An Xin was frightened, continuously stepping back, "You, what do you want to do? You’ve already hit once and now you want to hit again! Miss Gu, don’t bully people too much!"
"So what if I’m bullying you!" Gu Qibao didn’t pay her any mind and directly slapped her hard across the face, loudly and forcefully!
"Ah!" An Xin scread, imdiately covering her face, overwheld with grievance, "You!"
"Don’t hit my mom!" Nini cried, trying to push Gu Qibao away.
Gu Qibao grabbed Nini and calmly said, "I’m hitting her to wake her up. A woman like her is desecrating your father. Do you know that your biological father sacrificed his life for the country? He’s a national hero. How could you not know who your biological father is!"
Nini trembled with fear, crying with pursed lips, and pointed to Di Mingchen, "My, my daddy is him!"
Di Mingchen really had a headache; how did Nini beco like this?
"He’s your daddy?" Gu Qibao raised her eyebrows, "Wrong! Your daddy is no longer here; he sacrificed himself for the country and the people! You should be proud to be his daughter. How can you randomly acknowledge soone else as your father? You can call him godfather, but you absolutely cannot call him daddy!"
"Let go of Nini, what do you want to do? Are you going to bully even a child?" An Xin seed agitated, urgently rushing forward to pull Nini into her protective embrace.
She cried heartbrokenly, "Isn’t it pitiful enough for a child to be born without a father? She’s just a child who wants to have a father like everyone else—is that so wrong? She’s so young, do you have to tell her that her father is gone, dead, gone forever, that she’s a child without a dad?
Can’t we wait until she’s older and can understand before telling her the truth? It’s just a na, but this na is enough to comfort Nini’s childhood. Is that really asking too much? Why are you treating us, an orphan and widow, like this!"
"Just a na?" Gu Qibao raised an eyebrow, then slapped An Xin on the face again.
Nini cried loudly, pounding on Gu Qibao’s leg, "Bad person, bad person, don’t hit my mom, don’t bully her!"
"I’m not bullying her; I’m waking her up!" Gu Qibao glanced at Nini, then at An Xin, "Whether a child understands or not is an adult’s educational issue. It’s unfortunate that Nini lost her father, but it’s not tragic, because her father wasn’t a nefarious person; on the contrary, he was a martyr for our country. His death is a fact, and it remains a fact whether Nini is young or grown up.
Since it’s a fact, it needs to be faced head-on. You can tell Nini, tell her that her father sacrificed himself to save the lives of citizens. That’s honorable, that’s sothing to be proud of. In the future, soone like her father will love her. We can all love her.
She can have a godfather or find a foster father, but the title of ’dad’ is not sothing to be used carelessly!"
"Isn’t it just because Nini called him daddy?" An Xin’s eyes were red, her face swollen, as she looked at Gu Qibao.
"Nonsense!" Gu Qibao interrupted her, "My second brother is now a family man. Your child calling him daddy, what position does that put my second sister-in-law in? You don’t respect us, yet you expect us to respect you? What gives you the right? Just because you and your child are alone? Let be blunt, there are plenty of orphans and widows in this world! Does that an every one of them should claim my second brother as their dad?
There’s nothing wrong with recognizing a godfather. Di Mingjue has sponsored and adopted many orphans and impoverished households, but none of them are shaless enough to call him daddy!"
