Translator: 549690339

After hanging up the phone, when su Yicheng turned around again, he saw Anran looking at him. She asked in confusion, ” what happened? ”

Not wanting her to worry, su Yicheng shook his head at her with a faint smile and only said, ” “It’s nothing,”

He didn’t want to say more, so Anran didn’t ask. She just thought it was about work.

Anran felt that su Yicheng had become a little strange in the past week. He always came home early, but he still had a lot of work to do. Basically, he would go to the study room every time he came home and even rush to eat. Anran’s morning sickness was still the same, but it seemed to have slowly subsided in the past two days, and the number of times she vomited had obviously decreased. Aunt Zhang laughed at her and said that it was because of su Yicheng, because su Yicheng had been eating at home every day recently, and she had vomited less when she saw him.

Sometimes, Anran would lie in his arms at night and say that the ” little lover ” in her stomach must have loved her to death in her previous life. Every time she had a meal with him, she would have a great time eating. Not only would she vomit, but her appetite would also improve, and she would eat a lot more than usual. Every time he heard her say that, su Yicheng would always laugh and reach out to touch her stomach. Sometimes, he would even put his ear on her stomach and whisper to the baby inside. However, Anran would also hear all of his whispers. He said that he wanted to make his ” little lover ” be obedient inside, and when she came out and they met, he would take her to many fun places and eat a lot of delicious food.

An ran asked him mockingly if he had time. He turned to look at her with a serious face and said that he would accompany his daughter no matter how busy he was!

On the weekend, su Yicheng didn’t go to the office but took his work directly home. He used his study as his office the whole day, and the phone calls were so dense that they almost never stopped.

Anran was a little bored as she watched the Travel Channel in the living room. The exterior scenery was very beautiful, and the city that was introduced was Lyon, France. That was the place where Anran had been going on blind dates.

Lyon was a famous historical city with many medieval buildings. An ran was very tempted by those buildings. In fact, she had wanted to go there when she was a student. She liked the buildings of that period, but she had never had the chance to go there and take a look.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Anran was so attracted by the naean Cathedral on the TV that she couldn’t turn her eyes away. She stared at the TV and didn’t even look back. It was Auntie Zhang, who was cleaning the kitchen, who opened the door.

“Who are you looking for?” Mrs. Zhang asked the man standing at the door.

“Is an ran here?” The man looked at Mrs. Zhang with a nervous expression. He raised his head to look inside and saw Anran sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV with a pillow in her arms. He shouted, ” “An ran, an ran!”

Anran snapped out of her daze and turned around, but she was blocked by Auntie Zhang and didn’t see the person standing outside the door. However, the voice sounded familiar.

......

Anran put down the pillow, got up, and walked toward the door. She asked, ” “Mrs. Zhang, who’s that?”

Aunt Zhang turned around and turned to look at Anran. &Quot; Madam, he’s looking for you. &Quot;

Aunt Zhang turned around and an ran saw the man standing at the door. She stopped in her tracks and was a little surprised. The person standing at the door was none other than Tong Wenhai.

When Tong Wenhai saw Anran, he was a little happy and delighted. He directly pushed Auntie Zhang away and walked in. He didn’t even change his shoes and strode in front of Anran. He looked at Anran with a smile on his face. &Quot; ran, ran ran. &Quot; He reached out to take an ran’s hand.

Anran subconsciously avoided him and looked at him with a cold expression. After a while, she said indifferently, ” “Excuse me, what’s the matter?”

Tong Wenhai saw Anran’s indifference, and he could only sheepishly retract his hand that he had stretched out to hold her. He looked at her, and at this moment, his gaze was filled with guilt. He said somewhat embarrassedly, ” &Quot; Ranran, actually I ... Actually I ... &Quot; he wanted to say something, but he didn’t seem to have thought of what to say.

Anran frowned. &Quot; director Tong, ” she said, ” please leave. My house doesn’t welcome you. &Quot; She still remembered what he had said to her in the restaurant that day. She didn’t want to hear him point fingers at her and gossip about her again.

Tong Wenhai knew that she still had a problem with him because of what happened last time, so he quickly explained, ” &Quot; Ranran, it was my fault last time. I didn’t know you were pregnant. If I had known, I wouldn’t have said those words. Really. &Quot;

An ran sneered and turned to look at her. &Quot; “Whether I’m pregnant or not, what right do you have to say anything about me?”

&Quot; yes, yes, yes. It’s my fault. I didn’t figure out the situation. It’s all mo Fei’s fault. He married Xiaoxiao, but he’s still in a daze. &Quot;

Before Tong Wenhai could finish, Anran interrupted him coldly, ” &Quot; enough. I don’t want to hear you talk about your family. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to hear about it, which means I don’t want to know. &Quot;

“Okay, okay, okay, I won’t talk about them.” Tong Wenhai tried his best to go along with her request and didn’t dare to make her unhappy.

