Chapter 145 It Doesn’t Affect Our Marriage
It turned out that after Song Jihe discussed Li Qingqing's life experience with Lu Yan's grandmother yesterday, the grandmother wanted to meet the child very much.
She wanted to talk to the child in person about her life experience. If it was confirmed that she was a descendant of the Li family, then as Li Qingqing's distant relatives, it would be natural for them to take her to recognize her ancestors.
My great-grandmother had seven children in total, and only the eldest and youngest were girls, so she was particularly fond of these two daughters.
Although they have a big age gap, because they both grew up with their great-grandmother and Lu Yan's grandmother got married relatively late, the two sisters have quite a lot of time to spend together and their relationship is much closer than other brothers.
Now that her own sister's granddaughter may be lost and found again, the grandmother must keep a close eye on this matter for her sister.
Furthermore, Li Hualan died young. If the Li family knew that her bloodline had been continued, they would probably be very relieved.
After all, no matter how terrible what happened back then was, more than 20 years have passed. The child is innocent after all, and even if they have grievances, they cannot blame the child.
So after the two of them discussed it, Song Jihe asked Butler Liang for Li Qingqing's contact information.
At that time, Lu Yan had just left Wanhua when Li Qingqing received a call from Song Jihe.
After Song Jihe explained the situation to her, Li Qingqing was not opposed to meeting her mother's side of the family, but she was a little confused about the fact that she and Lu Yan were suddenly going to become cousins.
She never imagined that the jade lock she lost would reveal another part of her life story. What kind of fate was this?
Fortunately, Song Jihe had explained it very clearly to her on the phone. Although they had the same great-grandmother, they were not from the same lineage.
So Li Qingqing bought a plane ticket and flew to Xiangcheng, arriving two hours before or after Lu Yan.
"Do you want to invite someone in?" the butler asked again.
"I'll pick it up, don't worry about it."
At this moment, Lu Yan no longer cared about why Song Jihe had asked Li Qingqing to come without telling him. He quickly came to the gate of the courtyard and saw Li Qingqing looking into the courtyard with curiosity on her face.
The two saw each other from a distance and were both shocked.
Lu Yan never thought that Li Qingqing would suddenly appear at the door of his grandmother's house one day, which gave him the illusion that he was taking her "back to her parents' home."
Lu Yan's grandparents died early, so his grandparents' home gave him a sense of belonging.
Li Qingqing had originally come here without telling Lu Yan. When Song Jihe called her, he specifically told her not to tell Lu Yan about this matter first.
Because she was afraid that if Lu Yan knew that she had met with Li Qingqing alone again, he would definitely accuse her of meddling in other people's business.
So when Li Qingqing saw Lu Yan here, she was really surprised. She thought he was still busy in the company?
"You...why are you here?"
Looking at her expression, Lu Yan knew that Song Jihe must have told her something. Maybe she wanted to take advantage of his absence and secretly use their relationship to put pressure on Li Qingqing to make her leave on her own initiative.
Lu Yan felt somewhat depressed when he thought about how Li Qingqing had encountered such a thing and had not discussed it with him immediately.
He went over, took her hand, led her into the yard, and said with resentment, "My mother asked you to come find her, why didn't you tell me?"
Li Qingqing looked inside with a guilty conscience, then pulled her hand out of his, blushing and saying, "It wouldn't be good if Aunt Song saw us... and do you know what our relationship is now...?"
In fact, Li Qingqing was very nervous at this time.
Although Song Jihe said on the phone that she was not sure whether Li Qingqing was a member of the Li family, Li Qingqing was sure that she was Li Hualan's daughter, but she did not tell Song Jihe directly on the phone at that time.
Because when talking about Li Hualan and her own life experience, she had to mention the Wei family. The past events could not be explained in just a few words, so she simply decided to come over first and talk about it later.
Lu Yan knew that she asked this because Song Jihe must have told her about their relationship.
He looked at her seriously, his dark eyes full of determination.
"I know, but this won't affect our marriage."
“…”
Li Qingqing raised her head and looked at him blankly, with a layer of mist in her eyes.
"...You know everything?"
In fact, Li Qingqing had secretly checked on the plane and found that people with kinship beyond three generations can get married.
Her reserve at this moment was not because of their current relationship, but because she had just returned to this big family and had an affair with her cousin, which made her feel a little ashamed.
Lu Yan took her hand again and said firmly, "Silly girl, you don't even know how I managed to get through the past two days."
He kissed the back of her hand fearfully.
Li Qingqing really didn't know about his inner struggle in the past two days, nor did she expect that he didn't know so much about his family members.
"So... you were so depressed the past two days because of this?"
Lu Yan nodded aggrievedly, "When I think about the possibility that you might be my cousin, I don't know how to face you in the future."
Li Qingqing burst out laughing. "Why? How could I be your cousin?"
Lu Yan: "It's not impossible. Think about it, you and my mother have the same jade locket, so I preconceived that you might be of the same generation as her."
Li Qingqing nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that this could indeed lead people to think in the wrong way.
But she still didn't understand why he couldn't figure out such a simple kinship relationship for several days.
"But as long as you know that my mother is your mother's cousin, wouldn't the generation relationship be automatically clear?"
Lu Yan explained to her in a serious tone, "This is the problem of information barriers. If I knew the situation of your mother's family, I wouldn't have to scare myself here."
"Ultimately, it's all my great-grandmother's fault. She gave birth to so many children. There's a twenty-year age difference between my grandmother and yours, so based on their ages, the probability that you're my aunt is really high."
He held her small hand in his palm and rubbed it, "But fortunately, your grandmother and your mother both had children relatively early, so there wasn't a big age gap between us."
Is that really the case? Li Qingqing really didn't know much about her great-grandmother.
Lu Yan raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, then smiled and said, "You don't have any worries now, right?"
Seeing that the two men had not arrived yet, Song Jihe also went out to greet them.
After a few steps, she saw the two of them being intimate. She coughed lightly and reminded them, "Ayan, have you forgotten what you just promised me?"
Li Qingqing immediately pulled her hand away when she saw Song Jihe, and greeted her with an awkward expression, "Auntie Song."
Seeing that she was quite understanding, Song Jihe immediately put on a friendly smile, but his words clearly contained a hidden warning for her to recognize her own identity.
"Oh, Qingqing, you are our family now, Ayan's sister. Don't call me Aunt Song anymore. Just call me cousin."
Lu Yan was very disgusted with Song Jihe's hypocritical behavior. He was about to say something in rebuttal but was immediately stopped by Li Qingqing's eyes.
She turned around and nodded obediently at Song Jihe, calling her "Auntie".
Lu Yan understood Li Qingqing's thoughts. She just wanted to consider the face and feelings of her elders and be a good girl.
He was willing to cooperate with her. After all, she would be his sooner or later and couldn't run away.
Moreover, this kind of underground relationship model is not the first time he has played with her, he is very good at it.
