In the ward, Qian Tao and Gu Tong continued their conversation.

“Oh, right—why was Li Hengzhi the one who saved me?”

Wasn’t he supposed to be in the hall giving a talk?

“The headmaster brought him to see the newly-constructed area of the school, especially the man-made park, to prove that he did not just take the group’s invested money for nothing. Coincidentally, you were in the pond! Before we could even react, he jumped in.”

While Gu Tong was telling her the story, she nudged her and smiled. “Tao, I’m thinking, has Li Hengzhi fallen for you? When he jumped in to save you, he did not even hesitate.”

“You overthink,” Qian Tao replied. “If it had been another person, he or she may have done the same.”

“Not necessarily!”

Who knows?

Qian Tao pouted.

Now, not only was she his, she even owed him her life!

“Here.” He pulled out a piece of paper and passed it to him. “Qian Tao is the eldest daughter of the mayor?”

“Yes.” When facing his own uncle, Li Hengzhi’s appearance was gentler.

His uncle was the director of a private hospital under Rong Yao Group.

He looked at the words on the piece of paper and started to frown, “Uncle, this chemical name is…”

He had not studied medicine before but had read some articles and knew a little.

“I guess you know what it is? There isn’t anyone in the school who is against her, is there? Luckily, not much harm was done, with dizziness being the greatest harm caused. However, her luck wasn’t too good as she was standing beside the pond. Sigh! Teens nowadays…most students from this private high school come from eminent families and they are pampered princes and princesses. They tend to do things their way when things don’t go as they wish. It can’t go on like this. You’d better rectify the school spirit.”

Li Yunqing looked at his nephew while testing him. “I’ve heard from your mother that you are getting married? Surely it isn’t this Miss Qian?”

“Yes, it’s her,” Li Hengzhi replied while he continued to look carefully at the report.

Li Yunqing was about to speak but stopped and was caught by Li Hengzhi, who had just raised his head. “Were you about to say something, Uncle?”

He nodded. “Do you know Miss Qian’s origin?”

“What do you mean?” Li Hengzhi put down the piece of paper in his hand.

Could he be referring to her identity as the mayor’s daughter?

“Actually, Qian Tao is not Qian Chenhai’s biological daughter.”

“What?” Li Hengzhi was shocked.

He had never heard of this before.

Even if Yan Hai did not investigate deeper about Qian Tao, if this matter had not been discovered, it must have meant that it was very secretive.

Li Yunqing continued, “This happened many years ago. At that time, the mayor’s first wife was still alive. Qian Tao was still a little girl. After a blood test, I discovered that her blood type differed from her parents’, so I secretly discussed it with Qian Chenhai. He told me frankly that Qian Tao was their adopted child and wanted me to keep it a secret.”

Although Li Hengzhi was shocked initially, he became calm quite quickly. “So, Uncle, why did you tell me all these?”

“You are my nephew and this has something to do with your marriage, so I have to let you know. You know very well that if your mother gets to know about this, she will definitely object, and your father…”

Li Hengzhi’s brows were knitted into a frown. He interrupted, “Uncle, just consider that I haven’t heard anything today. Since Qian Chenhai wanted you to keep it a secret, then please don’t bring this matter up again.”
