Seeing Meng Yajing suddenly come in, Zhai Qintian didn't say a word. His eyes were as cold as ever, as if he couldn't see her.
Hearing this, Song Ge was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Zhai Cheng, who was standing at the door, finally summoned up the courage and walked into the room.
The originally quiet and cold room suddenly became crowded.
"What on earth is going on? All along, it was you who wanted to kill me?" Zhai Cheng couldn't believe it. His eyes were bloodshot as he loudly questioned.
Zhai Qintian seemed to have figured out that they had heard his conversation with Song Ge just now. He didn't hide anything either. "Since you all know, I have nothing more to say."
This was tantamount to admitting everything.
Zhai Cheng clenched his fists tightly. His facial expression twitched. "Why did you do this?"
He was the father he had always respected!
Zhai Qintian didn't say a word. He just sat down on the chair. His gaze rested on Meng Yajing, as if hinting at something.
Feeling the intense gaze, Meng Yajing shuddered all over and didn't dare to look up at Zhai Qintian.
Finally, she let out a sigh and showed a hint of determination.
"Back then, when the two families got engaged in a marriage alliance, I was forced by my family to marry Zhai Qintian. He was a son - in - law who moved into his wife's family."
Zhai Qintian's face looked ugly. After all, this wasn't a glorious thing. His expression was fierce. "Stop talking!"
Suddenly interrupted, Meng Yajing stood there stunned, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
"Go on." Zhai Cheng's deep voice sounded. His eyes, like those of an eagle, were fixed on Meng Yajing.
These were all things he had never known before.
Meng Yajing's voice choked. "Before I married your father, I had a first love. At that time, I was already..."
She didn't continue. Naturally, everyone present understood what she meant.
Zhai Cheng's pupils flickered for a moment and then turned cold. So, the reason his father had always treated him coldly was that he wasn't his biological son!
And the man he had called father for decades wasn't actually his father!
He took a step back and stared fixedly at Meng Yajing.
"No, no, this can't be true! It can't be!"
Meng Yajing lowered her head and didn't dare to meet Zhai Cheng's gaze. "I wanted to tell you, but I was just afraid of your current reaction. So..."
Zhai Cheng clenched his hands tightly. The veins on his hands bulged, and he remained silent.
Zhai Qintian's slender fingers circled on the table. His face was expressionless. "Since you already know, you should understand why I've treated you like this for all these years."
Actually, after that, Zhai Qintian had also tried to treat Zhai Cheng as his own son. But every time he saw his eyebrows and eyes, he would get angry!
"But, isn't the time we've spent together all these years not enough? Does one have to have your blood flowing in their body?" Zhai Cheng roared.
Zhai Qintian was instantly enraged. He casually picked up the cup on the table and threw it hard on the ground.
"Smash." The glass fragments exploded all over the place and scattered everywhere.
Song Ge was the closest to Zhai Qintian. The fragments hit her ankle all of a sudden. Blood slowly dripped down her foot to the ground.
Song Ge knew the atmosphere was very awkward at the moment, so she bit her lip and didn't make a sound, enduring the pain.
Zhai Cheng was now immersed in the fact that he wasn't Zhai Qintian's biological son and didn't notice that Song Ge's expression was strange.
"I've raised you for all these years! I've been quite polite not to kill you directly!" After a pause, "All these years, I've been raising someone else's son!" Zhai Qintian pointed at Zhai Cheng. His eyes were ablaze with fury.
Zhai Cheng glanced at Zhai Qintian. His pupils twitched, and no one knew what he was thinking. Before anyone could react, he opened the door and ran out.
There were still tears hanging from the corners of Meng Yajing's eyes. Some of them ran into her mouth, tasting bitter.
Watching Zhai Cheng's departing back, Meng Yajing felt extremely guilty. If she had been able to hold her ground back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.
"Song Ge, please go and check on Zhai Cheng for me. I'm afraid something might happen to him."
"Okay." Song Ge agreed. Her ankle was still throbbing with pain, but she still endured it and walked out.
The room was suddenly left with only Zhai Qintian and Meng Yajing.
All this didn't stir up any ripples in Zhai Qintian's heart.
"I know it was my fault back then, but Zhai Cheng is innocent. He had no choice."
"Humph." Zhai Qintian subconsciously let out a sound. He got up and walked in front of Meng Yajing. His slender hand pinched her chin, forcing her to look directly at him.
His eyes were fierce.
"Don't think that only Zhai Cheng is suffering. Am I not?" Everyone was living in pain.
Perhaps, that marriage back then was a mistake!
Meng Yajing, who had always had a gentle image, suddenly shook off Zhai Qintian's hand. "If you hurt Zhai Cheng again in the future, I won't let you off!"
After Song Ge came downstairs, she didn't see Zhai Cheng's figure. She thought he must have left the villa, so she dragged her painful leg and quickly went out.
Just as she reached the villa's entrance, Song Ge saw the familiar car right in front of her.
Her mind went blank. Her body had already reacted. She rushed onto the road and stood in the middle, closing her eyes.
The man in the car was in extreme grief. Suddenly seeing someone appear in front of the car, his fingers turned white as he tightly grasped the steering wheel. His foot quickly stepped on the brake.
The car stopped a few meters away from Song Ge.
Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhai Cheng quickly opened the car door and started scolding. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Only he himself knew that at that moment, his heart was dead. If something really happened to Song Ge, he would never forgive himself.
Seeing Zhai Cheng so angry, Song Ge knew her actions might have been a bit extreme. But thinking of what Meng Yajing had said, she felt so sorry for him.
She took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and hugged Zhai Cheng.
The man who had been scolding Song Ge non - stop suddenly felt a warm embrace. His body instantly stiffened.
"I'll be with you." Song Ge gently patted Zhai Cheng's back.
Zhai Cheng subconsciously pushed Song Ge away. Without saying a word, he got into the car and drove away.
Song Ge endured the pain and chased after him, but accidentally fell to the ground. Her knees rubbed against the ground, and it hurt badly.
Through the rear - view mirror, Zhai Cheng happened to see Song Ge fall and immediately stopped the car.
"Are you a pig?" Zhai Cheng was so angry that he seemed to be spitting fire, but his hands gently helped Song Ge up.
Only then did he notice that Song Ge was not only injured on her knees but also on her ankle. Obviously, the wound wasn't caused by the fall.
Suddenly, his mind became alert. He recalled what had happened in the room just now.
"Why didn't you say anything?" His tone was reproachful.
