After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

Chu Tian's words deeply shocked everyone present.

"Isn't Lan Shiping Old Master Lan's son?"

"That's unlikely! When Madam Lan was alive, she always treated Lan Shiping like her own son."

"Yes! Although Grandpa Lan did not treat everyone equally, how many fathers can be completely impartial?"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Lan Shiping was also confused.

"Am I really not the old man's biological son?"

However, Chu Tian was only guessing.

After all, Old Master Lan's treatment of people was far too different, making it hard not to speculate.

"Mr. Chu is right, Shiping is indeed not my son."

Just then, Lan Tianmu, who had just woken up, came out.

His complexion was rosy and his voice was full of energy; he had fully recovered.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shiping was stunned.

Lan Shize and Lan Yingying also looked completely incredulous.

"Dad, the second son..."

Lan Shize hesitated, his expression complex.

“I know you are all shocked, but in fact, Lan Shiping is not only not related to me by blood at all, but is also the son of my father’s killer.”

Lan Tianmu is known for his outrageous and unpredictable words, which often startle the world.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

It's one thing if Lan Shiping isn't Lan Tianmu's son.

It turned out to be the son of his father's killer.

In other words, Lan Tianmu raised his father's child for decades as the person who killed him.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Lan Shiping clenched his fists and asked through gritted teeth.

If he is indeed the son of Lan Tianmu's father's killer, then Lan Tianmu's differential treatment is understandable.

Furthermore, Lan Tianmu possesses a heart as vast as a river.

Few people would raise the son of their father's killer.

Therefore, if this is true, then everything he did makes him seem even more ungrateful and worse than a beast.

Lan Tianmu's face also revealed intense hatred. He said in a deep voice, "When you were a child, I could tell that you were a narrow-minded and extreme person. So I tried to send you away more than once, but Liu Mei insisted on keeping you each time."

Liu Mei is Lan Tianmu's deceased wife and the biological mother of Lan Shize and Lan Shiping.

However, Lan Shiping's biological father is someone else.

Forty years ago, Lan Tianmu, from an ordinary family, came to Yunnan Province alone to make his way in the world.

Relying on the tenacity of Northeasterners, they quickly established a foothold in Yunnan Province.

As everyone knows, in that era, you had to be ruthless to gain a foothold.

Lan Tianmu slowly carved out his own territory with his fists.

But this also offended many people.

Among them was a local underworld leader nicknamed "Flower Knife".

Because Lan Tianmu had taken away a lot of his territory, he took the opportunity to retaliate, kidnapped Lan Tianmu's father, and prepared to force Lan Tianmu to leave Yunnan Province.

Lan Tianmu was unwilling to accept this, so he sent someone to mediate between them.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred along the way. Lan Tianmu's father resisted fiercely, which aroused the anger of the guard, who accidentally killed him.

The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

Lan Tianmu quickly led his men, preparing for a decisive battle with Hua Dao.

At this time, Liu Mei, a socialite in Yunnan Province, appeared.

She was the most beautiful woman in Yunnan Province and also Hua Dao's mistress.

At the same time, she was also the benefactor who helped Lan Tianmu make a name for himself in Yunnan Province.

It was with Liu Mei's help that Lan Tianmu got to know some big shots, and with his ruthlessness, he developed rapidly, surpassing the power of Hua Dao.

Rumors circulated that Lan Tianmu's actions, which targeted Hua Dao and went to great lengths to defeat him, were actually for Liu Mei's sake.

Indeed, this was the case. From the moment Lan Tianmu first saw Liu Mei at the dance hall, he was already deeply attracted by her beauty.

Lan Tianmu made a vow in his heart at that moment that no matter how long it would take, even if it took him his whole life, he would marry Liu Mei.

Later, he did indeed succeed.

It was only when he was avenging his father and had Hua Dao cornered that Liu Mei used marrying Lan Tianmu as a bargaining chip to save Hua Dao's life, thus winning Lan Tianmu's heart.

There was no way around it; he simply loved Liu Mei too much.

So much so that he could forget about the murder of his father.

However, Liu Mei's beloved was Hua Dao.

Even though she married Lan Tianmu, her heart still belonged to Hua Dao.

Later, Liu Mei gave birth to Lan Tianmu's child, Lan Shize, who became his eldest son.

Three years later, Liu Mei became pregnant again and gave birth to Lan Shiping.

But this child is a flower knife.

When Lan Tianmu learned the truth, he felt like the sky had fallen.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to Liu Mei, but in the end, he still failed to win her heart.

Enraged, Lan Tianmu ignored Liu Mei's attempts to stop him and killed Hua Dao.

Although Liu Mei was heartbroken, she knew that she had gone too far and had watched Hua Dao die in front of her.

Then, Lan Tianmu also wanted to kill Lan Shiping.

It was Liu Mei who disregarded everything, threatening suicide and promising to be Lan Tianmu's dutiful wife in the future, that gave Lan Shiping a chance to live.

However, Lan Shiping's existence has always been a hurdle for Lan Tianmu.

But because of Liu Mei's wholehearted devotion, Lan Tianmu gradually let go of his hatred.

Fifteen years later, Liu Mei died of illness. Fearing that Lan Tianmu would harm Lan Shiping after her death, she sought out a Miao shaman to curse Lan Tianmu.

If he dares to harm Lan Shiping, he will suffer a terrible death.

Lan Tianmu was utterly heartbroken, but Liu Mei was already dead, and there was nothing he could do.

They could only allow Lan Shiping to exist.

However, seeing the son of his father's killer living a good life in front of him every day, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Therefore, over the years, he has only provided Lan Shiping with food.

Lan Shiping was not eligible for any of the important positions in the Lan Group.

This also planted the seeds of hatred in Lan Shiping's heart, making him believe that Lan Shiping was biased and causing him to become extreme.

Past events resurfaced.

The Lan family members were all furious and wished they could tear Lan Shiping to pieces immediately.

Lan Shize's eyes were also filled with intense hatred.

Only now does he know the truth.

For Lan Shiping, the brotherly affection that was once so strong as to face death vanished instantly.

The hatred of killing one's own family is irreconcilable.

Chu Tian was also shocked by the truth of the matter.

He had only guessed before, but he never expected that Lan Shiping was actually not Lan Tianmu's son.

Furthermore, the two have a deep-seated blood feud.

Although Lan Shiping was unaware of this, Lan Tianmu raised him nonetheless.

The kindness of raising and nurturing is greater than heaven.

"hehe!"

Lan Tianmu suddenly laughed, a laugh that was more desolate than ever before.

"I thought it was this old man being biased, but I never expected it to be the result of the previous generation's actions."

"My birth was not an accident, but it was the most regrettable thing that happened to me."

"I hate you so much. Why did you give birth to me when I was living under someone else's roof? Why did you make me live my whole life burdened by the sins you committed?"
