“Rou Rou…” Gu Xinheng knelt in front of Xinluo with his back straight.
His expression was heavy and sad, and he said to Xinluo sincerely in a low and hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, it's Dad who is sorry for you."
It has to be said that Gu Xinheng is much braver and stronger than Shen Wan, who only pretends to be faint and weak when encountering problems.
But it was all too late.
Such an apology is more than 20 years late.
Xinluo looked at Gu Xinheng and said coldly: "Uncle, you called the wrong person. My father is Yue Ting, not you."
"I... I know..." Gu Xinheng closed his eyes, his face showing pain.
The name Yue Ting, as a love rival, has been engraved in his heart for many years.
He once thought that he could get away with it.
But in the end, it can only be retribution.
The love rival that he always wanted to surpass and forget would one day be mentioned by his child, whom he loved like a daughter.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinheng smiled sadly.
As expected, he lost his entire life to Yue Ting.
He opened his eyes and stared at Xinluo with his firm black eyes.
"Rou Rou, no... I should call you Xinluo. I'm sorry... I never had a chance to confess to you. You're right, you were indeed replaced by someone else. Gu Rourou died at birth, and Shen Wan wanted to use magic to harm Xiaozi's child, but in the end, it was her own daughter who was lost."
Having said this, Gu Xinheng showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
"I admit that I was the one who did everything that happened back then. I knew what Shen Wan had secretly planned, so I wanted to take this opportunity to keep you here. I... I love your mother so much, and that was my only chance, and I didn't want to miss it."
"I took advantage of Shen Wan and I also took advantage of you... I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to protect you."
He exchanged the child for his own selfish reasons, but was unable to protect her.
He finally got her back, but was unable to fight against his mother's tyranny and the revenge of the Reddington family.
Gu Xinheng knelt in front of Xinluo. A man of such an old age, he just cried and confessed the wrong things he had done.
Gu Xinheng could no longer hide it.
It was not only because Xinluo himself discovered the truth, but also because he was tormented by intense guilt almost every night.
"I love your mother. I loved her the first time I saw her. We were about to get engaged, but I got drunk that night and mistook Shen Wan for Shen Zi. One letter difference, and my life has gone in the wrong direction ever since. At that time, your uncle had not yet been promoted to a military rank, and the children born to my stepmother were obviously more favored in the Shen family. For the sake of family honor, my mother forced me to marry Shen Wan, and all the mistakes started from that time..."
Gu Xinheng recounted to Xinluo what happened that year bit by bit.
For many people present, this was the first time they had heard his words.
The expressions of Mr. Shen, Jiang Yunwen, Shen Yi and others can be imagined. Even Gu Zonghan frowned deeply at this time.
No wonder…
No wonder all these years, even though my parents seemed to be living in harmony, my mother always had to stir up trouble to enhance her presence.
Gu Xinheng, who clearly had several children with Shen Wan, was the most impatient with Shen Wan.
"No, no..." Blood was still oozing from the corner of Shen Wan's mouth. After hearing Gu Xinheng's words, she struggled to stand up and wanted to explain.
Gu Xinheng turned a deaf ear and continued, "Oh, I am such a useless man. When I was young, I didn't dare to marry the woman I loved, and now I am old, I don't dare to protect the people I want to protect. Four years ago, I originally wanted to take you back to Country M, but because of what my mother said, I backed off." (To be continued)
