Chapter 660 (1/2)
“Why did you come to the Ji home? Who allowed you to step through the Ji family’s door?” Ji Hongwen’s voice was cold: “Scram!”
Ji Nuan never expected to see such a scene. Her gaze was fixed on Mr. Xiao when she heard her father speak. She abruptly turned to Ji Hongwen: “Dad…”
“Since you’ve already guessed your relationship with the Xiao family, why do you keep avoiding us? You met with trouble, yet you won’t ask for my help. Right now, the Ji family is in a state of chaos; his daughter has made repeated attempts to scheme against you. Why are you still standing here?” When Mr. Xiao heard Ji Nuan call Ji Hongwen ‘Dad,’ his expression turned heavy. “Nuan Nuan, I already understand your circumstance. Return to the Xiao family with me. In the future, this Ji Mengran won’t be able to do anything against you!”
Hearing these words, Ji Mengran stared at Ji Nuan in disbelief: “What Xiao family…”
Ji Nuan did not speak. Her gaze remained fixed on Ji Hongwen, whose complexion was pale. She did not spare Mr. Xiao an extra glance.
Mr. Xiao glanced at Ji Mengran, who was on the ground, with cold eyes. “It’s simple. Earlier, the so-called ‘rubbish dump’ you spoke of was the Xiao family. I am Ji Nuan’s birth father. Even without your Ji family, there is no way she would suffer from the lack of food or clothes like you claimed. If Qing Lin’s temper had been softer, and if she had been willing to tell me about her pregnancy, things would have never escalated to such a state. In fact, you would never have existed in this world, because she would never have married Ji Hongwen!”
Ji Hongwen abruptly reached up and gripped his chest, swaying a little. Ji Nuan was frightened. She rushed forward to support him: “Dad!”
Ji Mengran completely did not notice Ji Hongwen’s state. When she learnt that Ji Nuan was actually the Ling Xiao Group’s Chairman’s daughter, she stiffened on the spot as though she had been struck by lightning.
“No, there’s no way… there’s no way… how could she be your daughter? She’s an illegitimate daughter with no background to speak of… I’m sure of this. My mom was raped back then! Ji Nuan is the daughter of a rapist! She can’t be your daughter!”
Mr. Xiao’s expression instantly turned ugly. He glanced at Ji Mengran coldly before turning toward Ji Nuan, who remained standing by Ji Hongwen’s side.
“Raped? Was this how you described me?” Mr. Xiao knitted his brows coldly. “Ji Hongwen, I haven’t even settled the issue of you stealing my wife away behind my back. You actually dared to fill the children’s minds with these lies?”
“Isn’t it true?” Ji Hongwen pushed aside Ji Nuan’s supporting arm and took a heavy breath with some difficulty: “You went back on your words, leaving her alone in America and marrying the fiance you had in the country. By the time you remembered her, your son was already born. She waited for you for an entire year in America, and what did she receive in the end?”
