Yue Lanxing calmly made these moves, and Xu Zhaoyue did not hesitate to help him into the car. Xue Huzi, on the other hand, sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When getting out of the car, Yue Lanxing still stretched out his arm for Xu Zhaoyue to hold. Xu Zhaoyue observed him as she got out of the car. Although Yue Lanxing had his head down, she couldn't help but feel that he was smiling.
Yue Lanxing was indeed happy, but only in his heart. After sending the young lady to her office, he made a phone call. A servant answered the phone, but after introducing himself, he immediately went to find Yue Mingze.
"You called today? So fast?" Yue Mingze was still a little incredulous. Shouldn't this kind of thing be difficult to handle?
"Yes, I'm free today. I've already looked into this matter. You can decide on the location, but I hope Uncle Yue will also be there." Yue Lanxing's request wasn't unreasonable.
Yue Mingze agreed, "Okay, it's good that you called now. My second uncle is free this morning. Come to Maple Leaf Mansion at ten o'clock. Don't worry about coming."
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Yue Lanxing went to report to Xu Zhaoyue, "Miss, I have an appointment with the Yue family at ten o'clock. The conversation should last for half an hour. I will be back at noon."
Xu Zhaoyue glanced at her watch. "We're leaving soon. Oh, right, take some gifts with you. Why didn't I think of that last night? It's probably too late for you to buy them now. There's a bottle of Moutai in that cabinet that's quite a vintage."
Xu Zhaoyue pointed to the cabinet in the small bedroom, thankfully she had prepared some beforehand, "Take these."
Yue Lanxing was somewhat surprised. He hadn't quite figured out why he had brought a gift. He had always been hostile to the Yue family and was treating this meeting as a task, so his confusion was understandable.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Zhaoyue changed her approach, "It's not for any other reason than that you going to their house represents my status. Anyone who sees you go to the Yue family will know that I sent you. We can't be disrespectful to the Xu family."
"Okay, I'll take it." He understood that the young lady's instructions were for his own good.
When Yue Lanxing appeared at Maple Leaf Mansion, Yue Wenzhi, Yue Mingze, and Yue Mingyuan were already dressed and waiting for him. Even Uncle Wang Tianshi was standing behind them, quietly craning his neck.
"Hello, Uncle Yue, hello to you both." Yue Lanxing greeted them after being led inside by a servant, and the servant behind him placed the gifts on the table.
However, neither side discussed the gift. Yue Wenzhi simply felt that the young man was well-mannered and came today with a sense of confidence, which suggested he had something to rely on.
"Hey, why...why did you hit me?" Yue Mingze was about to speak when Yue Mingyuan smacked him with her elbow. "Shut up!"
Seeing their actions, Yue Lanxing decided to get straight to the point. "You are Yue Wenzhi, and your sister is Yue Wenzhu... Madam, right?" He hesitated before using the word "Madam."
When Yue Wenzhi heard him mention his sister, he immediately perked up. He wondered why Yue Wenzhi would ask such a question first. "She's my sister. Is there a connection between you mentioning Azhu?"
"Perhaps. Do you know someone named Wang Qingqing?" Yue Lanxing was also trying to probe their information.
A thought flashed through Yue Wenzhi's mind, but he had no information about this person. Just as he was about to ask why he was asking about his sister and this person together, the sound of Uncle Wang behind him gasping for breath startled him.
"Who is it?" Uncle Tian asked with his eyes when he saw his reaction. Uncle Wang's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't figure it out. Instead, everyone's attention was focused on him.
“Old Wang, if you remember, just say so. Why are you playing riddles? Your eyelids are about to fall off,” Yue Wenzhi said.
Uncle Wang glanced at Yue Wenzhi, then at Yue Lanxing across from him. Maybe that's the connection! "Wang Qingqing is my cousin, and also the Third Miss's maid."
"The maid who went out with the Third Miss but didn't come back," Uncle Wang added in more detail.
"This!" Yue Wenzhi suddenly realized that he had returned home because he had run into his sister's unfaithful husband. By the time he brought him back, his sister had already gone home.
"You're not my sister, are you? Isn't she dead?" Yue Wenzhi's voice was quite loud, but then he realized he had said the wrong thing and fell silent.
“My mother, who has been with me for over twenty years, is Wang Qingqing. If what my mother told me is true, then Ms. Yue Wenzhu and I are mother and son. The Xu family has the means to conduct paternity tests, and I believe that Beijing also has them. I can provide you with what you need.”
Yue Lanxing himself felt incredibly calm as he spoke these words. He took a deep breath and continued, "However, even if medicine can prove what I'm saying, I have no intention of acknowledging my ancestry."
"I'm saying all this today just to make it clear that I'm not an illegitimate child. The Yue family doesn't need to keep an eye on me or bother my mother; she's already old."
"That's all I wanted to say." Yue Lanxing stood up, preparing to take her leave.
"Wait a minute!" Yue Wenzhi also stood up and quickly went over to stop him. "Please sit down first, I have something to ask you."
Yue Lanxing sat down as instructed. "Okay, I'll answer if I know the answer." This made Yue Wenzhi seem unusually agitated.
"What's going on? Auntie was married and has a child, how come we didn't know?" Yue Mingze didn't dare to ask Yue Wenzhi, and just whispered to Yue Mingyuan.
Yue Mingyuan shook her head. She knew her aunt had been married, but what about the child? They hadn't heard from each other at all.
Yue Wenzhi's mind was a bit confused. What else could he ask? Wang Qingqing's identity had been verified by Lao Wang, and everyone had said that she could fully cooperate with the testing. It seemed there was nothing else he needed to ask.
