“I’ve only had Xiao Ting as my girlfriend all along…” Pei Jiale was at a loss for words, “Really, I can swear.”
“Could my daughter have a terminal illness and doesn’t want to burden you?” Ms. Qiu frowned, “Tell me the whole story, young man!”
“Actually, Xiao Ting can’t get over her ex-boyfriend, so…”
“Impossible.” She waved her hand to interrupt him. “My daughter is not the type to linger. In this, she’s most like me.”
“With Xiao Tong around, it might be difficult to completely cut ties.”
He had previously refused to believe the newspaper rumors, but when Yu Ting personally confirmed it and told him that Xiao Tong’s father was his older brother… his entire strong will was instantly destroyed.
“What did you say?” Ms. Qiu didn’t understand.
“Aunt,” Pei Jiale sighed slightly, “At this point, please stop covering for her.”
“What am I covering up?”
“I heard you paid for Xiao Ting to have that kind of surgery…”
“What surgery?” Ms. Qiu was confused.
“The surgery that can make a woman become a girl again.”
“You mean…” Ms. Qiu suddenly realized, immediately becoming furious, grabbing his collar, “You bastard, how can you slander my daughter like this? If you can’t pay the bill, don’t say such things, as if our family is selling dog meat under a sheep’s head!”
“This is what Xiao Ting told me personally, and I don’t want it to be true…” He didn’t resist, his body like a huge empty hole, having long lost its vitality.
“She told you personally?” Ms. Qiu was also puzzled, “Could my daughter be hiding something from me? Did she mention who her previous boyfriend was?”
“Xiao Tong’s father.”
“Xiao Tong’s father?” She screamed in shock.
“Aunt, isn’t Xiao Tong Yu Ting’s daughter?” Pei Jiale smiled bitterly, “How long are you going to help her keep this secret?”
“Xiao Tong is Yu Ting’s daughter?” Ms. Qiu was completely frozen, “Who… who said so?”
“Yu Ting told me personally, it can’t be fake, right?”
Ms. Qiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly roared, “This dead girl! What game is she playing?!”
“Aunt, actually, now that things are exposed, it might not be a bad thing…” At least, she could rightfully reclaim her daughter and be with the child’s father openly…
