"What's wrong? Why are you sweating so much all of a sudden?"
It was Rong Zhen's concerned voice.
Meng Qingqing forced a smile: "I... Dad, I'm really afraid that they will cause trouble for me. Can you..." She avoided looking at Rong Zhen: "Can you please not let them come over..."
"Don't worry, they won't do anything to you as long as I'm here. What's more..." His eyes darkened: "Some things have to be resolved. We can't let them keep pestering you with their names."
Only then did Meng Qingqing realize that Rong Zhen actually said he would help her ask the Meng family for help. She was surprised and happy at the same time.
But then her heart sank again.
The Meng family is not easy to get along with. If they say something they shouldn't...
She clenched her hands, and her expression became more stern.
Meng Yupu walked in slowly with Jiang Hongmin. When Jiang Hongmin saw the girl sitting on the sofa, she instantly became excited and her eyes turned red.
She called out: "Qingqing..."
In response to her, Meng Qingqing turned her head coldly, and her gaze was equally cold and unfamiliar, as if she was looking at an insignificant person.
Jiang Hongmin felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife.
During this time, she thought of many situations, such as Meng Qingqing was threatened by Rong Zhen and therefore did not dare to go home. She tried her best to forget what happened at the banquet, but Meng Qingqing's cold attitude made her recall everything that happened before.
Meng Qingqing may have volunteered.
She came to this conclusion.
Meng Yupu retracted his gaze and observed more carefully. Meng Qingqing's attitude explained everything. She didn't want to come back at all, so she had refused to answer his calls before. She was not threatened from the beginning to the end.
He felt mixed emotions and couldn't tell whether he was sad or disappointed.
Rong Zhen looked relaxed, and when he saw the couple's disappointed expressions, he raised the corners of his lips.
He stood up and walked forward, saying in a teasing tone, "What brings you two here? Let me see, why are you all so sad?"
Jiang Hongmin looked at him steadily and said firmly: "I'm here to pick up my daughter."
"Your daughter?" Rong Zhen laughed out loud.
His eyes turned cold, and his smile slowly faded: "You are so shameless, don't you know what you have done? You still have the nerve to say that she is your daughter?"
Jiang Hongmin gritted her teeth: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
"How did she get lost when she was a child? It's because you didn't care about her. Because of your hatred for me, you also don't like Qingqing." Rong Zhen said solemnly: "If you don't want to raise your daughter, just send her to me. Why did you let her suffer for more than ten years?!"
"Or..." He laughed coldly: "Is this all deliberate revenge?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Jiang Hongmin exhaled a few times and pointed at Rong Zhen with trembling fingers: "... That's my daughter!"
There were tears in her eyes: "I never thought of losing her. I felt so guilty after Qingqing was lost!"
"After raising her for a few years, she will be your daughter?"
Jiang Hongmin covered her head, as if she was hysterical, and kept emphasizing: "I didn't want to lose her, I didn't want to lose her..."
Meng Yupu held her in his arms and kept comforting her: "I know, we all know..."
He suddenly felt a little confused. He didn't expect Rong Zhen to have such an attitude. Thinking back to what Rong Zhen said before about doing a paternity test, a ridiculous guess suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be that Rong Zhen really thinks Meng Qingqing is his own daughter
Meng Qingqing was still sitting in her seat, watching the scene in front of her with coldness and numbness.
She just felt that Jiang Hongmin and the other person were hypocritical. They clearly didn't care about her before and treated her as an insignificant existence, but now they were crying and making a fuss here, making her feel uneasy.
They didn't care about me at all, so why did they come to me? Was it just to cause trouble for me? Did they not want me to live a comfortable life
They were so nice to Meng Yao...
It is undeniable that Meng Qingqing had a lot of anger accumulated in her chest.
Rong Zhen pressed his glasses, hiding his sharp peach blossom eyes behind them. He had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't show it: "Tell me, what do you want me to do to make you give up and stop pestering me? It's really meaningless to toss and turn for so long. How about this, you are so persistent in thinking that I forced Qingqing, then now you can ask Qingqing, ask her if she wants to go back with you?"
Rong Zhen smiled, but with a bit of evil in his eyes: "If Qingqing agrees, I will let you take her back."
Jiang Hongmin immediately cast her hopeful eyes on Meng Qingqing. Until this moment, she still held on to some illusory hope: "Qingqing, mommy will take you home, and no one will hurt you."
Meng Qingqing suppressed the disgust in her heart and said coldly: "I won't go back with you, this is my home."
She slowly stood up and walked to Rong Zhen's side, as if emphasizing something: "This is my father, and you... you have raised me for a long time, I will definitely thank you, I just hope that the quarrel between us will not be too ugly."
She paused: "Just like now, isn't it good?"
Jiang Hongmin broke away from Meng Yupu beside her, walked over and grabbed Meng Qingqing, her face full of disbelief: "How can you say he is your father? Did Rong Zhen threaten you? Did he threaten you?!"
Meng Qingqing couldn't dodge in time. She didn't expect Jiang Hongmin's speed to be so fast. Seeing that she didn't seem to be calm and a look of madness appeared on her face, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Rong Zhen pushed Jiang Hongmin with a cold face and said, "Why are you acting crazy here? Who are you acting for?"
"She is my daughter..." Jiang Hongmin just repeated this sentence.
"Your daughter?" Rong Zhen sneered, "How many times do I have to tell you that I've done a paternity test? What are you making a fuss about?"
"Don't let me hear you say these disgusting things again. Qingqing has nothing to do with you. Her last name is not Meng, but the same as mine! Be smart and stop bothering her, or don't blame me for bringing up old scores with you!"
"As long as I'm here, no one can touch her."
Jiang Hongmin keenly caught some words: "Paternity test? Is the paternity test you mentioned last time true? Did you really do a paternity test?"
Rong Zhen sneered: "I don't have the heart to play house with you guys."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongmin suddenly yelled: "Impossible!!"
"How is that impossible?" Rong Zhen felt more and more that Jiang Hongmin's mental state was problematic: "I think you must be sick to come here to act crazy. Now that you two have had enough trouble, it's time for you two to leave, right? Don't force me to send you off in person."
"This is impossible..." Jiang Hongmin thought, and the next second her sharp eyes suddenly swept towards Meng Qingqing.
