Chapter 360: Shi Ran Learns That Sheng Hanyu Is Her Daddy

Wang Bingbing sat back down: "Rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised you. Your daughter is doing very well right now, not a single strand of hair is missing."

"But I'm curious why Shi Ran is your daughter. It's one thing that she doesn't take your surname, but you don't even dare to acknowledge her? What kind of hidden story is there here?" She looked full of gossip.

"None of your business, let her go."

"Mr. Sheng, it wouldn't hurt to tell me. You will thank me. Don't forget that only I know where your daughter is."

Is this a threat?

Probably.

Sheng Hanyu thought she was going to play tricks, and his expression had already become very ugly.

But since his daughter was in Wang Bingbing's hands, he could only compromise. Besides, this wasn't something that couldn't be said.

So he said: "I did something in the past that let her mother down, so her mother didn't want the child to acknowledge me."

"That's not right, is it?" Wang Bingbing said: "The truth I learned isn't like that. The matter between you two back then was just a misunderstanding. It was Shi Youxuan who was narrow-minded and wouldn't let it go, it wasn't your fault at all."

"It is my fault. Are you done asking yet? If you're done, let her go." Sheng Hanyu's heart was entirely on the child; he didn't want to waste time with Wang Bingbing.

But she wasn't finished yet: "Besides, even if it was your fault back then, so many years have passed, why is Shi Youxuan still not letting it go? Ranran likes you so much, and you are the child's biological father, why not let her acknowledge you? Shi Youxuan is just being unreasonable." She kept speaking up for Sheng Hanyu, perhaps forgetting her own identity.

She hid someone else's child, and then, in front of the child's father, spoke ill of the child's mother?

Does that make sense?

Shouldn't she be negotiating terms, asking for money, or having Sheng Hanyu restore her reputation, instead of meddling in other people's family affairs?

But she was meddling, and she wouldn't stop talking.

"Shut up, I won't allow you to speak ill of Xuanxuan." Sheng Hanyu said with a cold face.

Wang Bingbing was best at reading people's expressions. The aura Sheng Hanyu was emitting now was very dangerous and full of killing intent; she could feel it.

"Fine, I won't say it then. I'll let her go." She stood up and walked upstairs.

Saying this much was enough.

Sheng Hanyu didn't expect her to change so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

The two arrived on the second floor. Wang Bingbing pushed open a pink door—there was a table, a chair, and a bed in the room.

Shi Ran was sitting upright on the chair, smiling brightly. There was a monitor on the table, and everything else was snacks and drinks.

Seeing that the child was safe and sound, Sheng Hanyu was finally relieved: "Ranran." He walked inside with long strides.

"Daddy—" The little one threw herself into his arms sweetly, smiling even more brightly.

Sheng Hanyu swore that this was the best-sounding address he had ever heard in his life, bar none!

He held his daughter and looked Shi Ran up and down, confirming that the child was truly as Wang Bingbing had said, not a single strand of hair missing.

Only then did he ask: "Ranran, what did you just call me?"

Shi Ran: "I called you Daddy. My daddy didn't die, you are my daddy. I heard it all just now." She said, pointing to the monitor.

Only then did Sheng Hanyu realize that there was surveillance in the living room, and everything he and Wang Bingbing said had been seen and heard by Shi Ran.

So he finally understood why Wang Bingbing hadn't let her go earlier, but instead dragged him into all that idle chatter!

It turned out that everything was to help him.

To help him solve a big problem.

He led his daughter away from the mansion. He didn't thank Wang Bingbing, but he noted this favor.

"Goodbye, Sister Bingbing." Shi Ran acted as if she were just visiting, not having been frightened at all.

Wang Bingbing stood at the door and waved at Shi Ran: "Goodbye, Ranran. You're welcome to come play at my place again next time."

There's a next time?

Just this one time had nearly scared Sheng Hanyu to death; let there not be a next time.

