Chapter 404: Sister Man is the Yellow Sparrow, the Praying Mantis Hunts the Cicada with the Yellow Sparrow Behind
Hu Fangqin was awoken by the father and daughter’s argument and stood at the doorway, eavesdropping.
By the end, she could no longer bear it and twisted the doorknob, only to find the door was locked. Angrily, she knocked.
The father and daughter inside were startled.
Jiang Rou opened the door and saw it was Hu Fangqin, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing Hu Fangqin, Jiang Yueping immediately scolded, "Can’t you knock more quietly? Who are you trying to scare?"
"Guilty consciences fear even the slightest knock!" Hu Fangqin’s eyes blazed, "I heard everything you just said. You cannot let out the secret that Manman is not our daughter!"
Recently, the old man’s health had been slowly improving. These past days, she had stayed by his side and thought back to the past.
There was nothing her family had shortchanged her in, but rather it was she, as a daughter, who had been disappointing, infuriating her father to the point of paralysis. Twenty years had passed without seeing each other, and by the time they met again, her father had already aged greatly, his temples graying.
During this time, she constantly reflected upon herself, continually recalling the past.
Sadly, there is no cure for regret in this world.
