Chapter 1190: Tragic Death
These were not what Leng Jinchen wanted to hear at all. She could not accept the looks of disdain from the high-ranking executives of the company and kept shaking her head.
“No, no! You must be telling me this because you’re trying to straighten things between me and Lil Rui after knowing that I’ve been harping on Lil Rui. I’m your biological daughter! How could I not be? If I’m not your biological daughter, why did you allocate 15% of the company’s shares to us? Why would there be anyone as idiotic as that?”
Selina had kept her silence and deliberately ensured that her presence had a minimal effect on the people around her. However, when she found out that the kindness that the Leng family’s grandparents had, and that they adopted the Leng sisters and gave them 15% of the company shares as dowry, she was reminded of what happened to her. How dare Leng Jinchen say something so disgusting after knowing all that?
When Selina was five years old, she still lived a rather happy life with her father even though they were poor. However, her father had fallen ill and was very sick. Since he was worried about her, he dragged his sick body over to Emperor District and found Gu Mingyan, Selina’s mother. He begged Gu Mingyan to take Selina in, but what had her mother said then?
Selina still remembered Gu Mingyan’s words down to the single pronunciation. “Palmer, are you out of your mind? Back then, when I insisted on having an abortion, you were the one who begged me to keep the baby. At that time, you promised me that you wouldn’t look for me again after giving birth to this child or I’ll never let you off easy. Are you really making this request right now? Don’t you know that I’m already married? I have a son and a daughter!”
Selina’s father insisted on fighting for Selina. He said, “Do you think that I didn’t know about you still going to the hospital for labor induction although you promised me to keep the baby? Yet, the doctor told you that the baby was already eight months old. Even if you induced labor, it would still have a serious impact on your body, and you might not be able to conceive again in the future. That’s why you spared Selina’s life. Gu Mingyan, it was you who fell in love with me back then. I didn’t beg you to like me. After that, I’ve accepted it in silence when you refused to marry me after you got pregnant. No matter what, Selina is your daughter. Can you bear to see her sent to an orphanage?”
However, Gu Mingyan slapped her father’s face and told him to shut up fiercely.
“If you dare say that Selina is my daughter again, do you believe that I’ll make sure that she can’t even reach the orphanage?! Palmer, I hope this is the last time you and your daughter come to me. I also hope that you can tell Selina the severity of the matter after you’re gone. I will never acknowledge her as my daughter, so please don’t come to me no matter what happens between you and her. Otherwise, I have my ways to make both of you disappear! I mean what I say!”
With that, she slammed the door in their faces and left.
After that, Selina’s father fell to the ground in pain.
Selina threw herself next to her father and hugged him, trying to ease his pain, but her father cried apologetically to her, saying that he had failed to provide her with the basic necessities in life; that he failed her. He also said that after he died, she should go to the orphanage and never come back to look for her mother. She must never let herself be in danger. No matter how difficult life got, she must work hard to survive in this world.
After that night, his father’s condition worsened. He passed away two days later in that extremely horrible motel.
She knew that she should go to the orphanage, but she could not bear to leave her father, so she stayed with him. It was not until five days later, someone smashed the door open and sent Selina, who nearly fainted from hunger, to the hospital…
