Chapter 1277 - 1195: Fate Is Inevitable (Part 2)
He said, "Nuannuan, Dad knows he was confused back then, shouldn’t have done such a beastly thing when your mother’s body wasn’t even cold. In the end, there is retribution from God, and now, I have received it... Nuannuan, I say I regret it, I regret it, do you believe me?"
Shi Nuan listened and felt a bit somber. Regret? But is there a remedy for regret in this world?
Mother has already gone, it’s been almost eleven years, saying regret now, isn’t it too late?
Shi Nuan said, "Dad, you’ve experienced more than I have, you understand more than I do, you should know that what you’re saying now doesn’t mean anything to me!"
Shi Yuanbo nodded: "Yes... yes, I know, I know it doesn’t mean anything, I also know that nothing I say now can make up for the mistakes I made. I’m not asking for anyone’s forgiveness, but Nuannuan, you are Dad’s daughter, and Dad’s hope for your well-being has never changed..."
Shi Nuan felt like giving a cold laugh and said, "So Dad specially emphasized that Shi Jiaojiao is my sister, just hoping I would not blame her for the sake of us being sisters?"
Shi Yuanbo’s face looked haggard, his temples had turned white again, he surely hasn’t been well these days.
Shi Nuan knew that Shi Yuanbo wasn’t a particularly bad person, he just valued his son too much and was too weak.
And what is a man’s main reason for weakness? Shi Nuan felt it was not enough love!
He didn’t love Mother enough, so he betrayed Mother and had a child with another woman.
He didn’t love Mother enough, so no matter how much Mother did for him, he couldn’t feel it.
Even if he did feel it, or perhaps that little proud shame was more important than what Mother sacrificed for him!
Shi Yuanbo looked at him, his eyes full of sorrow and grief, shaking his head: "No... Nuannuan, what Dad wants to tell you isn’t this, today Dad wants to tell you a secret, but this secret can only be known by you and me, you must not tell anyone else, including Song Yansheng, can you promise Dad this?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, but she did not agree, she only said: "If Dad is so insistent on asking me this, it means this secret is very important to Dad, I think Dad should not..."
"No..." Shi Yuanbo interrupted her, the pain in his eyes becoming deeper and heavier, he said: "This secret, others can not know, but Nuannuan, you can know, because in this world, the only person Dad can trust is really just you..."
Shi Nuan frowned, not understanding why Shi Yuanbo would say such a thing, what had he gone through to have such a mournful thought.
Shi Nuan slightly pursed her lips before speaking: "Then Dad, you say it!"
Shi Yuanbo’s gaze locked on Shi Nuan’s face, after a while, he said: "Nuannuan, I just told you, Jiaojiao is your only sister in this world, she is my own flesh and blood, sharing a blood relationship with you, do you understand what this means?"
Shi Nuan squinted, could there be some hidden meaning in this sentence?
She shook her head, indicating she did not understand.
Shi Yuanbo’s eyes dimmed, continuing in a trembling voice: "Do you know why I only talk about Jiaojiao, and don’t mention Tian Chao at all?"
Shi Nuan was stunned for a moment, then something quickly flashed through her mind.
She looked at Shi Yuanbo with some disbelief and asked, "Dad, do you mean that..."
Shi Yuanbo, somewhat defeated, and even in despair, closed his eyes: "That’s right, Tian Chao... he is not my biological son!"
...
On the way back to the project department, Shi Nuan was still a bit dazed.
Almost three months ago, Sister Chang had given her evidence of Li Guirong’s infidelity.
That evidence is still locked in her suitcase to this day.
She hadn’t taken it out, thinking it wasn’t the right time, because although Li Guirong betrayed Father.
But due to the involvement with Shi Tianchao, combined with the Shi Family and Shi’s entanglement, Father wouldn’t actually do anything to Li Guirong.
And because of Shi Tianchao’s presence, even though Li Guirong temporarily fell from favor, as long as Shi Tianchao was there, her status wouldn’t change much.
But she never expected Father to tell her: Shi Tianchao is not his biological son.
Father said, it was probably nearly two months ago, his health wasn’t good during that period, he was hospitalized.
Shi Nuan also knew about this, she and Song Yansheng had even gone to the hospital to visit him.
That day, Shi Tianchao was playing around in the hospital room and accidentally cut his hand with a fruit knife.
Li Guirong wasn’t there at the time, so Shi Yuanbo had the maid take Shi Tianchao for bandaging.
The maid came back and said, "Mr., just now when I took Young Master to bandage the wound, something strange happened!"
