*Flashback continued*
That one night changed everything. Their relationship took a new turn. Xiao Fan and Yu Tengfei started going out.
She regained the smile that she lost. She regained her color. When Grandma came to know about their relationship, she was very happy for her granddaughter. After all, Xiao Fan had suffered a lot during her first heartbreak, and now a new love came knocking in her life.
Then one day, Xiao Fan realized that she was pregnant. Grandma was ecstatic. She said that this was the perfect time to get married, and Xiao Fan shyly agreed.
But contrary to their expectations, Yu Tengfei disagreed.
“Xiao Fan, I’m really happy for us. But…can you give me some time?”
She was a little disappointed.
“I still have a lot to do in my career, and I want us to be together when I achieve that stage.”
After much discussion, she reluctantly agreed. The first few months passed by fairly smoothly. Until one day, when Xiao Fan’s Grandma returned from her trip to China with a grave face. She refused to say anything, but she became adamant on one thing, which shook Xiao Fan to her core.
“I want you to marry Huo Shen,” Grandma said.
“What?” She was bewildered.
Huo Shen was her close friend who had studied with her in high school and university. They were very good friends, but then they drifted apart when he went abroad for further education.
“But you know about Yu Tengfei. Why are you suddenly asking me to marry to Huo Shen?”
But Grandma didn’t explain herself. Naturally, Xiao Fan refused. Grandma started pressurizing her more and more.
“Enough, Grandma! I thought you love me. But you are forcing me to marry someone whom I don’t love!”
Xiao Fan tried to talk to Huo Shen. They were good friends, so she hoped that he would agree to end the alliance.
“Shen, please understand. I love someone else. We are also going to marry soon. He has promised me.”
Silence.
“I cannot change her decision Xiao Fan. Please don’t reject her wish.” Huo Shen said after a long silence.
Xiao Fan tried to contact Yu Tengfei many times, too, but, he stopped responding. His trips to Japan stopped completely. Then one day, with a heavily pregnant stomach, she set off to China. She couldn’t wait anymore.
Grandma was shocked to find her room empty. She tried to reach her phone but to no avail. In the end, she sent a message.
‘Huo Shen will meet you in Beijing. Stay with him.’
After a week, Xiao Fan finally returned to Japan, carrying a baby girl with her. But there was no happiness on her face. She looked like a broken doll. She looked empty.
“I will marry Huo Shen.” She plainly said without much emotion, not explaining anything about the reason for her sudden change in decision.
Grandma stared at her and simply nodded.
But soon, Grandma’s condition worsened. She wanted to see them get married before she died, and they did. Huo Shen came to Japan, and they got their marriage certificate. Xiao Fan became Huo Xiao Fan.
Grandma couldn’t hold on for much longer and soon passed away. And with that, Huo Xiao Fan with her daughter Zhilan and Huo Shen, returned to China. There she met Huo Shen’s son from his late wife, Huo Liwei, for the first time.
Life went on until one day, three years later, Huo Xiao Fan saw Yu Tengfei with a woman in Sunshine orphanage. She had gone there for a different reason, but instead, she saw them adopting a child.
The same girl…
She couldn’t believe her eyes. Even in these three years, she never left the hope that maybe one day, Yu Tengfei would contact her again to give answers, but it never happened.
Suddenly, their gazes met, and he was stunned. But, she saw how he didn’t follow her. She silently gave a mocking smile and went away. That night was the worst night for her. She drunk to the point that she collapsed. But, Huo Shen handled her.
But it didn’t end there.
A few days later, Yu Tengfei came to meet her.
“Xiao Fan, please listen to me.”
“What should I listen!?” She looked at him in hatred. “So that is why you left me. Because you already had another woman.”
“She is not my wife.” He said in haste.
Huo Xiao Fan looked at him, stunned. “What?”
“Yes. She is a friend I know, but in an accident a few years back, she became mentally unsound. That is why she thinks of me as her husband. If I try to tell her the truth, then she flips out and tries to harm herself. I thought you would misunderstand our relationship, so I never told you about her.”
“I cut off contact with you because she got doubtful of my trips to Japan, and she became more hysterical. She even tried to commit suicide. I had no choice. Her treatment is going on, but she refuses to co-operate without me. She wants me by her side every time. I couldn’t just abandon her.”
“So, you abandoned me?” She cried.
Yu Tengfei looked distraught. “I didn’t want to, but I had no choice! She made it impossible for me to go anywhere without her.”

Yu Tengfei had so convincingly spun the lies that Huo Xiao Fan believed him. For Yu Ichika, they were married, and she couldn’t bear a child, so she insisted on adopting one.
After how Huo Xiao Fan suffered during her first heartbreak, she didn’t want to know once again that the man she fell in love with never had loved her back. That once again, she was left behind. She was too torn apart.
So, Huo Xiao Fan believed him.
And she began to hate Yu Ichika. She snatched Tengfei away from her. She lost him because of her. And because of her, she had to marry someone she didn’t love.
But now, there was nothing she could do.
“It is useless now. I’m married.” She couldn’t go back to him.
Yu Tengfei smiled sadly. “I’m sorry. I understand. But at least, once in a while, can I meet my child?”
She stiffened. But she thought about it and nodded.
Yu Tengfei didn’t introduce himself as her father in front of Zhilan, but they still grew close. And every time Huo Xiao Fan saw them together, her heart would clench in pain.
The happy family that could never complete…
She hid the love deep within her heart that she felt for him. But at least, sometimes she could see him like this, happy with Zhilan, and that was enough for her.
Time went by, and apart from Zhilan, they would not talk much, but she still held feelings for him.
But those reservations broke one day when she came to know that Yu Tengfei committed suicide. The whole earth shook beneath her feet. They were not together, but she could still see him and talk to him, but now he was dead…
He would never come back.
Now she had lost him for real and for good.
When she came to know that he molested Nana, she threw that thought away in a second.
“Nonsense! Tengfei is not a man like that. Zhilan is his daughter too! But he never tried to harm her. Why would he do anything to Nana!?”
She refused to believe the truth. And just like Yu Ichika, she also blamed Nana for his death.
Nana, Nana, Nana! Why is she always the cause behind my miseries!
That night too and then again ten years later!
Yu Tengfei’s death broke all her barriers.
Now, Huo Xiao Fan wanted only one thing.
Revenge.
Revenge from Yu Ichika and revenge from Nana.
She had suffered enough all these years. But now she won’t suffer anymore. Now, she wanted the culprits to pay the price for their mistakes. Now, she won’t remain silent.
She would wage war.
And so her plan began…
*Present*
Everybody was utterly stupefied with the revelation. Coming to know this side of Yu Tengfei had taken them by shock.
But there was a crucial thing that needed to be told.
Yukito gritted his teeth. “I can’t believe Dad would stoop so low, but I tell you our mother, Yu Ichika was always mentally sound!”
Huo Xiao Fan snorted. “She is in a mental institution. What more proof do you want?”
Yukira angrily said, “That was after his death! But she was always normal. And what do you mean by she ‘thought’ that they were married! They were always married in reality! Dad lied to you!”
“Tengfei would never lie to me!”
Nana said, “No, you are wrong. Dad and Mom were married.”
“Yu Ichika is mentally ill. What she said is just lies that she has spun for herself.”
Jinhai said, “I knew you wouldn’t believe us.”
He took out a red booklet and threw it on her side.
“Read.”
Huo Xiao Fan was furious with his rude behavior. She picked up the red booklet and opened it.
She froze.
There were Yu Tengfei and Yu Ichika’s photos, showing the date of their marriage and the official seal.
