The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1227 - 460: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Final)

He Tiantian’s expression was somewhat bitter, yet she still forced a smile.

She looked at He Yue lovingly, with a reminiscent look in her eyes.

As if, she was reminded of past events.

After a long while, she slowly said, "Xiao Yue, you’re not my real daughter. My wife only gave me a son, and that is Xiao Zhuo!"

Buzz!

He Yue felt as if a bomb exploded in her head; the blast left her dizzy and confused.

Her mind went blank, and her heartbeat seemingly came to a halt.

Her body trembled slightly, and it took a while before she could muster the strength to say, "How could that be? Dad, this isn’t true, right?"

Though her dad was frugal, he treated all his children equally.

So, from childhood until now, He Yue never doubted that she was her dad’s real daughter.

"You’re indeed not my biological child; your real father is named He Dazhuang."

He Tiantian’s eyes were full of compassion and love, her tone rich with nostalgia and reminiscence.

"Your dad and I were from the same hometown, and we worked on the construction site together back then."

"Come to think of it, the house we’re living in now was bought by your dad."

While He Tiantian was reminiscing about the past, she casually dropped a bombshell.

He Zhuo’s reaction was much bigger than He Yue’s.

"What? Dad, are you saying that our house isn’t yours?" But belongs to some He Dazhuang?!

If this were true, then what about his debts?

He Zhuo’s mind was in disarray, his heart was racing.

"Yeah, I was just a poor boy from a mountain village, laboring to support a wife and son; where would I have money left to buy a house!"

He Tiantian said matter-of-factly, without feeling embarrassed by her lack of capability.

"But He Dazhuang was different. Although his parents passed away early, they left him some money."

"And twenty years ago, this area was still a suburb, housing wasn’t very valuable. He Dazhuang spent more than thirty thousand to buy this courtyard."

He Zhuo & He Yue:...

They didn’t know what to say.

Though their thoughts differed, both felt deeply shaken.

He Tiantian continued her tale, mixing truth and lies—

"However, back then, He Dazhuang’s wife wanted him to buy a commercial apartment in the city or build a house back home. He Dazhuang disagreed, believing that even though this courtyard was in the suburbs, it was close to the construction site and reasonably priced, so he bought it secretly!"

"I was closest to Dazhuang, so only I knew about this."

"Later, there was an accident on the construction site. Dazhuang pushed me aside, and I survived, but he died!"

At this point, He Tiantian burst into tears, "Dazhuang sacrificed himself for me. If he hadn’t saved me but instead ran directly, he wouldn’t have been crushed by the falling slab!"

He Yue still wore a blank expression.

Logically, He Tiantian had made it clear that He Yue wasn’t "He Shoutian’s" real daughter, but her real dad was He Dazhuang.

At this moment, upon learning of He Dazhuang’s death, as his real daughter, He Yue should be grieving, saddened, maybe even resentful of "He Shoutian."

Yet, in reality, He Yue had no reaction.

It wasn’t that she was heartless, nor that she was unfilial, it was because, it was because He Yue felt no sense of reality.

It was as if she had dreamt a bizarre dream or heard someone else’s story.

Even if someone told her, the protagonist of the story was her biological father, He Yue couldn’t muster any deep feelings.

She couldn’t sympathize.

It was too unreal, too unbelievable!

"After Dazhuang died, the foreman ran away, and the various project leaders passed the buck; no one wanted to take responsibility for the accident at the construction site!"

"Your real mom was still young, only twenty, and she had been sent back to her hometown to give birth due to her pregnancy."

"When the accident happened to Dazhuang, your mom had just given birth to you two months earlier. Dazhuang’s parents were long gone, and there were no close relatives back home."

"Upon receiving the news of his death, your mom held you and rushed to the construction site, but no one cared. She didn’t even know your dad had bought a house, thinking Dazhuang left nothing for her and you."

"... She knew I was close to your dad and knew he died saving me. So she left you at my rented house and returned to her hometown alone!"

"When I called Dazhuang’s hometown for news, your mom had already remarried."

He Yue still had a look of bewilderment on her face.

What real mom, real dad, she, she really felt nothing at all.
