Ji Guoqiang turned around and said directly to her, "I have something to tell you! Your Aunt He and I are planning to live together! However, we are quite old now, so we’re planning to just have a small family meal! You can bring your husband and that child over at that time!" This text is hosted at novelꞁire.net
Hearing this, Ji Niandong was somewhat surprised. It seems he has accepted the fact that she married Little Uncle and also accepted Nian Nian!
Ji Niandong nodded, "I’ve been busy with filming lately, when do you plan to do it?"
Ji Guoqiang looked at her, "If you’re busy with filming, then just pick a day when you’re free, and we’ll do it then! Your Aunt He insists I need your approval to bring her in, but for me to live my life, do I need your approval?"
Ji Niandong heard the meaning in his words, "Dad, I’m sorry!"
"Now that you’re married, just live your life well!" Ji Guoqiang finished speaking and was about to walk out.
Ji Niandong blocked the doorway and asked, "Dad, I have something else to ask you!"
"What is it? Can’t we talk outside?" Ji Guoqiang glanced at her and then shifted his gaze away.
"Today I met my previous agent at Banana Entertainment, Judy. She told me that five years ago, before my car accident, I stayed in a hotel for several days to avoid you!"
She scrutinized Ji Guoqiang, and sure enough, his expression changed, he raised his eyes and stared at her intently.
Ji Niandong continued, "So it’s true, then! Why was I avoiding you? You should know that very well, right? So why did I have a car accident five years ago, and why can’t I remember why it happened?"
Ji Guoqiang’s face turned pale, his head hung low with a hint of panic, his trembling hands clenching tightly into fists, it took him a long time to reply, "Why you avoided me, you don’t know yourself?"
"I originally couldn’t remember, but now I remember very clearly! She’s in Paris, right?" Ji Niandong looked up and asked.
Ji Guoqiang avoided her gaze, "I don’t know! I never knew where she went! To go to Paris looking for her, that’s only because you firmly believed she was in Paris!"
"I didn’t mention who she was, how do you know?" Ji Niandong coldly chuckled a few times, and as she laughed, tears nearly fell, "Why do I think she’s in Paris? Then why did I have the car accident?"
"Haven’t I told you, you had a car accident on the way home! Due to the severity of your injuries, you forgot about the accident!" Ji Guoqiang held his face firm.
"If I was avoiding you to go find her in Paris, then why would I be coming home?"
Calm and clear-headed, Ji Guoqiang realized at this moment that his daughter was never gentle and meek nor muddled, she truly is his daughter, just like them!
"Because something happened at home, so when you rushed back, you had a car accident on the way!" Ji Guoqiang couldn’t help but shout.
"Then why did you all lie to me saying I had a drunken car accident?" Ji Niandong’s voice was still unusually calm.
"Otherwise what? Tell you that you were actually going to Paris to find that woman? Tongtong, wake up, if she still wanted you, why did she disappear completely?!"
Ji Niandong’s face turned ghastly white.
Ji Guoqiang paused, "I was just afraid you’d be sad, that’s why I’ve kept it from you. When you were little, she was good to you, all because I forced her!"
It was all his doing?!
Ji Niandong leaned against the door, recalling the gentle and kind face from her childhood, teaching her piano, teaching her chess, teaching her painting... saying that when she learned well, she would come see her!
She studied very earnestly, but she just never came, thinking it was because she hadn’t learned well enough!
It turns out from the beginning she never wanted to see her?!
Even after searching all these years, even as much as she didn’t want to believe it!
She was, indeed, abandoned!