He really had no other way out now. He thought that no one would know about the demolition money, and even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to find out that he was involved. Back then, this matter was originally instructed by Ling Chuanjiang, and most of the demolition money was taken away by Ling Chuanjiang. However, who knew that the villagers in the north of the city would make such a big fuss because of the lack of money, and even alarmed su Yicheng to go to the scene. What was even more unexpected was that something would happen to Ling Chuanjiang at this time. Recently, the anti-corruption and anti-corruption activities of the Commission for Discipline Inspection had been very tight. This time, the lingchuanjiang incident had involved quite a number of people. Recently, Yan Li had also been slowly investigating his side. From the clues of the demolition money, it was estimated that it would be his turn soon. It was said that a few business CEOs had been invited to cooperate with the investigation, and Huang Dexing was one of them.

“I have nothing to say to director Tong.” Anran said. Without looking at him, she turned to Mrs. Zhang and said, ” “Mrs. Zhang, please help to send them off.” As she spoke, she walked towards her room. She did not want to see this person, so she instinctively rejected him.

Auntie Zhang nodded in a daze. She looked at Tong Wenhai and only said, ” “Please leave.”

Tong Wenhai didn’t look at her and only stared at Anran. When he saw that she was about to leave, he quickly stepped forward and took Anran’s hand. &Quot; Ranran, please help me beg su Yicheng to stop investigating, okay? Ranran, you don’t want to see me go to jail either, right? after all, I’m Hanhan. &Quot;

“Dong Wenhai!” Without waiting for Tong Wenhai to finish speaking, a shrill voice came from behind him, and it was filled with anger.

Behind her, Lin xiaofen had arrived at some point in time. The door was not closed, and she ran in directly from outside. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was a little messy. Gu Hengwen followed behind her. Because they had been running, the two of them now looked a little disheveled.

Anran looked at her parents in a daze, then at Tong Wenhai. She didn’t know what was going on.

Su Yicheng, who was in the study, was alarmed by the commotion outside. He didn’t even have time to take off the gold-rimmed glasses on his face before he came out. When he saw Tong Wenhai, his brows instinctively furrowed.

He stepped forward to support Anran from behind. Seeing that Anran’s hand had turned red from Tong Wenhai’s grip, his displeasure became even more obvious. He reached out to grab Tong Wenhai’s hand and used force to force Tong Wenhai to let go of Anran.

“Ah!” Tong Wenhai let go of Anran’s hand in pain, then turned his head to see that su Yicheng had already come out. He ignored Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen behind him and only looked at su Yicheng and said, ” &Quot; Deputy Mayor su, Yicheng, you’re home too? that’s great! &Quot;

Su Yicheng held Anran in his arms and stared straight at him. He asked expressionlessly, ” “Bureau chief Tong, what are you trying to do?”

&Quot; Yicheng, I’ll take out all the demolition money and we’ll stop investigating this matter. What do you think? ” Tong Wenhai looked at him expectantly. Now, there was nothing to hide. In fact, at this point, everyone already knew that if he continued to hide it, he would probably die an ugly death. He might as well expose it and beg him to spare his life. After all, with Anran’s relationship with him, su Yicheng had to give him some face even if he was unwilling.

Su Yicheng snorted coldly and said, ” bureau chief Tong, you must be joking. It’s not up to me to decide whether to investigate or not. I’ve never been a member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection or the inspection Bureau. You should have known this long ago, right? ”

“Hehe.” Tong Wenhai laughed drily and looked at him. He said in a flattering manner,”You must have a way.”

“Why should I help you?” Su Yicheng asked in return. Why did she help him? he didn’t have the obligation or responsibility to do so!

When he asked why, Tong Wenhai seemed to be a lot more confident. He looked at him and was about to say,”How can you not help me? you still don’t know me, I’m ran ran and she ran ran”

&Quot; Tong Wenhai, you’re not allowed to say it, you’re not allowed to say it ... &Quot; Lin xiaofen went forward as if she had gone mad. She grabbed Tong Wenhai and hit him hard, saying while hitting his mouth, ” “You bastard, you’re not allowed to say anything, you’re not allowed to say anything!” As she said that, her tears fell uncontrollably.

Gu Hengwen didn’t move from the side. He only looked at her. His hands that were hanging by his sides were tightly clenched, as if he was suppressing the surging emotions in his body.

Anran leaned into su Yicheng’s arms and didn’t say a word, but her body couldn’t help but tremble. She bit her lip tightly, and her grip on su Yicheng’s hand was so strong that it hurt him, but she didn’t notice it at all.

Su Yicheng looked at Anran worriedly and reached out to Pat her hand.

And the one who didn’t know the truth was Mrs. Zhang. She had no idea what was going on! It was a little dizzying.

