Chapter 1431 - 1448: The Secret That Has Always Been Hidden 4

Chapter 1431: Chapter 1448: The Secret That Has Always Been Hidden 4

This is all simply unbelievable.

"It feels like a movie," she murmured to herself.

"Yeah." Nangong Jinlie also shook his head. "But all of this is real. For so many years, Ling’er has always deeply loved his mother, and she loved him just as deeply, treating him like a biological son, never having another child. That, at least, is comforting."

Xia Xiaonuan still found it absurd.

Suddenly, something came to her mind, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Then... what about that man? That Blue... Nangong Yaoling’s mother’s former boyfriend? Was he caught?"

Nangong Jinlie said, "That man went home and learned that Nangong Xiaoyun wasn’t dead, but had caused the death of an innocent person. Maybe out of guilt, or perhaps out of fear, knowing he couldn’t escape, he committed suicide that very night."

Xia Xiaonuan took a deep breath.

For a moment, her emotions were a whirlwind. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like for Nangong Yaoling to learn that he was not the biological son of his parents, but an illegitimate child, and moreover... at the critical moment, his father abandoned his mother and soon after married another woman.

What kind of reaction would he have?

He was so proud and arrogant, he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle all of this if he knew!

However, the story seemed far from over.

Nangong Jinlie continued, "Do you want to know about the twins?"

Xia Xiaonuan was taken aback by the question.

Her eyes widened, and she muttered, "Didn’t you say the sister was taken away and sent to the Fox Orphanage? Then the other one..."

Because it involved Xiao’er and our Nangong Family, when the police investigated, I went to the scene.

In the apartment that man rented, I immediately saw the child."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan’s face suddenly turned pale.

She suddenly widened her eyes.

"No..."

"The child lay on a small bed, completely unaware of anything. But as soon as he saw me, he smiled so happily. He cried so hard, and no one but me could calm him down when I held him..."

"No...!" Xia Xiaonuan’s voice raised. She didn’t want to hear anymore, didn’t want to hear those dreadful and already blindingly clear answers.

However, Nangong Jinlie mercilessly continued.

"I didn’t know what came over me at the time, but I brought the child back. Yet for certain reasons, I couldn’t adopt the child myself, so I entrusted her to a business partner of mine, a businessman by the last name of Xia, to adopt. I knew they were eager to adopt a child."

Xia Xiaonuan covered her ears with her hands.

Tears poured from her eyes.

Even though her hands were over her ears, she still clearly heard what Nangong Jinlie said next.

"That child, having suffered so much, I named her Xiaonuan..."

Xia Xiaonuan trembled all over, moved her hands away from her ears, and looked up at Nangong Jinlie with blurred vision.

"Grandpa, you must be lying to me. This isn’t real, it can’t be..."

"Xiaonuan, but this is true. It was your father who killed Ling’er’s biological mother!"

Finally, Nangong Jinlie, relentlessly and coldly, spoke these raw, chilling words.
