Chapter 124: It’s Really His Daughter

“Chaochao, don’t run too far, take care of Rongrong and Xiaoya, okay?”

On a bright spring morning, Hu Yao took Jiang Chaochao to town, and also went to collect rent.

Besides the house they used to live in, Jiang Han had two other rooms in town. They were given to him as collateral by others many years ago. After Jiang’s new house was built, he rented them out, and the tenants paid the rent to Hu Yao every month.

Grandma Liu wasn’t feeling well today, so Grandpa Liu took her to the hospital. Hu Yao was watching the shop in the wine store.

Whenever the little ones got together, they would run around and play wildly in the street. Hu Yao had to remind them many times.

Besides Rongrong and Xiaoya, there were several other children. Hu Yao gave each of them a candy with a gentle smile.

They were chattering happily, skipping along as they walked.

“…Tang Haofei?”

Not long after the little ones ran out, Hu Yao saw a sneaky figure outside the door. She went out to take a few glances, and hesitantly called out his name.

He was badly injured and had been in the hospital for a long time. After the first visit with Jiang Han, Hu Yao hadn’t seen him for a while. He should still be recovering in the hospital.

“What a coincidence, sister-in-law.” Tang Haofei greeted her casually and was about to leave.

He took two steps, then came back, looking at her earnestly. “Sister-in-law, do you think that little one looks like me?”

“Which little one? …Rongrong?” Hu Yao reacted slowly.

“Yes.”

“Your eyes are very similar, the moles at the corners of your left eyes are in the same place!” Hu Yao looked at him carefully, following his words, and was surprised to find.

Qiu Yarong really had a pair of phoenix eyes that looked exactly like Tang Haofei’s.

Thinking about what Qiu Yingwen said about Qiu Yarong’s “rogue father,” and then thinking about his recent entanglement with Qiu Yingwen, Hu Yao suddenly realized something.

Tang Haofei’s voice was dry and tight, “She, what did she say…about Rongrong’s dad?”

Hu Yao looked at him for a moment and repeated truthfully, “Dead rogue, pervert, slut…”

“Why are you cursing, sister-in-law!” Tang Haofei jumped up.

“I didn’t say it.” Hu Yao frowned at him.

He was reacting so strongly.

He himself had cursed a lot, and it wasn’t very pleasant! Now that it was about him, he finally knew how bad it felt?

Thinking about it this way, Hu Yao looked at him with even more disdain, didn’t want to deal with him, and turned to go back.

Tang Haofei was given a white by Hu Yao, and he remained silent for a moment.

Then he thought about that little one, who was really his daughter, and a complex mix of emotions surged through him, making him feel hot.

She was really carrying his child back then.

…Since that wild man didn’t want her, he wouldn’t hold it against her for the sake of their daughter!

“Sister Wenwen, you’re so kind.”

In the pastry shop, Du Ximei looked at Qiu Yingwen with admiration and hugged her arm in dependence.

“It’s me who should thank you. Those few years, you helped me watch over the shop in Yun City. It’s the same for me and Rongrong, wherever we are. You are my dearest sister, and now that you’ve married here, we sisters can look after each other.” Qiu Yingwen smiled softly and rubbed her head as she did when they were young.

When she was ten years old, her mother passed away, and her father quickly married a new wife, bringing with her a younger sister who was only two years younger than her.

It was her grandfather, Du Ximei’s grandfather, who saw her suffering in the Qiu family and took her away from the Qiu family. She and Du Ximei had been close since they were little girls, and their relationship had grown even deeper since then.

However, later, she went back to the Qiu family to get back the dowry and the shop that belonged to her mother.

At the age of eighteen, she met Lu Juntao…no, Tang Haofei. At that age, she was still young and naive, and was completely fooled by that jerk, giving him her heart and body.

When the educated youth returned to the city, he suddenly disappeared, and she couldn’t find him no matter what. Later, she found out she was pregnant, but still couldn’t see him.

She didn’t publicize her relationship with him, and only a few people knew about it. She asked her childhood playmate to help her find out about him, and got his address in his hometown.

At that time, there were too many educated youth who returned to the city and abandoned their wives and children, but she didn’t believe he was that kind of person. Even though they had argued about many trivial matters before, she waited for another month, still without any news from him, and she resolutely took all her savings and went to find him.

Transportation was inconvenient, and the journey was long and arduous. She was pregnant with Qiu Yarong and her body was not well. As a girl, she encountered many troubles along the way, but fortunately, she had some skills to survive. However, once, her money was stolen by a thief. That year, she gave birth to Qiu Yarong and suffered a lot. After contacting Du Ximei and receiving the money, she stayed in the hospital for three months, and then went to find him again.

She went to his ‘home’, but was treated as a fraud, and a woman of ill repute.

She still couldn’t see him at that time, and later she heard the news that ‘he’ was seriously ill. Thinking about how he had told her, both jokingly and seriously, that he was not in good health, she comforted herself that he was delayed because he was sick, and she felt a pang of worry and concern for him, eager to know how he was doing.

Lu Juntao was seriously ill and sought medical treatment everywhere. She followed his tracks and took Qiu Yarong to find him, and after many twists and turns, she finally found him last year.

But it wasn’t him!

That liar! He had been lying to her from the beginning!

Lu Juntao listened to her story of finding Tang Haofei, feeling sympathy for her, and also feeling guilty because of his connection to her, he told her everything about Tang Haofei.

She couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment. She only felt ridiculous about those few years, and all the complex feelings she had for him turned into anger. She wanted to kill him immediately!

After all these years of wandering, Qiu Yarong’s body was not very good. She had been deprived of nourishment in the womb, and she had suffered a lot at birth. If it hadn’t been for the doctor introduced by Lu Juntao that year, she wouldn’t be as healthy as she is now.

As soon as her little body recovered, she took her to West City, Tang Haofei’s real hometown.

A bastard with such a big reputation as him didn’t need to be kept for a long time.

Word got around, everywhere she went, she heard about his “good deeds”!

Indeed, he hadn’t lied to her back then. He really wasn’t a good person! It was just that she didn’t believe it!

From that day when she saw him flirting with another woman, she once again clearly realized how ridiculous her persistence had been for the past few years! He was rotten to the core. His past kindness, his promises, his appearance, all became so blurry and unfamiliar.

Just pretend he’s dead!

She told herself this that day, as if she had woken up from a dream. At that moment, she still wanted to escape, she didn’t want to accept it.

But the next day she regretted it! She regretted not going up and beating him to death on the spot!

She had been carrying the burden of Qiu Yarong’s bad reputation for so many years, it was the same everywhere she went. She originally planned to go back to Yun City, but later she learned that Du Ximei was also in Xicheng. After careful consideration, she decided to stay and look after each other with Du Ximei, her closest relative.
