Billionaire's Secret Twins and Rebellious Wife-Chapter 692: The Process of Yan Xinxin Being Saved 18 Years Ago

He couldn’t wait to know, to find out what kind of situation his little princess had encountered back then.

Even Mu Jingheng didn’t have the courage to look at the cliff in front of him. It was so high, roughly fifty or sixty meters tall.

And his little darling, back then, had been swept down from such a great height by the rushing water and then plunged into the lake in front of them...

The stream here was very clear, with an average depth. Had she not been just a little child at the time, she might really have met her end.

"Eighteen years ago, transportation wasn’t very developed. I was walking back home from a relative’s place and decided to take a shortcut through this path."

Yang Guoping recalled, pointing to the stream in front of them.

"The water here was really clear. I immediately saw Xinxin floating on top of it. I was startled and rushed into the water. When I grabbed her, I noticed blood was constantly flowing from her head, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. I had thought Xinxin was already dead, but then I discovered she still had breath, still had a heartbeat..."

Recalling the scene from that time, Yang Guoping couldn’t help but feel a stab of heartache.

Meanwhile, Mu Jingheng clenched his teeth tightly as he listened to Yang Guoping’s recollection, trying hard to prevent his emotions from collapsing again.

"Xinxin must not have been conscious at the time, but on the way to the hospital, she kept murmuring ’Daddy... Mommy... save me... Brother Xi... Brother, save me.’ I didn’t think too much about it and just wanted to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible. I didn’t even consider looking for her family nearby."

"After the emergency treatment, the doctor said Xinxin was no longer in life-threatening danger. But there was a blood clot in her brain, and she also had a congenital heart condition. Yet, I didn’t have any extra money to continue her treatment, so I..."

At this point, Yang Guoping felt an immense sense of guilt.

"Mr. Mu, if only I had tried to find Xinxin’s family nearby at the time, your family wouldn’t have been separated for so many years."

"No!"

Mu Jingheng, suppressing his near-collapse of emotions, looked at Yang Guoping with gratitude.

"Mr. Yan, what you did back then was the right thing to do. Maybe those few minutes, even just a few seconds, made all the difference for Xinxin. If you’d been any later, she might never have had the chance to open her eyes and see this world again."

Hearing Mu Jingheng’s words, Yang Guoping also felt a sense of gratitude.

The two grown men looked at each other, their eyes glistening with the faint shimmer of tears.

"When Xinxin woke up later, she could hardly remember anything. All she knew was that she was six years old. I wanted to give her a home, so I had her call me Dad, had her call my wife Mom, and also had my biological daughter Zhirou call Xinxin sister."

Yang Guoping meticulously recounted everything that had happened at the time.

"My wife wasn’t happy about me adopting Xinxin back then. But seeing how extraordinarily beautiful Xinxin was, she eventually relented. Looking back now, I think she probably hoped that Xinxin would grow up and marry a rich man so that she, as the mother, could live more comfortably."

He let out a long sigh as he spoke.

He knew his wife and daughter all too well.

"But when Xinxin turned eighteen, she suddenly said she had been... and later became pregnant. No one expected that the man was actually Young Master Mo..."

He sighed, marveling at how strange life could be.

"Xinxin, this child, I don’t think she had a single truly happy day after coming to our home. I really regret it. Why did I never think of helping her find her family?"

Yang Guoping was deeply remorseful.

"She was meant to be a noble young lady, yet we made her do housework for us since childhood, serving my wife and daughter. Mr. Mu, I feel so ashamed!"

"Mr. Yan, you’re mistaken! Xinxin meeting you was her greatest fortune! And it was also our family’s fortune! Over the years, you’ve given her a father’s love, care, and everything you could provide. You don’t owe her anything, and there’s no need to apologize to me because the most important thing is—you gave Xinxin a second chance at life!"
