Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Don’t Let Her Be Sad!
She was actually not the biological daughter of Jiang Meiqi, but merely an abandoned baby that Jiang Meiqi had randomly picked up from a hospital chair?
Shock and astonishment surged like a tide, almost drowning her.
Li Shengxiao looked at her ashen face, her silent demeanor, and felt a tug at his heart. He began to speak with his thin lips slightly parted, “Jiang Meiqi once dated a senior from her department during her college years. Later, she got pregnant before marriage with Rong Weiwei and was forced to take a year off from school. After giving birth, she joined Rongjian Architecture, starting as a secretary serving tea. She quickly won the favor of then chairman Rong Jianxiong and was exceptionally promoted to be his personal secretary. She then had more opportunities to interact with the then regional manager, Rong Jianxiong’s son, Rong Nanfeng. The two of them quickly developed a romantic relationship. In order to marry into the Rong Family, she chose to abandon her then-boyfriend and daughter.”
“After becoming accidentally pregnant, she relied on the child in her womb to successfully marry into the Rong Family. However, not long after marrying Rong Nanfeng, she miscarried and couldn’t save the child. Fearing that losing the child would affect her status in the Rong Family, she kept it a secret. With the help of her mother, she managed to keep it concealed until the expected due date. Then, on that day, they were originally planning to buy a child, but by a twist of fate, they found you on a hospital chair, freshly born, and took you back to the Rong Family, naming you Rong Yan.”
Rong Yan’s hand suddenly clenched tight, her fingertips trembling to the point where she ignored the fresh pain of the stitches in her palm; her face was frighteningly pale.
The woman she had called mother for twenty years wasn’t her mother, and the relatives she believed were her own for twenty years were not her relatives.
Behind her back, these people treated her like a clown to be played with, cruelly manipulating the familial affection she had taken for granted.
And behind her back, they called her… a bastard.
Rong Yan suddenly tried to twist her mouth into a smile, but she couldn’t manage to laugh.
Twenty years of familial affection cold as water, and in the end, those waters proved to be mere vapor, shattering at a touch.
“Afterwards, because of your existence, she secured her position as Mrs. Rong and enjoyed the life of a lady of leisure. Following a mischance, the man she had been involved with before died in a car accident. Before his death, he contacted her and entrusted Rong Weiwei to her. To hide the truth and out of fear of discovery, she pulled some connections to alter Rong Weiwei’s birth date and in a stroke made her into the daughter of a friend who was younger than you, and brought her back to the Rong Family to help take care of her.”
In Capital City, it only took him a flick of his finger to investigate someone.
Jiang Meiqi had kept this secret very tightly, and to this day, Rong Nanfeng had still not noticed anything. Those involved with this secret had all been bought off by her with money. But he had still found out the truth very quickly after deciding to investigate.
It was only after he had uncovered the truth that he felt even more unwilling to tell this young woman about it.
Because the truth was too cold, and he feared she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
Li Shengxiao watched her small melon-seed face turn as pale as a sheet of paper, and he tightened his grip on her arm. His Adam’s apple tightened, and his back went ramrod straight, “Yanyan, I’ve told you. No matter what happens, you still have me, and you have Li Duidui! You’re not alone!”
No matter whether the so-called blood relatives were fake, he and the little one were real.
He didn’t want her to be hurt by the people of the Rong Family, whether physically or emotionally!
He pulled her firmly into his embrace, imprisoning her tightly against his chest, “You’re not allowed to be sad!”
If she was sad, he would lose control over the violence in his heart and want to crush the people of the Rong Family to death!
