Are you my father?

  "Hmph. The only thing I regret about what I've done is why I didn't kill you along with the others at the time." If the previous sentence had given Shui Jingyu a glimmer of hope, then this next sentence turned the light around her into darkness.

  Shui Qingyou couldn't help but sneer in her heart, what was she still expecting? This person was no longer the old man who had doted on her before, he had changed, becoming a stranger that made her feel chilled to the bone.

  "In that case, I won't have to pity you guys anymore." With that, Gong Hui, who had always been straightforward and hot-tempered, jumped up and scolded Shui Qingyu.

  "Water may flow downward, but I am still your father. Your body still carries my blood. Do you still want to commit patricide?"

  "Are you my father?" Shui Jingyu's voice was calm, but only she knew that her heart had skipped a beat when she said those words.

  "Ah!" The sudden, sharp retort from Shui Jingyu made Gong Hua's head spin, and he involuntarily took two steps back, nearly falling onto the chair behind him.

  Gong Hui is not a fool, otherwise he wouldn't have been in the general manager position for so many years without anyone shaking him off. It's just that his personality is stubborn and unyielding, and at this time, he also understands that there is no good to be found with Shui Jingyu.

  "Let Ru'er and the others go, I'll give you my life." Rubbing his temples, taking a deep breath, Gong Hui said these words.

  "Hui?!" Ling Ru'er exclaimed, she hadn't expected that at this moment, Gong Hui would be willing to sacrifice his own life just to let Shui Qingyu spare them. That heart which had already died began to beat slightly once again.

  Gong Hui didn't speak, her eyes fixed on the spot where Shui Qingyu was standing, looking at this daughter she had always disliked, only to discover that her daughter still looked a bit like herself. For a moment, her heart was filled with complex emotions.

  He resented Shui Yingyu because her existence made the one he loved suffer infamy, but it was undeniable that Shui Yingyu was not at fault, she was innocent. He knew Shui Yingyu didn't love him, yet she gave birth to a daughter for him.

  The people of the Xing family didn't say a word, and the matter of Shui Yingyu was no longer a secret among the five major families. Everyone knew something about it, and it seemed that Shui Yingyu's daughter was going to avenge her mother. They had no right to speak up.

  Gong Zhen's hand tapped on the chair, a flash of darkness flickered in his eyes, and it was gone in an instant, unnoticed by anyone.

  The water in the depths of his eyes had already turned icy cold, not a hint of the gentle breeze and light clouds from earlier remained. His hands were clenched into fists, his gaze piercing as he stared at Gong Hui, the chill emanating from him was so intense that even Shui Luo Ming didn't dare to speak.

  She was so resentful that she wanted to kill Gong Hui with a knife, but when her mother was injured, he didn't even show up, and instead stayed with Ling Ruo'er. At this time, he would actually sacrifice himself for Ling Ruo'er, it turned out that Gong Hui would also give up everything for love.

  "You can sacrifice your life for her, what about my mother?" Water Qiu said this sentence with every word seeming to be forced out with great effort, it was clear that Gong Hui's words had greatly shocked him.

  "As for Yan Yu, I am the one who wronged her, so whatever you want to do is fine with me, I won't hold any grudges. Just spare Rourou." To prove his words, Gong Hui knelt down on the ground, took out a dagger and was about to stab himself in the abdomen.

  "Don't!!" At this moment, Ling Ru'er suddenly felt a panic in her heart, and there was only one thought in her mind - she couldn't let Gong Hui die, or she would regret it for the rest of her life.
