"Rourou..." Gu Xinheng knelt in front of Xinluo, his back straightened.
With a heavy and sad expression, he sincerely said to Xin Luo in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, it's Dad who's sorry for you."
It has to be said that Gu Xinheng like this is much braver and stronger than Shen Wan who can only pretend to be dizzy and weak when encountering problems.
However, it was too late.
Such an apology has been overdue for more than 20 years.
Xin Luo looked at Gu Xinheng, and said coolly, "Uncle, you called me wrong. My father is Yue Ting, not you."
"I... I know..." Gu Xinheng closed his eyes, showing pain.
The name Yue Ting, as a rival in love, has been engraved in his heart for an unknown number of years.
He once thought that he could get rid of it.
But in the end, it can only be retribution.
The rival in love who has always wanted to surpass and forget will one day read it from the mouth of the child he loves like a daughter.
Thinking of this, Gu Xinheng smiled sadly.
As expected, he lost to Yue Ting in his whole life.
He opened his eyes, and stared at Xinluo with his firm black eyes.
"Rourou, no... I should call you Xinluo. I'm sorry... I have never had a chance to confess to you. You are right, you were indeed replaced by someone back then. Gu Rourou died young when she was born, Shen Wan thought She tried to harm Xiaozi's child, but in the end it was her own daughter who died."
Having said this, Gu Xinheng had a sarcastic smile on his face.
"I admit that I did all the things back then. I knew Shen Wan's secret arrangement, so I wanted to take this opportunity to keep you. I... I love your mother so much, that is my only chance, I don't want to miss out."
"I used Shen Wan and you too... I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to protect you well."
He changed the child for his own selfishness, but he couldn't protect her well.
He managed to get her back, but he couldn't resist his mother's persecution and the Reddington family's revenge.
Gu Xinheng knelt in front of Xinluo, such an elderly man, crying and repenting for the wrong things he had done.
Gu Xinheng could no longer hide it.
Not only because Xin Luo discovered the truth by himself, but also because he was tormented by strong guilt and anxiety almost every night.
"I love your mother. I loved her from the first moment I saw her. We were planning to get engaged, but I was drunk that night, and I mistook Shen Wan for Shen Zi. The difference between one word and my life But it has gone in the wrong direction since then. At that time, your uncle had not been promoted to the military rank, and the children born to the stepmother were obviously more favored in the Shen family. For the sake of family honor, my mother forced me to marry Shen Wan. Mistakes all started from then... ”
Gu Xinheng recounted the events of the year to Xinluo bit by bit.
It was also the first time for many people present to hear his words.
The expressions of Old Master Shen, Jiang Yunwen, Shen Yi and others can be imagined, even Gu Zonghan frowned deeply at this time.
No wonder…
No wonder for so many years, even though my parents look harmonious and beautiful, my mother always has to do something to enhance her sense of existence.
As for Gu Xinheng, who clearly had several children with Shen Wan, he was most impatient with Shen Wan.
"No, it's not..." The corner of Shen Wan's mouth was still oozing blood, but when she heard Gu Xinheng's words, she stood up desperately, wanting to explain.
But Gu Xinheng turned a deaf ear and continued to say: "Oh, I am such a useless man. When I was young, I didn't dare to marry the woman I loved, and when I was old, I didn't dare to protect the person I wanted to protect. Four years ago, my original intention was I wanted to take you back to country M, but because of my mother's words, I retreated."
