In the midsummer of 2017, the results of the national college entrance examination were announced one after another, and students from all over the country achieved good results, triggering a burst of exciting jubilation. In a luxurious community in a bustling city in Hunan, the Tang family is also holding a grand celebration of higher education.
This well-respected and wealthy family rejoices that their eldest son has been admitted to a prestigious school, and the family is surrounded by guests and luxury cars, showing the family's status and wealth.
However, behind this celebration, there is a mysterious secret. It turned out that the protagonist was not the biological child of the Tang family, but a girl from a poor family - Zhao Liying.
This outstanding candidate turned out to be Tang Xianghua's biological daughter who was ruthlessly abandoned many years ago.
Back then, Tang Xianghua, out of inherent prejudice against male heirs, ordered Zhao Liying to be abandoned when she was born. He chose to adopt a boy and completely forgot about the daughter he had abandoned.
But the gears of fate have unconsciously taken a turn. Today, many years later, this abandoned girl was admitted to a well-known university with excellent results, which undoubtedly shocked Tang Xianghua, who had ruthlessly abandoned her.
Guilt and pride are intertwined in Tang Xianghua's heart, and he is eager to find this daughter who was abandoned by him to make up for the guilt of the year. And just when the Tang family was holding a grand college banquet, a man in plain clothes suddenly rushed into the venue - this was Zhao Liying's adoptive father Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhao Zhiguo's face was grim, and he asked loudly: "My daughter of the Zhao family, why do you need the Tang family to hold this kind of banquet for her?" His voice was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the joyful atmosphere of the banquet scene.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden conflict.
It turned out that Zhao Zhiguo, a farmer from an ordinary background, adopted the baby girl abandoned by Tang Xianghua many years ago, treated her as his own, and raised her carefully for 19 years.
Under Zhao Zhiguo's angry questioning, Tang Xianghua finally admitted the mistake of ruthlessly abandoning his daughter back then. He explained that he was too obsessed with having a male heir to make such a cruel decision.
Now, seeing that this abandoned daughter has grown into an outstanding talent, Tang Xianghua's heart is full of incomparable self-blame and guilt. He desperately wants to make amends for his past mistakes and regain his bond with his daughter.
And in a dilemma, it is this girl who is much contested - Zhao Liying. On the one hand, she understands that her choice will deeply hurt her adoptive parents who love her the most; But on the other hand, she couldn't ignore the pressure of her family's financial situation, and she was extremely eager to accept the high tuition assistance given by the Tang family.
In tears, she explained to her adoptive parents with difficulty: "It's not that I like the new and hate the old, it's just that the family is really financially difficult, and I can't bear to see you working hard for me day and night."
This family dispute surrounding a girl has undoubtedly aroused strong social concern. As an adopted daughter, what kind of difficult choice will Zhao Liying make, and finally find her own belonging between her biological father and her adoptive father? She is burdened with heavy guilt and reluctance, but how to choose between the real economic pressure? This seemingly ordinary but confusing story is waiting for the final mystery to be revealed.
In the winter of 1998, with the enthusiastic help of relatives and friends, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife, who were originally unable to have children, welcomed a lovely baby girl. Although the girl was not biological, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife still regarded her as a pearl in their palms, named her Zhao Liying, and decided to officially adopt her into the family.
Zhao Zhiguo has been farming for generations, and although his life is not rich, his family is harmonious and full of warm atmosphere. For this sudden baby girl, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife gave meticulous care and love.
They put all their heart and soul into raising this girl, lest there be any delay. Even if they were lucky to welcome their daughter later, their love for Zhao Liying still did not diminish at all.
Whether it is in terms of life or diet, Zhao Liying has been impeccable care.
As she grew older, Zhao Liying showed an outstanding talent for learning. She has excellent grades and can win a glorious certificate every semester. Looking at their daughter's excellent performance, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife are extremely proud, and always paste these awards all over the most conspicuous walls of the house, showing off to relatives, friends and neighbors around them.
In the face of such a difficult life situation, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife still love Zhao Liying wholeheartedly. They firmly believe that their hard-working daughter will know how to be grateful in return.
