Gu Fei had his own concerns about not letting them go up to meet Lin Qingyan immediately.

Faced with the puzzled looks from An Jing and his parents, he calmly opened his phone and handed it over, saying, "This is the DNA test report for Lin Qingyan and An Yu."

An Lingkang took the phone. The screen showed a picture, which was the identification report that Gu Fei had mentioned. Although it was not unexpected, their hearts were still stirred when they saw the results.

Gu Fei said, "If you don't believe me, you can have it verified by yourselves."

"We believe it, of course we believe it!" Just by looking at the child's face, with that innate sense of familiarity, An Lingkang and Song Shuman were certain that he was their son.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Song Shuman asked anxiously, "Can we go upstairs and meet Yan Yan now?"

"I need you all to agree to one condition." In the dim light of the night, the man's eyes were indifferent and distant, his deep voice carrying an unyielding tone:

"If you all want to acknowledge Lin Qingyan, then you must make An Nanyi leave the An family completely, sever all ties with him, and have no further contact with him. This is the prerequisite."

"Uncle and Aunt, can you two do this? And An Jing and An Yu, and even all the relatives of the An family, must sever ties with An Nanyi."

Every word he uttered was calm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. Although he was the younger generation, Gu Fei's aura was even stronger than that of An Lingkang and Song Shuman.

"This..." (Original URL)

They hadn't expected Gu Fei to suddenly make such a request; it caught them completely off guard, and they couldn't help but hesitate. Before this, they had never even considered this issue.

After all, he was the son she had raised for nineteen years. It's true that they weren't related by blood, but the affection between them was genuine.

They hesitated, but Gu Fei's expression gradually darkened, and an unnamed fire burned in his heart.

He was always calm and composed no matter what happened, but he couldn't do that when it came to things related to Lin Qingyan. As for how deep the feelings were between the An family and An Nanyi, he didn't care.

"If you can't even do this, then I'm sorry, I won't let you see him."

Before the other three could speak, he continued:

"For the past nineteen years, you and that adopted son have lived a harmonious and happy life. Isn't that wonderful? The whole family was living happily and contentedly." Gu Fei's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold, mocking smile.

"Meanwhile, your biological son lives with those so-called adoptive parents. He is unloved by his father and mother and has never experienced a day of family affection. Family affection is a luxury for him."

"Lin Qingyan lived in that poor, dirty, and chaotic home. He had never had a good day since he was a child. His adoptive father, who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore, would beat and scold him at any time, and his selfish adoptive mother ignored and treated him coldly..."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Song Shuman couldn't help but cry, her heart aching terribly. That was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to. No mother doesn't love her own blood-related child...

An Lingkang and An Jing were also choked up and unable to speak.

Gu Fei didn't care about their feelings. His facial features were tense, and he gritted his teeth. His deep voice was as cold as if it were soaked in snow water:

"He finally grew up and studied hard, hoping to get into a good university and find a good job after graduation so that he wouldn't have to live a hard life anymore."

Even though he was ridiculed and bullied by his classmates all day long, he didn't dare to fight back. All he could do was study hard. The college entrance examination was just around the corner, and there were only a few months left.

"But at this very moment, your beloved son, whom you cherished and spoiled, learned about his true parentage and secretly made things difficult for him, causing his adoptive father to ruin his hopes of taking the college entrance examination."

"After dropping out of school, he worked odd jobs everywhere, doing all sorts of dirty and hard work, earning only a few thousand yuan a month. He was reluctant to eat or spend money on himself, and gave all the money he earned to his bloodsucking adoptive parents."

"Two years passed like this until he had the opportunity to participate in the talent show. He practiced day and night and finally won the hearts of many people with his hard work. He was the first place winner and had a bright future after debuting in the group."

"But at this moment, your good son, out of jealousy, deliberately had someone push him down the stairs to prevent him from participating in the performance, causing him to bleed from the head and break his arm."

He was lucky, otherwise he would have lost his life, but he was injured and could not continue to participate in the competition, so all his efforts during this period were in vain..."

“All of these things are because of Annanyi, and his selfish biological parents!”

Gu Fei spoke so much in one breath, his eyes slightly reddening. He paused, then added, his icy tone suddenly softening:

"Given Lin Qingyan's personality, he wouldn't tell anyone even if he was wronged, so I'm speaking up for him in the hopes that you can understand."

Gu Fei was very certain that he would not allow anyone to cause Lin Qingyan any more grievances, not even his own parents.

