Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Isn’t It Good for Her to Live a Peaceful Life?
"I am really Bai Xiao’s father, I just beg you to tell her slowly! I’m afraid if I go to her directly, she won’t be able to accept it." Bai Jingshan feared that Bai Xiao wouldn’t acknowledge him.
"Since you want to acknowledge Bai Xiao, then what has happened all these years that you never came to find her, nor Yu Shaoya? Nobody knows Bai Xiao is your child; if you don’t explain clearly, I can’t help you." An Zhiyuan’s first thought was that if Bai Xiao knew, she’d probably howl to the sky.
This is such a dramatic turn of events.
Bai Jingshan!
Bai Xiao!
What a coincidence, sharing the same surname, even saving the trouble of changing it.
The problem is that my little wife has not the slightest good impression of that biological father, and Bai Xiao is even going against the Shang Family, wasn’t it because of Shang Feng’s betrayal and revenge on Yu Shaoya back then?
An Zhiyuan really got it wrong.
Bai Xiao’s actions against the Shang Family weren’t because of Shang Feng; it was purely because of Shang Kaiwen.
Whether Shang Feng was her biological father, Bai Xiao didn’t care at all.
The concept of a biological father had already shattered in Bai Xiao’s mind.
Her biological mother had protected her, no matter what, she gave her a life, but whether she had a biological father or not, it didn’t matter anymore.
"I and Bai Xiao’s biological mother weren’t a couple," he said with bitterness, but upon seeing An Zhiyuan’s changed gaze, he hurriedly explained, "It’s not what you think. It’s hard to explain the matters between me and Yu Shaoya, after all, I only found out what Yu Shaoya looked like this time, before this, I didn’t even know her appearance or name!
Because I was drugged at the time, and happened to be with her, so it was a fluke that we had a one-night... one-night stand. Later I went to Nanyang, and all these years I really didn’t know about Bai Xiao’s existence or that Yu Shaoya had passed away.
If I hadn’t heard from Bai Xiao’s grandma that Shang Feng wasn’t Bai Xiao’s biological father, I wouldn’t have started to investigate our relationship. We might never have known until our deaths that we are father and daughter."
Speaking of this matter, Bai Jingshan’s old face was full of shame. Such a scandalous affair to talk about in front of young people! Truly embarrassing.
And this was with his son-in-law.
What dignity would he have left as a father-in-law after this?
But now, to acknowledge his daughter, he was willing to expose himself completely.
Because she is his daughter.
An Zhiyuan couldn’t digest Bai Jingshan’s words for a long time.
Although Bai Jingshan had covered and concealed things as he spoke, An Zhiyuan finally understood that Bai Jingshan and Yu Shaoya had a fling.
"Now that things have come to this! I can only go and talk to Bai Xiao. I think you should prepare yourself mentally; Bai Xiao seems easy-going, but she has strong principles. If anyone crosses her boundaries, even I would be disowned.
It’s not been easy for her all these years, through so much hardship, and then suddenly there’s a billionaire biological father; you think for yourself how Bai Xiao would react!"
An Zhiyuan knew Bai Xiao well.
Anyone who finds out, after suffering and struggling through many years, getting abused, and almost dying, then finally making a better life on her own! Now a billionaire biological father appears; if she doesn’t hate Bai Jingshan, he would find it unjust.
Where were you when I needed you to protect me! Now you want to reap the benefits?
No way!
Bai Jingshan forced a bitter smile, a heavy feeling clogged his chest, unable to release or swallow it, simply blocking him heart and soul.
After all these years, such a truth emerges suddenly, and Bai Xiao won’t accept him; what should he do?
Now, Bai Xiao is already his Achilles’ heel; if someone holds Bai Xiao against him, he would be led by the nose.
"I just want to make up to her, to compensate for all these years I owe her, I just want to love her properly."
"Yet in all these years, Bai Xiao was bullied, beaten, and scolded, you probably don’t know that during Bai Xiao’s worst time, she was pushed into the reservoir by Bai Family’s old lady. And how tall a reservoir that was! If we hadn’t been there for exercises at the time, Bai Xiao might have died. When I pulled her out of the water, she was on the verge of death, almost not breathing.
She was thin and small, not looking at all like an eighteen-year-old! More like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, and she didn’t shed a tear."
When An Zhiyuan thought about it, he really felt like a beast. Bai Xiao looked like a child! And yet he had feelings for her. It wouldn’t be accurate to say it was Bai Family’s old lady that pushed him and Bai Xiao together; rather, he was willing to see it happen.
Every word pierced Bai Jingshan’s heart like a knife, causing him immense pain, forcing him to swallow it down.
His daughter.
Bai Jingshan was filled with depression, anxiety, and heartbreak, a mess of thoughts almost drove him to collapse.
He had no one to share his confusion with, feeling that this was Heaven’s punishment for his irresponsibility, having committed so many foolish acts in his life. Now it’s cause and effect, ensuring his remaining life would be tumultuous. He, early in life, lost parents, and now he finds himself playing the "parent" role?
What wrong did he do?
No one understood better than he did the pain of growing up without a mother; how could he let his own child repeat the same old path?
Yet he still allowed his own child to walk down his old road.
"I don’t want my child to suffer any more; I must protect her."
An Zhiyuan couldn’t bear to push Bai Jingshan further; reality was cruel,
Upon receiving that faxed paternity test, from the moment he saw the result, his former calm was nowhere to be found. Bai Xiao shared a bloodline with him, in a place where he knew nothing, there was a twinkle in Bai Jingshan’s eyes.
This was his daughter, his flesh and blood daughter, and he had missed her growth, her twenty-three years...
"I’ll find a way to talk to her! But it will take time! I think she probably won’t be overjoyed to celebrate having a famous overseas Chinese father, she is my wife, and I need to protect her from harm! If possible, I would rather you not acknowledge each other.
For her, nobody knows what happened between you and her mother back then! Yu Shaoya has already passed away, and you are the only one who knows the truth, do you think Bai Xiao would believe you?"
Not to mention Bai Xiao, even An Zhiyuan couldn’t trust it; this isn’t a TV drama, nor a movie, such storylines belong in films, not in real life.
"She is living well now, and disrupting her peaceful life may not be good for her. Isn’t it better to let her live stably?"
He must protect Bai Xiao.
