his message and sent over some basic information about someone named Yi Xin."Well, you're still single. You have opportunities."This time, Gu Ruandong pinched her waist hard, not giving her a chance...Shuting Lan slept soundly for an hour, her energy restored. In the study, she was having a video conference with someone, likely keeping her voice low to avoid disturbing you. 。Shu Tinglan didn't want to make a noise and disturb him, so he quietly closed the door and went downstairs. 。On the hotel's private beach, there was a party with a band playing music. Guests were holding drinks, dancing to the music, or chatting quietly; the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. 。Shu Tinglan ordered a glass of juice at an open-air drink shop not far away and sat quietly there watching. 。Actually, vacationing is all about a state of mind. As long as you're with the people you love, no matter where you are, you'll feel very happy. 。When Wen Jian sat down next to her, she only glanced at him with the corner of her eye: "What would you like to drink" It was no surprise that Wen Jian had appeared. 。She knew Wen Jian checked into this hotel for her, so she might as well give her a chance and see what she wanted to do. 。Wen Jian ordered a drink just like hers and sat beside her, looking at the lively scene in the distance and listening to the music mixed with the sound of waves. 。

"Tinglan, I sometimes envy you" 。really 。No matter how much fun Dad had playing at my house, he always had to go home and be with you when it was time. 。He never shies away from mentioning you two in front of me and Mom. In fact, his meaning is very clear. In ancient terms, you are the legitimate daughter, while I am a concubine's child. He makes the distinction very clear in his heart. 。"Wen Jian's tone was very flat, talking about the past as if it were unrelated to her, like a stranger." 。This was the first time she had spoken to Shu Tinglan about their father with such calmness. 。

Hearing her naturally calling him "Dad," Shu Tinglan only felt a sense of absurdity and strangeness. 。By now, what's the point of even mentioning my father

"When I was a child, I envied you so much, Dad. You would pick me up and drop me off from school every day, and take me to all my training classes." 。And I could only call him uncle, like a stranger. 。Do you know why I don't take piano lessons Because every time I go back for piano lessons, I can see Dad waiting for me outside after class. 。The teacher praised you for your talent, and Dad stood beside her, smiling proudly. He also joined the teacher in praising you for practicing diligently at home. 。Later, I studied very hard. The only thing I could surpass you in was academics. Every time my dad came to my house, I couldn't wait to show him my report card. He would praise me every time, but I could tell he was just going through the motions because he didn't really care about whether I did well or poorly. He always said that we, Wen Jian, didn't need to study so hard and that he would support us and your mother for life in the future. 。Shu Tinglan was brought back to the past by Wen Jian's words. Her father indeed had completely different attitudes towards them. He was very strict with her, especially academically. When she chose to study liberal arts, he even got angry with her for a long time, thinking that there were few majors available to liberal arts graduates and their job prospects were limited. 。"Don't you think Dad's words are very loving and heartwarming Actually, he doesn't see me and Mom as independent people. We're just like his pet goldfinches, raised and pampered for life, needing no personality of our own." 。Even if I only received nine years of compulsory education, he would not mind. 。Wen Jian said all from the heart. 。Before, she also thought her father was spoiling her and her mother this way. But after she grew up, especially after studying abroad, she realized that her father had never treated them as a single unit. 。

“Wenjian, if you have something to say, just say it. " 。Shutinglan interrupted Wenjian's words, "Regarding past events, everyone has different perspectives. Since the person involved has passed away, there's nothing more to say." 。。Wen Jian paused for a moment before saying:

"I just want to tell you, I envy you, and I'm jealous of you, because Dad loved you and your mother most from beginning to end..." 。Why did he take so much money, but all you got back from your home was his basic salary Because he wanted to protect you, didn't want you to be implicated. His basic salary is his cleanest money, with this money, as long as you live a normal life, it would be enough for both you and your daughter to have food and clothing. 。"Shū Tínglan was stunned, really Was that so Dad did it to protect her and Mom"

"Of course, he also wanted to maintain the most upright image in front of you." 。Once Wen Jian finished speaking, his whole being seemed to empty. He stared out at the distant ocean, his expression lost and bewildered. 。Shutinglan recalled that when her father was alive, he had always instilled in her the idea of being an honest and kind person. He also always maintained this image, which is why she and her mother trusted him so much and never doubted him. 。"Why are you telling me this" she didn't believe that Wen Jian traveled all the way to the island just to talk to her. 。Of course, it's because I don't want you to be happy. Do you know who Zhu Yu'an's father is Why did he go to Qining for work that year And why did his father commit suicide just three years after he went to Qining Shu Tinglan, are you living with the son of your father's killer 。"Don't you think fate is rather ridiculous"

"What do you mean" Shu Tinglan's face paled after hearing her words. 。"That's exactly what it means, Dad's love for you, and the reason why Dad committed suicide, he left a will, that will has been with my mom all this time, now, I think it's time to make it public." 。"A will Dad left a will" "Of course, he wouldn't just die without explaining things to you, would he He was always so responsible." 。Everything he left behind, I have already packed and sent to your mother by express delivery. She should have received it by now. 。"Wen Jian's words were cold, his expression gradually losing control and taking on a sinister look. He stared at Shu Tinglan, laughing in a bleak way: 'Don't blame me, if it weren't for you stealing Zhuo Yu'an away, we would never have crossed paths again.'" 。"Oh, and about these things, Zhu Yu is aware of everything." 。He's hiding something from you. Is it to protect you, or does he have ulterior motives You guys could discuss this. 。After leaving this big bomb, Wen Jian swaggered away. 。The beach sand was soft, she kicked off her shoes and walked barefoot into the lively party. 。Shu Tinglan's whole body was wooden. Hearing that she had sent her father's will to her mother, he hurriedly took his phone to watch the surveillance video. 。Mother's condition is now under control, but she can't be stimulated. No matter what the will says, I'm afraid something might happen. 。It's too late. In the surveillance video, Mom is holding a pile of papers and crying, curled up in a ball. 。Seeing her mother crying, she also cried. Helpless at this end of the video, she could do nothing. She hurriedly called the nurse and the doctor to prevent her mother from watching those things. Everything would be discussed when she got back. 。cked up the phone on the bedside table, found Zhao Tingxing's number and pretended to dial it.Gu Ruandong smiled and reached for her phone: "It's not a good habit to leave your phone on the bed, chang...
