Chapter 15 You Will Always Be Mine
Xie Yanwen received a call from his father a few days ago, asking him to go back to the old house on Sunday. His sister Xie Zhu, who had been studying abroad for three years, had returned.
Xie Yonghan, Xie Zhu's father, has always loved Xie Zhu very much since he was a child, and he would give him anything he wanted.
Xie Zhu was only one year younger than Xie Yanwen. Xie Yanwen actually loved his sister very much in the past. Until he was sixteen, he heard his parents quarreling and learned that Xie Zhu was not actually his parents' biological child, but the daughter of Xie Yonghan's friend.
That friend died because of Xie Yonghan. Xie Zhu was less than half a year old at that time.
Xie Zhu's mother Su Yalan found Xie Yonghan and asked him to adopt Xie Zhu.
Xie Yonghan did not hesitate.
If it were just like this, Xie Yanwen felt that he could understand it and would continue to love Xie Zhu as his sister.
But he clearly heard his parents' argument that day.
At first, Xie Yonghan said in a slightly irritable tone: "The two children have a good relationship, what's wrong with letting them be together? Knowing each other well and growing up together is better than finding a girl from a noble family who has no feelings for him to marry later, right?"
His mother sneered, "No matter how good their relationship is, it's still brother-sister love. Xie Yonghan, you're shameless yourself, don't you think your son is as shameless as you?"
Xie Yanwen was stunned.
He stood outside the door and didn't leave. He heard his mother continue, "Qin Chuan is your benefactor, so Su Yalan asked us to help her raise her daughter. Okay. I also believe that I have never treated Xie Zhu unfairly, and my love for her is no less than A Wen's.
But if I had known that Su Yalan had such malicious intentions when she sent the child here, I would never have let her enter the house."
The mother's voice was trembling violently, and her voice was sharp yet full of tears. "Xie Yonghan, you've done so many ridiculous things over the years under the pretext of taking care of Su Yalan. Do you really think I don't know? I didn't point it out because I didn't want Ah Wen to know how despicable and shameless his father was, that he could fool around with the wife of his dead friend."
"I can tolerate you and her doing anything that hurts me, but my tolerance doesn't include you secretly plotting to turn my child into a tool of your ugly love."
The mother became increasingly hysterical: "Su Yalan has a good plan. She stole my husband and now wants to steal my son. I tell you, dream on! Awen is my bottom line. No one is allowed to touch him!"
"Send Qin Zhu abroad immediately, otherwise, I will let everyone know how despicable and shameless you, Xie Yonghan, and Su Yalan are! Do you think your father will still let you take over the Xie family when that happens?"
Xie Yanwen admitted that when he understood those words, his world collapsed a little.
He thought his parents, who were a loving couple, had actually been estranged for a long time.
He respected and admired his father and fell in love with his friend's wife who died for him.
The sister he loved since childhood was not his sister. His father even raised her at home just to cultivate a relationship with him.
After that, he could no longer love his sister, and even felt an uncontrollable disgust towards her.
Although he also felt at that time that Xie Zhu was not to be blamed for all this, she was also a victim.
But he really couldn't act like he loved her, and he couldn't even talk to her properly, so he could only avoid her.
Fortunately, not long after, his father sent Xie Zhu abroad because of his mother's insistence.
A year ago, Xie Yanwen's mother died of illness.
Last month, my grandfather completely handed over the position of head of the family to Xie Yonghan.
Perhaps because there was finally no more restraint, Xie Yonghan didn't want to endure it any longer.
The first thing he did was to bring Xie Zhu back and hold a banquet for her on Sunday to let the whole sea know about her return.
When Xie Yanwen received the call, he looked up at the ceiling in a daze for a long time.
He thought, Xie Yonghan is really anxious.
Is this true love?
Of course, he really didn't want to go back.
After Xie Zhu went abroad, she would contact him frequently at first, but he never answered her calls or replied to her messages.
Gradually she realized something and stopped contacting him.
Xie Yanwen almost forgot about this person.
Until now, my father took Xie Zhu back.
But no matter how ridiculous these things are, they are still the secrets of the Xie family.
Even the grandfather didn't know how shameless his thoughts were. Although he knew that his son was with Su Yalan, he didn't know that his son was planning to sell his grandson.
So, how did Xu Nianyi know?
Xu Nianyi even said that at the banquet Xie Yonghan held for Xie Zhu, she would explain her identity on the spot and let her return to her surname Qin and change her name to Qin Zhu.
So, Xie Yanwen came to confirm it.
He was still habitually dressed in black, with his baseball cap pulled down to half cover his brows and eyes. He leaned casually against the pillar in the corner of the banquet hall, looking at the "family of three" on the stage without any emotion.
Xie Yonghan told a touching story, telling how his friend had saved him and died for him, and how he had adopted Qin Zhu. Now that Qin Zhu was an adult, he should tell her the truth. But as long as she agreed, she would always be his, Xie Yonghan's, daughter!
Su Yalan wiped her tears with red eyes, saying that she was useless and couldn't even take care of her own children. In order for her to have a complete family, she had to be adopted by the Xie family.
Xie Zhu, who was less than 20 years old, wore a beautiful golden gauze dress and had her long curly hair braided into a princess bun. Her delicate makeup had been smudged by tears. She listened to their words in disbelief, and finally cried out "Dad", then threw herself into Su Yalan's arms and called "Mom".
He looked sad and shocked, but accepted it pretty quickly.
The guests also showed touched expressions.
Only Xie Yanwen curled the corners of his lips in a slightly bored manner.
Xie Zhu, no, Qin Zhu's poor acting skills are not even one-third as good as that liar Xu Nianyi.
