im expectantly.Lu Hanchuan's thin lips moved slightly, but he didn't answer. He turned his gaze to Fu's mother, who was stunned, "Aunt, I also heard what you just said. I must make it clear to you tha...Fu Xiaoyao looked at Qi Dongming's sudden change of attitude and felt a little strange, a hint of caution rising in her heart.

She stared at him without moving, not answering his words. She seemed unusually calm.

But Qi Dongming was getting anxious. Seeing her silence, he became agitated, "What do you mean Don't you want to acknowledge me"

Fu Xiaoyao still didn't respond, only lowering her eyelids to hide the turmoil in her eyes.

She had never thought about acknowledging Qi Dongming as her father, but on the other hand, she did have a sliver of expectation towards him.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never enjoyed the care from her parents, so deep down in her heart, there was always a regret. After knowing that Qi Dongming was her biological father, she wondered if Qi Dongming, who loved his daughter Qi Ya so much, would treat her as well if he knew her identity

Will you regret ever saving Qi Ya by letting someone abort her child and taking out her bone marrow

But now she understood, she had overthought everything. Qi Dongming had known her identity all along, yet he had never taken the initiative to contact her. When he saw her, he didn't show any desire to recognize her. Even though he knew she was also his daughter, he said there was only Qi Ya as his daughter.

All of this is enough to prove that Qi Dongming didn't care about her at all, he didn't care for her, so how could he regret what he had done to his daughter!

Having understood all this, Fu Xiaoyao's body trembled, a cold and sorrowful aura emanating from her. "I never said I would acknowledge you. I just wanted you to know that my mother and I are your Qi Dongming's most legitimate wife and daughter. Qi Ya and her mother are merely later replacements, a third party and an illegitimate child."

"Later, the third person who took over" Qi Dongming suddenly sneered, taking back that pretense of love, "Do you really think your mother is a good woman In my opinion, your mother is the third party!"

"What" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback by his words, her mouth agape for a moment before she found her voice. "You're saying my mother is one of these three"

How is this possible!

"Humph!" Qi Dongming let out a cold hum, "The outside world only knows that I'm married to your mother, but they don't know that before I met your mother, I was already with Xiao Ya's mother. That's why I said your mother is the third party."

"This is impossible!" Fu Xiaoyao retorted, clutching her hands tightly.

She didn't believe it was true.

Her biological mother was definitely not a third party.

"Qi Ya's mother was a student sponsored by my mother. My mother was married to you when she was still in university, you... Could it be..."

"Not bad!" Qi Dongming interrupted her, secretly pleased as he raised his chin. "My wife's mother and I are from the same village. She followed me around since she was little. Even when I took the college entrance exam to go to C City University, I was with her then. It's just that later, I wanted to start a business and needed a lot of money, and your mother appeared at that time, so I broke up with Xiao Ya's mother."

"I see!" Fu Xiaoyao almost understood. Looking at Qi Dongming's eyes, she felt extremely disgusted and contemptuous.

Turns out he's a Phoenix man!

"Because my mom has money, you broke up with Qi Ya and her mother, then pursued my mom, all to use my mom's money to start a business. Qi Dongming, you are so shameless!" Fu Xiaoyao glared angrily at Qi Dongming.

If it weren't for the fact that this man was her biological father, she would really like to kick him.

"Am I shameless" Qi Dongming's eyes flashed with madness. "If one doesn't act for themselves, heaven and earth will punish them. What's wrong with what I did!"

"You're still saying you're right You deceived my mother's feelings, you deceived my mother's money, and you even said that my mother was the third party! You're really something else. How could my mother be a third party She married you after you and Qi Ya's mother broke up. How could she possibly be a third party!" Fu Xiaoyao shouted, her face flushed with anger.

Qi Dongming's ears were ringing, and he shrank his neck back. "Isn't that the case Your mother has always had feelings for me, secretly watching me. After I broke up with Xiaoya's mother, she immediately confessed to me. Isn't this what she planned long ago If I hadn't broken up with Xiaoya's mother, she would definitely have become a third party and snatched me away."

At this point, a smug smile spread across his face, as if he were showing off his youthful charm.

Fu Xiaoyao was so angry at his shameless words that her anger flared even more.

Is this it Her own mother is labeled a third party by Qi Dongming, how ridiculous!

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xiaoyao held back the urge to slap him. Her voice was cold as she said, “I don’t believe my mom would do that kind of thing. You think everyone in the world is like Qi Ya’s mother Even if my mom had a crush on you back then, she didn’t do anything out of line during your relationship. As you said, my mom confessed to you only after you broke up, so she was aboveboard! But Qi Ya's mother…”

Fu Xiaoyao's lips curled into a cold sneer, "Qi Ya's mother did meet you before my mother, but so what You broke up, it's over between you two. But she didn't cut ties with you, instead, shamelessly continuing to be with you even after you married my mother. That's what makes her a third party!"

Qi Dongming was caught off guard by her rebuttal and couldn't find a response. His face flushed red with embarrassment. After a while, he unwillingly retorted, "Then I didn't initially love her either. She came courting me..."

“So I feel sorry for my mother!” Fu Xiaoyao let out a sigh of frustration, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. “Love may not have a first-come, first-served rule, but there is still propriety and morality. You and Qi Ya’s mother clearly lack such awareness, Qi Dongming. I want to ask you a few questions, hoping you will answer honestly.”

Qi Dongming frowned. "What do you want to ask"

"First question!" Fu Xiaoyao raised a finger. "You were with my mom for the money, so after that, did you ever develop feelings for her"

This question left Qi Dongming stunned. He paused for a moment, then lowered his head, leaving everyone wondering what he was thinking.

Have you ever had feelings for Ye Lan

Remembering that vivacious woman, Qi Dongming's heart beat rapidly several times. He couldn't deceive himself; he had loved Ye Lan, and now thinking of her, his insides were aflame with passion.

Ye Lan is beautiful, confident, and capable. She excels in every way compared to Xiao Ya's mother. After being with her, he inevitably develops feelings for her.

After they got married and the company started to do well, their differences began to appear. Most of the money used to start the business came from Ye Lan, so she had the largest share in the company. He once thought about having Ye Lan transfer her shares to him so he could manage the company, while she went back to take care of the family, but Ye Lan refused.

She also said that his management abilities were not as good as hers, and that she was the best person to manage the company. Even other shareholders supported her, so how could he accept this Didn't they start a business together in the first place Wasn't it because they both wanted their own company

Because of this, he began to disagree with Ye Lan and his feelings for her gradually faded. At that time, he suddenly realized that Ye Lan was not the wife of his dreams. He hoped for a gentle and submissive woman who could rely on him to survive, not a strong and superior woman who overshadowed him.

So, after making a business mistake and being reprimanded by Ye Lan, he angrily left home. While buying himself drunk at a bar, he met Jiang Lan, who was working there… an eternity before she finally started to feel her drowsiness returning.She yawned, then turned over to face away from Lu Hanchuan and fell asleep.For the next two days, Fu Xiaoyao was still thinking...