Even though the people around them frequently questioned this, Zhao Zhiguo and his wife always firmly believed in their daughter's kindness.
However, fate eventually dealt them a heavy blow. Zhao Liying lived up to expectations and was admitted to a famous university, but chose to return to the home of her biological father Tang Xianghua and publicly admitted that Tang Xianghua was her biological father.
This made Zhao Zhiguo and his wife unacceptable, they couldn't understand that their daughter, who had worked hard for 19 years, would abandon them so easily and choose to leave.
The hearts of this peasant couple must have been filled with unspeakable pain and disappointment. They used all their hard work and sweat to raise this girl and gave her meticulous care, and now she wants to turn her back on them and throw herself into the arms of her biological father.
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow and injury to Zhao Zhiguo and his wife.
Once upon a time, the barren couple adopted the baby girl with infinite love and cared for her as a treasure. Now, this daughter they regard as their own will choose to leave them and return to the biological father who once cruelly abandoned her.
This filled the hearts of Zhao Zhiguo and his wife with endless pain and sorrow.
It turned out that this controversial girl, Zhao Liying, turned out to be the biological daughter of Tang Xianghua who was ruthlessly abandoned many years ago. Back then, Tang Xianghua ordered his daughter to be abandoned after she was born out of inherent prejudice against male heirs.
He chose to adopt a boy and completely forgot about the daughter he had abandoned.
For many years, Tang Xianghua has never cared about the whereabouts of this daughter, and he has neither attachment nor guilt for her. In his eyes, this daughter was nothing more than a baby abandoned by him, and it was not worth his trouble.
It wasn't until the news that Zhao Liying was admitted to a prestigious school that Tang Xianghua's heart suddenly awakened. He finally realized how wrong and cruel his decision had been.
So, Tang Xianghua began to inquire about Zhao Liying's whereabouts. He can't wait to find this daughter he abandoned to make amends for his years of guilt.
Finally, after Zhao Liying's college entrance examination, he learned where his daughter went. He couldn't wait to go to Zhao's house, intending to personally retrieve this daughter who had been abandoned by him for many years.
Just as Tang Xianghua was about to hold a grand banquet to celebrate his daughter's achievements, Zhao Zhiguo rushed into the venue angrily. He asked, "My daughter of the Zhao family, why do you need the Tang family to hold this kind of banquet for her advancement?" Suddenly, the entire banquet scene was silent, and everyone was shocked by this sudden conflict.
Zhao Zhiguo's anger stems from his deep attachment to Zhao Liying for many years.
Seeing that the daughter he had worked so hard to raise took the initiative to ask to be transferred to the Tang family's household registration, Zhao Zhiguo was in great pain. He asked Tang Xianghua why he ruthlessly abandoned his daughter back then, and now he wants to bring her back.
This question was like a sharp blade, piercing Tang Xianghua's heart fiercely.
"I wasn't looking for money, I was looking for my lost daughter. Faced with Zhao Zhiguo's questioning, Tang Xianghua finally admitted his mistake back then. He explained that he was too obsessed with having a son to make such a cruel decision.
Now his daughter's excellent results make him extremely proud, and it also makes him realize his mistakes back then. He just wants to make up for his guilt in this way and regain his affection with his daughter.
Hearing this heavy question, Tang Xianghua was silent. He hung his head, not knowing how to answer. He understood that his decision back then was too cruel and had already hurt an innocent life.
And now, this abandoned daughter has grown into an outstanding talent, which makes him feel extremely guilty and guilty.
Zhao Zhiguo saw that Tang Xianghua was speechless, and the anger and pain in his heart became even more intense. He told Tang Xianghua word by word: "Zhao Liying, she is the child I raised with my own hands, and today's move is just to help her afford the high tuition and miscellaneous fees of college, so that she can realize her college dream as soon as possible."
Zhao Zhiguo firmly emphasized, "Zhao Liying will always take 'Zhao' as her surname, and will never change her father's surname or move her household registration to the Tang family." These words are undoubtedly a provocation and blow to Tang Xianghua again and again.
