Seeing that the old man's health was deteriorating and he was getting old, it was likely that he would soon pass the throne to her. At this critical juncture, the adopted daughter became increasingly sensitive to the matter.
Especially more than twenty years ago..........
At this point in time, it's hard not to have some thoughts.
She clearly remembered that more than 20 years ago, in order to get rid of her sister, she seduced the old man's confidant to do a secret for her.
Why is it such a coincidence?
Why this particular time!
She never believed in coincidences.
"Find Zhou Yi's parents' photos immediately and send them to me!" the adopted daughter ordered her trusted subordinate.
Not long after, the adopted daughter received a video from her confidant, taken more than 20 years ago.
The woman in the photo is wearing a wedding dress and exchanging rings with the groom on stage.
This is a candid shot from a wedding!
The confidant spent a lot of money to get the video he had secretly filmed at the wedding from a paparazzi.
Upon seeing the woman in the wedding dress, the adopted daughter let out a brief, spasmodic breath, followed by overwhelming anger and horror.
"Sister? How could that be........."
The person in the video is indeed her!!!
This is the woman she dreams of killing!
So she was in Luzhou before?!
The adopted daughter angrily grabbed what she was holding and threw it to the ground. A tremendous fear and rage surged to the top of her head. Over the years, she had been deceived!
The man told her: He had taken care of everything! Her sister was dead, and everyone who could threaten her position had been eliminated.
From now on, she can rest assured and wait to inherit the old man's family fortune.
But... but what happened to Zhou Yi? The adopted daughter refused to believe it, even in death, that the man didn't know the woman had already given birth to Zhou Yi when he went to Luzhou!
"President Su."
Hearing the commotion inside the office, the secretary knocked on the door to inquire.
"roll!"
The adopted daughter roared in anger.
The knocking stopped, and the only sound was the adopted daughter's angry panting.
She suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the office, still unable to suppress her anger.
"Yu Anping, how dare you lie to me!"
"How could you lie to me? You clearly promised to handle everything. Because I trusted you, I never doubted you..."
The adopted daughter clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she muttered the name of her confidante.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in them, as if she had made up her mind.
I picked up my phone from the table and called my son.
"Mommy, what brings you to call me?"
"Are you missing me?" His son's hearty laughter came through the phone.
Her son was raised abroad from a young age and has rarely returned to China in recent years.
Although the mother and son rarely see each other, she sends her son a considerable amount of living expenses every month and also shows concern for him regularly, so her son is quite close to her.
"Ah Jian, you haven't been back to China in a long time."
"Grandpa hasn't been feeling well lately, you should go back to China for a while."
"Okay, I'll book my flight back home right away."
When Su Jian heard her mother telling her to return to China, her son on the other end of the phone sounded surprised and happy.
He had said before that he wanted to return to China, but for some reason, his mother always disagreed with his return.
Unexpectedly, his mother suddenly changed her mind and asked him to come back.
"Mommy, you've finally let me come back."
"To be honest, I'm tired of staying here. I had planned to go to the Middle East with my classmates, but if you ask me to go back to China, then I'll change my flight."
"I love you, Mommy."
After talking with her son for a while, the adopted daughter felt a little better.
Her son wasn't her child with her ex-husband; she had secretly given birth to him abroad without his knowledge. Originally, she wanted her son to take Old Master Qi's surname.
But the old man said the most heartless thing with a smile: The Su family line must not be broken.
She had no choice but to let her son take her surname, Su.
Her son's surname was also a major concern for her. She wanted her son to inherit Old Master Qi's estate openly and legitimately, but Old Master Qi was unwilling to give her son even a surname.
She knew that, ultimately, it was because Old Master Qi didn't treat Su Jian as his Qi family's true grandson.
So when Zhou Yi appeared, she was furious and wished he would disappear immediately.
The news that Zhou Yi is still alive must not reach the old man's ears, otherwise, her son will never be able to become a true grandson of the Qi family.
This is also why she suddenly changed her mind and let her son return to China.
Secondly!
There is another, unspeakable reason, which is—
After calming down, the adopted daughter returned to the Qi family and first asked about the old man's whereabouts.
Only after learning that the old man was not home did she head to the basement.
Upon seeing the back of the man who had deceived her in the basement, he was even leisurely shooting at targets. Ha, does he deserve to be so at ease?!
She walked over angrily, her high heels clicking on the floor.
The man seemed to sense something, put down his gun, and turned to face her.
"Smack!"
A heavy slap landed on the man's face.
Even after being slapped in the face by a woman, the man remained expressionless, only reaching out to remove the earmuffs from his ears.
Even if the basement can block out all sound and prevent it from reaching the upstairs.
But the adopted daughter still spoke cautiously. It was clear she was angry; she suppressed her voice, her face dark as she stared at him and questioned him in a low voice:
"Yu Anping! Are you trying to kill me?!"
"No wonder when I questioned you about where she was, you only replied that everything was taken care of and refused to reveal anything else."
"I trusted you so much back then, I believed you could really do anything for me, I believed you could really solve all these problems, but what happened?!"
"For so many years, I kept it a secret from everyone, from my ex-husband, and secretly gave birth to a son for you, and raised him with great difficulty."
"Is this how you treat me?"
"Do you know that by keeping him alive, my son and I could die at any moment!"
Faced with his adopted daughter's questioning, Yu Anping's eyes remained unmoved, and he simply asked calmly, "You know everything about him?"
“I’ve handled those secrets very cleanly. He was young back then and knew nothing. He would never have come to Kyoto to block your way. As long as we pretend we don’t know anything, everything will be the same as before.”
"Considering that the old man raised you for decades, could you... possibly leave him an heir?"
When the adopted daughter saw that Yu Anping was no longer even trying to hide his true feelings, he was actually implying that she was ruthless.
Enraged, the adopted daughter raised her hand and reached out to slap Yu Anping again, but Yu Anping grabbed her wrist forcefully.
As their eyes met, the adopted daughter saw a resolute glint in his calm gaze.
She sneered and mocked, "Leave an heir? Ha, Yu Anping, you betrayed the old man long ago. Don't you find it ridiculous to pretend to be loyal now?"
