Tang Zhen sighed. How could she not understand Gu Yun's feelings, but love had never been something that a person could decide, and she did not wish for Gu Yun to continue to be so stubborn.

"Buzz …"

The phone suddenly vibrated with a sense of urgency. Tang Zhen looked at the unfamiliar phone number and frowned, but in the end, he still accepted the call.

"Hello?"

Tang Zhen asked.

"Little Zhe, it's me. I'm Dad." A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side.

However, his words caused Tang Zhen to be extremely shocked. She clearly did not believe him, and there was no memory of her father.

She reconfirmed the number, and the area displayed was not the address of A City at all.

"Sorry, I've never had a father since I was young, I think you've called the wrong number."

She had never seen her father in her life. Even after so many years, her mother had always disliked her. Most of the hatred she felt was due to her father's abandonment.

Therefore, not to mention that this person was not her father, even if it was, she wouldn't recognize him. It wasn't just because he abandoned her mother, but also because he didn't even have the basic sense of responsibility as a man.

"Little Zhe, don't hang up. I know it's my fault for all these years. I caused you and your mother to suffer for so many years. Can you give your father a chance?" The person begged Tang Zhen.

His voice sounded very old, and it was not hard to imagine that his life these years wasn't very pleasant. However, towards a father that she had never seen before, she felt sorry. She wouldn't have any sympathy for him.

"Why should I believe your words? And even if you really are my biological father, the first person you should look for is my mother, the woman who was abandoned by you and has no one to rely on, not me."

Tang Zhen said indifferently and hung up the phone.

Too many unfathomable things had happened in the past few days, and now, a father had appeared out of nowhere.

However, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Why did this father who had disappeared for over twenty years suddenly appear? If that person was really his father, then how did she know his cell phone number?

Could it be …

Impossible, her mother hated that man to the bones. How could she give him her cell phone number? She immediately threw her ridiculous thoughts to the back of her mind.

However, thinking back to when her grandma had passed away and she still hadn't talked to Tang Zijun on the phone, she took out her phone and called again.

The phone continued to ring but no one answered. Just as Tang Zhen was about to hang up, an impatient voice came from the other side.

"Hello?" It was just a single word, but it gave off an extreme chilliness.

Tang Zhen suddenly felt wronged. In all these years, besides his maternal grandfather, this mother had never said a word about him caring for her. Now that he heard her cold voice, he suddenly triggered all of the pent-up grievances he had been feeling all these years.

The pain in her throat made it almost impossible for her to say anything. She held the phone tightly and buried her face in her lap.

She thought that if her grandmother died, she would become her mother's sole support. Perhaps her attitude towards her would improve, but …

"What do you want? Didn't I tell you not to call me if you have nothing to do? "

Tang Zijun did not care about what Tang Zhen felt, and impatiently said.

"Mom, I missed you."

She never hoped that Tang Zijun would be able to be nice to her, just like other mothers. She hoped that in this distant and distant relationship, her mother would be able to comfort her a little.

"When you are pregnant with Song Qiting's child, talk about how you miss me."

Tang Zijun mercilessly hung up the phone, the cold tone was like a sharp steel blade that fiercely pierced Tang Zhen's heart, causing her to be unable to breathe.

Was there anything in this world that could hurt her more than the injuries her own mother brought her?

The phone slipped from her hand and she held on to her sobs. Every time she sobbed, the wound on her arm would be affected. However, no matter how painful the wound was on the outside, it couldn't compare to the one in her heart.

Tang Zhen sobbed as she thought back to three years ago, when she had just lost herself and her entire person was in a state of despair. At that time, Yu Yifei was still her most trusted friend.

She remembered that her mother had called her to come to a business meeting at the company she worked for, but just as she was about to go to the hotel, she suddenly felt dizzy for some reason. When she woke up again, she was half-naked in Song Qiting's arms.

When she regained her senses, her mother and a few senior executives were already in her room. She was shocked senseless, especially when she saw Song Qiting's cold face.

Afterwards, under the protection of a group of bodyguards, Song Qiting left as fast as she could. At that time, Tang Zhen felt that even her sky had fallen.

One must know that ever since she went to university, she had always silently liked Song Qiting. She had never told anyone about this matter, not even Yu Yifei, who was her closest friend at the time.

She thought that after that incident, she and Song Qiting would no longer have any interactions whatsoever. But who knew that when she returned home in a sorry state, her biological mother would actually take out the photos of her and Song Qiting and threaten her, forcing her to marry Song Qiting. If she didn't want to, she would have sent these photos to the media.

Tang Zhen was too afraid, she was afraid that these bad rumors would affect Song Qiting's career, and she was even more afraid that Song Qiting would hate her.

At that time, Grandmother's condition had worsened. This was because her grandmother had once told her that her grandfather had left behind a villa, and it would have to wait for her to marry before it could be transferred to her.

Furthermore, she knew that her grandfather had built all the plants and bricks and tiles in the villa for her grandmother, so it was very important to her grandmother.

The desperate Tang Zhen had finally agreed to marry Song Qiting to her mother, but what happened afterwards, had completely exceeded her tolerance.

She had always known that Song Qiting loved the person Yu Yifei, but when Song Qiting had agreed to marry her, she was still incomparably happy.

For a moment, everyone left.

It was only on the day of her and Song Qiting's wedding that she found out that Song Qiting had only agreed to marry her in revenge for forcing Yu Yifei to leave, so he wanted her to stay by his side to torture her and watch her suffer.

It was also because of that night that Song Qiting forced himself into her place. When he found out that Tang Zhen had long since lost his virginity, he hated her even more.

This was the beginning of the nightmare. The imagined happiness was always stingy and unwilling to come to her side, but the heartless pain was completely generous.

Only after a long while did Tang Zhen finally sober up from his memories. She did not understand why her mother wanted her to marry Song Qiting back then.

She had never thought about this before, but now that she had started to investigate more, she realized that there were too many things that she couldn't unravel, so she had to investigate exactly what was going on.