Thinking of that liar, and thinking of those few words she said yesterday, which were rarely serious, "You will get hurt."
Xie Yanwen sneered.
To be honest, he was really hurt when he learned the truth and when his mother passed away.
But now his heart is still strong, and he doesn't feel that uncomfortable about this scene.
At most, I just feel a little nauseous.
He rubbed his stomach, smiled nonchalantly, and turned to leave. Unfortunately, someone saw him at this moment and called out, "Fifth Young Master is here too?"
In the somewhat quiet banquet hall at the moment, this sound stood out particularly.
The three people on the stage naturally heard it as well, and they all looked over with red eyes.
Can't leave.
Xie Yanwen tapped his hat irritably.
You should wear a mask too.
The drama of recognizing relatives was over, and everyone sat around the table. Just as Xie Yanwen sat down next to Xie Yonghan, he heard the text message alert tone on his mobile phone.
A text message from a number marked "scammer" reads: "This is a gentle reminder from your precious daughter. Be a good girl and don't drink alcohol~"
Xie Yanwen got a headache just looking at that name.
She used a nickname that was intimate, but it gave off a strange and sinful feeling.
But no drinking?
Xie Yanwen's eyes darkened slightly.
The next second, a glass of wine was handed to him.
Xie Yanwen looked down the wine glass and saw that it was Xie Yonghan. He sighed and said to him, "You haven't seen your sister for three years. Come have a drink with her."
Xie Yonghan didn't know that Xie Yanwen already knew the whole truth. He only told him the version of the story he told his grandfather not long ago.
Perhaps it was because Qin Zhu was not his biological daughter. He and Su Yalan fell in love with each other uncontrollably during their years of getting along, and he knew that he had let his friend down and was suffering.
Now that their children have grown up, they have finally decided not to endure it anymore and want to be together.
Xie Yonghan hopes that his father and children can understand and fulfill his love.
As for the idea of pairing Xie Yanwen and Qin Zhu, he did not mention it.
Xie Yanwen also thought that maybe Xie Yonghan had given up.
Until this moment, looking at the glass of wine handed to him, and thinking about the reminder text message that seemed to be sent at the right time.
Xie Yanwen gritted his teeth.
Couldn't she have sent this text message earlier, for fear that he couldn't drink the wine?
His face showed no emotion, he just took the wine glass, the corners of his lips curved lazily: "Okay."
He turned to look at Qin Zhu, who was sitting on the other side of him and had already washed her face and put on new makeup.
Her eyes were still red, and tears welled up in them as she looked at him. She looked so weak, like a hound in the skin of a poor, helpless rabbit.
Xie Yanwen felt like a weak and helpless rabbit in a doghouse, being stared at by three dogs, who wanted him to drink the wine or he would not be able to leave the doghouse.
Tsk~
bother!
Xie Yanwen casually raised his glass towards Qin Zhu, tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp, his sharp Adam's apple sliding.
The effects of the alcohol came on quickly, and I felt dizzy almost as soon as I put down the glass.
Xie Yanwen frowned, supported his forehead with one hand and rubbed it slowly, looking uncomfortable.
The light in Qin Zhu's eyes was so bright that it was frightening at that moment.
Xie Yonghan spoke at the right moment: "Awen, have you drunk too much?"
He waved to the assistant behind him: "Help the young master go upstairs to rest."
About ten minutes after Xie Yanwen was helped away, Su Yalan winked at Qin Zhu, indicating that the effect of the medicine should be almost over.
Qin Zhu put down his chopsticks, looking worried: "I'm worried that my brother is not feeling well. I'll go see him."
Su Yalan smiled appropriately: "It's time to go check it out and ask the waiter to prepare some hangover soup for your brother."
Qin Zhu smiled and nodded obediently, then stood up and left.
In the suite on the top floor of the hotel, Xie Yanwen lay flat on the bed with the back of his hands resting on his eyes.
White lights flashed before my eyes, and my brain was filled with fog, making it almost impossible to think.
It's really cruel.
If he still had a little bit of hope in Xie Yonghan before drinking it, he would think that Xie Yonghan would not give his son too strong a drug.
Xie Yanwen is now completely sober.
In Xie Yonghan's eyes, I am probably not a son, but a duck that can be sold at will for his love.
Even though his heart was hard now, he had to admit that Xu Nianyi was right.
He is injured.
There is still a bit of tightness and pain in the chest.
So, relying on his strong willpower, he dialed the number of the "scammer" on his mobile phone.
The person on the other end must be waiting for him, as the call was connected after only one ring.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xie Yanwen spoke first, his voice hoarse to the point of being almost silent: "If you don't want a stepmother, then hurry up and save your father."
Unexpectedly, the girl opposite was not nervous at all, but laughed: "You really drank it? Didn't I remind you not to drink it?"
Her voice was still very sweet, so sweet that it made Xie Yanwen feel even more uncomfortable.
It felt like all the blood in my body was flowing backwards, and I was about to explode with heat.
He rubbed his face, staggered to his feet, and stumbled towards the bathroom, sneering irritably, "If you could have reminded me a little later, I could have had a couple more drinks."
Xu Nianyi didn't feel guilty, but instead said unscrupulously, "Just drink it."
Xie Yanwen was gritting his teeth when he heard her sweet smile again. He was very heartless: "Anyway, the drug they gave me was too strong. Not only can I not get an erection, but it has also been withered for ten years. So there is no possibility of having a stepmother. The baby will always be mine."
Xie Yanwen: “?!”
He stumbled and bumped his head against the bathroom door. The severe pain sobered him up a little and filled him with fear.
Fuck!
Fortunately, he didn't actually swallow the wine!
