Xie changze pondered for a moment. “There’s one more thing. I told Qi Wei that you might be his daughter…”
Yan Xi was stunned. She held Xie Changze’s hand. “It’s okay. I was going to tell him too.”
She didn’t want to say it before because she couldn’t judge the grudge between the other party and her mother. She wanted to protect her mother’s reputation.
However, there was no way to avoid this matter. The other party was obviously coming for her mother.
Although she was very angry from the previous phone call, she knew that Qi Wei didn’t deliberately use this kind of thing to smear her mother. He was serious.
In that case, the fact that she was his daughter was also her biggest bargaining chip.
Yan XI said, “But this kind of thing can’t be guessed. I want to do a paternity test with Qi Wei.”
But before that, she still needed to explain this matter to her grandfather and brother.
—
Yan Qinghe was very shocked. His daughter actually had such a past when she was abroad.
That man had actually come to north bridge city back then and tried to take Yan Qingcheng Away?
And all of this, he was actually kept in the dark from the beginning to the end!
The old man’s mood fluctuated greatly. Elder Xie hurriedly helped him up and quickly fed him a pill.
Yan Qinghe took a slight breath before he slowly calmed down. His aged face was filled with bitterness.
“I told you no wonder. Qingcheng is too calm towards XI jingxing. She doesn’t look like she’s in love at all. She’s doing this for me, for her mother, for the Yan family…”
The old man could not help but cry as he spoke.
A father knows his son like a father. He could roughly understand Yan Qingcheng as he thought back to the past.
Unlike the rebellious Yan Yunzhi, Yan Qingcheng had been sensible and obedient since she was young.
When she was young, she experienced her parents quitting their jobs to start a business. When she saw her parents constantly being attacked, her reputation was once very bad.
Those old aristocratic families had long been linked together and monopolized the entire north bridge market, rejecting outsiders.
After all, the cake was only so big. If they wanted to monopolize it, how could they be willing to let the biggest piece be taken away.
Yan Qinghe had touched their interests, and that was everyone’s enemy. Those people who claimed to be from aristocratic families had joined together to ostracize the Yan family. Not only did they invite old Madam Yan to attend, they also deliberately embarrassed others and said all kinds of nasty words.
They despised Old Madam Yan for being a nouveau riche who did not know etiquette and was not presentable. They also despised the children who were not educated and could not be compared to the daughters of a proper aristocratic family.
If one gossiped too much, it seemed that one could obtain satisfaction and a sense of superiority by belittling the Yan family.
“Qingcheng said that she would fight for her reputation if she did not make steamed buns. She earnestly studied social etiquette, piano, violin, flower arrangement, golf… As long as it is a social skill of the upper class, she has learned it very well.”Yan Qinghe wiped away his tears, however, the corners of his lips curled up slightly with a hint of pride.
Not only did she learn it very well, she was simply amazing. She immediately became the number one socialite of North Bridge.
Those rich and noble ladies used to maintain their status. Later on, they realized that they couldn’t do it. They talked about manners and etiquette. who could compare to Yan Qingcheng.
The other party was also very good-looking. It really suited her name, devastatingly beautiful.
If other people were to hype up the number one socialite, most people would have some complaints. But for Yan Qingcheng… no one had any objections.
It was probably because the other party was too outstanding. Those rich and powerful families’daughters knew that they could not catch up no matter what, so they simply gave up on competing and chose to lie down.
They knew that they could not compete, so why should they humiliate themselves and become the gossip and jokes of the other rich and powerful families.
In Yan Yunzhi’s words, the younger generation of those rich and powerful families lived too comfortably. They were all as stupid as pigs. How could they be compared to his fairy-like sister?
Speaking of which, the more famous Yan Qingcheng’s reputation as the number one socialite became, the more beneficial it would be for the Yan family’s business.
It was probably because Yan Qingcheng’s character was too perfect, so she absolutely could not allow her character to collapse.
After all, at that time, something had already happened to Yan Yunzhi. It was only high school when it was revealed that he had knocked up a woman.
The two children of the Yan family could not be insensible and make their parents lose face.
Yan Qinghe sighed. “It’s my fault for not guiding her well. It’s also my fault for… placing too much emphasis on reputation. However, money or reputation are just worldly possessions. How could they be more important than her?”
If they had known earlier, Yan Qinghe might have accepted the Qi family with a bad reputation.
Yan XI said softly, “Grandfather, mother must have her reasons for making such a choice. I don’t think it’s just because I’m afraid that you won’t agree.”
Yan Qinghe was stunned for a moment and frowned. “You’re saying that Xi Jingxing did something?”
Yan Xi was silent for a moment. She had her own guess, but her mother was raped by Xi Jingxing because it was du Xiaoman’s one-sided statement. She couldn’t say it because she was afraid that grandfather wouldn’t be able to take it.
Yan Qinghe reached out both hands and held Yan XI with one hand and Xi Yan with the other.
“Grandfather has lived for a long time, so he doesn’t care about anything. The only thing he cares about is my family. You are grandfather’s treasure. No matter who your father is, this will never change.”
“Don’t worry and move forward boldly. No matter what you want to do, grandfather will support you.”
He had never felt humiliated or humiliated.
Back then, the Xi family had provoked and caused all kinds of trouble. The reason he had compromised was not to maintain his good reputation, but to make his daughter happy.
Even if his daughter really divorced Xi jingxing in a fit of anger and brought her two children back to her parents’house, he would still agree with her.
How could reputation be more important than his daughter.
Yan Xi turned to look at Xi Yan. “I plan to do a paternity test with Qi. Brother, are you willing?”
She did not treat XI jingxing as well as Xi Yan. She had probably been raised in the Yan family since she was young, so she could think on her own after returning to the XI family.
Even so, when she had returned from the hospital, she had still been soft-hearted and wanted to give Xi Jingxing a chance.
However, she had accumulated too much disappointment, so she had finally decided to draw the line. There was no need to pretend to be a father and son.
Xi Yan was different. He had been raised in the Xi family since he was young, so Xi Jingxing had a lot to do with him. He probably needed to teach his son a lesson to increase his father’s prestige.
Of course, Yan Xi did not approve of this method of education, but it seemed like most families were like this. Xi Jingxing as a father still had a lot of authority in Xi Yan’s heart, so he might not be able to accept it.
Xi Yan hesitated for a moment. “I… Am Willing.”
After a pause, he quickly added, “It’s just a paternity test. I have the right to know where I came from. As for whether I recognize this father or not, I still need to consider it.”
Xi Yan walked to the glass corridor and realized that it had started to rain outside.
So the strange person from yesterday could possibly be his biological father?
Thinking of how the other party hugged him and cried silently, he gently pursed his lips. He still felt the warm touch of the skin on his neck.
His phone suddenly rang. Xi Yan looked at the incoming message and hesitantly picked up the call. “Dad…”
