Qiao Yuying did not want to hear this. She had never had any feelings towards Huo Lin. In fact, she detested him!

Although he had been devoted to her for years and everyone thought he was deeply in love with her, she felt that he was a hypocrite.

Or perhaps she should say that she did not need his love. In fact, she would not condescend to accept it.

But she would not have met Gu Yunshen if not for him. When she thought about that, Qiao Yuying's aversion towards Huo Lin lessened a little. Still, when she thought of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d's motive for doing all those things for her, she felt nauseated.

Old Madam Qiao saw that she was resolute, so she said, “All right, all right, all right, I won't say anymore. But, Yuying! You… you can't remain single forever! Who do you fancy? Tell me, and I'll bring them all here for you, all right?”

Old Madam doted on her daughter. She was not adamant that her daughter marry Huo Lin, but she felt that since that boy had remained devoted to her daughter for so many years, he might be a good choice.

But Huo Lin had been married before and had children. He even had a lover now. She objected to that. Even though the ex-wife and current lover all looked like her daughter, this had no power to vanquish her objections.

Qiao Yuying felt frustrated at the mention of her marriage.

She already had someone she liked and was already married. Something had happened when she gave birth, but she had not expected her parents to take her away while she was still unconscious. When she awoke, it was too late.

The child… was gone!

The thought of this broke Qiao Yuying's heart.

When Old Madam Qiao saw her daughter's pained expression, she knew she must be thinking of the child.

Old Madam Qiao also grieved at the thought. At the same time, she was not sure she had done the right thing in deceiving her child.

Her beloved daughter!

She had mysteriously given birth to a child. She had done it alone, badly injured, and unconscious in that little place. Old Madam Qiao had been furious. She wanted to dismember that man.

She could not bring herself to like that child. Her cherished and beloved daughter had been bullied by that barbarian and had even given birth to a child. How could she like the child?

She had been outraged.

At that time, she felt that her daughter's life must not be ruined because of this child. She also wanted her daughter to be able to emerge from this incident. So she decided to give the child up for adoption and keep it a secret from her daughter.

But she and her husband had left for a while, and when they returned, the child had vanished.

They were in a hurry to leave and had no time to search for the child. It had been a precarious situation, and things could have gone wrong at any time.

They were in a rage and did not bother with the child any longer.

They left with their daughter. Before they left the country, their daughter had regained consciousness once and hazily insisted on looking for the child and one Gu Yunshen. The two old folks could not bear to deny her, so they sent someone to search and discovered that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d was already married.

He had a wife and children. Twins in fact!

She was infuriated. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He had deceived her daughter and ruined her life. If she had not run out of time, she would have sent someone to kill the b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

But she had no time. Old Madam Qiao and her family had left the country, and in present circ.u.mstances, there was no possibility of returning. So things had dragged on for many years.
