“No.” Rong Xuan suddenly spoke. Su Qianci stopped but did not look back.
“If I can only choose one of the two, I will choose you.” Her voice was calm and with guilt. “Rong Anna is a tool that I deliberately used to retaliate against Rong Haiyue, but for you… you should know Su Han?”
Su Han, Su Qianci’s mother in name. Of course she knew.
“When Su Han was trafficked to Shiwan Mountains, I saved her. She was married to an old man in his 70s and gave birth to a daughter. Not long after she gave birth, she stopped our bus in the wild when we were going to the station.” Rong Xuan walked slowly and came to look at Su Qianci. “At that time, I was part of the Capital Art Troupe teaching at the Shiwan Mountains. I was pregnant for more than nine months. I was going to the capital the next day to give birth, but I met Su Han.” Shiwan Mountains, where the body of Rong Xuan was found in the legend. “Su Han was a very poor woman. When she met us, she asked us to take her back to Kingstown and gave me the baby. She also told me her identity and background.”
“The child is Rong Anna?”
“No, the child was picked up by her father, but Su Han was killed and thrown into the wilderness by him. At that time… I originally thought of abandoning you after you were born, but I do not have the heart to do it. That was why I turned you into Su Han’s daughter. I named you as well.” Rong Hao suddenly curled her lips and looked at Su Qianci’s face. “You do look like me, Qianci.” Su Qianci looked at her, her brows knitted, and she did not speak. “I mistakenly rescued the old captain of the Li family. The Rong family and the Li family have always had a hostile relationship going on. I thought the revenge should be thorough, so I my threatened Li Xun with my own life to ask him to marry his best grandson to my daughter. I told him that my name was Su Han, sister of Su Zhengguo in Kingstown, and my daughter’s name was Su Qianci.”
“Su Zhengguo checked the DNA and knew that I was not the daughter of his sister.”
“No one will abandon a strong support like the Li family. Su Zhengguo is not stupid. Didn’t he take you back and let you live like a princess for two years? Have you forgotten?”
Su Qianci pursed her lips and looked at Rong Xuan. Her heart felt a bit cold. This woman was scary.
There was not much expression on Rong Xuan’s face. Looking at Su Qianci, her eyes were full of pity and compassion. “I hated your father at the time, very, very much. I couldn’t wait to secretly strangle him today when he slept. But I didn’t. I simply retaliated against his daughter. I thought, I would do good with the revenge, but I still didn’t.”
Rong Xuan reached out to Su Qianci and seemed to want to touch her, but Su Qianci stepped back a little and avoided her hand.
Rong Xuan smiled with self-mockery. “I think, I was still too kind. Seeing you were not doing well, I secretly gave money to the orphanage to buy clothes, food, and toys for you. When you were seven or eight years old, you were wearing the new dress I bought for you and smiling happily in the yard of the orphanage with a small camera with a fixed projection, turning around…” Rong Xuan’s voice choked. “I really wanted to bring you back, but I couldn’t. If I took you back, Rong Haiyue would be very happy to discover it. Why should I make him happy?”
