"Dad..."
Liang Taisheng patted her shoulder lovingly:"It’s all in the past now, Dad is taking you home."
Back in the car, Liang Wenwan remained silent the whole time, while Liang Taisheng took a call. After hanging up, he looked at her with concern, raising a hand to stroke her hair.
"Wanwan has suffered."
Liang Wenwan suddenly turned to look at him, her piercing gaze making Liang Taisheng feel almost exposed.
"Dad, who is my real mother?"
The shock in Liang Taisheng’s eyes flickered and disappeared. Had Liang Wenwan not been watching him closely, she might have been deceived. Liang Taisheng calmly said:"Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking, your mother...."
"Don’t try to fool me with that. Huang Wenqing has told me everything."
Liang Wenwan’s blunt words nearly broke Liang Taisheng’s composure. He cursed that woman inwardly, and with the look of determination in Liang Wenwan’s eyes, he sighed helplessly.
"I didn’t think you would find out."
Liang Wenwan’s biological mother, Lin Xiaoxiao, was Liang Taisheng’s high school classmate and also his first love. They had planned to attend the same college, but after Liang Taisheng got in, Lin Xiaoxiao broke the promise and disappeared without a trace. Liang Taisheng was disheartened for a long time until junior Huang Wenqing fell for him at first sight at an event, persistently pursuing him. After graduating, he started a business, and Huang Wenqing steadfastly supported him, earning his acceptance over time. As the business stabilized, his family urged him to marry, and Huang Wenqing had won their favor. He thought he might never love anyone again, so it seemed reasonable to marry this woman. He expressed his true feelings to Huang Wenqing, who understood his emotional wounds but confessed she wouldn’t mind as long as she could be with him. He was genuinely moved by the love this woman had for him, and thus, they walked into marriage together.
What he didn’t expect was that in the first year of marriage, during a social gathering, he met a hostess — none other than his first love, Lin Xiaoxiao.
The storyline seemed cliché and melodramatic, yet it happened to him. He was shocked and annoyed; this woman had betrayed their promises and love, sinking to the level of a hostess, with vulgar makeup, cheap clothing, and a sycophantic smile, allowing those men to grope her. No longer pure and beautiful, just vulgar and degrading.
That night, he drank heavily, eventually pulling her out of the room amidst meaningful glances from others, angrily questioning her. She responded with a dismissive smile, infuriating him, and the events that followed he couldn’t quite recall. When he woke up, he was in a hotel bed, and the disheveled room, along with the marked woman under the covers, reminded him of what happened last night.
And so they entangled again, he hated her betrayal, endlessly and vengefully using her like a tool for his bed, yet the mature and voluptuous body made him infatuated, finding an excitement unavailable from the plain Huang Wenqing. His heart, once moved for her, revived.
When she explained her sudden departure stemmed from family misfortune, she couldn’t attend college, but had to shoulder the family’s burden, prematurely working, not wanting to drag him down, he felt both pity and anger and guilt.
He admitted being a jerk, not liking Huang Wenqing, yet marrying her, later blatantly cheating, not intending to hide it from Huang Wenqing. If she wanted a divorce, he’d pay ample alimony, especially after learning Xiaoxiao was pregnant with his child, deciding firmly to give her a formal status.
He underestimated a woman’s jealousy. When Huang Wenqing found out about Xiaoxiao, she reacted fiercely, refusing to divorce unless she died. He struggled to cope, thinking to wait until the child was born, but unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao vanished...
When he received the child, looking at the adorable, beautiful little girl, he excitedly held her close, determined to give her a family, endless love...thus he concealed the child’s lineage, claiming she was an orphan he adopted, and after years of childlessness, Huang Wenqing grudgingly agreed. Secretly, he kept searching for Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts, to no avail...
Until five years later, unexpectedly reuniting, under such circumstances...
That scene, to this day, he refuses to recall.
"Wanwan, no matter who your biological mother is, you’re still Dad’s most beloved daughter, understand?"
Liang Taisheng poured all his fatherly love onto her, and Liang Wenwan always knew how much Liang Taisheng loved her. That love...from her early memories, within that caring and affectionate gaze, was always a deep and complex emotion that made her uncomfortable.
At this moment, looking at Liang Taisheng’s gentle, loving gaze, something exploded in her mind. Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine, limbs cold, as if she had plunged into an icy pit.
Pressing her dry lips, she discreetly shifted her gaze, softly saying:"So I’m your illegitimate daughter from an extramarital affair, right?"
"Wanwan?" Liang Taisheng frowned, his large hand landing on her shoulder, unconsciously massaging it. Once, Liang Wenwan never thought this way; now, only feeling disgusted, she resisted the urge to push him away, her hands resting on her knees, nails digging into her palm, the sting keeping her rational.
"How can you think like that? You’re Dad’s most beloved daughter, always have been..."
The words were too familiar. Once, they moved her; now, they felt harsh.
"I have no chance with Ruan Songxi anymore...." she murmured.
Liang Taisheng’s eyes flashed with a chilling coldness, he gritted his teeth and said:"Ruan Wencheng killed your sister, even if not for that, you and him were impossible. Dad never approved of him, he’s frivolous and dissolute, certainly not a suitable match, better to end it early. My daughter is so excellent, she deserves a better man."
Liang Wenwan looked at him in shock, her pale lips trembling:"Rourou...?"
Liang Taisheng sighed, his eyes filled with evident pain:"Your sister is gone, all because of that lunatic Ruan Wencheng...."
Rourou is dead?
Though she never liked this sister who constantly competed with her, she didn’t wish her death...
Yet secretly, a sliver of satisfaction; Huang Wenqing cherished this daughter, knowing she died, she wondered what expression would play on her face.
Startled by the thought, Liang Wenwan sharply looked up at Liang Taisheng’s eyes. His sorrow wasn’t fake, but too superficial...
She seemed to recognize the man before her for the first time, her nominal and biological father.
"Wanwan, Dad only has you left; you mustn’t leave Dad...." Liang Taisheng drew her into his arms, his hurt tone, if it had been before, would surely move and sadden her.
But at this moment, she felt only mockery and madness.
Suppressing the impulse to push him away, Liang Wenwan bitten her lips, a chilling light flashed in her eyes.
