He had been harboring a secret in his heart for over twenty years.
Rourou was not actually picked up from the streets, but was his love child from an extramarital affair.
Back then, he had painstakingly courted the young lady of the Hu family.
He thought he would become the favored son-in-law of the Hu family.
However, he hadn't expected that the old master Hu would despise him, forcefully separate them, and forbid him from being with Hu Fangqin.
At that time, Hu Fangqin was completely smitten, determined to marry no one but him.
Under his persuasion, they eloped.
He successfully got Hu Fangqin pregnant, thinking that with this child as a bargaining chip, the old master would have no choice but to accept it.
While Hu Fangqin was pregnant, unable to bear his loneliness, he found a factory girl and got her pregnant as well.
He gave the factory girl some money, asking her to terminate the pregnancy.
