At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 689: Being fooled
Tang Yi sounded like he was about to cry, "I'm afraid that child is really mine, but I definitely haven't touched her."
When I heard Tang Yi say this, I was so angry that I laughed. "Tang Yi, are you trying to say that you didn't touch her and she got pregnant with your child through artificial insemination?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Tang Yi actually had the nerve to say it.
"How did Su Yao do it? You don't want to say that she collected the seeds manually while you were unconscious?" I said coldly. In order to exonerate himself, this guy made up more and more outrageous lies.
Unexpectedly, he said honestly: "I collected it myself..."
"Ah? Why are you..." Can it be more outrageous?
Tang Yi hurriedly explained the whole story, "Listen to me, it's not what you think."
It turned out that three years ago, when Tang Yi was still studying in Country M, he was persuaded by two good friends to donate sperm when a sperm bank came to their school to promote it. The reason was that it could "use excellent Chinese genes to change the human race of Country M" and that it could also help infertile families, thinking that it was a good deed.
Tang Yi impulsively donated his sperm. Xiao Shiqiu drummed his fingers on the table and asked, "Do the donation terms allow commercial use? Are there double-blind clauses for both the donor and the recipient?"
Tang Yi's voice became increasingly weak, "I didn't pay attention to the privacy clause when I signed..."
This is because I am abroad, so far away that no one knows me.
If people from China go to the United States for IVF, they all go there for white ancestry, so I didn’t pay attention to these things.”
I gasped when I heard this. Su Yao's move was simply a precise fraud. He was sure to blame Tang Yi. No matter what you say, it can be confirmed that it is Tang Yi's child. It doesn't matter whether Tang Yi admits it or not.
Xiao Shiqiu pondered for a moment and said to Tang Yi, "This matter is a bit complicated. It must be resolved before Su Yao publicly releases the news. Otherwise, it will not be a question of whether you are willing to marry Su Yao, but the Tang and Su families must become relatives for the sake of their family reputation.
Even if you disagree, Huang Tianyi will not be able to stop accepting you now that she has a biological child."
Tang Yi lamented, "Then what should I do? Just give in like that? I really don't have any feelings for Su Yao. We've known each other since we were in diapers. How could there be any romantic feelings between us when we were that close?"
I looked at Xiao Shiqiu. I was only two years old when he knew me.
He seemed to know what I was thinking. He leaned close to my ear and said in a low voice, "Don't take it personally. When we met, the only one of us was wearing diapers, and our situation was different." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows with some pride.
I:"……"
So his sense of superiority came from the fact that he was no longer wearing diapers?
Seeing that Xiao Shiqiu ignored him, Tang Yi anxiously said, "Hey~~Hey~~Cousin, are you still listening to me?"
"Listen, I'm telling you, forget about your diaper-related friendship now. That little girl is clearly determined to get you. She's set a trap for you, and it won't be easy for you to escape. We only have less than five days to resolve this. I'll contact the lawyers in Country M first and see what they have to say."
"Yes, find a lawyer. We can solve it with a lawyer. Why did they leak my sperm donation information to Su Yao? I will sue them!" Tang Yi suddenly became excited again, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"You really care about this cousin." I couldn't help but tease, "Why are you helping him fight your aunt?"
Xiao Shiqiu simply smiled faintly and said, "For something like an arranged marriage, it's enough for his two brothers to sacrifice themselves. Ayi has been the closest to me since he was a child. I can say that I watched him grow up. I sincerely hope that he can be happy and live a carefree life.
Huang Tianyi is a good match for him. Su Yao is too scheming and not suitable for someone as simple-minded as Ayi.
Another guy who raises his younger brother as his own son. I can see that both Xiao Shiqiu and his brother have an overflowing maternal love.
While he was chatting with me, his slender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, communicating skillfully in English with the lawyer on the other end. I asked him, somewhat confused, "Why are you looking for a lawyer from Country M? Are you going to sue the Su family abroad?"
He casually opened an English financial report on his phone. "Someone found out that the private organization where Ayi donated sperm was acquired by Su Pharmaceuticals five years ago."
I blurted out in shock, "Could it be that the Su family has already started plotting against Tang Yi's little tadpole?"
Xiao Shiqiu chuckled and said, "That's not the case. Tang Yi donating sperm to this organization is probably purely accidental.
However, there are two doubtful points about this matter. One is that no one knows how Su Yao found out about this. Of course, as the eldest daughter of the Su family, it would not be difficult for her to find out if she deliberately checked. But which girl would deliberately check such a thing?
Another questionable point is that, according to the information I've investigated, this institution didn't have the right to operate assisted reproductive technology at the time. It was merely a research institute under Su Pharmaceuticals. I don't know what kind of agreement Tang Yi signed at the time."
Xiao Shiqiu rubbed his newly grown stubbled chin meaningfully. Seeing that he didn't continue, I asked, "Without the right to operate assisted reproductive technology, how did Tang Yi's tadpoles make Su Yao pregnant?"
"That's the key."
At this moment, a voice came from the computer, "Lawyer Hall is online."
He pressed the enter key, and the video conference interface popped up. A middle-aged man in formal attire appeared on the screen. He looked familiar with Xiao Shiqiu. "Hello~Xiao~"
"Hall, long time no see." Xiao Shiqiu leaned lazily on the leather chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the mahogany tabletop. "The last lawsuit in Manhattan was all thanks to you."
Lawyer Hall on the other side of the screen showed a standard professional smile, but his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were shining.
"Mr. Xiao, you're too polite. The reason we won the lawsuit was mainly because the evidence you provided was strong enough." He said, his eyes swept over me behind Xiao Shiqiu, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
"My fiancée." Xiao Shiqiu leaned over and took me into the camera. I nodded politely, and Hall's smile suddenly became much more friendly. "Charming lady, it's a pleasure to meet you. If I had known you earlier, I would have competed fairly with Xiao."
Compliments from European and American men to women are simply a talent in their genes. They are extremely good at providing emotional value. Hearing them too much can easily make Asian girls who are used to being reserved fall for them.
When Xiao Shiqiu heard the other party's compliment to me, he just raised his eyebrows slightly and then laughed, "Haha, no one will know her earlier than me."
