Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Blood Ties Not Close?

Quan Chengyi’s words left Feifei lifting her head in surprise.

According to her expectations, it was already good enough that Quan Chengyi didn’t scold her harshly.

Unexpectedly, after he had reviewed the materials, he would utter such words.

Quan Chengyi, confronted with Feifei’s incredulous gaze, felt even more heartbroken.

This was his daughter!

His daughter had suffered so much, and it had not been easy to find her, yet he had to be so careful with her.

All this was the fault of him as a father!

"Feifei, what’s past is past, it was dad’s fault for not protecting you before, but not anymore, dad will definitely protect you well from now on."

As he spoke, tears uncontrollably fell, "Dad didn’t know you had suffered so much before, even without a way to help you, from now on, you’ll be dad’s little princess, and dad will make sure you become the happiest girl in the world!"

Feifei, filled with surprise, looked at him with added excitement, "Dad, you really don’t despise me?"

"Silly child, what are you talking about? Dad finally found you, how could I despise you? You are dad’s only daughter, if dad doesn’t cherish you, who else would I love?"

He said, with a tone that grew more determined, "Feifei, rest assured, from now on, no matter what you want, dad will give it to you."

Feifei said subconsciously, "Even if I want the stars in the sky?"

In fact, having experienced such worldliness, she no longer believed in men.

Isn’t there a saying, "A man’s mouth is a deceitful ghost."

Quan Chengyi was also a man, and even though he was her own father, that didn’t necessarily mean his words could be trusted.

Thinking thus, Feifei’s eyes already filled with resistance.

Seeing her expression, Quan Chengyi’s heart shattered into countless pieces.

"Feifei, don’t you believe dad?"

He said with a somewhat hurt tone, "If you don’t trust dad, dad can work hard to prove it, can you give dad a chance, please?"

Feifei, looking at his expectant eyes, quietly nodded, "Okay."

"Feifei, will you really give dad this opportunity?"

Quan Chengyi was visibly thrilled.

Feifei nodded, "I’m willing to, dad."

Quan Chengyi cried with joy, looking at Jinbei excitedly, "Did you hear that? Feifei said she is willing to give me this chance!"

Jinbei naturally heard, but he didn’t particularly care about the father-daughter relationship between Quan Chengyi and Feifei.

After all, Feifei was not his daughter, and his relationship with Quan Chengyi was not close.

However...

He could understand Quan Chengyi’s excitement.

Therefore, he did not display much impatience.

Shi Yaoguang was with him, patiently waiting for this father and daughter who had been reunited to calm down.

After Quan Chengyi regain his composure, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

His relationship with Jinbei was just an acquaintance.

If it weren’t for the identity of a distant uncle in the Quan Family, he wouldn’t have intersected with Jinbei at all.

In such circumstances, that the other party had helped him find his daughter and had been so patient, was enough to make him grateful.

Feifei, who had been with Mr. Pang, was also aware of Jinbei.

After the initial joy had passed, she couldn’t help but start to worry about her future.

It didn’t matter before when she didn’t know she was a young lady.

But now that she knew, Feifei felt that she absolutely couldn’t live the life she had before.

She had to fight for herself.

The hardships she endured in the past, she could no longer recoup.

But the future was something she could decide on.

Having been with Mr. Pang, she fancied herself to have some understanding of the upper class’s first and second generations.

Among these people, Jinbei was undoubtedly at the very top echelon.

It was out of necessity before, she had only Mr. Pang as an option, which is why she chose to stay by his side and become his mistress.

Now...

Her identity has been confirmed.

She’s not an orphan; she has a father.

And her father is from the Quan Family!

Even though he’s not from the main branch, he’s still related to Quan Jinbei.

Even Quan Jinbei has to call him Uncle!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

She couldn’t even control her breathing which became more and more hurried.

Quan Chengyi, watching his daughter’s happy expression, felt joy in his heart as well.

After learning about his daughter’s experiences, he was filled with compassion for her.

It was his failure to protect his daughter that led her to suffer so much for no reason.

In the future, he vowed he would never let his daughter suffer such grievances again.

His daughter, he would certainly spoil her.

No matter what she wanted!

As long as he could help his daughter get it, he would definitely not go easy!

...

After Quan Chengyi had made up his mind, he took his daughter and left.

Feifei was somewhat reluctant; she’d finally had a chance to interact closely with a man like Quan Jinbei and wanted to stay a little longer to make a good impression.

What if he took an interest in her?

Feifei, with this idea in mind, completely forgot that Quan Jinbei had seen her with Mr. Pang.

Not to mention, Quan Jinbei’s wife was still around.

It was also fortunate that Mr. and Mrs. Quan Jinbei were unaware of her thoughts, otherwise...

Heh.

Although Quan Chengyi did not notice Feifei’s thoughts, after leaving with her, he didn’t forget to enlighten her, "Feifei, if you ever run into Jinbei in the future, make sure not to provoke him, understand?"

Feifei looked puzzled, "Dad, why do you say that?"

She indeed had some interest in Quan Jinbei, but she was certain she hadn’t shown it.

Could it be that Quan Chengyi simply looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking?

Impossible.

She believed that, after all these years, she was matchless in discerning words and behavior.

Quan Chengyi, afraid his daughter might misunderstand his meaning, hurriedly said, "Dad didn’t mean that you have, just reminding you."

As he spoke, he subconsciously lowered his voice, "Don’t be fooled by his approachability just now, that’s a rare situation, he’s not someone we can afford to trifle with..."

Feifei puckered her lips, feeling a bit wronged, "But aren’t you his Uncle? Doesn’t he care about your face at all?"

"Why would he need to consider my face?"

Quan Chengyi felt no embarrassment admitting this, "It’s true that I’m his uncle, but we’re not on the same family register. At most, there’s just that layer of relationship—if you’re talking about closeness, there isn’t any."

When he said this, his intention was to tell Feifei not to think about relying on Quan Jinbei’s help.

However, Feifei focused on a different point.

Listening to Quan Chengyi’s words, she came to another conclusion.

That is...

"Dad, what you mean is, our blood relationship with him isn’t close?"

Quan Chengyi didn’t know why she was asking, but since she had, he answered.

"We do share a blood relationship, but it indeed isn’t very close."

Having said that, it was as if he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Feifei bit her lip, her voice soft and tender, "I was just curious~"
