My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy

Chapter 427: Chapter 427 Can’t Dock Anymore
 

At this question, Wu Lijuan was stunned and took a long time to sigh deeply,

“That child, truly had a tough fate!”

“What happened?”

Wu Lijuan hemmed and hawed for a while, then suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Lin Nansheng,

“Mr. Lin, I have wronged you! Song Xianjing entrusted her child to me, asking me to hand her over to you if I ever had the chance. But I failed… I couldn’t take care of her properly, and she perished in a fire. I am so sorry!”

Lin Nansheng was utterly shocked upon hearing this.

Although he had officially recognized Jiang Jiaying on the surface, he had some doubts deep down.

Now he had directly asked Wu Lijuan, it was clear he wanted to confirm it once more.

The answer he got was unexpected.

He stood up, helped Wu Lijuan to sit down on the couch,

“Aunt of the child, please get up, don’t kneel. You’re not young anymore; why kneel? You might hurt your waist.”

As soon as Wu Lijuan mentioned the name Song Yun, she couldn’t hold back and burst into loud sobbing.

She wept heartbrokenly.

“I raised that child with my own hands. She was very beautiful, looking a lot like Xianjing when she was younger. Pretty and smart too; she grasped things with just a hint. I didn’t have a daughter, so I doted on her as if she were my own. I never would have imagined such a tragedy happening.”

“What sort of accident was it?”

Lin Nansheng inquired.

Wu Lijuan then recounted the details of the Golden Bay fire incident thoroughly.

Lin Nansheng was once again shaken to the core; afterward, he sat down despondently, let out a mournful sigh, and then there was a long silence.

For a moment, even the flow of the room seemed to freeze, and all I could perceive was the ticking of the clock.

Wu Lijuan went to the study and took out a photograph, along with several photo albums.

That photo was of me with the two kids…

“This is what Ayun left behind, sigh. I never thought she would meet with such an accident. Had I known, I would have saved more of her pictures. After digging through the house, the only photograph I could find from after her marriage is this one. However, there are still some pictures in these albums from when she was in kindergarten and from her elementary and middle school days. Take a look!”

Lin Nansheng took the albums and slowly flipped through them…

In reality, those pictures were all too familiar to me; I had looked through them countless times before.

But I never expected that they would now be in the hands of Lin Nansheng, who carefully perused them, his fingers tenderly brushing across the photos.

After a long time, he was once again overshadowed by old tears and deep sighs.

“She really does look like her mother!”

“Yes, Ayun was very beautiful; many people pursued her. She was also very intelligent, she never caused me any worry with her studies.”

“It’s such a pity… I wonder if she ever harbored any resentment towards me, her father.”

“That…”

“Sigh, I’ve troubled you for too long here. I should take my leave now. Could I possibly take one of the albums to keep as a memento?”

“You can take them all if you’d like. As for the albums we have here, to prevent losing them, I had them all backed up on my computer a few days ago. If I ever need them, I can just have my son print them out.”

Lin Nansheng stood up and shook hands with Wu Lijuan.

“Thank you very much for raising Ayun, it wasn’t easy at all. Please accept my bow!”

Lin Nansheng gave Wu Lijuan a deep bow.

With tears brimming in her eyes and a choked voice Wu Lijuan said,

“Ah, I regret not being able to hand her over to you intact. I truly feel guilty.”

Lin Nansheng patted Wu Lijuan’s arm,

“Perhaps this is all fate, and you shouldn’t blame yourself too much.”

After saying goodbye to Wu Lijuan, I walked out with Lin Nansheng.

On the way back, Lin Nansheng was silent the entire time.

Seeing him so sad, I tried to comfort him,

“Uncle Lin, don’t be too sad, sometimes… what I mean is, Ayun might appear in your life in another way.”

Lin Nansheng pressed his fingers to his brow and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up at me,

“I want to visit her grave! To pay respects to her, she’s grown up now, it’s about time she saw what her dad looks like.”

“Uh, there doesn’t seem to be a grave yet, she hasn’t been buried…”

I went over the general situation, and Lin Nansheng was slightly shocked upon hearing this, but he quickly made a decision, “I’ll arrange a funeral for her when I find the time.”

I didn’t stop him, as this was probably the only thing he could do for his daughter as an old father.

In the afternoon, as we arrived at the company’s entrance, we saw Jiang Jiaying had already been ostentatiously waiting there.

“Dad!”

Clearly, she didn’t know where I went with Lin Nansheng, and she was very suspicious that we had done something important together.

So to test the nature of our relationship, she deliberately clung to Lin Nansheng very affectionately,

“Dad, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much.”

Lin Nansheng’s face was already not looking too good, and he quietly pulled away his arm,

“I’m not in a good mood right now! You go home first.”

Today was indeed not so wonderful for Lin Nansheng; in one day, he had lost both his first love and his biological daughter.

These were two very important people in his life, so it’s normal for his mood to be at a low.

Anyone would have a short fuse in such a situation.

But Jiang Jiaying seemed to be oblivious to this, continuing to act spoiled,

“Dad, where did you take my sister? Did she say something bad about me in front of you, making you have some bad ideas about me?”

Lin Nansheng’s face was now incredibly stern, but he still didn’t lose his temper, showing great restraint and forbearance.

He slowly walked to his office.

As he sat down in his swivel chair, Jiang Jiaying was still acting spoiled,

“Dad, I want that yacht. I’ve already picked out the model; take a look. This one is a worldwide limited edition—it would be so prestigious to take it out, whether for parties with friends or for business meetings.”

Jiang Jiaying was trying to use this method to prove that Lin Nansheng’s love for her was deeper.

She had a yacht brochure in her hand, which she tried to hand over to Lin Nansheng…

Even the most patient person has their limits.

Lin Nansheng angrily threw the materials onto the floor, then burst out,

“Where did you get that DNA test from?”

Jiang Jiaying was shocked by Lin Nansheng’s sudden outburst, and after a long while, she realized something was wrong and turned to look at me, “Song Xiaoyun, did you say something to my dad again?”

I spread my hands, “You know what you’ve done today!”

“What bad things have I done? If it wasn’t for you deliberately smearing me, deliberately driving a wedge between my dad and me, why would he suddenly act like this?”

Lin Nansheng finally couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up,

“Enough! Don’t blame others; you are not my daughter at all. I haven’t exposed you publicly out of respect for an old friend. If you keep troubling Xiaoyun, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“Dad… listen to my explanation, it was…”

Jiang Jiaying finally realized the severity of the problem, and she still wanted to defend herself.

Lin Nansheng no longer gave her the opportunity.

He slammed the desk forcefully, his eyes rimmed with red as he shouted,

“Enough, can you stop treating everyone like a fool? I’ve already been to the Song Family today. Song Xianjing only had one daughter, that’s Song Yun, and she has passed away!”
