Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 205

Hiram's eyes didn't meet Rachel's. He seemed to have known the news and deliberately chosen not to tell Gavin about it.

"Rachel, as you know, there are only two big families in XH Village, yours and ours. XH Village was also the place where Landy lost her life." Gavin's eyes became vacant as he spoke. He seemed to be reminiscing about the times he had spent with his younger sister.

"Landy was supposed to stay in XH Village for only 10 days or so and go back to the US after that, but she ended up staying there for a year. We didn't worry much about it since we thought she was only a little girl who wanted to have fun.

But what we didn't know was that she had fallen in love with a man there."

Hiram suddenly cut in. "Dad, this matter hasn't been investigated yet, and there is no conclusive evidence. Let me check again. Please don't come to a conclusion so quickly."

Rachel noticed how nervous Hiram was and anticipated that it was bad news. How could such a calm man like Hiram be so nervous?

"No, I sent someone to verify it myself. It's a real clue, but for some reason, everyone kept it a secret. It is only now when the man is dead that they dare to make it public, "

Gavin said.

"Rachel, that man is none other than your father."

Rachel widened her eyes at Gavin's words.

What did he mean?

Landy had been in love with her father?

Rachel was totally confused.

She couldn't understand what he was saying.

Joanna looked at Rachel, and knew that it was difficult for her daughter-in-law to accept, she said, "Rachel, XH Village is a small village. Your father, who I knew at that time, was good-looking and well-spoken. It's no surprise that Landy, who had just become a woman, fell in love with your dad.

Landy was a smart girl, and your dad returned her feelings. The year that Landy stayed in XH Village, she was actually staying with your dad. But at that time... Well, your dad was already engaged to your mother at that time."

Joanna explained.

She knew that Gavin got upset easily, especially when it came to his sister. Just the mention of Landy could make him lose all sense of reason. So, she thought it was better for her to do the talking.

"The Rong family was also to blame. We didn't want the only daughter in the family to marry into the Ruan family and suffer, so we didn't reveal Landy's true identity to anyone.

Gavin, maybe that was God's punishment to the Rong family. If we had made Landy's identity clear, then regardless of anything else, Landy might still be alive now!" Joanna said, sighing.

"As for the details, too much time has passed, so we can't be a hundred percent sure about them. However, it seemed that in the end, your father broke up with Landy because he didn't want to betray your mother.

Landy couldn't accept it, so she jumped into the river and took her own life."

Rachel took a long time to recover from what she had just heard.

She remembered that once, at the hospital, Fannie had mentioned concealing something from the Rong family.

Had she been talking about this?

If that was the case, then although it was difficult to accept, at least what her mother had said then made sense.

Hiram said in a low voice, "Dad, many years have passed since then. Rachel is innocent. I don't want anything to hurt her."

Gavin sighed and looked away from Rachel, who resembled the man that had driven Landy to her death.

"Hiram, even if I set this aside, there's still the matter of..." he started, but Hiram cut him off.

"Stop, Dad! I told you, it's a wild guess. It can't be true!" Hiram suddenly raised his voice.

Joanna nodded in agreement. "I agree. Gavin, what you're thinking can't be true. We don't know it, but Fannie must know the truth. We shouldn't mention it again. Hiram's right, it's impossible."

Joanna had also heard the conversation Gavin had had on the phone in his study.

She thought it was absurd. It must be idle gossip.

Rachel looked at Hiram, confused, then turned to her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?

Dad, mom, since we're talking about this anyway, why don't we just come clean about everything? The Rong and Ruan families have been entangled for generations, and I can understand anything. So if there's anything else, please tell me about it."

As soon as she said this, Hiram took her hand and said, "Rachel, you already know the important part now. As for everything else, I'll investigate and find the person who has intentionally started such rumors."

Gavin coughed and stood up.

"Hiram, the best way to deal with this rumor is to verify it. It's not difficult. All we have to do is get the test done!"

"Dad!" Hiram protested. Joanna stood up too. Gavin, who was usually very gentle, couldn't control his temper when it came to this matter. He was stubborn and didn't listen to anyone's advice.

He held up his hand in front of him and said, "Joanna, I know it sounds absurd. I can't believe it either. But since we've heard that Landy gave birth to a girl who would now be the same age as Rachel, of course we have to rule it out first. If it turns out to be just a rumor, we'll have a happy ending. But if it is true, we can't let this mistake continue!

I know we all don't want to believe it, but now that it has come up, we should face this matter and solve it, rather than turn a blind eye to it."

Gavin turned to Rachel and said, "Rachel, let's go and take a blood test for you."

Rachel was totally confused. She turned stiffly to Hiram.

"So you're saying... I, I might not be my mother's biological daughter?

Are you kidding?

Dad, I don't think there's any need to do that. My mother and I both have O blood type. Since my mother gave me a blood transfusion when I was a child, I know it very well."

God, where on earth had this news come from?

How could her life suddenly become like a scene from a soap opera?

But hearing Rachel's words, Gavin's face only became more grave. "Your blood type is O? So is mine. And Hiram's."

"Dad!" Hiram frowned.

"O blood type is the most common. It's not like everyone who has that blood type is related to the Rong family."

"Yes. Please don't be so paranoid!" Joanna said, taking a deep breath. This whole conversation was setting her on edge, too.

The twists and turns almost scared her to death.

Holding her forehead, Rachel walked towards the stairway. She had to go back to her room and organize her thoughts or she would go mad.

How could she accept the fact that she was suddenly in such a state with no prior warning?

When Hiram followed her into the room, She picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
