398 The Secret About the Past 16 (2/2)

”Stop deceiving yourself. How could he have possibly survived such a massive tsunami? I can't be bothered to argue with you. Jin Qingyue, I will fight for the custody of the child. I'm her father and she belongs to the Shi family,” Shi Shaochuan said with a squint.

Pursing her lips, Jin Qingyue snapped, ”You're going to snatch the custody away from me? Forget about it. I was the one who raised the child single-handedly. She has nothing to do with you at all.”

”What do you mean nothing to do with me? Could you have given birth to her without me?” Shi Shaochuan then looked down at Jin Bao'er and said, ”I'm your Daddy. Come home with Daddy, alright?”

Jin Bao'er looked up at him, completely ignoring her mother's expression. ”Are you really my Daddy?” she asked.

”Of course I am. Don't you think you look a lot like me?”

Jin Bao'er tugged Jin Qingyue's hand and asked, ”Mommy, so is he my biological father or not? He is, isn't he?”

Jin Qingyue did not answer her.

Upon seeing her mother's reaction, Jin Bao'er immediately understood the situation. ”Mommy, I want to follow Daddy home. Can I?”

”Who allowed you to call him 'Daddy'? He's not your Daddy!” Jin Qingyue hollered angrily.

”If he's not my Daddy, who is?” Jin Bao'er asked, teary-eyed.

”Jin Qingyue, do you have the guts to carry out a DNA test to prove that I'm her father? How dare you deny my existence right in front of me? Daughter, your Mommy laid a trap to set me up and sent me to prison. I couldn't see you or take care of you because I was in prison for five years. That was all your Mommy's fault. I didn't choose to not see you on purpose.”

Staring at how he was so full of hypocrisy, Jin Qingyue wished she could tear his smug face into shreds.

”Mommy, is what he said true?” Jin Bao'er questioned her mother.

”You don't have a father like him,” Jin Qingyue answered in utter annoyance and frustration.

Shi Shaochuan then instructed the men he brought, ”Bring the child to the car.”

Jin Qingyue grabbed Jin Bao'er's hand tightly and pushed her towards the bodyguard. With a look of grief and indignation on her face, Jin Bao'er whined, ”Mommy, could I stay with you for a few days and then stay with Daddy for a few days? I want Daddy, I want Daddy!”

”No!” Jin Qingyue barked, utterly disappointed and frustrated at how the child she had raised single-handedly was behaving.

Jin Qingyue and her bodyguards managed to stall for some time. Soon, two cars arrived quickly and Ling Ciye alighted from one of them.

As soon as Jin Qingyue saw him, she immediately grabbed Jin Bao'er's hand and scurried towards him. ”Brother Ciye.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Get inside the car first.”

Jin Qingyue nodded and pulled Jin Bao'er into the car.

Ling Ciye stared at Shi Shaochuan and said, ”Why? You're still trying to pester and harass them even though you've already divorced each other for so long?”

”I just want my daughter.”

”Are you fit to be her father?” A sarcastic smile formed on Ling Ciye's face, partly because he was already in a bad mood to begin with. ”You duped Qingyue and brainwashed her into marrying you when she was still a young and insensible girl. Yet, not only did you treat her poorly, you even cheated on her time and time again. Shi Shaochuan, don't think you can lay a hand on her just because her brother isn't around now. Listen up, I'm not going to sit back and do nothing. If this happens again, I can't promise I won't do anything to you,” he warned.

He turned around to leave as soon as he finished giving Shi Shaochuan a piece of his mind.

The chauffeur drove them home while Ling Ciye sat beside Jin Qingyue and her daughter. ”Don't let Bao'er attend school for the time being,” he said to Jin Qingyue.

”Yeah, that's what I thought too. Thank you, Brother Ciye,” Jin Qingyue answered.

”What for? We grew up together. Now that your brother is nowhere to be found, it's only right that I stand up for you. I can't watch you getting bullied.”

”Mommy! I want Daddy. Did you hear me?” Jin Bao'er yelled.

”That liar, he's not your biological father!” Jin Qingyue had no choice but to placate her with a lie.

”Mommy, you're lying. Look how much I resemble him. You're lying to me. You just don't want me to see Daddy. I heard everything he said just now. He said he couldn't see me because of you. Mommy, why must you do that? Everyone else has a Daddy and a Mommy. Why can't I be like them? Why must you be like this? I want Daddy, I want Daddy!”
