Chapter 487 - 485 The Secret Forgotten by Time (5)
"Mom, does Dad not want us anymore?""No way! Song Song is so cute, why would Dad not want us?"
The girl quietly took out a small mirror, which reflected a freckled little face.
Cute? But her classmates all said she wasn’t pretty and didn’t like to be friends with her!
She gave them her favorite White Rabbit candies, yet they refused to be friends.
She herself was reluctant to eat those White Rabbit candies—
"Mom, the kids at kindergarten don’t want to play with me, is it because Song Song doesn’t have a dad?"
"No, Song Song has a mom!"
"But all the other kids have dads to pick them up from school; Song Song always goes home by herself!"
"Oh, is that so? Then tomorrow Mom will come to pick up Song Song, okay?"
"No, no, Mom’s leg is hurt, she can’t pick up Song Song. Song Song can come back by herself."
"..."
She doesn’t have a dad, so she can’t be too spoiled, but she really wants a dad!
Events from her childhood keep surfacing in Song Song’s mind—
As the memories become clearer, she feels her body turning colder.
Like being submerged in icy water.
"Splash"—
Water splattered as Song Song suddenly sat up in the bathtub.
She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but her lips were sealed with tape, and she couldn’t say anything at all.
"You’re awake."
A low, chilling voice came from afar, scaring Song Song from moving towards the source of the sound—
Qiao Yanjing stood there, impeccably dressed in a suit, with a face as cold as ice. His usually neat hair was now somewhat disheveled. He approached and said, "Do you know how much I love your mother?"
"In my heart, she was always a goddess, not a mere mortal, but from heaven. As long as she asked, I was willing to give her everything, but... but she destroyed it all herself."
"She actually surrendered herself to another man! I feel disgusted even now thinking about it, utterly disgusted."
"..."
Song Song looked at the now insane man, shaking her head constantly, trying to push the tape off with her tongue, but she didn’t have the strength.
Qiao Yanjing saw the girl’s helpless and sorrowful eyes, feeling delighted, "You are their daughter, a bastard child, so I can’t let you remain in this world."
"Last time, because of Xiao Jinghuai, you escaped. This time you’re not so lucky—he won’t come to save you."
Last time?
Song Song suddenly realized that the previous attack was also orchestrated by him.
Thinking of this, her heart trembled in pain, her own biological father actually wanted her dead—
How ironic.
Everything she had fantasized before coming here didn’t exist; the only reality was being knocked out, then thrown here, awaiting imminent death.
Does he want to kill her?
Fine! After all, her life was given by him, if he wants to take it, so be it.
Qiao Yanjing saw the girl calm down, lying flat in the bathtub, slowly closing her eyes, as if not afraid in the slightest that he might kill her.
"Are you really not scared?"
"..."
No one answered, only his own echo.
"Alright, since you’re not afraid, I’ll fulfill your wish—"
Qiao Yanjing raised the sharp knife in his hand high, swiftly and accurately slashing downward, aiming directly at the girl’s heart.
But, when just one centimeter away, he couldn’t stab down.
It was as if there was an invisible force stopping him.
Afterwards, his hands kept trembling.
Why? How could this be?
Why couldn’t he do it?
Qiao Yanjing, you coward, she’s Huo Chen’s daughter, not yours, a bastard child.
Why can’t you do it? Why—