“Enough!” Tong Wenhai was a little annoyed from being hit, and he pushed Lin xiaofen away. Lin xiaofen couldn’t stand still and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Hengwen was quick-witted and went up to hold her in his arms. He glared fiercely at Tong Wenhai and roared at him, ” “Tong Wenhai, what do you want to do!”

Tong Wenhai knew that he was in the wrong, so he glanced away from them. After a while, he said, ” &Quot; I know I’ve let you and your mother down, but no matter what, I’m still Anran’s Qianqian. &Quot;

“You close it!” This time, it wasn’t Lin xiaofen who spoke. It was an ran!

Everyone turned to look at Anran, only to see her push su Yicheng away, clench her teeth, and walk toward Tong Wenhai with clenched fists. “You shut up!” She said, staring at him.

Tong Wenhai looked at her and was a little frightened by Anran’s current state. He said in a daze, ” ran, ran ran ... &Quot;

“Don’t call me that, it only makes me feel disgusted! How dare you call me by my name like this!” Anran asked through gritted teeth, clenching her fists to control her emotions.

&Quot; I, I’m your darling, ” Tong Wenhai opened his mouth, trying to explain.

“Shut up!” An ran shouted at him, almost crazily.

&Quot; ran ran ... &Quot; Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen looked at her with some worry.

Su Yicheng was also a little worried, so he stepped forward to hug Anran, but she pushed him away.

Anran glared at Tong Wenhai and said through gritted teeth, ” “You’re not allowed to say it!”

Su Yicheng looked at her, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that Anran had already known something.

Anran closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes again and looked at him.”Get out! Our family doesn’t welcome you. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us. Even if Yicheng could help you, I wouldn’t let him! If you didn’t want to be investigated, you shouldn’t have done so many immoral things!”

Hearing this, Tong Wenhai looked at her and shook his head with a self-deceiving smile. He only said, ” “No, that’s because you don’t know who I am. If you knew about our relationship, you wouldn’t be like this!”

“You’re a stranger to me. You’re nothing!” An ran said firmly and turned her head away from him.

Tong Wenhai shook his head and said,”no, ran ran, in fact, your mother and I were in a relationship before. You’re Zhenzhen.”

At the same time:

“Shut up! Tong Wenhai, shut up!” Lin xiaofen called out and rushed over, wanting to cover his mouth.

“Shut up, you’re not allowed to say it out loud!” An ran also roared at him, her emotions a little out of control.

But,

&Quot; I dated your mother before. You’re my daughter. You’re my biological daughter! &Quot; Tong Wenhai spoke out as they called out. He revealed his relationship with Anran, and at the same time, he revealed the secret that Lin xiaofen and Gu Hengwen had kept to themselves for 29 years.

Then, everything quieted down. No one spoke. Anran stared at Tong Wenhai in a daze. She bit her lip so hard that it bled.

Lin xiaofen’s entire body sprawled on the ground. She didn’t have any strength at all. She sat on the ground in a daze. Behind her, Gu Hengwen hurriedly supported her and held her tightly in his arms.

Su Yicheng glared at Tong Wenhai fiercely, his eyes burning with the flames of anger!

Mrs. Zhang was a little dumbfounded. She looked at everything in a daze and couldn’t believe it.

The first to react was Tong Wenhai, who didn’t realize anything at all. He walked over to Anran with a guilty half-smile, reached out to take her hand, and confessed, ” &Quot; Ranran, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you existed. It was my fault back then. I didn’t know your mother was pregnant. When we separated, I didn’t know I had such a beautiful and smart daughter. It wasn’t until we met a few months ago that I realized I had such an excellent daughter! &Quot;

Tong Wenhai muttered to himself, his expression very moved. He looked at her and continued,”I know that you hate and blame dad. I also know that this is all my fault. I don’t blame you for hating me.” But Ranran, we’re blood relatives after all, and blood is thicker than water, right? Actually, I wanted to come and acknowledge you when I found out a few months ago, but I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accept it and that you would hate me, so I didn’t rush to tell you. I didn’t dare to tell you that I’m actually your biological father!”

After a long while, Anran finally reacted. She didn’t look at him, and her eyes were looking elsewhere. Her eyes were unfocused and a little empty.”Then why are you saying it now?”

Tong Wenhai sighed and said, ” which father wouldn’t want his daughter to call him ‘father’? which father would be able to endure for a long time knowing that the other party is his daughter, but still treat her coldly and politely like a stranger? this feeling is really unpleasant. &Quot;

&Quot; haha ... &Quot; an ran just sneered. &Quot; haha ... &Quot;

Tong Wenhai looked at her carefully and said, ” “Ranran, you’ll help dad, right? You won’t just watch dad go to jail, right?” He could only rely on her now. He had investigated a lot, and Yan Li had a good relationship with the SU family. If the SU family asked him not to investigate, then it would definitely be useful. It was impossible to call su Yicheng directly, but it was a different story if she called Anran.