After he finished speaking, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, while Song Shuman, who was standing opposite him, was already sobbing uncontrollably, and An Lingkang and An Jing were not much better off.

For nineteen years, unbeknownst to them, their child suffered so much injustice.

Now that he has finally found his family, he can only watch helplessly as others take his place and as his biological parents and brother dote on others.

How sad, disappointed, and wronged he must have felt.

Tears welled up in An Jing's eyes, and his throat felt like it was blocked by something. He spoke with great difficulty, "When...when did Yan Yan find out about his background?"

Gu Fei: "About two weeks ago."

"Half a month ago..." Song Shuman felt even more guilty and sad, which meant that Yan Yan already knew the truth before walking the red carpet.

That day left a deep impression on Song Shuman. Many of the contestants' parents came, but Yan Yan was alone. He witnessed his mother being kind to someone else.

The son she had doted on for nineteen years was secretly bullying her own son. Even though it was Yan Yan who had been wronged, he still lowered his head obediently with red eyes and said to her, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

At this moment, Song Shuman was completely disappointed in An Nanyi. She had never imagined that the son she had loved for nineteen years was such a selfish and despicable person.

An Jing felt no less guilty than his mother. He suddenly grabbed Gu Fei by the collar and said through gritted teeth, "Gu Fei, since you know the truth, why didn't you tell us!"

Gu Fei glanced down at him, but didn't resist, letting him hold her. His dark eyes appeared even more profound in the night, and his voice couldn't be low anymore: "You think I don't want to?"

“Lin Qingyan doesn’t dare to see you. He’s afraid,” Gu Fei said. “He’s afraid you don’t like him, afraid that he’s not as important to you as An Nanyi.”

Gu Fei would never forget that night when he drove Lin Qingyan to see his parents, but halfway there, the boy cried and begged him not to go and to turn back.

He was afraid of gaining something only to lose it again.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. An Jing paused for a moment, then let go of his hands, which hung limply at his sides before clenching them tightly again.

“From now on, my only brothers are An Yu and Yan Yan. As for An Nanyi… I will no longer acknowledge him.” After saying this, he looked at his parents beside him.

Now that things have come to this, if they were to let An Nanyi stay in the An family any longer, they would truly be unworthy of being Lin Qingyan's parents; that child has already suffered so much injustice...

Mr. and Mrs. An exchanged a glance, and almost without hesitation, said solemnly and earnestly, "Gu Fei, we can do everything you asked for. We... we must do it. Thank you, thank you for telling us this!"

——

Song Shuman pushed open the door to the ward almost cautiously. It was very quiet inside. The boy was lying on the hospital bed with his body slightly curled up, but he was not asleep. His reddened eyes were unblinking as he was lost in thought.

Upon seeing the people standing at the door, he immediately sat up, looking at them with a somewhat bewildered expression. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Song Shuman could no longer hold back and stepped forward to hug her youngest son tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had found out sooner that you were my biological son, you wouldn't have suffered so much. I'm so sorry, so sorry..."

She kept saying sorry, warm tears streaming down her cheeks, soaking the fabric of Lin Qingyan's clothes at the shoulder. He stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say.

A moment later, he stiffly reached out and hugged Song Shuman back. It was warm and reassuring, a feeling that Zhou Yuelan had never given him. So this was motherly love? He had never felt it before.

"It's okay... You're a victim too." He tried to suppress the stinging feeling in his nose and remain calm, but tears silently streamed down his face, and his eyes turned bright red.

An Jing, who hadn't cried since he grew up, couldn't help but step forward and hug Lin Qingyan. At this moment, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry too. Do you remember telling me that you wanted a brother like me? From now on, you'll be my only brother. I won't let you suffer anymore."

Lin Qingyan: "Then... what about An Yu?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot about him." An Jing raised his arm to wipe away the tears on his face, and said in a choked voice, "Let's not worry about him for now. Yan Yan, can you call me big brother?"

Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Lin Qingyan obediently called out "Big Brother," and An Jing cried even harder upon hearing this, "Good little brother..."

Gu Fei couldn't bear to look, so he turned and left, leaving the family alone. He leaned against the wall, standing quietly in the corridor. His tense face relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Song Shuman asked expectantly, "Yan Yan, will you call me 'Mom' too?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Yes, Mom."

An Jing: "Then how about calling me 'Big Brother' a couple more times?"
