Chapter 866 - I Found Her
Chapter 866: I Found Her
Ling Sheng, who was currently packing up, was stunned when she heard her words. She did not know what to say, but when she met her eyes, her heart skipped a beat. “Auntie Yu, what’s wrong?”
Nangong Lengyu tried her best to control her emotions. “Sheng Sheng, tell me quickly. What’s your relationship with Huo Ci?”
She needed confirmation. She needed urgent confirmation right now!
“Auntie Yu…” Ling Sheng stuttered. Upon meeting her gaze, she could not bear to lie to her again, but she did not know how to explain it for a moment.
Nangong Lengyu suddenly walked forward and grabbed her shoulder. She let out an extremely suppressed growl at her, her eyes red. “Tell me!”
Ling Sheng was shocked by her sudden change. As though she had been bewitched, her mind went blank. Without thinking, she blurted out, “My… my father!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw color drain out of the beautiful face of the person in front of her instantly. As though she had lost her soul, she turned around and ran into a room.
“Auntie Yu, what’s wrong?” Ling Sheng chased after her. “I didn’t lie to you on purpose. Don’t be angry. Auntie Yu, let me explain.”
Nangong Lengyu suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. She tried her best to smile, but her face was so pale that it was shocking. Her voice was very soft as though she was afraid of scaring her. “Sheng Sheng, I want to make a call. Lend me the bedroom.”
Ling Sheng did not know what was going on with her. She looked very strange, as though she was a taut string that would snap at any moment.
Before she could answer, the door closed with a bang and was locked from the inside.
Ling Sheng regretted it so much that she punched herself in the head. Was her brain fried? Why had she said Huo Ci was her father?! Had Auntie Yu been agitated?
Was she stupid? Auntie Yu’s daughter, Little Star, was no longer around while she, Huo Ci’s daughter, was still alive and well. How terrible must Auntie Yu feel when she found out?!
Nangong Lengyu only felt her mind go blank for a moment. She even started finding it difficult to breathe. She held her chest, which was about to explode. Her hand was trembling so violently that she dropped her phone a few times before she finally made a call.
The moment the call connected, her eyes reddened. She tried her best to calm down and ask the question she had asked countless times again. “She’s not dead, right? She’s not dead!”
When Uncle Li received the call, he was also shocked. “Eldest Miss, what are you talking about?”
“Uncle Li, don’t lie to me,” Nangong Lengyu was very calm. She was so calm that it was a little strange. She spoke again, “Little Star, Little Xingxing isn’t dead, right?”
She had already asked him this question countless times. Every time, he would tell her that Little Star was no longer around.
“Eldest Miss, did someone tell you something? Calm down. Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense. I won’t lie to you. Master won’t lie to you either.”
“I found her, Uncle Li. I found her. Her name is Ling Sheng, right? I saw your niece’s photo. How long more are you going to lie to me? Why are you guys doing this to me?!” Nangong Lengyu only felt her body turn cold, as though she was in an ice cave.
They were the people she trusted the most. They were her relatives! How could they lie to her? How could they dare lie to her?!
There was a long silence on the other end.
“Eldest Miss, I’m sorry.” Uncle Li had not expected her to get involved with Huo Ci again. Was that why she had met that child?
“Why did you two do that to me? Why?!” Nangong Lengyu collapsed to the ground, her words dripping with blood. “What right do you have to treat me like that? For what reason?”
“Eldest Miss, calm down.” Uncle Li sighed.
From her actions back then, the Old Master had been afraid that she would not be able to break off the relationship cleanly. That she and Huo Ci would still be together because of the child. In the end, she would still be the one to get injured. Thus, he had told him to send the child to an orphanage, a place she would never find her.
He had watched Eldest Miss grow up since she was young and didn’t have any children either. He had long treated her as his own biological daughter. How could he bear to casually find an orphanage and send the child there? He had secretly hidden the child from the Old Master and given her to his niece so that she could bring her back to the countryside to raise. At least she would have a place to call home and he could watch over her.
Later, when his niece had died in a car accident, he had deliberately left Huo Ci’s number behind. He was getting old and his health wasn’t good. He did not know when he would be gone, but he was afraid that he would leave one day too. How could she live alone with a child as a girl? He really could not find any other way, so he could only get her to find her biological father.
Who knew that Eldest Miss had only been back in China for two months, yet she had already gotten involved with Huo Ci again and even found her.
The moment her body fell to the ground, tears streamed down uncontrollably. Her chest felt like it was about to explode, and even her throat felt bitter and salty. She did not know how she had uttered the words. “It’s her, right? Uncle Li, it’s her, right?”
It was her. It was her. Her Little Star. She liked her so much that she had decided on her immediately when she saw her photo. Mysteriously, the heavens still cared for her.
“Eldest Miss, Master did that for your own good.” Uncle Li did not know what to say either. He had not expected her to find out so quickly.
Nangong Lengyu’s suppressed emotions suddenly erupted like a volcano. With bloodshot red eyes, her emotions gradually collapsed as she bellowed hysterically.
“For my own good, you people can snatch her away from me regardless of my wishes?”
“For my own good, you can separate us mother and daughter!”
“For my own good, you can lie to me for more than 20 years! Uncle Li, do you know how I’ve lived every day for the past 20 years? What right do you two have to treat me like this?”
“How can you use such a high-sounding excuse to hurt me openly and even glorify it to say that it’s for my own good?”
“Eldest Miss, listen to me…”
“I’m not listening. I don’t want to listen to anything. What right do you people have to do this?! What right do you have to snatch her away from me?! What right do you have to make a decision for me? And what right do you have to deprive me of my right to be a mother?!”
After saying that, she started coughing uncontrollably, each cough louder than the last.
“Eldest Miss, are you all right? Eldest Miss?” Uncle Li was anxious. She had gastric problems, so she could not be anxious or agitated. “Eldest Miss, where are you now? Is there anyone beside you? Miss!”
Nangong Lengyu grasped her chest in pain. She was so enraged that all kinds of emotions mixed together. She threw up a mouthful of blood, and the salty, bloody taste spread in her mouth. The moment her phone slipped to the ground, she leaned against the cold wall and covered her mouth as she choked out sobbes.
Her thin and weak body shook uncontrollably. She bit her lips tightly and swallowed the bloody taste in her throat.
