At that moment, Mo Chou said to Tang Yurou, "I’ve been looking for you for so many years. I’ve finally found you, my daughter. Come back with me!"

"Who are you?" Tang Yurou asked curiously. Weren’t her parents dead? Why did this man claim to be her father?

"I am your father," Mo Chou said. "You might not be able to accept it, but that’s alright. Once you’ve read these documents, you’ll understand everything."

Mo Chou handed the documents to Tang Yurou. She glanced at Ye Fan and only accepted them after receiving an affirming look from him.

When she saw the contents of the file, she was utterly shocked. Everything about her, from childhood to the present day, had been thoroughly investigated. The documents slipped from her hands and fell to the ground as tears streamed from her eyes. She couldn’t accept any of this.

At that moment, Mo Chou spoke again. "Your real name is Mo Yurou, and your true identity is the heir to Fenghua International!"

"No, I am not the heir to Fenghua International. I have my own life and my own role. No matter who I was in the past, that’s all over now. Let’s just consider this a fresh start!"

Mo Chou thought he could tempt Tang Yurou by mentioning Fenghua International, but he was wrong. He had gravely underestimated her. If Tang Yurou were truly the kind of woman who loved money, she would not have transferred the entire twenty percent share left to her by Su Jianguo to Su Qingxue. Thus, not even the allure of Fenghua International could entice her. She didn’t want to acknowledge her past.

"No, you are the heir to Fenghua International. If you don’t inherit it, the business we’ve struggled to build for all these years will be snatched away by others," Mo Chou said urgently.

"It was never mine to begin with, so what does it have to do with me if it’s taken away?" Tang Yurou retorted.

"Shut up! What good is staying here, commuting every day and being bossed around? How much can you possibly make in a year? But if you inherit Fenghua International, you’ll possess wealth that could rival a nation!" Mo Chou rebuked.

"In your eyes, money is everything, but to me, it’s the least important thing!" Tang Yurou said through her tears. "You don’t understand me!"

Tang Yurou immediately pushed open the door and fled. Ye Fan followed right after her.

Mo Chou hadn’t expected such a scene, and he felt his heart sink. Could it be that I really can’t win my daughter back?

Su Qingxue said, "Mr. Mo, if you truly want to win your daughter back, you should use genuine emotion, not such superficial things. Everyone has a different personality and different preferences. What you care about isn’t necessarily what she wants."

After hearing this, Mo Chou seemed to understand something. He said to Su Qingxue, "Thank you! Regarding Yurou, I hope you can help me persuade her!"

"I am her close friend. Whatever she decides, I will support her," Su Qingxue stated.

Mo Chou and his bodyguards returned to their booked hotel. He was heavy-hearted, at a complete loss as to how he could win Tang Yurou back.

Ye Fan chased for a long while before finally catching up to Tang Yurou. It wasn’t that he was too slow to catch her; rather, he wanted to give her space to release her pent-up emotions.

The two of them sat by the seaside. "What should I do?" Tang Yurou asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Follow your heart. Whatever you do, I will support you," Ye Fan said at once. At this moment, he was the man who could give Tang Yurou the most encouragement, and he knew just what to say.

"I don’t know what to do!" Tang Yurou said in a panic. "I want to forget everything from the past, to pretend none of it ever happened!"

Ye Fan understood what she meant; she didn’t want to acknowledge it. He said to her, "Do you really not want to see your parents? Maybe they truly miss you. Don’t let this current confusion become a future regret."

Previously, Ye Fan might not have supported Tang Yurou in meeting her parents or acknowledging this, but his thinking had changed. Perhaps my own mindset has shifted after returning from the Ye Family.

Tang Yurou looked at Ye Fan and said, "I want to see them too, but they think I’m just after Fenghua International’s property and money. I don’t care about any of that at all!"

"I know you don’t care," Ye Fan said. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

Looking at Ye Fan with a complex expression, Tang Yurou said, "Honey, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go see them, but I’ve grown to love my life in Jiangning."

"Good. I’m here for you. No matter where you go, I’ll protect you," Ye Fan said, pulling her into a hug.

The next day, Tang Yurou arrived at the company. This time, Mo Chou had lost the arrogant demeanor from the day before. Upon seeing her, he said, "Yurou, it was my fault. I’ve been immersed in the world of business for so long that I started to see everyone as being driven by greed.

"I’m sorry. True emotion is far more important than money. Your mother is gravely ill, and she desperately wants to see you and apologize. Please, come back with me.

"Whatever path you choose for your future, I will support you! We wronged you. Even if our hands were forced back then, we still made a terrible mistake," Mo Chou said, full of guilt.

Tang Yurou nodded. "I’ll go back with you, but you must not interfere with my life afterward."

"No, we won’t interfere," Mo Chou said. "Actually, I also have your adoptive parents to thank for treating you like their own daughter." His voice was laced with dejection as he added, "Sadly, I still arrived a step too late."

Thinking of her adoptive parents, Tang Yurou’s memories were still vivid, even after so many years. They were the best parents she could have ever asked for. She could never forget all the little moments from her past with them.

Su Qingxue was thrilled to see her close friend finally reconcile with her long-lost parents. The sight, however, was bittersweet, a poignant reminder that she was forever separated from her own parents by death, which made her melancholic.

Then, Mo Chou finalized the return trip, and of course, Ye Fan would be accompanying Tang Yurou. Tang Yurou turned to Su Qingxue. "President Su, why don’t you join us for a little vacation?"

Su Qingxue smiled. "No need. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You just go ahead! I’ll handle things at the company."

"Thank you, sister!" Tang Yurou said gratefully.

This was the first time in years she had called her that, and perhaps it was a sign of their bond deepening.

Su Qingxue was deeply gratified. Yurou has finally grown up and learned to handle things decisively on her own.

On a luxury cruise liner bound for North America, Mo Chou and Ye Fan met alone.

"Are you Tang Yurou’s boyfriend?" he asked Ye Fan.

"Yes, that’s right," Ye Fan answered directly, without denying it.

Previously, Mo Chou would have certainly asked Ye Fan his price to leave his daughter. Now, however, he had no such intention, because he had promised Yurou he wouldn’t interfere in her life.

Instead, he said to Ye Fan, "Then promise me you’ll take good care of her. Our Mo Family is already facing numerous internal crises. When Yurou returns this time, there will certainly be people scheming against her from the shadows. Your skills are excellent. I hope you can help me protect her," Mo Chou requested.

"You don’t have to ask," Ye Fan said. "I would protect her regardless and never let her come to any harm."

At that, Mo Chou asked, "Could it be that you’re not an ordinary person either?"

"I just move in the ordinary world," Ye Fan replied.

At this, Mo Chou finally understood. Given Ye Fan’s impressive strength, his background must be formidable.
