The old man’s weary face was filled with shock. It took him a long time to snap back to his senses. He grabbed the test results, which clearly showed the similarity in their DNA along with a resounding conclusion to confirm their blood relationship.

  It turned out to be…… It really was……Little Ai’s child! Little Ai……

  The old man remembered how Little Ai brought joy to the family when she was born forty years ago. He thought of his innocent and adorable little daughter, how he was excited to the point of tears when he heard her call her ‘daddy’ for the first time. He then remembered the disaster, the fire, and the destruction of the entire house……

  The old man’s body was shaking and so were his hands. Tears quickly rolled down his bloodshot eyes.

  He had always been a strong resolute person throughout his life. He only ever shed his tears those few times because of his daughter.

  Choking on his sobs, he muttered, “It’s really……really her. Little Ai’s child……she never died……”


  Xia Anlan’s eyes were slightly red as he said, “Yes, she didn’t die. The kid who burned to death wasn’t Little Ai after all. Science and technology weren’t as developed then as it is now, and we never thought any deeper about it. So, after that……Little Ai wandered by herself outside and was eventually taken in by an old couple in the Luo City countryside. She then married Yan Songnan, but the man was a piece of trash…… When Little Ai was pregnant, the man went into the city and got involved with a rich family’s daughter…… ”


  Xia Anlan suppressed the bitterness and pain in his heart and continued, “Dad, Little Ai is your most beloved daughter. Your daughter has suffered so much wrong out there. Little Ai never had a happy day and even…… Even her death was caused by someone else. She has been let down all her life and she’s a girl…… She’s the only child in our family. Shouldn’t we make it up to Qingsi for everything that we owe Little Ai and Qingsi for so many years?”


  That day, when he heard Xia Rushuang mention that You Xi was the only child in the family, there was a fire in his heart that could not be suppressed.

  You Xi was nothing; how could he be compared to Qingsi?

  In comparison to Qingsi, Xia Rushuang had nothing to grieve about. Whatever that the Xia family gave her was something that she could never get in her entire life. What else did she want?

  “Dad, You Xi isn’t our family’s child. He’s from the You family. He grew up with an abundance of love and material things, but Qingsi is different. Her life……was a hundred more difficult than you could ever imagine. We held up the child of an adopted woman who has no blood relation with us, but our own child has suffered so much all these years…… Don’t you think it’s a cruel joke?”


  Xia Anlan let out that stifled feeling from his chest. He initially only wanted to make it up to Qingsi.

  However, Xia Rushen mentioned You Xi and said that he was the old lady’s favorite child, making Xia Anlan feel an indescribable rage. He had no idea why, but when he thought back about it, he felt that You Xi took everything away from Qingsi.

  If all of that had not happened, Qingsi would have been the little princess in their family and received all that love from everyone.

  Xia Rushuang probably never thought of Qingsi when she put on that pompous air and made those entitled remarks.

  Grandpa Xia burst into tears. “We must……must compensate her well. We couldn’t find Little Ai when she was alive, but at least we could find Qingsi now. Your mother, your mother…… If she knew, everything will be okay…… She hasn’t seen Qingsi yet, she can’t bear to see her.”
