By this point, Shen Jianhua no longer wanted anything to do with Shen Mianmian and the thought of having to pay for her schooling was out of the question; he felt that raising her for so many years was already more than fulfilling his duty.
"Am I really not your illegitimate daughter?" Shen Mianmian asked again; what she couldn't let go of wasn't Zhou Lanfang's poor treatment but rather the indifference of her supposed biological father, Shen Jianhua, towards everything that had happened to her.
Even until his dying breath, he never told her the truth.

If he wasn't her biological father, why should she yearn for any familial blood ties?
