Chapter 781 An Opportunity Falling from the Sky
For people like Yuan Youan, the truth is unimportant; what matters is the benefits and reputation he can gain by helping the criminal escape punishment."
I was silent for a moment, thinking about what Xiao Shiqiu had said about Yuan Youan's father-in-law, so I asked, "He relied on his father-in-law to get to where he is today. Could it be that now that his father-in-law has stepped down, he has turned against him?"
Xiao Shiqiu raised his eyebrows. "That's not the case. His father-in-law passed away a few years ago. Not long after that, I heard that he had another woman outside. At the end of last year, he had separated from his original wife."
At this point, Xiao Shiqiu sneered and said, "When his father-in-law was alive, he and his wife were a model couple in the circle. It's really hard for him to pretend for so long."
I suddenly realized, "So he's not afraid of his wife finding out about Xiao Tiantian, that's why he readily acknowledged this daughter as his own."
"I'm afraid it's more than that," Xiao Shiqiu said with a sneer on his face. "Although the He family's strength is not as great as our Xiao family's, their connections in the political and business circles cannot be underestimated."
He glanced meaningfully in the direction of the emergency room and said, "What's more, I already have a daughter. This is an opportunity that fell from the sky."
As he was speaking, Yuan Youan came back from having his blood drawn. He Qingrong followed him closely, acting as if she regarded him as her backbone.
Anyone who sees this will think that this is a loving couple who are extremely worried about their daughter.
When they came out and saw that we were still there, they pretended to be surprised and asked, "Boss Xiao hasn't left yet?"
Xiao Shiqiu stood up calmly, "It seems that Tiantian is fine, we are about to leave..."
A nurse came out with the bill, "Are you Xiao Tiantian's family member? Please pay the bill."
Seeing the nurse looking at us, I pointed at Yuan Youan and said, "Miss, this man is Xiao Tiantian's father. Just go find him."
Yuan Youan seemed to have not had time to adapt to his new identity. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said, "Yes, I am the patient's father. Give me the list."
As he spoke, Yuan Youan stretched out his hand to take the bill. I noticed that he had taken off the wedding ring on his ring finger, but the mark was still there. I could tell at a glance that he had just taken it off. His little thought was obvious.
Although He Qingrong looks quite young, her age is there after all. Now she is acting like a delicate little girl and following Yuan Youan. I think it looks a bit eye-catching.
Maybe if she was like this when I first met her, I might think it was okay.
But when she appeared with the young hunk before, she clearly had the aura of a superior heroine, but suddenly she became so delicate that I felt like she had gone to the wrong set.
But Yuan Youan probably didn't feel that way. His face was full of caring. The two of them were so affectionate and loving that you would have thought they were a newlywed couple.
Yuan Youan took the bill and turned to pay. We were about to go home when the door to the emergency room suddenly opened and a doctor came out and said, "Who is the patient's father? The patient has woken up and is very emotionally unstable. He keeps shouting that he wants to see his father."
Yuan Youan stepped forward hurriedly, "I am the patient's father."
The doctor had never seen Xiao Shiqiu before, so he didn't suspect anything and said casually, "You are Mr. Xiao, right? Then come in with me."
Yuan Youan paused and said awkwardly, "My last name is Yuan..."
The doctor turned around with some confusion, "But the patient said her father is Xiao Shiqiu..."
Yuan Youan was even more embarrassed now. "...I am her biological father. I was the one who donated blood just now..."
"I'm Xiao Shiqiu, the patient's adoptive father. I'll go see her." Xiao Shiqiu said calmly.
"Okay, come in with me." The doctor didn't bother to figure out the complicated family relationships in front of him. As long as he found the person, that was all that mattered.
He led the way while giving instructions, "The patient is emotionally unstable, so try not to irritate her."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Xiao Shiqiu pulled me to follow behind, and his calm tone made the doctor feel relieved.
I think it's a little too early for the doctor to be relieved. It will be difficult not to upset Xiao Tiantian with what happened today.
Yuan Youan and He Qingrong followed behind and wanted to enter the emergency room. The doctor frowned and said, "Keep quiet in there. There will be too many people if you all go in."
Yuan Youan quickly stated, "We are the patient's biological parents. Don't worry, we promise not to disturb the patient."
The doctor hesitated and agreed.
When they walked inside, Xiao Tiantian was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. A blood bag was hanging on the bed and she was still receiving a blood transfusion. When she saw Xiao Shiqiu come in, tears immediately flowed out, "Dad, what you said today is not true, right? You are just angry about my prank at the party, right? How could I not be your biological child?"
Xiao Shiqiu hesitated for a few seconds, carefully considering his words, "What I said today is not entirely true..."
Xiao Tiantian's eyes lit up, and hope shone in them.
Then Xiao Shiqiu continued slowly, "You are indeed not my cousin's daughter."
"I knew it wasn't true!" Xiao Tiantian was a little excited.
Unfortunately, Xiao Shiqiu's next words immediately shattered Xiao Tiantian's hopes, "Of course, she's definitely not my daughter. The truth I told you at the banquet was what I thought was the truth, but I only found out tonight that your surname is not Xiao, but Yuan.
Therefore, at best, I can only be considered your adoptive father."
Before Xiao Tiantian could digest what Xiao Shiqiu had just said, Yuan Youan couldn't wait to come out and make his presence felt.
He stepped forward, smiled what he thought was a loving smile, and said, "Tiantian, I'm your dad, you should actually call me Yuan Tiantian.
The blood you are transfusing now was drawn from your father's body.
Please forgive Dad for only knowing about your existence now, but don’t blame your mom. She endured humiliation and hardship for so many years to raise you. It was not easy. From now on, our family of three can finally live together..."
During Yuan Youan's heartfelt speech, Xiao Tiantian's eyes became more and more terrified. Suddenly, she screamed and ripped the needle off the back of her hand. Blood immediately gushed out, "Go away. I don't know you. I'm not your daughter. I'm Xiao Tiantian."
The doctor and nurse rushed forward to hold her bleeding hand. "Ms. Xiao, you must have a blood transfusion now, otherwise your life will be in danger. Please stay calm and cooperate with the treatment."
As they spoke, they held Xiao Tiantian down. A nurse looked at us dissatisfiedly, "I told you not to irritate the patient, why did you do this?
Can't things like recognizing relatives be postponed? Why must it be done right now?
Did you rent this out? Are you anxious because you ran out of money or something?"
Yuan Youan's face flushed red, but he couldn't refute anything, so he had to humble himself and apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I didn't expect the child to react so strongly..."
