Xiao Yuqian turned and saw that the door to her fatherâs room wasnât fully closed. Even though Xiao Yuqian wasnât the type of person who liked to spy on others, she couldnât control herself.
âHow long are we supposed to keep this a secret?â Xiao Lanâs voice came from inside the room. âCan we never be together?â
âOf course we can,â Xiao Guohua said. âThis house is now yours. It has been yours for quite some time. We just have to wait until Qianqian gets married, and youâll be the master of this house.â
It was Xiao Lanâs first time hearing that the house was already under her name.
âYou are really nice to Xinxin and me! Thank you!â Xiao Lan exclaimed as he hugged Xiao Guohua.
âOf course. Xinxin is our daughter. Thereâs no way I wouldnât be nice to both of you, right?â
...
It was as if a streak of lightning had struck Xiao Yuqian. She was in awe.
What did I just hear? Xiao Lan is my aunt... Sheâs dadâs sister... They...
Xiao Yuqian could not believe his father and aunt would actually commit incest and even have a daughter together.
She then recalled when her mother left Xiao Guohua. Tang Qingyuan would always cry in secret before leaving the Xiao family.
Xiao Yuqian finally learned that her mother left because sheâd learned about the truth.
Xiao Yuqian had been blaming her mother for the wrong reason.
The person that she should hate was her father.
And her aunt.
Xiao Yuqian kicked the door open, and the man and woman who were hugging together quickly separated.
âQian... Qianqian?â
Xiao Guohuaâs voice was trembling. Heâd never expected his daughter to return since she had been staying at Ma Haodongâs mansion for quite some time. And since Xiao Yuche was at school and Xiao Yuxin was at the studio, Xiao Guohua was sure that no one would return.
Shocked by Xiao Yuqianâs sudden appearance, Xiao Lan fell from the bed and hit the floor as she yelled in pain.
Xiao Yuqian stared at the two older people and scolded them. âIt was all just an act, wasnât it? The peaceful family that we were! You two are disgusting!â
The heroic image that Xiao Yuqian always looked up to was broken instantly.
âQianqian! Let me explain!â Xiao Guohua tried to explain.
Tears fogged up Xiao Yuqianâs sight as she continued to scold. âYouâre not my father anymore! You donât even have the right to be a father! Thatâs why mom left you! She was completely disappointed in you!â
âPlease, listen to me! Your aunt and I arenât really related by blood. We...â
âYou donât have to explain it!â Xiao Yuqian roared and turned to Xiao Lan. âSo what if you two arenât blood related? Does that mean you can seduce another personâs husband? You even have a daughter with him. Do you know no shame?â
Xiao Yuqian was sure that Xiao Guohua and Xiao Lan had been doing it behind everyoneâs back for quite a long time, before Xiao Guohua and Tang Qingyuan got married.
Tang Qingyuan mustâve found out about it and decided to leave the Xiao family.
Xiao Yuqian was bitterly disappointed in the so-called father figure.
âXiao Guohua! From now on, youâre not my father anymore! Iâm not coming back to this house!â
