After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 212 Interesting Background

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Interesting Background

Wei Lan had insisted on marrying Shi Rusong and had a huge argument with her father about it.

Wei Lan’s father was so angry that he harshly declared he would sever ties with her.

And that decision lasted for twenty years.

In those twenty years, Wei Lan had never received a single phone call from the Wei Family, and not even a word of greeting came during the New Year.

Even when the Wei Family emigrated overseas, Wei Lan received no word of it.

As a daughter of the Wei Family, she had learned of their emigration from others, not her own family.

Wei Lan had felt helpless and heartbroken.

But none of that helped the situation.

Once Wei Lan’s father had made up his mind to disown her, no amount of fuss she made was going to change anything.

She thought that she would never be in contact with her father for the rest of her life, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to call her.

She just didn’t know the purpose of his call.

No matter what her father’s purpose was, it was a good sign for Wei Lan.

Wei Lan thought to herself, if her father was willing to call her today, did it mean that he would be willing to accept her tomorrow?

And if not tomorrow, then the day after?

There had to be a day when it would be possible, right?

Soon, Wei Lan’s naive thoughts were defeated.

Because Wei Lan’s father had said one thing.

"I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for my granddaughter, Shi Yaoguang!"

Wei Lan felt a moment of disappointment upon hearing he wasn’t looking for her.

But she quickly rallied and said eagerly, "Dad, you still remember Qingqing? She’s right by my side now. Do you want to talk to her? I can let her—"

"What Qingqing?"

Wei Lan’s father interrupted her, "I’m looking for my own granddaughter, Shi Yaoguang!"

"What? What are you saying?"

Wei Lan was completely dumbfounded.

Looking for Shi Yaoguang? What for?

Wei Lan couldn’t accept it.

After twenty years of silence, her father had finally called, and he wasn’t concerned about her or the daughter she had raised, Shi Yiqing, but that unfavored daughter Shi Yaoguang!

How could Wei Lan’s father not know what Wei Lan was thinking?

In his whole life, Wei Lan’s father had only one daughter, Wei Lan.

It was just his luck that his daughter turned out to be disappointing...

With no other choice, he had to raise his adopted son, hoping to give his daughter a better life.

Yet to his dismay, his daughter turned out to be love-struck.

Falling for Shi Rusong, she was utterly determined to marry no one but him.

She even made a series of embarrassing scenes.

In the end... It was only because she went too far that Wei Lan’s father could bring himself to cut ties with his only daughter.

Unfortunately, reality isn’t based on hypotheses, and life has no what-ifs.

The fact was that Wei Lan was simply an unfilial daughter.

Because of her love-struck foolishness, she nearly caused the death of many people.

Even if only to give those people an explanation, Wei Lan’s father could never reconcile with her.

What’s more, in his eyes, his daughter Wei Lan was beyond saving.

After all, she had gotten what she wanted and had married Shi Rusong as she wished.

How her life turned out afterwards was not something for him, as a father, to worry about anymore.

Wei Lan’s father had given up on his biological daughter, but he never intended to completely stamp out her offspring.

After all, they were his own flesh and blood, and he had some affection for them.

Wei Lan’s father thought, when his daughter had a child, if the child was sensible, he wouldn’t mind lending a helping hand.

But man’s plans can’t compare to fate’s...

By the time he had settled all affairs of the Wei Family and cleaned up after his love-struck daughter’s mess, Shi Yiqing was already five years old.

Five years old was old enough to see a person for who they were.

Wei Lan’s father had imagined many versions of his granddaughter, hoping deep down that she would turn out well and not take after her mother.

It wasn’t until he actually met her that Wei Lan’s father realized just how wrong he had been.

Incredibly wrong.

His daughter was a hopeless romantic, and a daughter born to a hopeless romantic...

Was bound to be crooked from the roots up.

...

Wei Lan’s father had personally witnessed the Shi Yiqing incident, which Shi Rusong and Wei Lan were oblivious to.

Shi Yiqing herself had no memory of it either.

Therefore, when Wei Lan heard her father say he was looking for Shi Yaoguang, her face turned quite ugly.

"Dad, you’ve ignored me all these years, and the rare time you call me, it’s to ask about that scourge?" she said.

Upon hearing the word "scourge," Wei Lan’s father’s expression shifted subtly.

"What did you say?" His tone grew heavier, as though tinged with anger.

Hearing the anger in his voice, Wei Lan asserted, "That’s what you made me say! And it’s also my true feelings! Qingqing is my daughter; Shi Yaoguang has been cast out of our house!"

There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds.

Just when Wei Lan thought he might hang up the phone in anger, she heard sudden loud laughter coming from the other side.

If he were a normal person, he might get angry after hearing Wei Lan speak like that.

He might also develop resentment toward Shi Yaoguang.

But Wei Lan’s father wasn’t like that.

In his eyes, his daughter Wei Lan was already a lost cause.

To Wei Lan, Shi Yiqing was a good child.

But he had seen through the child’s nature a long time ago.

He felt that there was a big problem with Wei Lan’s judgement.

Every coin has two faces.

If the Shi Yiqing that Wei Lan favored was problematic, what about the child that Wei Lan slighted?

Wei Lan’s father had received the news the moment Shi Yaoguang was brought back to the Shi Family.

But he did not act immediately.

Firstly, he feared Shi Yaoguang might also be problematic.

Secondly, there seemed to be a voice in the back of his mind, holding him back, telling him not to think about these things.

However...

Even if Wei Lan’s father showed no outward actions,

he still kept a close eye on the Shi Family in secret.

He knew when Shi Yaoguang’s fiancé chose to cheat with Shi Yiqing, she went straight to Quan Jinbei and had a shotgun wedding with him.

He also knew that when Shi Yaoguang was framed by An Siqi, she cleared her name using the most forceful methods and even launched her own cosmetics brand.

He was aware of the incident where Shi Yaoguang and Shi Yiqing swapped their academic achievements.

Every single incident, Wei Lan’s father watched closely.

The reason he chose to act now was also deliberate.

But these were things he would never tell his foolish daughter.

Wei Lan, the romantic, was only fit to live her life clinging to the little she has with the Shi Family.

As for anything else, she had no need to know.

Moreover...

After learning that Shi Yaoguang was actually Wei Lan’s biological daughter, he had someone investigate Shi Yiqing’s background.

Recently, he received information suggesting that Shi Yiqing’s biological mother might also be related to the Shi Family.

This was still just a general direction, and the specifics were yet to be confirmed.

However...

The direction of Shi Yiqing’s background was almost certainly accurate.

It’s just unknown whether Wei Lan will be able to accept this disparity when the truth comes to light.

Wei Lan’s father thought about it and directly mentioned this matter to Wei Lan.

"Even if we’ve broken ties, I still want to remind you, out of regard for the fact that you are my flesh and blood," he said.

Wei Lan was somewhat angry, "There’s nothing to remind me of! I don’t need your fake kindness!"

Her father ignored her words and continued with what he wanted to say, "Your daughter is not the kind-hearted type; you’d better be prepared."
