Chapter 540: Chapter 369 Gu Li is Your Biological Daughter_1
The garden, in the gazebo.
The servants respectfully served a pot of fine tea and some exquisite refreshments, and then graciously withdrew.
The vast garden was now occupied only by Shi Li and her husband, along with Tang Wan.
The mother and daughter sat face to face, their gazes fixated on each other’s faces, reluctant to look away.
At this moment, no one initiated conversation, and the silence was so profound that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
After a while, Mo Shiting was the first to break the silence: “Chairman Tang, allow me to formally introduce to you, this is my wife, Gu Li, and she is also your biological daughter, Tang Tang. As for the other one inside, she’s a fraud.”
“What did you say?”
Shock widened Tang Wan’s eyes as disbelief filled them.
Though she didn’t have much affection for the daughter she had just recognized, she never doubted that it wasn’t her Tang Tang. Now, Mo Shiting told her bluntly that she had mistaken her daughter. This…
Tang Wan had trouble accepting it.
“Shiting, this joke is not funny at all.”
Tang Wan shook her head, refusing to acknowledge that she could have made such a grave mistake.
After all, if what Mo Shiting said was true, how could she face her Tang Tang?
“I am not joking.”
Mo Shiting said sternly, his voice full of sincerity, “This is a DNA report from an authoritative testing center. The results show that you and Gu Li are mother and daughter.”
As he spoke, he unrolled the test results and placed them in front of Tang Wan.
Tang Wan tremblingly picked up the report. Seeing the words “biological mother and daughter,” her mind suddenly went blank.
Seeing this, Gu Li couldn’t help but clasp her hand, gently comforting her: “Mommy, I know you might need some time to accept this, it’s okay. We can take it slow.”
Tang Wan finally snapped back to the present, her gaze met Gu Li’s, tears flowing down her cheeks, “Tang Tang… Are you really Tang Tang?”
“Yes, I am.”
Gu Li nodded firmly, her nose tingled, and she began to shed tears too, “I am the true Tang Tang…”
“Tang Tang…”
“Mommy…”
The mother and daughter finally could not hold back their tears and embraced each other, sobbing uncontrollably.
Mo Shiting stood behind them, watching this scene silently, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
On the one hand, he was happy for Gu Li; on the other hand, he felt a profound sadness.
His Tang Tang, who should have been leading a carefree life, was hit by a sudden disaster and got separated from her closest kin for over a decade.
Fortunately, it’s not too late for them to recognize each other now.
After the mother and daughter had their fill of crying, they slowly regained their composure.
Tang Wan released Gu Li, took a tissue and gently wiped the tear marks on her face, her eyes filled with affection. “All these years, I’ve been imagining what my Tang Tang would look like when she grows up. Whether she’d be tall or short, fat or thin. The moment I saw you today, I suddenly thought that my Tang Tang should look exactly like you.”
“Mommy, are you satisfied with me then?”
Gu Li, wiping Tang Wan’s tears with a tissue, asked with a playful smile on her face.
Tang Wan laughed at her words, “I am. I am extremely satisfied. You are much prettier than I was.”
After all, Tang Tang shares the best features of herself and that man, how could she not be beautiful?
But it dawnllied on her – recalling Gu Yuan, she realized that Tang Tang now goes by the name Gu Li, and shares the same surname as Gu. Could they…?
No! It couldn’t be a coincidence, could it?
With this revelation, the smile on Tang Wan’s face froze abruptly.
Noticing this, Gu Li hastily asked with concern: “Mommy… what’s wrong?”
“No, nothing.”
Tang Wan suppressed the odd look in her eyes and gently asked her, “Tang Tang, where have you been all these years? Are you doing okay? Mommy has been looking for you for over a decade, I’ve searched all over the world, but I never heard from you.”
“I’m doing quite well. My father treats me well, although he’s strict, but I know, he genuinely loves me.”
Perhaps in the past, Gu Li might have doubted Gu Yuan’s love for her, but as more and more things happened, she gradually understood the truth of a father’s love being like a mountain.
It’s not that her father doesn’t love her, but that his love is profound and not easily discovered.
“Your… father?”
Tang Wan unconsciously squeezed the tissue in her hand, her voice slightly trembling.
As expected, the next second Gu Li clearly uttered two words, “Gu Yuan.”
Boom—
It was really him!
“Gu Yuan? How dare he—”
Unaware of Gu Yuan’s secret of hiding her daughter for sixteen years, Tang Wan was so furious that she nearly passed out. Luckily, Gu Li was quick-witted and helped her to calm down in time.
“Mommy, are you feeling a bit better now?”
Gu Li rubbed Tang Wan’s back while anxiously asking her.
It seems that the grievances between her parents are not so easily resolved.
Otherwise, why would her father always prevent her from looking for her mother?
Sigh!
Gu Li heaved a silent sigh.
Throughout all these years, both have remained single. She did not believe that they didn’t love each other anymore.
As for why she was so certain her parents were in love?
That’s because, from what she knows of her father, he wouldn’t touch a woman he didn’t love, let alone have a child with her…
“I’m much better now, thank you, Tang Tang.”
Her daughter was like a little angel, instantly warming Tang Wan’s heart.
At this moment, Tang Wan unconsciously remembered the distant past, when she was unhappy, her Tang Tang would flutter over like a little butterfly, saying in her childish voice: “Mommy, what’s wrong? Mommy, do you want Tang Tang to sing for you? When Tang Tang sings, mommy will be happy.”
The little girl had a sweet voice but was tone-deaf. Her singing was simply unbearable, but every time, she managed to sing straight into Tang Wan’s heart, making her overjoyed.
Tang Tang was truly her happy pill. It was such a pity that she lost her.
Thankfully, her Tang Tang was smart and knew the way home, otherwise…
The mere thought of her own stupidity in not recognizing her daughter, that she let an imposter take advantage, felt like a knife twisting in Tang Wan’s heart, causing her unbearable pain.
“Tang Tang, mommy is sorry! Mommy didn’t mean to let someone else take your place.”
Tang Wan tightened her grip on Gu Li’s hand, full of remorse in her eyes.
Gu Li gently laughed and shook her head, “I’m not blaming you. I should have come looking for you sooner.”
If she had made the decision to come and acknowledge her earlier, no one else would have found an opportunity to step in.
However, there’s no use regretting it now, what’s most important at this time is to uncover the person behind all this.
Thinking of this, Gu Li solemnly said to Tang Wan, “Mommy, I suspect someone is manipulating this situation from behind the scenes, so let’s keep our relationship a secret for now to avoid startling the snake.”
Tang Wan was quick-witted, she immediately understood Gu Li’s intentions.
She nodded, a harsh light flickeing in her eyes, “Alright, Mommy will listen to you.”
“Mmm mmm, thank you, mommy.”
Gu Li gave Tang Wan another affectionate hug, kissing her cheek with a cheeky grin, “So, starting from today, I am your goddaughter, right?”