Seeing that his daughter, who was ruthlessly abandoned many years ago, has now become an outstanding talent, Tang Xianghua's heart is full of endless self-blame and guilt. He sincerely explained to Zhao Zhiguo that he was not greedy for money, but really wanted to make up for his mistakes and regain family affection with his daughter.
However, in Zhao Zhiguo's view, Tang Xianghua's abandonment back then was too cruel, and he couldn't easily forgive this man who had ruthlessly abandoned his daughter. The fierce conflict between the two people undoubtedly caused a shock to the entire banquet scene.
When will the contradiction between the biological father and the adoptive father be resolved? Just as the situation deteriorated further, Zhao Liying's heart must have fallen into incomparable entanglement and pain.
Faced with the fierce conflict between her biological father Tang Xianghua and her adoptive father Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Liying, who was in a dilemma, was undoubtedly tormented in her heart. On the one hand, she understands that her choice will deeply hurt her adoptive parents, who love her the most.
Zhao Zhiguo and his wife spent 19 years raising her with all their hard work and sweat, and gave her meticulous care. And now, she wants to turn her back on the adoptive parents who love her and return to the arms of her biological father, which undoubtedly makes her heart full of self-blame and guilt.
But on the other hand, Zhao Liying can't ignore the pressure of the current family financial situation. Zhao Zhiguo's family lived in poverty and relied on hard work to maintain their lives. And his high tuition fees have brought a heavy burden to this already poor family.
She could no longer watch her adoptive parents work for herself, and her heart was full of guilt and unbearable.
In the face of her biological father Tang Xianghua's generous tuition assistance, Zhao Liying once tried to explain to her adoptive parents: "I am not a person who likes the new and hates the old, but my family is really financially difficult."
I can't stand to see you toiling for me day and night. She hopes that by accepting the Tang family's sponsorship, she can alleviate the financial pressure on her adoptive parents so that they can enjoy their old age in peace.
However, her explanation undoubtedly stabbed the hearts of Zhao Zhiguo and his wife again.
Zhao Zhiguo looked sadly at his daughter, who had worked hard to raise him for 19 years, and finally chose to leave them, which made him unacceptable. He questioned his daughter: "Since you have chosen to return to your biological parents, then the future path is up to you, it doesn't matter whether you recognize us as your biological parents or not."
This sentence was like a dagger, deeply stabbing Zhao Liying's heart.
In the conflict between her biological father and her adoptive father, Zhao Liying looked helpless and confused. She tried to explain her thoughts, but she couldn't do it. In Zhao Zhiguo's eyes, her daughter's silence undoubtedly means that she has made a choice and decided to completely turn her back on her adoptive parents and throw herself into the arms of her biological father.
Looking at the back of her adoptive father who was about to leave, Zhao Liying's heart swelled with strong remorse. She understands that her choices will forever hurt those who love her the most.
However, the actual financial pressure made her unable to completely give up the high tuition assistance given by the Tang family.
In tears, Zhao Liying told her adoptive parents: "I don't like the new and hate the old, it's just that the family is really financially difficult, and I really can't bear to see you working hard for me day and night."
She hopes to reduce the financial burden on her adoptive parents by accepting financial support from the Tang family.
Between the generous promise of her biological father Tang Xianghua and the painful rejection of her adoptive father Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Liying was conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she couldn't stand watching her adoptive parents carry a heavy financial burden on her; But on the other hand, she knows that the decision to turn her back on her adoptive parents will inevitably cause them untold hurt and pain.
Zhao Liying looked sadly at her adoptive father Zhao Zhiguo, who was about to leave, and felt strong remorse in her heart. She understands that her choices will forever hurt those who love her most.
But the actual economic needs forced her to accept the funding of her biological father Tang Xianghua. She stood helplessly between two obsessed men, unable to bear to betray the deep love of her adoptive parents, and unable to completely refuse her biological father's sincere arrangement.
In the end, whether it is the affection of her adoptive parents or the economic problems that need to be solved urgently will become the key factor in determining Zhao Liying's fate. This young girl's inner entanglement will surely bring an unpredictable twist to the final ending.
