Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute Chapter 1126: 1126: Is Xingxing Really the Daughter You Had

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: Is Xingxing Really the Daughter You Had with Her?

“How exactly do you plan to ‘lay low’?” Old Master He couldn’t help but ask.

Tang Ling daring to show up amidst such a storm, Old Master He, being an astute man, naturally had a good eye for people. He knew Tang Ling must have had ulterior motives.

“I plan to stay with so relatives for a few months to clear my head,” Tang Ling explained.

“Then just go directly, what does it have to do with our He Family?” Fu Hua said, feeling puzzled. “You work at Xiaonan’s company, and no one wants sothing like this to happen. You’re a victim too. Rest assured, whatever compensation is due to you, we won’t shortchange you.”

Fu Hua’s aning was clear: she would not withhold any compensation owed to Tang Ling, but on the flip side, Tang Ling should not expect anything beyond what was due.

As a daughter-in-law, she only recognized Shen Mianmian.

“Aunt Fu, are you worried I’ll cling to He Nan?” Tang Ling smiled lightly before continuing, “Rest assured! He and I both clearly understand the nature of our relationship. He has taken care of enough over the years, I am content, and I won’t pester him.”

After saying this, Tang Ling turned to look at He Nan, pursing her lips and speaking, “I don’t want to disturb you, but Xingxing has always been very dependant on you, as you know. These past few days, she’s been constantly asking why you haven’t visited her. Xingxing grew up on the island and hasn’t interacted with many people. Now that I’m going to my relatives’, it’s like seeking refuge with them, and I really can’t bear to let her suffer with . Moreover, with my current ntal state, it’s not suitable for to take care of her. He Nan, could you possibly help look after her for a while?”

Old Master He and Fu Hua instantly changed their expressions, both turning to look at He Nan together.

Tang Ling’s daughter was to be entrusted to He Nan’s care, and the two had lived together on the island for five years. Rumors were also circulating outside that Tang Ling and He Nan had a daughter together.

Could it be… Xingxing really was He Nan’s child?

The thought alone turned their faces particularly grim.

But He Nan asked, with an indifferent tone, “And if I refuse?”

“If you refuse, I’ll have no choice but to send Xingxing to an orphanage,” Tang Ling closed her eyes as she spoke, “I know you’ll think I’m heartless, that I don’t deserve to be a mother, but I truly have no way to take care of Xingxing alone. If it weren’t for you back then, I might have preferred death over letting Xingxing be born.”

Upon hearing these words, He Nan’s face turned abruptly cold.

Fu Hua said sternly, “Xiaonan, what exactly is going on? Is Xingxing really your daughter with her?”

Before He Nan could answer, Tang Ling preempted, “Aunt Fu, please don’t bla He Nan, and don’t press him anymore. Xingxing is my daughter, and she has nothing to do with He Nan. The reason I’m asking for his help is that Xingxing is quite reliant on him. Over the years, with my ntal state not being very stable, I simply couldn’t take care of Xingxing alone. I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her with soone else, so that’s why I want He Nan to take her.”

Her words and tone suggested that Xingxing wasn’t He Nan’s daughter, but her deanor seed as though she was covering sothing up for He Nan, causing Old Master He to keep a stern face without making a sound.

“I disagree,” Fu Hua protested outright. “All these years, Xiaonan hasn’t even spent ti with Xiaobei. How would he have the capacity to take care of your daughter now? Since Xingxing isn’t Xiaonan’s child, let her biological father take care of her and put an end to the rumors!”

Tang Ling fell silent for a mont, then said, “Xingxing’s biological father is no longer alive.”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Old Master He’s face looked even more displeased.
