The pleasant lunch ended on an unhappy note.
Jingxiang Pavilion.
Xiang Yimo explained the situation to Zhong Lingling in detail once more!
Even though Zhong Yaowen was a real jerk, he had been the only support and concern in Zhong Lingling's heart over the years. Even though he had hurt her time and again, she still regarded him as her only family. Of course, she also resented Zhong Yaowen's heartlessness. Being suddenly told that the jerk wasn't her father, she couldn't bring herself to blame him anymore.
At the very least, her biological parents had abandoned her, yet it was the unrelated Zhong Yaowen who had raised her.
Initially, when Zhong Yaowen sold her to the Xiang Family, it was because he was pressured by creditors. His nature was to gamble, and he could not change it; there was no other way!
This time, he had come to the Xiang Family because he had been egged on by Zhao Xiaocui.
