father, if I didn’t use this method, would you acknowledge me? Do you think I’m willing to use someone else’s ident.i.ty? But if I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t even have the right to call you Father!”
As he spoke, he roared and pounded his chest. Tears streamed down his face.
“Is this fair to me? To me? I’m your son too…”
…
On the roof, Su Mo and Su Xiaoxiao’s expressions were solemn.
After all this time, she did not expect such a turn of events.
Was Qin Che actually Qin Canglan’s son?
Was he serious?
From their angle, they could not see Qin Canglan’s expression, but Qin Che’s was clear.
