"Ever since I returned to City Z, I have heard quite a few rumors about my wife and my daughter Fei Fei..."
Ling Xiang Nan gripped Ling Fei's hand, explaining to the guests in the villa with a bitter smile.
"I know that many of you have doubts in your hearts; Fei Fei is, indeed, not my biological daughter!"
A tightness seized Ling Fei's heart.
She gently pursed her red lips.
"She is also not my wife's daughter. My wife and I once had a daughter who was about the same age as Fei Fei, but she passed away just a few months after she was born. I tried everything I could to save her life, but still failed."
In front of everyone, Ling Xiang Nan eloquently narrated Ling Fei's background.
Turns out, Ling Xiang Nan's wife had been seriously injured during her pregnancy—a result of Ling Xiang Dong's doing.
Later, they managed to save his wife's life and the child's as well, but the baby was born prematurely and was in poor health, and that injury irreversibly damaged his wife's body.
