Chapter 426: Chapter 426: The Truth

"If you’re worried that I might kill myself after knowing everything, rest assured, I won’t give in to such foolishness! For Xiao Nian’s sake, I will keep living." Xiaoqiao made herself clear to Leng Tou without any hesitation.

Perhaps because she was thought to be blind, the ever-stoic Leng Tou, whose true emotions rarely surfaced, was now clearly hesitating and struggling, making her even more certain that there were secrets to be unveiled.

Finally, Leng Tou seemed to have made up his mind, "Let’s find a place to talk."

Leng Tou took her to his office and poured her a cup of tea.

Leng Jing didn’t follow them in, patiently waiting outside.

Leng Tou walked to the window and stood in silence for a while, gazing absentmindedly at the traffic below, "Actually, he had never known about your origins, until that day when Qin Yao called him out, revealing you are Huo Yandong’s daughter, and providing plenty of evidence, including a paternity test certificate."

"It was after that day’s return that he started to distance himself from you, not knowing how to face you, unable to accept that the woman he loved the most was the daughter of his enemy!"

"Of course, he didn’t fully trust Qin Yao, he had been gathering evidence to prove it himself during that time!"

Xiaoqiao had long suspected this, and now she finally confirmed it from Leng Tou’s words.

Recalling his varied demeanor during that time, his abrupt mood shifts, his pain, it all made sense now...

"The day he proposed divorce, was that the day he confirmed my identity?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"Yes," Leng Tou nodded and explained, "But... that wasn’t the only reason he suggested divorce! Although he hesitated and became indifferent to you, even once blinded by hatred to the point of considering giving up this relationship! But nobody is a saint, who could face such a situation without any struggle!

However, divorce was not his true intention, but rather a threat from Qin Yao. Otherwise, there was no need for him to create a fake divorce agreement!

Even if it was just a piece of paper, a form with only the legal significance of self-comfort! He never wanted to separate from you! Because you were too hard-won..."

"I know..." Xiaoqiao murmured softly. Qin Yao had already told her just now.

Leng Tou’s tone was somewhat excited, clearly, he too had been holding back for a long time, "If he didn’t divorce you, Qin Yao would have told Huo Yandong about your origins!

You must know that you are Huo Yandong’s only blood relative, and with his temperament, if he knew about your existence, he would never let you go!

That’s why he was so furious that day when he found out you actually became entangled with Huo Yandong and even conspired with him to kidnap Gong Hannian!

He was protecting Gong Hannian to protect you! If anything happened to Gong Hannian, you would be doomed! Back then, your mother sent you to the Gong family and did everything possible to have you bear the Gong surname, all to conceal your identity, to protect you!"

"Mother..." Xiaoqiao clenched her fists tightly.

"The first person to know about your background must have been Gong Zhiming, as whether or not you are his daughter, he would certainly know best. Considering his last bit of affection for your mother, he didn’t stop your grandfather from adopting you.

At that time, Qin Yao’s investigation reached the Gong family and ran into a dead end. To find out about your origins, that’s why he teamed up with Gong Hannian. I don’t know exactly how Gong Hannian discovered it later, but it was certainly through Gong Zhiming."

Leng Tou sighed, "He never spoke of these things to anyone, including me! But I kept it from him and conducted a private investigation, basically guessing his plan.
