Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Soon, Tongrui washed up. Just after breakfast, her phone rang. It was Zhao Xian.

Looking at the caller ID, Tongrui froze for a moment. Why did Aunt Xian call me suddenly?

After picking up the phone, Tongrui was about to greet while Zhao Xian said coldly, "Come out and

meet. I'll send you the address."

Tongrui only met with Zhao Xian at Zhenghui's house several times.,

In Tongrui's impression, Zhao Xian was gentle, and her attitude toward Lingye and Tongrui was polite

and kind. But today, Zhao Xian was cold and rigid to Tongrui. It sounded like command and even none

of the basic politeness.

Tongrui did not take it seriously. She only thought that Zhao Xian might be in a hurry, so she replied to

Zhao Xian kindly, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Tongrui received the address from Zhao Xian. On the way there, Tongrui

could not help but be curious about Zhao Xian's change of attitude toward her. Maybe it was because

Zhao Xian had known that Zhenghui planned to give Tongrui half of his property.

It seemed reasonable. After all, if a husband wanted to transfer half of his property to an unrelated

person, his wife would not be happy.

When Tongrui arrived at the tea house, Tongrui mentioned Zhao Xian's name, and the waiter led her

into the private room.

In the private room, Zhao Xian was already sitting there with a grim expression.

After Zhao Xian ordered the waiter to leave, Tongrui greeted her with a smile, "Aunt Xian, what do you

want from me?"

Zhao Xian's attitude was still cold. "Sit down and chat."

Tongrui nodded and sat opposite Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian looked at her and said, "I want to meet with you today because I have something important

to tell you."

"Is it about the distribution of properties under Uncle Zhenghui's name?"

Tongrui did not avoid this topic but said straight to the point, "Don't worry, Aunt Xian. I won't accept any

of Uncle Zhenghui's property. Although I don't understand why Uncle Zhenghui decided to distribute

half of his property to me, no matter what the reason is, I won't take it. Even if Uncle Zhenghui wants to

give it, it should be to Lingye or Siqi. It should never be my turn."

Zhao Xian sneered. "It's good that you know it."

Tongrui pursed her lips and took a sip of tea without saying anything.

"Aren't you curious why Zhenghui gave you half his property?"

Tongrui frowned slightly and felt uneasy. "Why?"

"I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, I would meet her daughter again."

Her daughter?

Tongrui felt more wrong. "Aunt Xian, what do you mean?"

"Your mother, Lan Jing, is my husband's lover! Your mother is dead, and now you come to rob my

husband! I hate you two!"

Tongrui trembled upon hearing that.

She stared at Zhao Xian in a daze. "Aunt Xian, I don't understand what you mean."

Zhao Xian glared at her sharply and coldly. "You don't understand? Who would give so much of his

property to a person with no blood relationship? That's not charity. Did you ever think why Zhenghui

wanted to give you a lot of property? Who is he to you?"

Tongrui could hear her heart thumping.

After a few seconds, she smiled stiffly. "Aunt Xian, don't make such jokes with me. How can I have a

blood relationship with Uncle Zhenghui? My father loves me so much. If I'm someone else's daughter,

my father won't care for me."

Tongrui found it unbelievable, and her heart was resistant to this relationship.

"I don't know why your father raised you. Maybe Lan Jing coaxed your father into obsession. Wasn't

that how she seduced my husband back then? She is used to using those tricks. Nothing surprising."

Tongrui was a little angry. "Please don't slander my mother. She has passed away."

"If she didn't become the third party, I wouldn't slander her."

"My mother wouldn't be someone's third party! I also wouldn't relate to Uncle Zhenghui!"

Zhao Xian smiled mockingly. "You still don't believe me."

"Of course! If Uncle Zhenghui is my father, he must tell me about that!"

There were too many loopholes in Zhao Xian's words.

Zhao Xian sarcastically said, "How could he dare to tell you? He wants to hide this secret from

everyone until he dies. If he tells you you're his biological daughter, you and Lingye are cousins. It's

ridiculous that you and Lingye are a couple. He is afraid that both you and Lingye will hate him. So how

could he tell you about this? Zhenghui has been timid all his life. He eloped with Lan Jing back then. It's

fine if he never came back, but he came back again. He once abandoned me for Lan Jing, and later, he

abandoned Lan Jing again. Do you know why? It's retribution to your mother!"

Tongrui clenched her hands and was trembling.

She gritted her teeth, and after a long time, she slowly asked, "Aunt Xian, have you said enough?"

"Of course not! I didn't hate you at first. You're Lingye's wife. We're relatives. How could I hate you? But

when I know you're the child of my husband and Lan Jing, I hate you so much! I wonder why that fire

didn't kill you. If you died in that fire, it doesn't matter if I go to jail. I just want my daughter to be happy.

Because of you, Jia becomes unhappy too! Tongrui, why are you Lan Jing’s daughter?"

Tongrui took a deep breath. "You're mistaken. I'm not Uncle Zhenghui's daughter, and I can't be. I have

a father. My only father is Mu Guangqing!"

"The father you mentioned is Type A blood. He probably never told you that your mother, Lan Jing, is

also Type A blood, right?"

Tongrui's eyes trembled fiercely. How could it be possible? She knew that Guangqing had Type A

blood, but she always thought Lan Jing had Type B blood, so she was born with Type AB blood.

Tongrui stared at Zhao Xian in shock, and she kept mumbling, "Impossible... You must have made a

mistake."

She might believe that Zhao Xian said Lan Jing had a relationship with Zhenghui, but she would not

trust she was Zhenghui's daughter.

"I know my husband's blood type best. Do you know? He has the same blood type as yours, both Type

AB blood."

Tongrui bit her lips and forced a smile. "So what? There are so many people with Type AB blood in the

world. Is every person with Type AB blood the daughter of Uncle Zhenghui?"

"Your sophistry makes no sense. Zhenghui has secretly done a DNA test. I saw it in the safe in his

study. The blood types may be a coincidence. Is the DNA result also a coincidence?"
