"Of course!" A meaningful smile rose on Bo Lengqing's face.
I was confused. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? "
"Whatever he wants, we will give him. However, no matter how much he gives us and how much he can keep, it will depend on his ability!"
"I'm worried …"
"With me here, you don't have to worry about anything." His voice was soft but firm, and my heart settled.
When I got home, I took out the diary my mother had left behind.
The diary was very thick. Even though a space that could fit the ruby was dug out, there were still many more pages to it.
Furthermore, there were dense words written on it.
That time when I found the ruby, I didn't finish reading through the entire diary. I just skimmed through it roughly. This time, I wanted to find some clues.
I thought that if she was willing to leave her own island for my own father, it must be because she loved him so much, and for that reason she couldn't possibly write nothing in her diary.
As I leafed through the pages, I found that in addition to the piece of paper in the middle that was stuck together to form a hidden box, there were also a lot of trivia written on the back.
When I finished reading it again, I still didn't see what I wanted.
Frustrated, I closed the diary. Just as I was about to put it aside, I saw a small crack appear on the thick cover of the diary, revealing a small corner within.
Breathing hard, I pulled the photo out of the cover.
It was a group photo.
It was a picture of her mother when she was young, and beside her stood a young man. Just based on appearance, he looked extremely similar to Su Jianguo, but with a single glance, I knew that he wasn't Su Jianguo.
Su Jianguo's eyes flashed with the light of calculation all year round, but this person did not. On the contrary, his eyes were filled with sincerity and simplicity.
This person …
Would he be my real father?
I flipped the photo upside down on the table, feeling a little overwhelmed.
I have always wondered why Su Jianguo would still take care of us two living together if he really wasn't my biological father, and why would he recognize me instead? And according to my understanding of him, he didn't have a kind heart, and after so many years of living together, he didn't have any deep feelings for his mother.
If that man in the photo was really my father, then he must be related to Su Jianguo by blood!
I have a headache, why on earth did he leave me and my mother?!
I glanced at the photo. It was at that moment that I noticed a small line of words on the back of the photo. It was an address.
I looked it up on the internet. It was in a city near the sea. I vaguely remembered it, but my mother never told me about it.
What is this place?
I gave the photo to Bo Lengqing and told him to look it up for me.
The next day we went to prison again.
This time, I agreed to Su Jianguo's request and agreed to let him out of prison. However, I also have a precondition — he must tell me, just what is the relationship between him and my biological father!
"He's my brother."
As expected, I knew that … I knew it...
That's why he took me and my mother in.
"Is my father still alive …" I asked in a trembling voice.
"This is the second question. Su Cha, although I am indeed not your father, we are related by blood, but … Even blood brothers had to settle scores! "You know that I am a qualified businessman …"
There was a hint of meaning in his words.
I truly admire his shamelessness! Even his own family could be exchanged for benefits!
His insatiable greed disgusted me, but I had to endure it!
"What do you want?!"
His eyes flashed with greed. "Before your mother passed away, she held a will in her hand. As long as you hand over the will to me, I will tell you where your father is!"
I frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Don't play dumb Su Cha, if you didn't have the money on the will, you would be able to live carefreely in foreign countries until now?! I don't need much either, you two have been living in Su Family for such a long time, you should pay me some compensation! "
He spoke with a matter-of-fact air.
Mother's will?! How could Mom have such a thing, I have no idea!
"Think it over, and when you have thought it through, come to me with your will, and I will tell you where your father is!"
At the door of the prison, he walked away, leaving me standing there in a daze.
"How is it?"
Bo Lengqing embraced me who was stunned. I raised my head and looked at him helplessly: "My biological father is Su Jianguo's blood brother, but is unwilling to tell you his whereabouts! "He even said …"
"What else?"
"He also said that if I wanted to know my father's whereabouts, I would have to exchange my mother's will with him … But I don't even know what kind of will my mother left me … "
Bo Lengqing hugged me as he consoled me nonstop, "Su Cha, calm down first. You also know that Su Jianguo uses your father's whereabouts as a bargaining chip to exchange for your benefits. It's still unknown how much credibility his words have … "
"I know, I know, but my heart is really sad …" How could he be so cold-blooded and ruthless?! That's his brother! "
"Tea …" Bo Lengqing patted my shoulder and helped me up the carriage.
"Have you ever thought of one possibility? That's the worst." After I calmed down a little, he suddenly spoke up.
"You mean …"
He nodded: "Su Cha, think about it carefully. What kind of situation would a man choose to entrust his wife and daughter to his family?"
"If I were him, I would never abandon my wife and daughter!"
"Su Cha, be more objective." Bo Lengqing's voice was gentle and kind.
"Then what if it's you?! Would you abandon Rui Rui and I, and throw us back to Ling Chen?! " I asked.
"Nope." He firmly said, "I am an extremely selfish person. I will make you remember me for the rest of your lives. You won't leave your son and daughter behind like this."
But very soon, his voice softened. "But this is only for me, I do not doubt your father's feelings for your mother. There must be a reason why he left you behind! Just as you had said, Su Jianguo is his own little brother. Only by leaving you and your mother by Su Jianguo's side can he feel at ease.
"That's what he thinks! I am not Su Jianguo's daughter, so since I was young, Su Ya and Gu Mei pointed at my nose and scolded me as a bastard child, I could only endure it and swallow my anger. When others humiliated me and looked down on me, I didn't even have the ability to refute them, and I didn't even have the power to speak for you back then! "
I began to cry again.
"Nor did your father! If he knew that the two of you would suffer so much, he definitely wouldn't choose this one either. Su Cha … Have you ever thought that after all these years, he hasn't come back to see you all? It is very possible that he is no longer in the human world … "
"Whether he's alive or not, I just want to know where he is! "I have the right to know who my father is. I want to know …" I cried.
He hugged me tightly and gently patted my back. "Don't cry, I know. I know what you're thinking …"
The picture I gave him last night was returned to my hand. "If you want to find me, you can go with me. No matter what the price is, no matter how long it takes, okay?"
I looked at my father and mother smiling brightly in the photo and made up my mind.
"I want to go to the photo where Mom wrote it. I don't know why she wrote it, but I know I have to go!" I said firmly.
He nodded, "Alright, since you want to go, then I'll go with you!"
