Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

"Years ago, the terrible Oripathy ravaged the lower strata of Beloborg."

"The upper district was completely sealed off by the Silvermane Iron Guards, and the people of the lower district were shrouded in despair."

“You also contracted Oripathy at that time, and soon after you developed a high fever and were on the verge of death.”

Seele was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Yes, that's true."

"Back then, wasn't it Chief Oleg who took me to the clinic?"

"If it weren't for Dr. Natasha's timely treatment and the subsequent development of a vaccine, I would never have woken up again."

Oleg looked guilty: "Seele, there's something I've been keeping from you for a long time too."

"Actually, I wasn't the one who brought you to the clinic in the first place."

Seele: "Hmm?"

Natasha's expression was complicated: "Seele, you might not believe it when I tell you."

"Your father loves you more than anyone else."

"The person who took you to the clinic was your father."

"The vaccine they developed saved the people of the lower districts of Belleburg, and it was also my father who..."

Seele's beautiful eyes trembled slightly: "If it's really as you say..."

"Then why won't he see me? Is it so hard to see me even once?"

Su Jinyan covered her cheek in pain: "It was your mother who forced you to do it."

Seele was stunned: "My mom forced you to?"

Bronya pointed at March 7th and said angrily, "Yes, it was this wicked woman who forced it—"

March 7: "?"

Su Jinyan coughed lightly and said, "Bronya, you are not allowed to be rude to your stepmother."

"Why don't you apologize now? No matter what, March is still your benefactor who indirectly saved you."

Bronya, feeling resentful, gently bit her lower lip and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry, Mother... my lord..."

March 7th scratched her cheek, bewildered: "How did I become a wicked stepmother?"

Fu Xuan snorted and gave her a displeased look.

What do you mean by using the word "also"? Are you implying that I am malicious?

March 7th chuckled awkwardly, "Lord Fu Xuan, we didn't mean anything by it."

Hiluva seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that in the Star Train, this little stepmother actually had the highest status.

Ugh, this is giving me a headache. How did I suddenly end up with two stepmothers?

With Bronya's explanation, Seele finally understood Su Jinyan's unspeakable predicament.

Back then, in order to save me and Bronya, my father actually abandoned his dignity and knelt down to others?

Without my knowledge, my father had done so much behind my back.

It wasn't that he intended to abandon us, but rather that his "wicked stepmother" wanted him to cut off all contact with us.

I misunderstood my father...

Seele's fair face flushed red. She felt ashamed to death at the thought of all the hurtful things she had said to her father.

Su Jinyan looked at Xi'er with affection and opened his arms: "Xi'er."

"Let me take a good look at you. It's been so long. I didn't expect you to have grown so much."

Seele lowered her eyes, like a child who had made a mistake, standing there quietly without saying a word.

Natasha shook her head and chuckled. How come Seele, who used to be so dashing and spirited, was acting all coy and timid like other girls?

Su Jinyan took the initiative to walk over, hugged Xi'er, and comforted her:

"Don't be angry, my dear daughter. I was wrong before."

"But now I've come back to see you, haven't I?"

“Look, Belloberg is having a problem, and I’m here to help him.”

Seele raised her pretty face, her beautiful eyes filled with guilt: "Father..."

"I have just said so many offensive things to you without knowing anything about you."

"Please whip me hard, only then will it make me feel better."

Su Jinyan said guiltily, "No, Xi'er. I'm the one who should be whipped."

"If I had known you would suffer so much later, I would never have sent you to the orphanage."

"Please whip your father severely."

In the clinic, Su Jinyan and Xi'er were both begging each other to whip them hard.

Those in the know might say that the father and daughter are apologizing to each other.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Natasha's clinic had developed some completely new gameplay.

Jepard shook his head slightly. How should I put it? Compared to the stern and unsmiling father he remembered...

My father has really changed a lot these days.

The two continued arguing, but Jeppard caught a glimpse of a familiar blue figure flitting past the window.

Sambo Koski?

"Stop!" Jepard suddenly stood up and rushed out of the house amidst the puzzled looks of the others.

Sambo looked flustered and before he could escape, Jepard used a superb grappling technique to pin him to the ground.

"Sambo, what are you up to, lurking around outside the clinic like that?"

Sampo, who was pinned to the ground, begged for mercy: "Brother Jepard, how could you forget about me too?"

"I'm Old Sambo. We're all family. Let's not hurt our relationship."

Jepard frowned as he looked at Sambo, gradually loosening his grip.

"What, you're also Father's child?"

Sambo said with absolute certainty, "It's absolutely true, no doubt about it."

"I've been working with my father for many years. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Su Jinyan fell into deep thought; he hadn't changed Sang Bo's identity after all...

The people in Natasha's clinic came out one after another, and after seeing this scene, they all looked at Su Jinyan with suspicion.

Sambo is best known for dealing in ancient artifacts and committing fraud; his so-called "cooperation" is hardly a compliment.

Su Jinyan smiled slightly: "Children, do you believe me or him?"

“Sambo is indeed related to me, but he is not my son, but my nephew.”

“I had heard about Sambo’s actions before.”

"It's heartbreaking that he became a fraudster due to a lack of discipline."

Seele's pretty face darkened, and she rubbed her hands together in anticipation.

"Sambo, I never expected that such a disgrace as you would come from our family."

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father, you unfilial nephew."

Sangbo hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, no, Sister Xi'er, I was wrong, okay?"

"I've come to surrender, oh no, I have urgent business to discuss with my father."

"Pah, let's talk in detail with Uncle."

"Uncle, could you do Old Sambo a favor?"

After a moment's thought, Su Jinyan followed Sang Bo to a corner.

The distance was neither too far nor too close, allowing him to respond promptly should a messenger suddenly appear.

As soon as he reached the corner, Sambo couldn't wait to say:

"Uncle, I have a secret to making money to share with you. Let's do it together!"

Su Jinyan smiled enigmatically: "Brother Sangbo, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to pretend anymore, right?"

Sambo paused for a moment, rubbed his chin, and frowned as he asked:

"Oh dear, family, how did you know old Sambo was acting?"

"Am I, Old Sambo, such a bad actor?"

Sang Bo's acting skills are not bad, but Su Jinyan never intended to bring Sang Bo along, so she didn't assign him any identity.

Now look what's happened, this guy is coming up to acknowledge me as his father, who else would I suspect if not him?
