“He Maozhen isn’t cut out to be a government official at all. If he had really controlled a region, I’m afraid the people there would suffer.”

When Ning Tao mentioned what had happened back then, he was still agitated. “Old Master He originally had three sons, but two of them passed away. He clearly knew that He Maozhen wasn’t cut out for it, but he still insisted on bringing him in. It’s just that his actions have never been exposed.

“It was too difficult for us to catch him.

“Back then, he was running for the same position as Big Brother. I really couldn’t stand it… So…”

Old Master Fu took a deep puff of smoke. “So you reported that He Maozhen didn’t abide by family planning and abandoned his biological daughter. That person was you.”

Ning Tao lowered his head. “I’ve always felt very ashamed about this. I actually used a child to achieve my goal.

“I also had my own selfishness. When I followed Big Brother Fu, if he couldn’t be promoted, it would also be disadvantageous to me. I was very selfish.”

Ning Tao was very straightforward.

“I don’t feel any guilt toward the He family in this matter. It’s just that Manxi…” Ning Tao looked at Yu Manxi, who was sitting at the side without saying a word. “I didn’t know the He family were such beasts. After bringing her back, they didn’t treat her well.

“I thought that even a vicious tiger wouldn’t hurt its cubs. Besides, she’s their biological daughter, and she’s been wandering outside for so many years, so they definitely had to treat her well.

“If I had known that I would cause her so much pain, I wouldn’t have exposed this matter back then. Manxi, I let you down! I’ve always wanted to try my best to make it up to you and tell you the truth. I’m ashamed!”

Yu Manxi had already guessed some of this and didn’t seem surprised by what he said.

Instead, Song Fengwan took a deep breath. Initially, she also found it strange that the Ning family took such good care of Yu Manxi. She wasn’t from the circle and lived overseas.

The Ning family was also a prestigious family in the Beijing circle. Back then, Yu Manxi and Ning Fan were from completely different worlds…

The Ning family was involved with the Fu family. Indirectly speaking, they were also in opposition to the He family. There was no reason for them to treat Yu Manxi specially.

… Unless Ning Fan had thoughts about Yu Manxi from the start.

With this explanation, everything seemed to make sense.

“If I had known the He family would do those beastly actions and abandon you overseas, I really wouldn’t have done it!” This matter was Ning Tao’s sore spot. “I’ve always wanted to tell you…

“But I didn’t know how to start. You called me uncle and said that I’m like your father!

“I’m ashamed! All these years, I’ve often dreamed of your appearance when you first arrived in the capital and the scene of you boarding a plane overseas alone. I couldn’t sleep…

“I was the one who brought you all your suffering all these years. If I hadn’t been too selfish, although you would still be in the countryside, your childhood might have been peaceful and happy!”

As Ning Tao spoke, he actually got up and wanted to kneel down to Yu Manxi…

“Uncle Ning!” Perhaps because Yu Manxi recalled the past, she blushed and hurriedly stopped him. “I don’t blame you. Really, it’s not your fault…

“This is all my personal fate. Besides, I’m very happy with Sinian now. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to come back, and I might not have met him.

“Who knows if it’s a blessing or a curse…”

When Ning Tao heard that she didn’t blame him, the eyes of this man in his fifties instantly reddened.

“Manxi, if you don’t dislike your uncle and aunt, we want to acknowledge you as our goddaughter. Can you get married from our family?” Mrs. Ning, sitting at the side, stood up and said.

“Auntie has always liked you a lot. Your uncle and I only have one son, and we have always wanted a daughter.

“You know very well what kind of situation our family is in. We’re not a rich family, but if you get married, we can give you what others have and let you have a complete and beautiful wedding. In the future…

“Our family will be your support. When you miss home, you can also think about us.”

Actually, all these years, the couple had been secretly concerned about her. They even knew better than the He family how she had lived overseas.

They knew too well, so their hearts ached even more.

To them, they had already treated her as their biological daughter from the bottom of their hearts, but they couldn’t appear too radical and enthusiastic, afraid that she would see through something. They were always careful…

They had also paid attention to the farce at the He family’s filiation banquet. Ning Tao was so angry that he wanted to settle scores with the He family, but he wasn’t qualified!

What was he? Nothing!

Yu Manxi thought that she was invincible, but Mrs. Ning’s words made her eyes red.
