I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 326: Is He a Real Father or an Impostor?
Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Is He a Real Father or an Impostor?
A middle-aged man stood in front of Suizi, his broad forehead and strong eyebrows suggesting authority. He was impeccably dressed, a clear example of leadership.
It wasn’t Yu Jingting...
Suizi sighed softly.
She really missed him. She would think of him even when she nodded off.
"Do you need anything?" Sensing that the man was a bit too close for comfort, Suizi asked politely.
"Suizi," the man started, his voice unexpectedly hoarse, as if he had been suppressing it for a long time.
"Do I know you?" Suizi squints slightly, instinctively nudging herself away from him.
"You may not know me, but I know you. Do you still like the gift I sent you?"
The man’s smile disappeared in the sunlight. Suizi couldn’t make out his expression, but a thought slowly surfaced in her mind—
"Are you Fan—?"
"I’m Fan Gao. Perhaps your mother might have mentioned me."
"No, your name is more ominous than I imagined."
This unusual response from Suizi made the man raise his eyebrows in amusement.
"Oh?"
"By my reckoning, your name ordains strife, especially for ears. Have you been inclined to cut your ear lately?"
This statement from Suizi left the man visibly puzzled.
"I have no clue what you’re talking about."
Suizi looked down and remained silent.
"Do you still like the gift I sent you earlier?"
"Why did you send me a ’jade stone’?" Suizi ventured.
"Because I am your father, your biological father."
"Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Suizi forced a smile while her eyes began to dart around.
Life would be so much better if Yu Jingting were here.
After all, she’s just a helpless woman...
The firearms at home aren’t by her side, nor is there a kitchen knife.
Suizi’s gaze fell on the grass behind the man, where a brick lay.
Suizi decided almost instantly about what to do next, while the man continued to eye her nonchalantly.
His gaze fell on her protruding belly and his eyes glimmered.
"You’re due soon, aren’t you?"
"What’s it to you? I need to leave now." Suizi got up to leave, but the man grabbed her arm.
"I truly am your father. It was my mistake in the past, and now I want to make amends to you and your mother."
"No need, I am doing okay." Suizi pushed him away, took a step back and watched him alertly.
"Don’t misunderstand me, I have no other intentions, I only want to look after you. Your husband is now dead, and your mother-in-law and sister-in-law are without a means of livelihood, how will you support them all by yourself?"
"What are you getting at?" Suizi listened as he recounted her situation so accurately, even knowing about Yu Jingting’s accident.
This led her to speculate that this man had been observing her for quite some time.
She had just called her mother, and during the call, her mother hadn’t mentioned anything.
This indicated that the man was doing all of this behind her mother’s and possibly even the Fan family’s back.
Yu Jingting not being around and her mother being far away in Beijing, Suizi realised she was left to her own devices.
"With your husband’s family fallen from grace, one should always face reality. Your man is dead, there is no need for you to provide for his family. Why not return to Beijing with me? As your father, I will assure you a good life."
"Why should I believe you?" Suizi asked.
"Just because a random man jumps out and claims to be my father, I perceive it as an insult to my mother."
Suizi moved towards the lawn, the man followed her, trying to persuade her.
"You and your mother have a strained relationship, don’t you? Come with me, I will show you a picture of your mother and me together."
"Hey, look over there. Isn’t that my mom?" Suizi pointed ahead.
As the man turned to look, Suizi seized the opportunity to grab the brick and with all her might, struck the man’s head.
With her qi sinking to her dan tian, she screamed loudly:
"Help! I’m being taken!"
To her surprise, the pregnant Suizi had attacked him. Caught off guard, he was hit, and blood began to trickle down.
Hearing her call out about a kidnapping, an enthusiastic crowd swiftly surrounded them.
"You all misunderstand, I am her father! I am her real dad!"
"I don’t know him! And listen, does he speak in our northeast official language?" Suizi’s words won unison from the crowd.
Indeed, the accent didn’t match.
Local dialects were undoubtedly a form of identification. The fear he was a fraud intent on kidnapping her, speaking in Beijing dialect, stirred anger in the crowd.
A few enthusiastic young men grabbed him, intent on taking him to the police station.
"Suizi! I will find you again! I am really your da—Ah!"
An enthusiastic young man kicked his leg and in a thick northeast accent said: "If you’re her dad then I’m your second uncle, let’s go!"
Suizi successfully escaped and expressed her gratitude to the crowd.
"Young lady, you look like you are due soon, how come there’s no one accompanying you?" a kindly old woman asked.
Suizi shook her head in despair, not saying a word.
She should be basked in the constant care of Yu Jingting. If he were home, he would never allow her to be alone at the hospital.
That man, who pretended to be her father, would not dare to deceive her so openly either.
Whether this man was really called Fan Gao or not, Suizi did not know.
But what she did know, was that this man was certainly not the one sending her packages.
Chen Lijun and Yu Jingting conned her together, lying that all the presents were sent by Chen Lijun.
But Suizi had seen through their lies long ago and suspected that the gifts were sent by an man from the Fan family who had a past relationship with her mother.
Suizi didn’t call out Yu Jingting’s well-intentioned lie, but she was aware of the situation.
The man claiming to be her father said the gifts were from him.
But Suizi only probed him once, and he immediately revealed himself.
The first gift she received was a large yellow croaker from the Republic of China era, the second one was a clam which held a pot of pearls.
There was no jade stone at all.
Moreover, Suizi made a pun based on his name, and he didn’t even understand.
The pronunciation of Fan Gao was the same as Van Gogh, a painter who cut off his own ear due to mental illness. Anyone who studied art would understand this reference.
Although Chen Lijun was reluctant to disclose who Suizi’s biological father was.
From her elusive hints, Suizi speculated that her biological father might have been someone her mother met while they were studying painting together.
Without much effort, Suizi managed to probe out that he was an impostor.
Considering the dream she had during her nap, the two cute radishes warned her that someone wanted to dig radishes...
Suizi’s hand rested on her belly. Unnerved by the recent scares, the two little guests inside her appeared to be quiet today.
"No one dares to touch you as long as Mommy is here." Suizi’s eyes were determined.
This impostor probably came to target her belly.
Maybe the Fan Family was up to something again, eyeing her lifespan, as well as the child in her belly.
Suizi decided to call her mother again at her aunt’s house. Regardless of the ill-intentioned set-ups, she would never let them succeed.
Yu Jingting wasn’t home, she had to be strong.
