"Shen Subing, let me tell you! If it weren't for..."
Xuan Yuan Rou's voice trembled with emotion, and her heart felt heavy. The possibility that her father was still alive was like a flicker of hope in the midst of despair.
"Why do you insist on this? You know how much I long to see him again. But if he were alive, why wouldn't he come back?"
Shen Subing took a deep breath, determined to convey her feelings. "I believe my father's words. He would never deceive me about something like this. There must be a reason your father hasn't returned. We need to find out the truth together."
Xuan Yuan Rou's expression softened for a moment, but the pain in her heart was still palpable. "What if you’re wrong? What if this just leads to more heartbreak?"
"I would rather face heartbreak than live in ignorance. We owe it to ourselves to seek the truth," Shen Subing replied passionately.
At that moment, Tan Yun, who had been quietly observing from the side, stepped forward. "Xuan Yuan Rou, you are not alone in this. If there’s even a slight chance that your father is alive, I will help you find him."
Xuan Yuan Rou looked at Tan Yun, her heart racing. "You would really do that for me?"
"Of course," Tan Yun said earnestly. "We are friends, and friends support each other."
Tears welled up in Xuan Yuan Rou’s eyes, but this time they were tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Tan Yun. I don’t know what I would do without your support."
Shen Subing smiled, seeing the bond between her friends strengthen. "Together, we will uncover the truth. No matter what happens, we will face it as a team."
With renewed determination, the three of them resolved to embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of the past, hoping to reunite Xuan Yuan Rou with her long-lost father.
"What qualifies you to meddle in my relationship with him?"
Xuan Yuan Rou was not a saint. From her perspective, she truly did not want anyone to interfere in her matters with Tan Yun.
Likewise, although Shen Subing was understanding, it did not mean she would let herself be scolded.
"You question my qualifications?" Shen Subing said coldly, "Fine, then listen carefully!"
"I don't care how affectionate you were with Tan Yun in the past, but you need to understand, you have no right to speak about me!"
"Because I am Tan Yun's only wife from the past, the woman who knew marrying him would mean death, yet resolutely broke off relations with my father to marry him!"
"Why do I have no right to speak? How do I not have the right?"
"Even now, I am still Tan Yun's wife, who has taken the marriage vows!"
Seeing Shen Subing furious, Xuan Yuan Rou clenched her delicate fists tightly, "You willingly married him knowing he was a disaster, didn't you?"
"I knew all too well, but I still chose to be with him, unafraid of death, and insisted on marrying him!"
At this moment, both women, Xuan Yuan Rou and Shen Subing, were truly furious.
The other women, including Dantai Xian'er, also saw Shen Subing so enraged for the first time.
"And also!" Xuan Yuan Rou said coldly, "What if you were once his wife? Did you bear him children?"
"I admit I haven't." Shen Subing replied coldly, "But so what?"
"So what?" Xuan Yuan Rou retorted, "You haven't, but I have! I bore him a daughter..."
Before she could finish her sentence, it seemed Xuan Yuan Rou realized she had let something slip and quickly fell silent.
At that moment, Tan Yun, who was heavily injured, could not care less about persuading the two women to stop arguing. The words "You haven't, but I have! I bore him a daughter!" kept echoing in his mind!
Thinking of his daughter, Tan Yun stood up shakily, his eyes wide open, staring at Xuan Yuan Rou, "Rou'er, what did you just say? We have a daughter? Is this true?"
Excitement!
Tan Yun was incredibly excited at that moment!
And Shen Subing, along with Tang Mengyi and the other wives of Tan Yun, were all moved!
On the other side, Xuan Yuan Hao Kong, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, Xuan Yuan Ling Er, and Chu Xiaosa were also overwhelmed with emotion.
