He was certain then; she was indeed Mu Qingcheng's daughter!
The so-called granddaughter, whom he had doted on for over a decade, was an imposter!
Remorse and fury consumed him at the thought of this!
He had nearly ruined her!
Ruined that beloved woman's daughter!
His heart was twisted in pain.
"Your name is Yun Shishi, isn't it?!" His voice shook. "Grandpa has been looking everywhere for you all these years; I didn't think that you'd actually—"
"Shut up!" she yelled in vexation. "Don't you say my name; you have no right to say my name!"
"I—"
Shock and hurt flashed across his face as his lips quivered incessantly. His face then turned ghastly pale at once. "Shishi, don't get agitated! You're still hurt so speak no more!"
"Shut up! Stop calling my name!" A flash of pain appeared on her face as she howled, "You don't have the right to do so! Mu Sheng, are you feeling very smug now?! Are you satisfied now? Isn't it all because of you that I turned out this way?!"
Like a razor-sharp dagger, her cold and indifferent words indubitably stabbed him!
He had nothing to say in his defense despite the compounding pain in his heart.
Indeed, if not for his foolish mistakes back then, she would not have suffered this much!
It was justifiable that she blamed and hated him!
This was not what he wanted, though!
Never did he expect such an outcome just because of his momentary foolishness!
He immediately moved to placate her. "All right, all right! Grandpa will not say your name. We'll talk when you're feeling better, okay?"
Her face froze as she gritted out, "You're no grandfather of mine!"
Her words struck him like bolts of lightning.
She continued. "Do you know? From my mother, there were only ever mentions of you being a cruel miscreant who destroyed her life, so you're no grandfather to me, and I won't acknowledge you, too! Give up!"
This was too much of a blow to the elderly man, causing him to stagger a few steps backward. His heart constricted in pain.
His trembling hand held on to his chest as hurt exuded from his eyes.
"Shishi… give me a chance to explain, all right? I did you wrong; I really did you wrong. From now on, grandpa will make it all up to you for the wrongs I've done to you. Please don't be mad at grandpa and say such cruel words!"
Once a vigorous and vicious big shot, this elderly man had now put down all his pride before her just to plead for her forgiveness!
Ever since he learned the truth, he was tortured by remorse endlessly, but he felt even more unbearable when she poured salt on his wounds with her merciless words.
She chased him away.
He stood rooted to the spot, though. He was unwilling to leave, not when he had not taken a good look at her. She was hurt. He heard that she was covered in blood when she was brought over to the hospital.
