Angel looked at Shi Shenzhi, clearly not understanding what he meant by those words. She tilted her head, her expression full of confusion.

She remained silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice.

"Are you getting married? I heard from my classmates that her father remarried and then left her to live alone."

"His daddy has a child in his new family, so, Daddy, are you going to get married? And then you'll leave me to live alone in the manor, surrounded by servants every day, and never see you?"

She spoke fluent English, her expression showing a hint of disappointment, but more so, dissatisfaction.

She murmured.

"You haven't even found me a mother yet, how can you remarry?"

Upon hearing Angel's words, Shi Shenzhi smiled faintly, reached out and hugged Angel into his arms, speaking softly.

"I will not remarry, but I have found your mother."

"Your mommy won't live with me; she'll take you away from me."

He looked at Angel and said in a low voice.

"You have a Chinese name, Lin Jinjin."

When Angel heard the name, she tilted her head, completely forgetting what it meant.

She had no recollection of how she came to be by Shi Shenzhi's side or how she became Shi Shenzhi's daughter.

All she knew was that Shi Shenzhi was someone she could rely on, and that he had promised to help her find her mother.

She had forgotten everything about her mother: who she was, what she looked like, and so on.

Angel remained silent, observing Shi Shenzhi's current expression, and whispered something.

What kind of person is she?

Shi Shenzhi looked at Angel's face and slowly recounted Lin Qingran's story.

Although he and Lin Qingran only had a brief period of contact, it felt as if he had known her for a long time.

He used all the highest praise for a woman to describe Lin Qingran.

Only after he finished speaking did he suddenly realize that Lin Qingran had already taken root and sprouted in his heart.

Shi Shenzhi took a deep breath and, seeing that Angel's expression remained unmoved after hearing his words, asked in a low voice.

"what happened?"

Angel looked at Shi Shenzhi, her eyes slightly red, and said softly.

"If she's so wonderful, why doesn't she come looking for me?"

"She is not a good mother."

She paused for a moment and said softly.

"Daddy, I won't leave you. I will live with you forever."

Upon hearing Angel's words, Shi Shenzhi felt inexplicably moved.

He suddenly realized that the reason he didn't want Lin Qingran to come to Y country with him at the airport was because he didn't want to lose the child who had been by his side for five years.

Over the years, Shi Shenzhi has come to regard Angel as his own child, so he doesn't want Lin Qingran to take the child away.

Perhaps when he was with Lin Qingran, he had the thought of using the child to blackmail Lin Qingran into being with him, but the thought only flashed through his mind.

He reached out and ruffled Angel's hair, speaking softly.

"She has been looking for you, and she has been looking for you very hard. She is not a bad mother."

Shi Shenzhi wanted to say a few words in defense of Lin Qingran, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything more.

He even began to suspect that Angel was someone he had snatched from Lin Qingran.

That's why Lin Qingran hasn't been able to find Angel all these years.

If Angel knew that he was the culprit who had kept her and her mother apart for so many years, she would never forgive him.

Shi Shenzhi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with guilt as he looked at Angel.

......

capital.

Lin Qingran was taken back to the ward by Yan Sui.

Inside the ward, Lin Hao arrived at the hospital but couldn't find Lin Qingran. When he dialed her number, he discovered that her phone was still in the ward. Just as he was about to call Yan Sui, he saw Lin Qingran return from outside barefoot.

Seeing Lin Qingran barefoot, Lin Hao's eyes darkened, and he spoke.

"Where have you been?"

When Lin Hao spoke, he noticed that Lin Qingran's eyes were red and he frowned.

"Why are you crying?"

Lin Qingran's condition clearly indicated that she had just been crying.

When Lin Qingran saw Lin Hao, she held back her tears and said softly.

"Big brother, I might have news about Jinjin."

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Lin Hao's expression became even more serious.

Judging from Lin Qingran's state, it's clearly not good news.

He took a deep breath, trying to comfort Lin Qingran, but Lin Qingran said in a low voice.

"But Shi Shenzhi... Huo Ye doesn't intend to let me see her, so I can't be sure if the child is in his hands."

Lin Hao's expression turned serious upon hearing Lin Qingran's words.

"Huo Ye, you've arrived in the capital?"

If the child is in Huo Ye's hands, then who knows how Huo Ye has treated the child all these years.

After all, Huo Ye's mental state wasn't good.

Lin Qingran pursed her red lips and said softly.

"He has already left, saying that there was some problem with the child."

She looked at Lin Hao with anxious eyes and said softly.

"Brother, I feel like I've seen hope again."

Her voice was choked with emotion as she said this.

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Lin Hao's mood also became heavy, and he said in a low voice.

"Having hope is always better than having no hope."

After he finished speaking, he looked intently at Lin Qingran and then said in a low voice.

"Once we've dealt with things here, I'll go with you to find the child."

Lin Qingran nodded upon hearing this.

She was even starting to feel a little impatient to see her child.

Seeing Lin Qingran's excited appearance, Lin Hao frowned slightly. He then told Lin Qingran to lie down and rest, and asked Yan Sui to tell him what the situation was.

Yan Sui told Lin Hao everything he knew.

Lin Hao's expression turned grave after hearing this news.

Huo Ye did not do anything to harm Lin Qingran back in Beicheng.

However, because Lin Jinjin is Gu Moxuan's child, Huo Ye may have also planned to make Gu Moxuan and Lin Jinjin disappear from this world when he was dealing with Gu Moxuan.

If Lin Jinjin had been by Huo Ye's side for five years, he would still not know how she had managed to survive all these years.

Yan Sui noticed Lin Hao's worry and then said in a deep voice.

"Although we don't know what exactly happened to Huo Ye, it seems that Huo Ye has forgotten that he is Huo Ye and has now changed his name to Shi Shenzhi."

"But I can't be sure if he was deliberately pretending to be like that in front of Mr. Kobayashi."

Yan Sui paused for a moment, then said in a low voice.

"At the airport, Mr. Kobayashi suggested that he go to Country Y with him, but he refused."
