Chapter 1213: Chapter 1217: Don’t you want to see your granddaughter? Chapter 1213: Chapter 1217: Don’t you want to see your granddaughter? Gong Xue’er said, “Uncle and Auntie don’t want to see me, but don’t you want to see your own granddaughter?”

A single sentence left the entire hall deathly quiet.

Lu Haotian’s eyes suddenly contracted like a leopard’s.

A dangerous gleam seemed to stretch across his facade.

Yet his expression remained unchanged.

In fact, he had already guessed Gong Xue’er’s intention.

Since she had revealed her identity publicly, she surely wasn’t going to let things go easily.

It was just that this woman kept mentioning the child in front of him.

How ludicrous.

Did she truly care about the child?

The child was merely a pawn for her to achieve her goal.

Their child was nothing more than part of a plan she had designed and arranged from birth.

Or to be precise, from that time on, she had set a trap.

Now, she was simply ready to spring it.

Lu Zhenghai and Chang Xinru were utterly stunned, seemingly unable to react.

After a long time, Chang Xinru said, “What are you talking about? What granddaughter?”

Gong Xue’er seemed to have been waiting for someone to ask this question.

A smile curled at the corners of her mouth, “I bore Haotian a daughter, who has been raised on Haotian’s side. She must be four years old by now. Haotian didn’t tell you, did he?”

Chang Xinru was still in disbelief.

She was stunned for quite a while before turning her head to ask Lu Haotian, “Haotian, is this true? What exactly is going on? Do you have a daughter?”

Lu Haotian stared intently at Gong Xue’er.

His expression was chillingly cold.

Inside his black eyes, tumultuous clouds seemed to roil, unpredictable and foreboding.

Gong Xue’er quite enjoyed this gaze.

Finally, Lu Haotian was willing to really look at her.

Throughout her teenage years, she was like an invisible person, always standing behind this man.

Watching him smile, watching him play basketball, watching him shower Xia Yangyang with endless affection.

He lived under the sunlight, shining like gold, his gaze was rebellious but bright and carefree.

Like an eagle soaring across the sky, spreading its wings with each feather seemingly imbued with the radiance of freedom.

That was her youthful palpitation and adoration.

He was the cloud in the sky.

And she was the mud in the swamp.

But she had sworn, one day, she too would ascend to the clouds.

She wanted to stand higher than any of them, to look down upon all living beings.

To press all those who had looked down upon her beneath her feet.

She had now achieved it.

Gong Xue’er’s eyes shone with arrogance, “Lu Haotian, why aren’t you speaking? Don’t you dare to admit it?”

Lu Haotian spoke at last, “Yes, I have a daughter… but she has nothing to do with you.”

Chang Xinru nearly collapsed into the chair beside her.

She beat the back of the sofa, heartbroken and anguished, “What a calamity, a true calamity.”

She had so wanted a child.

To think that the child was already four years old and she hadn’t even met her.

And to think that this child was Gong Xue’er’s.

What sort of injustice was this, what sort of debt?

Actually, ever since that incident, after Lu Haotian and Yangyang split up, Lu Haotian had devoted himself to his career and had never been involved in a romantic relationship again.

This had always been a sore point between her and Lu Zhenghai.

Indeed, if Lu Haotian had taken a liking to any girl, no matter what her family background, as long as she was virtuous, they would not oppose it.

But unfortunately, he became entangled with this girl again.

Therefore, Chang Xinru’s heart was extremely conflicted and complex.

Yet since the child was born, it was really improper of Lu Haotian to have kept it a secret for so long.