After getting in the car, the first thing Sheng Hanyu did was call Shi Youxuan to tell her that Ranran had been picked up, hadn't been frightened at all, and was doing very well.

Shi Youxuan cried with joy: "Really? Is this true? Let Ranran answer the phone."

Shi Ran took the phone: "Mom, why are you crying? I'm fine, don't worry. Daddy and I will be home in a little while."

Shi Youxuan: "Okay... Daddy?"

Her voice rose sharply, and Sheng Hanyu hurriedly hung up the phone.

The little one asked: "Daddy, you are clearly my daddy, so why did you lie to me and say my daddy was dead?"

Sheng Hanyu: "Because your mom didn't want you to know, and I didn't want to make her angry, so I had to lie to you. Can you forgive me?"

The little girl nodded readily: "Yes! It's all Mom's fault, not yours."

The daughter's favoritism was so obvious that Sheng Hanyu felt very gratified. He patted his daughter's head: "Good child, Daddy didn't dote on you for nothing!"

He was proud, happy, and overjoyed.

Sheng Hanyu hadn't expected that Wang Bingbing would actually use such a special way to do him a favor.

This solved his big problem, allowing his daughter to acknowledge him legitimately without him having to take the blame.

"Why doesn't Mom want to admit you are my daddy?" the little girl asked again.

Sheng Hanyu felt that this question shouldn't be answered by him.

He patted Shi Ran's head: "Daddy will take you home now. When we get home, why don't you ask Mom yourself?"

"Okay."

When they reached the entrance of the residential complex, they saw Shi Youxuan standing there waiting from afar.

The car drove up to her, and Sheng Hanyu opened the door. As soon as Shi Ran got out and threw herself into Shi Youxuan's arms, he stepped on the gas and drove away!

"Ranran, baby, let Mom see if you're hurt anywhere?"

Shi Youxuan didn't know that the expression on her face now as she saw her daughter was the same as the one Sheng Hanyu had when he first saw his daughter.

The same joy, happiness, and worry...

Joy that her daughter had returned, happiness that the child had been found so quickly, and at the same time, worry about whether the child had been abused, and whether being kidnapped at such a young age would leave a childhood trauma!

Because her attention was entirely on her daughter, Shi Youxuan didn't think much of Sheng Hanyu leaving as soon as he put the child down.

"No, Mommy, I'm perfectly fine. Why are you crying?"

"Hic—"

Shi Ran let out a hiccup: "Mommy, do you know how embarrassing you're being? We're at the entrance of the residential complex, people are coming and going, and you're crying like this; people who don't know better will think I'm bullying you."

The little girl used her small hand to wipe her mother's tears.

Her actions were very thoughtful, but her words were very stinging.

Shi Youxuan was still immersed in the immense joy of her daughter's safe return, so she didn't hold it against her too much.

She had checked carefully, and her daughter was indeed fine, just as she had said herself—perfectly fine!

Only then did she feel relieved, and she took her daughter's hand to head home.

Once relieved, she finally realized: "Ranran, what did you call him in the car just now?"

"Let's talk when we get home." The little girl was like Sheng Hanyu in this regard; she could keep her composure.

Shi Youxuan could not keep her composure; she naturally assumed that Sheng Hanyu had taken advantage of the crisis to rescue the child, and was using his merit to make her daughter call him Daddy.

"Liar."

"Doesn't keep his word."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had guessed the truth, and at the same time, the anger in her heart surged upward.

Although she was talking to herself in a very low voice, it was still heard by her daughter beside her.

Shi Ran chimed in: "Exactly, a liar, not a good person."

The mother and daughter were not talking about the same person.

But Shi Youxuan misunderstood; she thought her daughter was on her side, so she comforted herself by patting her daughter's head, her mood somewhat consoled.

After arriving home.

Closing the door, Shi Youxuan asked: "Ranran, tell Mommy, do you know who kidnapped you?"
