"I didn't expect... she was also an illegitimate child," Qiao Mo spoke softly.
Xu Wan nodded, "Actually, at the time, both Father and Grandma treated her well. But Father could never get over his inner hurdle, believing that her mother had designed the situation that led to Xu Qing's birth. So every time he saw her, it was as if she reminded him of the mistakes he'd made, and he preferred to avoid it."
"But in reality, Father cared for her greatly. After all, ultimately, she was his blood. When she ran away from home back then, Father sent people to look for her for a long time, and was even bedridden from illness, always having a heavy heart. It's just a pity, she always believed it was because of being an illegitimate child, she suffered."
Qiao Mo let out a breath, "I really didn't expect that I would have a blood relation with Aunt Xu."
