Chapter 396 - 311: A Genuine Daughter as Good as New_ 2

Upon hearing this, Gu Zuo looked at Gu Li with a distressed expression, “Miss, you better leave first.”

Gu Li remained silent, subconsciously looking at Gu Yuan, but he had already turned his back to her, acting as if he never wanted to see her again.

He really didn’t love her; over such a trivial matter, he no longer wanted her as his daughter…

Feeling a bit hurt, she cringed and bit her lip, her eyes gradually becoming dull and lightless.

Mo Shiting lifted his hand to rub her head, whispering in comfort, “Let’s go first. Your father is still angry; we’ll talk once he cools down.”

Gu Li lowered her head, deep in thought.

Mo Shiting decided to put his arm around her shoulders, addressing Gu Yuan’s back, “Uncle, have a safe trip, we’ll go first.”

No matter what, Gu Yuan was still his future father-in-law, Mo Shiting politely said his farewell.

He finished speaking, then he walked out with Gu Li.

As soon as they left and the door closed behind them, Gu Yuan turned around, his deep eyes filled with heavy sadness.

After leaving the Presidential Hotel, Gu Li’s mood was still very low.

Mo Shiting held her hand, “Are you hungry?”

Gu Li shook her head, “Not hungry.”

How could she have the mood to eat at that time?

But as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach uncontrollably grumbled twice.

Mo Shiting pinched her fingers and kissed them, softly suggesting, “How about we go back to Blue Sky and Blue Sea, and brother can make you some noodles to eat?”

Gu Li looked up, meeting his deep affectionate gaze, she suddenly threw herself into his arms, murmuring, “Brother Ting, aren’t you going to comfort me at all?”

“Your father loves you very much.”

Knowing what she cared about, Mo Shiting cut right to the chase.

Gu Li sulked, “Love me? He constantly threatens to severe our father-daughter relationship over trivial matters. Is this love? I think, let’s fulfill his wish. Whoever wants to be Miss Gu can be.”

Hearing the girl’s tense words, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but laugh, “Silly girl!” “Hmph!”

“We were indeed too rash just now, somewhat neglecting his feelings. It’s normal for him to be so angry.”

Mo Shiting reasoned, feeling more and more that their previous approach lacked consideration. Who would react calmly in such a situation?

After Mo Shiting explained it, Gu Li carefully recalled the events and gradually calmed down.

“Brother Ting, you’re right, I need to reflect. But I still can’t believe that there are two people in the world who look so alike.”

Gu Li stated honestly.

She always suspected that her father was lying or hiding something.

Mo Shiting gently nodded, “I’ll continue to look into this matter for you.”

“How will you check?”

Gu Li asked curiously, “Don’t tell me, you’re going to rush to the Tang family for a DNA test? My father said that if I dare to, he will disown me.”

Over the years, even though Gu Li never said it out loud, she still loved Gu Yuan very much in her heart. If her little doubt was to hurt her own father’s feelings and lose him in the process, she would never agree to it.

“I am thinking, is it possible, that you are not his biological daughter at all? Is he afraid to lose you and therefore doesn’t want you to recognize your kin?”

Mo Shiting’s imagination took flight.

Gu Li was speechless, “That’s impossible!”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow, “Why are you so sure?”

There has been gossip circulating that Gu Li was not Gu Yuan’s biological daughter, maybe it was true.

Gu Li sighed, “I know. You’ve probably heard rumors that I’m not Gu Yuan’s real daughter. In fact, when I was little, I also heard quite a few of those. Once when I had an argument with Gu Susu, she even pointed at me and called me a bastard.”

Saying this, she suddenly laughed, “People spread those rumors because my father brought me home when I was five, and he had always been single before that. So, they doubted whether I was his own flesh and blood. I too doubted this once and even secretly went for a DNA test. The result was — I am his genuine biological daughter.”

Mo Shiting was surprised to hear that she had such a period of self-doubt, feeling a bit sorry for her.

He held Gu Li tighter, resting his chin on her head and saying solemnly, “Gu Li!”

“Hmm?”

“No matter who you are, I will always treat you well for the rest of my life!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Li leaned back slightly, tilting her head to meet his sincere gaze, and said with a bright smile, “Me too, Brother Ting. I’m hungry, let’s go home and make some noodles.”

“Okay, honey.”