An ran moved her shoulders coldly and pursed her lips, but she couldn’t say a word.

Seeing that she was silent, Tong Wenhai coaxed her, ” “An ran, call me dad, okay? Even in my dreams, I want to hear you call me dad!”

Hearing this, Lin xiaofen, who was at the side, said somewhat madly, ” Tong Wenhai, you’re not worthy, you’re not worthy at all! &Quot;

On the side, Gu Hengwen’s eyes were fixed on Anran. His hand was tightly holding Lin xiaofen’s hand, so nervous that he didn’t even dare to breathe.

Su Yicheng stepped forward and hugged Anran, only to feel that her entire body was stiff and tense.

He looked at Tong Wenhai angrily and said coldly, ” &Quot; director Tong, please leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for hiring security. &Quot;

Tong Wenhai turned his head to look at him with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He raised his voice and said, ” “Didn’t you hear me just now? I’m ran ran’s father, so I’m your father-in-law!”

Su Yicheng glanced at him coldly and firmly said, ” &Quot; I only have one father-in-law, and that is Gu Hengwen. It can only be him forever! &Quot; He felt embarrassed for this man, how could he still have the face to say this!

Upon hearing this, Anran finally came back to her senses. She stared at su Yicheng and tightly grabbed his hand.

Tong Wenhai turned his head and didn’t look at him. He looked at Anran and said, ” “Ran ran, you’re so silly.”

Anran raised her head to look at him and interrupted him. She only said, ” “I only have one father, and that’s Gu Hengwen!” Every word and sentence was said clearly.

&Quot; he’s not your father. I am. You and I are the biological father and daughter! &Quot; Tong Wenhai said, as if he was in a hurry to explain, ” how about this, let’s go to the hospital. Let’s go to the hospital to do a DNA test. This way, you’ll know that you and I are father and daughter, and that Gu Hengwen is an outsider! &Quot; Tong Wenhai knew that if he didn’t hold on tightly to Anran, this last life-saving straw, then his 30 years of hard work, the status and wealth he had obtained by giving up so many things back then, would really be for naught. Then, wouldn’t his 30 years of hard work all be in vain?!

“I don’t need to!” Anran refused, and her tone was firm. She questioned him and said, ” “So what if you are related to me by blood? What have you done for me? Where were you when my dad carried me to the hospital with a 39-degree fever? Where were you when he accompanied me to teach me word by word? Where were you when I fell and he held me to comfort me? When he finally finished the student exam after a few sleepless nights, he gave up his rest to talk to me all night because he knew that my work was not going well. Where were you then? What were you doing when he was doing all this for me? why should I acknowledge you as my father just because you’re related to me by blood? you’re so unfamiliar to me that I can’t let a stranger be my father?”

“I, at that time, I didn’t know, I didn’t know you existed!” Tong Wenhai explained, ” if I had known about this earlier, I would definitely have been stunned. &Quot;

“What can you do?” Anran sneered, ” you know that I’m your daughter, but you only come to blame me for ruining Tong Xiaojie and Mo Fei’s marriage. Because Tong Xiaojie and Mo Fei quarreled, you come to blame me for not having any manners. Other than blaming me, what have you done for me? ”

&Quot; I ... &Quot; in response to her question, Tong Wenhai was at a loss for words!

Anran looked at him and said with determination. “He doted on me, loved me, and tolerated everything about me since I was young. When I didn’t do well, he would criticize me and ask me to change and grow up from my mistakes. When I did well, he would encourage me and ask me to work harder so that I could do better. From when I was young until now, he never made me lack fatherly love. He never distanced himself from me just because I wasn’t related to him by blood. He never rejected me or didn’t care about me. A man like this is a father. You are nothing! You’re not worthy!”

On the side, Lin xiaofen couldn’t help but cry because of Anran’s words. Gu Hengwen, who was holding her, also had red eyes. This was a secret that the two of them had kept hidden for nearly thirty years. They had always been afraid that Anran would find out, and they had always been worried about what would happen if Anran found out. Sometimes, they would even be woken up by nightmares, saying that Anran knew, and then she wouldn’t acknowledge them anymore. There were countless days where they had to worry and be afraid like this. However, it turned out that it wouldn’t be a big deal even if they said it. Yes, Anran had always been good. How could she not recognize them because of this? they were not confident, and they were too nervous, so they were worried and scared!

&Quot; Anran, look at me. I’m the one who’s connected to you by blood. Although I haven’t done anything for you, we’re still father and daughter. This is a fact that no one can change! &Quot; Tong Wenhai was making his final struggle!

Anran shook her head and looked at him with a cold expression. &Quot; you’re nothing to me! If people only acknowledge blood relations and the test report, and not family ties or gratitude, that would be too sad!”
