Tears welled in his eyes as he stepped forward: “You must be my daughter, right? So beautiful, you definitely take after me. My dear daughter, Dad’s taking you home. I’ll make up for all the years you spent wandering outside.”
Jiang Nanshu was stunned.
She looked nothing like him. How could he possibly say her pretty face was inherited from him?
Then she looked at Su Ran, who was hiding to the side, and her face turned even greener.
She wasn’t sure if she was relieved that she was well hidden and hadn’t been seen by the man in front of her, or if her own father had mistaken her for someone else.
Jiang Nanshu couldn’t help but chuckle.
This chuckle only made him feel more confident.
If this beauty doesn’t turn those old geezers into idiots, he’ll lose!
Zhou Zhenghui couldn’t help but cough lightly: “Jianren, your daughter isn’t she. The woman hiding behind my nephew is your biological daughter. Her name is Su Ran. She’s over there.”
Zhou Zhenghui even kindly pointed it out to Su Jianren.
Su Jianren: “…”
What the hell!
Wasn’t his daughter the prettiest person there?
He turned his head and met Su Ran’s pitiful yet disgusted eyes.
She was pretty too, but not as stunning as the one he had his eye on.
And…
He really disliked Su Ran’s dejected appearance.
Shouldn’t she be happy to see her own father?
What was with that long face?
But thankfully, Su Ran was pretty too, which made him suppress his annoyance.
Without any embarrassment at mistaking someone, he walked familiarly up to Su Ran and said, “Are you Ran Ran? Dad has a bit of face blindness. The photo your grandma showed me the other day was what you looked like in high school. I didn’t know you would grow up like this, so I mistook you for someone else when I came in. Ran Ran, how about coming home with Dad? I’ve been looking for you for so long.”
Su Ran rejected his touch, as if she’d seen something disgusting, her face pale as she waved her hands: “Get away! Get away from me! I’m not your daughter, I’m not!”
If he really cared about finding her, he wouldn’t have only started paying attention now.
He only came to find her after he heard that she had reached marriageable age.
If he truly wanted to take responsibility for his mistakes, he would have brought her mother back to the Su family and treated her well after his first wife died, instead of leaving her, a single woman, to raise her child alone in poverty.
Waiting twenty-one years before putting on a show of fatherly affection?
Su Ran looked at him coldly, thinking: Doesn’t he even know if he’s worthy?
Su Jianren’s expression changed drastically. He disliked Su Ran, but outwardly, he feigned sadness.
“Ran Ran, Dad knows I’ve wronged you all these years. I’ll try my best to make it up to you. By the way, where is your mother buried? Come home with me, and I’ll let her be buried in the Su family cemetery as my wife. I’m so sorry for making you suffer.”
His eyes were slightly moist, a picture of sincere remorse.
“I won’t go back to Yucheng with you, so give up on that idea!”
Su Jianren hadn’t expected Su Ran to be so ungrateful. He had come to find her in person. She was just an illegitimate daughter born to a woman who had seduced him. If she weren’t still of some use, he wouldn’t have even bothered to look at her, even if she died outside.
He felt a little embarrassed being stared at by so many people.
Then, looking at the handsome man in a suit next to her, he hatched a plan. Pointing at Zhou Yanbai, he started yelling, “Is it because of him that you’re not coming home with Dad? Ran Ran, even if you want to marry him, you should marry out of our family. Otherwise, what kind of person are you now?”
“Ran Ran, Dad is doing this for your own good. If you want to marry him, come home with Dad. Without anyone backing you up, do you really think that a poor girl who marries into a wealthy family will become a real princess? He will look down on you. Come with me, and Dad will prepare a dowry for you.”
