Capítulo 1895: Chapter 1894: Of Course You’re My Daughter
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart tightened.
Mr. Bai’s call of “Xiaoxiao” was filled with deep concern and worry.
To Bai Xiaoxiao’s ears, it inexplicably made her nose tingle, and she instinctively pressed her lips together.
Mr. Bai’s face, marked by the wrinkles of ti, was now more pronounced due to worry.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxiao felt another wave of pain.
In her ears, she couldn’t control the echo of ng Ke’s words: “Your biological father is not your current father…”
“Dad.”
She softly called out.
Her voice carried a barely noticeable tremble.
Mr. Bai squinted his eyes sharply, “Xiaoxiao, did Luo Haofeng bully you, or did Wu Jingfang say sothing unpleasant?”
Hadn’t Luo Haofeng called a few days ago to say that his mother and father were traveling and wouldn’t return for anything trivial?
If it wasn’t Wu Jingfang, who else could it be?
Could it really be that Luo Haofeng bullied his treasured daughter?
Then again, Mr. Bai thought it was impossible and imdiately ruled out that Luo Haofeng bullied Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao, on her way back on the plane, had already thought about how to tell her parents when she got ho, but she was only thinking of what excuse to use, not revealing the truth.
Who knew Luo Haofeng would make it public?
Now that things had co to this point, she couldn’t hide it anymore.
She composed herself and spoke in as calm a voice as possible, “Dad, ng Ke called yesterday and told about sothing that happened over twenty years ago.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai’s eyes shifted in color, and his facial expression changed several tis.
His gaze towards Bai Xiaoxiao beca complicated.
“Xiaoxiao, what did ng Ke tell you?”
Mr. Bai guessed at so possibilities, but he thought, how could ng Ke know such things?
“ng Ke said, back then, Wu Jingfang hurt my mom.”
As she said this, Bai Xiaoxiao could no longer maintain her calm.
From her gritted teeth tone, Mr. Bai knew his guess was correct.
There was nothing besides that one incident back then that could make Bai Xiaoxiao run back a day after going to City B, and Luo Haofeng, at this ti, severing ties with Wu Jingfang.
Deep in his eyes, a flicker of emotion passed. He steadied himself and saw that Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red.
Mr. Bai felt a pang in his heart and gently said, “Xiaoxiao, sit down.”
Earlier, only Mr. Bai was sitting while Bai Xiaoxiao was standing aside.
But Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t sit down; instead, she fixed her gaze on Mr. Bai and stiffly said, “Dad, can you tell about what happened back then?”
Mr. Bai’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t refuse. He just seed to grow older suddenly, with a flicker of agony deep in his eyes.
Even after all these years, he had never truly let it go.
“Sit down, and I’ll tell you slowly.”
Bai Xiaoxiao sat beside him, her eyes red as she waited for him to tell her the truth.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s hands, placed in front of her, were tightly intertwined. Since yesterday afternoon, she dared not hold even a shred of hope.
Now, looking at her aging father, a sharp pain twisted in her heart, and she dared not dream it wasn’t true.
In her heart, she knew too well that such things couldn’t be false.
“Back then, your mom and Luo Rongbin were in love, but Wu Jingfang, being vicious, used sches to get together with Luo Rongbin. Your mom, heartbroken, severed ties with Luo Rongbin…”
“Then, by chance, Luo Rongbin t your mom again, which Wu Jingfang might have found out about.”
At this point, Mr. Bai stopped talking.
He would never forget that scene, nor the amount of effort it took to help Qiao Xiuyun survive after what she had endured.
All these years, only he knew that Qiao Xiuyun often woke up from nightmares.
Yet back then, despite his efforts, he couldn’t find out that it was Wu Jingfang who hired people to do it.
The rest of the story didn’t need to be spoken; Bai Xiaoxiao already had the answer from his pained expression.
She tried her best to control it, but tears still fell.
She couldn’t tell if it was more sadness or self-bla.
“Xiaoxiao, that was sothing more than twenty years ago. None of us can change it, let alone turn back ti to over twenty years ago. What we can do is treat your mom better and make her happy.”
Bai Xiaoxiao still had a doubt in her mind, but she hesitated, unsure whether to ask.
She knew her father had always loved her mother dearly, much like Mo Xiuchen loved Wen Ran. Her father was undoubtedly a rare good man in this world.
Even if she wasn’t truly his daughter, it didn’t affect his love for her.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t be sad.”
Mr. Bai lifted his hand to wipe away his daughter’s tears, his gentle tone carrying an undeniable firmness, “Regarding the past, I don’t want your mom to hear even a word of it. Don’t bring it up in front of her, and don’t be sad over things that can’t be changed.”
Bai Xiaoxiao understood her father’s aning, and precisely because of this, she felt even sadder.
If such a thing had happened to her, she would surely never want to see the person who hurt her again, let alone anything or anyone related to them.
Yet she had repeatedly poured salt on her mother’s wounds.
Even though Luo Haofeng had nothing to do with the events back then, he was Wu Jingfang’s son, a fact no one could change.
“ng Ke told more than just that.”
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her head, staring at her toes, her voice unusually stiff.
Mr. Bai frowned and asked with suspicion, “What else did ng Ke tell you, and who told him these things?”
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together tightly, “ng Ke said, I’m not your daughter.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice carried a hint of an uncontrollable tremor, and asking this question, she was very afraid.
Mr. Bai’s expression changed at this, and he angrily said, “I always thought ng Ke wasn’t as honest and reliable as he appeared. I never expected him to be such a sneaky, despicable person, spouting such nonsense.”
Bai Xiaoxiao, who had been lowering her head, lifted it to et Mr. Bai’s furious eyes and stubbornly asked, “Dad, please tell , is what he said true?”
Mr. Bai, breathing a bit heavily due to his anger, said, “Xiaoxiao, that woman, Wu Jingfang, did hurt your mom back then, but you can’t believe other people’s nonsense and let them sow discord because of that.”
“Of course, you’re my daughter. She resents you being with Luo Haofeng and wants to break you up, so she’s adding fuel to the fire with nonsense.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s suspended heart relaxed slightly at that mont.
Mr. Bai’s voice continued, just a bit more composed than before, “Xiaoxiao, if you don’t believe it, you can have a DNA paternity test done.”
