After work, I drove straight to my old house. My father was sitting at the dining table in casual clothes, constantly picking vegetables for Su Ye's bowl. Su Ye looked at the piled-up bowl and couldn't help but express her gratitude.

It felt like my footsteps were held back by something. My nose tingled, making me reluctant to break this beautiful scene.

It was Zheng Jie who noticed me first:

"Madam?"

My father looked up at me, perhaps noticing the redness in my eyes. He unusually didn't say anything but quietly ate his meal in my line of sight.

"Tan Tan, come to my study." My father pushed the bowl forward, stood up, and reached out to touch Su Ye's head, his tone gentle. "Take your time, Ye Zi."

I sat face to face with my father, and I unfolded the known story, but the situation was too complicated, and I didn't know where to start.

My father broke the silence first, with an unquestionable tone: "Su Ye is my granddaughter."

"How did you know?" My throat felt a bit sour.

"Because she looks like you, more than Liu Xuanxuan. Also, you wouldn't easily send someone to me." As he spoke, my father handed me a parchment bag with a paternity test inside.

Looking at the 99.99% match between me and Su Ye, my tightly stretched heart finally collapsed, wetting half a pack of tissues on my father's coffee table with tears.

He gently patted my shoulder, poured me a glass of water, and showed great patience regarding my secret.

"Dad, I am a reincarnated person." I knew I couldn't fool him, so I chose to confess. Even my astute father couldn't help but be stunned.

I sniffed and continued, "In the last life, you said Su Ye looked like me, and that night you unexpectedly passed away. In your will, you divided the shares between me and Liu Xuanxuan."

Hearing the mention of the will, my father's face became solemn, and he listened more and more attentively.

"Liu Xuanxuan accused Su Ye of stealing the necklace you gave her. I was furious and drove Zheng Jie's family out of the house."

"On her coming-of-age day, I gave her my share as a gift. She then handed it over to Liu Jingliang, completely kicking me out. That's when I found out that Liu Xuanxuan is Liu Jingliang's daughter from his first love, and my daughter, Su Ye, was driven out by me." "

"On my way to find Su Ye, the brakes failed, and when I blinked, I returned to this time."

My father seemed to be attending a storytelling session. He just held my hand tighter and tighter. I held his hand back and looked into his eyes. "This time, I will definitely protect Su Ye and protect you."

My father suddenly stood up, took out his phone, and dialed a number. His voice resonated in the spacious study like a bell:

"Lawyer Zhao, I want to modify my will."

There's no need to be in such a hurry...

The next day at the company, I handed my father a request for an audit.

Tang Xin said that last time, Liu Jingliang gave her three million. It was just a one-time payment, and she didn't know how much money he had given her before that, openly or secretly.

And I knew very well that Liu Jingliang didn't have that much money at all. I just didn't know if he had reached his hand into the company's accounts.

The office door was knocked, and Liu Jingliang walked in, looking displeased:

"Tan Tan, is there a problem with the company's accounts?"

He was clever. Instead of asking me directly, he first distanced himself from the issue in his words. I was too lazy to deal with him, and at that moment, the phone rang.

He looked over, seeing an unmarked number. I gestured for Liu Jingliang to wait a moment and answered the call.

As I listened to the message in my earpiece, my gaze gradually turned cold. I forcefully broke the pen tip:

"Miss Fang, the sample you sent contains ergotamine diethylamide."

A hallucinogen.

Every little thing turned out notto be as simple as it seemed. There was a hidden layer of complexity and deception that I couldn't have anticipated. The pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, revealing a darker truth behind the scenes.

"Liu Jingliang, it seems there's a lot we need to talk about," I said, my voice filled with a mix of anger and determination.

Liu Jingliang's face paled as he realized that his carefully constructed facade was beginning to crumble. He stammered, "Tan Tan, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Save your lies for someone who might believe them," I retorted, my voice icy. "I know about the ergotamine diethylamide you've been using."

He tried to maintain his composure, but the fear in his eyes betrayed him. "You have no proof."

"Oh, I have proof, and I have someone who can testify against you," I said, a hint of satisfaction creeping into my voice. "You see, Miss Fang, the one who analyzed the sample you sent, is more than willing to cooperate with me."

Liu Jingliang's face contorted with rage and desperation. He lunged towards me, but I stood my ground, unflinching.

"You think you can ruin everything I've worked for?" he shouted, his voice filled with venom.

"No, Liu Jingliang," I replied, my voice calm but firm. "I'm not here to ruin you. I'm here to expose the truth and protect what's rightfully mine."

He seemed taken aback by my response, his anger momentarily replaced by confusion. "What are you talking about? What's rightfully yours?"

"My daughter," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "Su Ye is my daughter, and you took her away from me."

Liu Jingliang's eyes widened in shock, and for a moment, he was speechless. Then, a cruel smile spread across his face.

"You're delusional," he sneered. "Su Ye is my daughter, and there's nothing you can do to change that."

I felt a surge of anger rising within me, but I forced myself to remain calm. I had to stay focused and not let his provocations distract me.

"We'll see about that," I said, my voice steady. "I have evidence that proves Su Ye is my biological daughter."

With that, I handed him the paternity test results that my father had given me. Liu Jingliang glanced at the paper, his face turning pale.

"This... this can't be true," he muttered, his voice trembling.

"Believe it or not, it doesn't change the fact that you've been lying and manipulating everyone, including Su Ye," I said, my voice filled with determination. "But it ends now. I won't let you hurt her anymore."

Liu Jingliang seemed to be at a loss for words. He realized that his web of lies was unraveling, and there was no escape.

Just then, the office door swung open, and Su Ye entered, her eyes filled with confusion and concern.

"Mom, what's going on?" she asked, her voice trembling.

I looked at my daughter, my heart filled with both sorrow and determination. "Su Ye, it's time for the truth to come out. I'll protect you, no matter what."

As the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, I knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy. But I was prepared to face whatever challenges came my way to ensure that justice was served and my daughter's happiness restored.
