"Dad!" Song Qingchun called out as she dashed unconsciously toward the iPad. Su Zhinian reached out to grab her shoulders to stop her from getting too close to Fang Rou. Glancing at Song nghwa, who was at the verge of fainting, his lips stretched as he turned around to glare at Fang Rou with murderous intent burning in his eyes.
Fang Rou shrugged indifferently. She then turned around to look at the peaceful surface of the sea. She said in an airy and slow tone, "I admit, you guys are clever and brave to co up with this plan to bait out into the open.
"But no matter how clever you are, you failed to calculate one crucial point, and that is..." The setting sun washed Fang Rou in its glow, giving the woman a mirage of vulnerability.
"Everything that I’ve planned all these years is to ruin the Song family. After the Song family is ruined, I have nothing left to do in this world."
To be precise, ruining the Song family was her goal in life.
"...Therefore, I’ve put my own life on the line to commit to this plan..." Fang Rou’s eyes glistened with subdued mirth at this point. Her chin raised upward to the sun slightly, and there was a peaceful smile on her face like she had co to terms with the end of her life. "...So no matter how clever and how brave you are, how could you possibly beat soone who has nothing to lose?"
"But why? Why do you want to do this? What has the Song family done to you that you need to ruin us?!" Song Qingchun, who was snuggled in Su Zhinian’s arms, demanded angrily.
"Why?" Fang Rou repeated that word thrice before turning around slowly to look at the iPad. Song nghwa on the screen was as confused as Song Qingchun. The elderly man’s lips were quivering uncontrollably. He also wanted to ask her why, but the shock of the situation was such that he couldn’t even utter a single word.
"Indeed, I haven’t even explained why yet..." Fang Rou straightened up to walk to the coffee table to pick up the picture that Song Qingchun had been looking at earlier. Her expression suddenly beca incredibly soft and gentle, and a small smile lit up her face. She picked up the photograph and caressed it lightly. As if talking to herself, her tone had traces of sadness and yearning in it.
"...I’m not the Fang family’s daughter. They adopted because they couldn’t have a child of their own.
"Therefore, my na is not actually Fang Rou, it’s Zhao Xiaoyan..." Fang Rou lowered her gaze and laughed slightly. "...The na is not as beautiful as Fang Rou, is it? But for , no other na could be more beautiful than Zhao Xiaoyan... because it is the na given to by my real mother. If possible, I wish to live my life with the na Zhao Xiaoyan, but..."
Fang Rou’s face suddenly changed to beco colored by hatred and resentnt. Her gaze that glared at the iPad was heavy with enmity.
"...but Song nghwa has ruined such a small wish of mine!
"None of you know how happy my family was! Even though we weren’t as wealthy as your Song family, at least my mother stayed at ho to take care of and my sister, my father went to work every day, and we would go on a family trip every weekend..."
