"Are you threatening me?"

Lin Zhentian looked at Xu Tian with a half-smile, but the coldness in his eyes was already evident.

"You see it as a threat, so be it. In any case, I will not allow anyone to hurt her, including you, her biological father!"

Xu Tian's eyes sharpened. He didn't move, but a sudden gust of wind seemed to rise around him, causing his clothes to flutter loudly.

He stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Lin Zhentian, I, Xu Tian, ​​swear to protect her for the rest of my life. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to harm her in the slightest is my enemy!"

"So what if he's her biological father? I will protect her and will not allow anyone to harm her in the slightest, under any pretext!"

After saying this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura rose to its peak.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhentian was taken aback at first, then smiled wryly.

"Why do you think I wanted to hurt her?"

"Back then, I truly had no choice in the matter."

Xu Tian sneered, "Just because you have no choice, you can abandon your own daughter for thirty years?"

"Your suffering wasn't caused by her, so why should she have to bear it now?"

Seeing that he was pressing Lin Zhentian with every question, he didn't know how to explain.

Xu Tian added, "Since you already have a biological daughter, there's no need to acknowledge Chu Lan as your daughter."

"What if I don't?"

Although Xu Tian is the son of the Xu family, Lin Zhentian still wants to compete for Chu Lan's affections.

He is already sixty years old. His biggest regret in life is that he was unable to see his wife again back then, nor was he able to witness Chu Lan grow up.

Since he decided to come to Jiangcheng, he must have been determined to make up for his regrets.

“Then you are welcome to give it a try!” Xu Tian said without hesitation.

Just as the two were exchanging harsh words and arguing fiercely, a weak voice caught their attention.

“Xu Tian, ​​your father really had his reasons back then…”

Lin Wan'er walked out of the room with a haggard face, followed closely by her attending physician.

He had just extracted the essence of the blood lotus and developed an antiserum protein, which woke Lin Wan'er up.

Overjoyed, Lin Zhentian quickly went over to help Lin Wan'er sit down.

"Silly child, the poison is so strong, why did you get up as soon as you woke up?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine now, and I feel much stronger."

Then, she looked at Xu Tian.

"I never intended to harm her; you're just over-dramatizing!"

Upon seeing Lin Wan'er awaken, Xu Tian couldn't help but smile.

"I'm your savior, how can you talk to your savior like that!"

Although Lin Wan'er is still somewhat weak, her inherent pride remains.

She snorted coldly, adopting an arrogant and condescending attitude.

"So what? I didn't beg you to save me!"

"Hey, you..."

"Besides, you're the one who poisoned me, so you should help me find the antidote."

After a series of words, Xu Tian couldn't gain any advantage from her.

"Fine, fine, I won't argue with you. Say whatever you want."

Xu Tian waved his hand, deciding not to argue with her anymore.

"Thank you anyway, I know the place you went to was very dangerous..."

The awkward and stiff apology that came out of her mouth made Xu Tian feel a little uncomfortable.

It was rare to hear something nice from her, and although it felt awkward, it was still quite comforting.

It seems that Lin Wan'er is not an ungrateful person; she's just been spoiled!

"Alright, you're fine. My mission is complete. I'm leaving."

Xu Tian patted his behind and prepared to leave.

Lin Wan'er called out to him at this moment.

"I haven't finished talking to you yet, you're not allowed to leave!"

Xu Tian turned around, looking puzzled. "What's wrong? I just praised you, are you trying to act up again?"

"you……"

Lin Wan'er's face turned ashen with anger. "I'm a patient, for goodness' sake! Can't you even speak properly?!"

"Then why don't I talk to others like that? You should really reflect on yourself."

Xu Tian laughed heartily.

Seeing his straightforward and naive demeanor, Lin Wan'er decided not to argue with him.

Having narrowly escaped death, she had gained a clearer understanding of some things. Since her father wanted to make up for the regrets of his youth, and she didn't mind having another older sister, she thought she should ask Xu Tian for help.

But before he came out, he heard Xu Tian's stern warning to his father not to acknowledge Chu Lan, and he still panicked a little.

That's why I came out to explain to Xu Tian.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm leaving." Xu Tian looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Wan'er glared at him. "Of course something's wrong!"

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er slowly stood up. "Come back to my room with me! I need to talk to you alone."

Xu Tian was so angry he laughed. He almost lost his life and he was still so arrogant.

However, he didn't intend to hold a grudge against her. After all, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and even if he were the most oblivious person, he wouldn't choose to go against Lin Wan'er at this time.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian pouted and pretended to be unwilling as he followed Lin Wan'er to her room.

Why won't you let my father acknowledge Chu Lan?

Lin Wan'er asked the question knowing the answer already.

Xu Tian was taken aback, then said, "Because I don't think he's a good father."

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er sighed and recounted how Lin Zhentian was trapped in Korea by her grandfather and how he couldn't return.

Moreover, he was indeed unaware that his first wife was pregnant at that time.

After hearing all this, Xu Tian rehearsed it countless times in his mind.

How would you break the deadlock if you put yourself in Lin Zhentian's shoes?

But as it turns out, no matter what he thought, it seems that only by sacrificing Lin Zhentian could they have achieved what is arguably the best possible outcome today.

For a moment, Xu Tian became hesitant and uncertain.

He didn't know whether he should let Chu Lan know the truth. After all, he still harbored resentment over Lin Zhentian's decision to let Lin Wan'er attack Chu Lan.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er explained, "All my actions have nothing to do with my father."

“I’ve been spoiled since I was little, and I’ve always had whatever I wanted. He just wanted me to try to accept Chu Lan as my older sister.”

Xu Tian looked at her and asked, "So, have you accepted it?"

Lin Wan'er bit her lip, stubbornly and arrogantly saying, "What do you think? You've seen my methods before!"

"If I really wanted to pierce her heart with a thousand snakes, I wouldn't have waited for you to come!"

Xu Tian was even more puzzled, "Then what is your purpose in doing this?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes. She couldn't very well tell him directly that she wanted to know who his true love was!

"Mind your own business!"

Xu Tian was displeased. "I can ignore your business, but this involves the people around me."

"Then you're not allowed to interfere. Anyway, they weren't hurt. I was the one who almost died. Do you want to kill me and destroy my spirit?"

Lin Wan'er's sharp tongue struck again.

Xu Tian clicked his tongue twice, "Since you've already accepted it, why go against the Xu Group!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes.
