Chapter 1229 - 1243: Accept Her as Your Own
"You’re going to talk to her. Who do you think you still are? An Youcai, I, Sun Xuehui, must have been blind, raising your daughter for so many years, only for that ungrateful wretch to bite back at me in the end. You’ve brought a wolf into the house."Sun Xuehui grew more distressed as she spoke, tears constantly streaming down her face.
"I brought you out of that poor mountain valley, and you swore to treat me well for life. But in the end, you let me raise the child you had with another woman. An Youcai, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? How could you do this to me?"
An Youcai clutched his abdomen, beads of sweat from his endurance tumbling down, his heart twisting in pain.
"Xuehui, Jiajia, I’m sorry. It’s my fault, my wrongdoing. Don’t worry, I will stand up for you in this matter. Even if she doesn’t recognize me, she still has my blood in her veins. No matter how dissatisfied she is with me, at worst I’ll give her my life, but I won’t let her trouble you again. I will repay the debts I owe."
Hearing An Youcai’s words, Sun Xuehui ceased crying, "Youcai, how could I let you die? Actually, it’s the sins of that era that are to blame; no one can really be blamed for this. Ran resents you in her heart because she didn’t experience that era. I believe if you explain things clearly, she will forgive you."
An Youcai chuckled bitterly. Hadn’t he tried explaining before? But An Ran simply didn’t understand him.
"Youcai, after all, Ran is your biological daughter. You shouldn’t have hidden the truth from me when you brought her home. We’ve lived together for so many years. Don’t you know my character by now? If I’d known she was your biological daughter, forget 20 million, even 200 million, I wouldn’t have let her leave the An Family. She wouldn’t bear such grudges against us."
"Xuehui," An Youcai, touched, held Sun Xuehui’s hand, "I’m the one who wronged you both."
"Sigh, let’s not talk about the past. We need to look ahead now and see what we can do to make it up to that girl. Why don’t you go find her and acknowledge her? She does have An’s blood in her, after all. It’s not acceptable for her to be left outside. Bring her back, and let’s treat her well as a family. Even if she’s married, she should still have her roots in her maternal home."
An Youcai’s body froze as he looked at Sun Xuehui with complex eyes.
"What? You don’t want to?" Sun Xuehui asked.
An Sijia also looked expectantly at An Youcai.
"It’s not that I don’t want to, but An Ran has already been acknowledged by the Shen Family. If the Shen Family learns the truth, I’m worried... worried it might be bad for our family."
Back then, he abandoned the pregnant Shen Jie, leading to her dying in childbirth. How could the Shen Family forgive him so easily? This was why he hadn’t dared to reveal An Ran’s identity for so many years.
Sun Xuehui had thought about these consequences, but she remained unconcerned, "What are you afraid of? An Ran is your biological daughter, and after living with you for so many years, would she really stand by while the Shen Family comes after you? In my opinion, acknowledging this daughter will give you an additional shield. If you don’t and the Shen Family finds out on their own, it will truly push our family to the edge."
An Youcai hesitated as he stood up. It’s not that he didn’t want to acknowledge An Ran, but An Ran simply would not acknowledge him.
"Let me think it over, let me really think it over. Don’t worry, I won’t let Jiajia suffer any grievances."
Saying this, An Youcai walked towards the study, his hunched figure seemingly aging ten years in an instant.
