Chapter 896: Who Will Feel Sorry for My Daughter?
Nangong Lengyu looked at him as her tears rolled down silently. In a trembling voice, she questioned, “What do you want? Exactly what do you want to do? What right do you have to make decisions for me time and time again? What right do you have to look for her?”
“She’s your daughter. Why don’t I have the right to look for her? She has half the bloodline of my Nangong Family in her. Why can’t I go find her?” Nangong Lun’s voice was very calm, but his grip on his chopsticks suddenly tightened.
“Why are you still like this at this point in time?” Nangong Lengyu suddenly broke down. Her body could not help but tremble. She looked at the person in front of her in anger and despair. “Have you never felt the slightest regret for what had happened back then?”
How could he say such a thing so matter-of-factly? Did he not feel guilty or feel sorry for her at all?
Exactly what kind of person was her father? She could not see clearly now, nor did she want to know anymore.
“If history repeated itself, I would still have done that.” The chopsticks in Nangong Lun’s hand suddenly broke into two pieces. However, his voice was as cold as ever as he looked at her and said, “I’ve never regretted it.”
“Why did you do that?!” Nangong Lengyu shrieked hysterically. She could not help but cry aloud. In a sobbing voice, she asked loudly, “Why did you do that to me?!”
Nangong Lun paused for a long time, his body trembling slightly. When he looked up, his eyes gradually turned red. He forced out one word after another through gritted teeth. “Because you’re my daughter!”
“Sheng Sheng is also my daughter!” After Nangong Lengyu bellowed it out, she sobbed silently. Her voice became louder and louder until it eventually became a roar. “Why did you do that to her?! She’s my daughter, Father! She’s my daughter! She’s my daughter who was born after 10 months of pregnancy!”
“Yu’er, I know you’re concerned and your heart aches for your daughter,” Nangong Lun looked at her with heartache, but he did not dare get up to approach and comfort her. His eyes were extremely red. “What about my daughter then? What about my daughter? Who’s going to feel sorry for my daughter?!”
He did not care what would happen to others. He only wanted his daughter to live happily and blessedly. He did not want her to feel hurt by the past. There was no need for her to sacrifice the happiness of the rest of her life for a mere child.
However, he was wrong. She would hate him. The surging hatred in her eyes was like knives stabbing his heart over and over again.
She hated and resented him for her daughter. Couldn’t he also hate and abhor the girl who might ruin her life for his daughter?!
Nangong Lengmo’s eyes were already red as he looked at his father, and then his older sister. He was at a loss and did not know whose side he should stand on.
In that case, none of them had been wrong? Then, who was in the wrong? Was it Little Star, who had been sent away as soon as she had been born?
But she was just a child? What did she know? What had she done wrong?! Why did she have to suffer so much pain and hardship?
Nangong Lengyu choked and could not speak. Even so, what right did he have to make the decision for her? She had already decided to keep her child. She had already decided to be a good mother, but he had still cruelly s.n.a.t.c.hed her away from her side.
Her stomach twisted in unbearable pain, and even her internal organs were cramping and hurting. Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her vision darkened. The pain made her mind go blank instantly and she vomited blood.
“Big Sister!”
“Yu’er!”
Nangong Lengmo and Nangong Lun stood up at the same time and dashed over in panic.
Nangong Lun looked at his daughter in his arms, his heart aching. She had already grown up. She had already grown this big, but in his heart, she would always be a child. She was his child, his precious daughter!
He could resort to any unscrupulous means for her. He could do anything for her!
However, she did not think that everything he had done was for her own good. She hated and blamed him for making a decision for her.
Was he wrong?
Had he really done something wrong?
…
After Ling Sheng finished eating, she returned to the bedroom.
Jun Shiyan played a building block puzzle with Xiaoqi while she read the script not far away. However, the duo opposite her kept talking, disturbing her thoughts. She could not calm down. After flipping through it for a long time, she still had not read a single word. Hence, she cupped her chin with both hands and lay on the carpet, watching the father and son play.
Xiaoqi disdained Jun Shiyan and taught him. “Dad, you put it in the wrong spot here. You have to put it here.”
Jun Shiyan admitted his mistake very humbly and placed it in the right place. He asked seriously again, “This should be right!”
Xiaoqi nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, it’s right now.”
Ling Sheng felt that no matter what the duo did, they looked strangely similar, as though they were really father and son. When she looked at them, the depression in her heart disappeared, and her mood improved a lot too.
Jun Shiyan tilted his head and saw the young lady staring at them seriously. He smiled and said, “Come over and have fun!”
Ling Sheng was stupid at play this. However, Xiaoqi’s att.i.tude toward her and Jun Shiyan were completely different. He taught her patiently.
However, Ling Sheng did not know how to do it. If she did not know how to do it, it meant that she did not know how to do it. No matter how many times she was taught, she would always misplace it. In the end, she gave up on herself and threw the things on the ground. “I’m not playing anymore! You guys can play on your own!”
Xiaoqi took a look at Jun Shiyan and gave him a secret look.
Jun Shiyan chuckled lovingly. Upon seeing the young lady’s exasperated look, he placed the blocks in her palm and taught her how to lay them down personally,
However, Ling Sheng was a fool. After playing for a long time, she still did not know how to play. Thus, she wanted to play cards. Since Xiaoqi could not play, it would be simpler. They would draw the numbers and the person with the bigger number would be the winner. The loser would have to be smacked in their forehead.
Ling Sheng, who was possessed by a koi[1], was very lucky. She won easily even when drawing cards casually. The more she played, the more addicted she became. She looked at the two people on the opposite side, who were reluctant to play and had started refusing to acknowledge that they had lost. She tapped the cards with her fingers. “You said we’d play until I was happy. It has only been a while. Have you guys started regretting it?”
“Mommy, you must have cheated!” Xiaoqi frowned gloomily. Why did he and Dad lose every time?
“What cheating? I’m lucky!” Ling Sheng laughed arrogantly and pointed at the two of them. They had to sit properly, and weren’t allowed to move.
Ha ha ha ha! It was more interesting to keep winning. She could no longer remember how many rounds she had won. When she saw the two people opposite her, who had already closed their eyes and taken the initiative to bring their foreheads to her, she flicked their foreheads.
The game continued.
Xiaoqi and Jun Shiyan looked at each other and sighed at the same time. They could see helplessness and affection in each other’s eyes.
Xiaoqi: As long as Mommy is happy, it doesn’t matter how long I play.
Jun Shiyan: The young lady is not in a good mood today. If playing this can make her happy, I will sacrifice myself to keep her company.
Ling Sheng was shuffling the cards excitedly. She did not know why her luck was so good tonight either. She had played so many rounds, but she had not lost yet. “Third Master, do you think the lottery shop is closed yet at this time? I think that I’ve been possessed by a koi today, I’ll definitely win a grand prize today!”
[1] A koi is a lucky symbol in Chinese Feng Shui.
