On the other end of the phone, Huo Xize felt as if he had been hit on the head with a blunt object, his heart aching dully.
He suppressed his excitement, his lips trembled slightly, and he smiled calmly, "It's Xiaoyun. However, although I would love to have a daughter as wonderful as you, you can't just call her that, or my daughter will get jealous."
Xu Qingyun felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing all her excitement.
She never expected that Hoczez would deny their relationship.
She didn't believe her guess could be wrong, and she felt a connection with Hoczez.
"Mr. Huo, what is your relationship with my mother?"
"I once admired your mother." Huo Xize said very seriously, making it hard to tell if he was telling the truth.
Xu Qingyun didn't believe it at all. How could it be as simple as just admiration?
If her judgment wasn't wrong, then it could only mean that Huo Xize didn't want to acknowledge her!
"This is quite abrupt, but could you please ask Mr. Huo to do a paternity test with me?" Xu Qingyun's voice was cold.
Huo Xize readily agreed, "Okay. I'll come to Nancheng to find you. Do you have any reliable agencies there?"
"have."
“Okay, then you make the arrangements, and we’ll celebrate the New Year together,” Huo Xize said with a smile.
His calm and composed demeanor only made Xu Qingyun more uncertain.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyun held it to her chest, lost in thought.
Ji Hanchen frowned. "Huo Xize doesn't acknowledge that he's your father?"
"Hmm." Xu Qingyun pulled herself together and put her phone back on the coffee table. "He's coming to Nancheng to spend New Year's Day with me."
Ji Hanchen suddenly smiled mockingly, "He seems to be in a greater hurry than you, not even waiting until after New Year's Day to come."
"Besides, you belong to him, you should go to Haicheng to find him, but he wants to come to Nancheng instead."
Xu Qingyun nodded, "I feel the same way. He doesn't seem to really want me to go to Haicheng."
Perhaps it was just her imagination.
Ji Hanchen grasped her hand. "Ruiting is in Nancheng. I'll have him come and do your paternity test."
"good."
Xu Qingyun has few friends and no one she can trust, but Ji Hanchen's friends are trustworthy.
After a moment of silence, Ji Hanchen asked in a deep voice, "What should we do with Ye An's ashes?"
Xu Qingyun picked up her phone. "I'll have Ye Jingnan come and get it."
Xu Qingyun didn't really know much about Ye An. She only remembered that ever since Ye An took her abroad, there had never been a woman by his side.
Shen Luo also investigated Ye An and found that, apart from Ye Jingnan's mother, he had never married anyone else.
However, Ye Jingnan's mother died of brain cancer at a young age, so Ye An raised Ye Jingnan alone.
Ye An's only relative should be Ye Jingnan.
Half an hour later, Ye Jingnan rushed over, covered in a chill.
Ji Hanchen didn't let Ye Jingnan into the house, but stopped him in the stairwell.
Ye Jingnan gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Can't I see Xiaoyun?"
Ji Hanchen stood tall and imposing in the doorway. Despite being dressed in casual clothes, his sharp gaze and intimidating aura exuded a powerful sense of pressure.
He asked coldly, "What right do you have to see Yunyun?"
Ye Jingnan was speechless, but he desperately wanted to see her.
"I need to see Xiaoyun. I have something important to tell her." Ye Jingnan's voice was tense and serious.
Ji Hanchen lowered his eyes, his voice icy, "It's the same if you tell me."
Ye Jingnan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "I only spoke to Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun is an independent person, what right do you have to make decisions for her?!"
Ji Hanchen scoffed, "Because I'm her man, and she'll be her husband in the future!"
Ye Jingnan's face turned pale, and her heart clenched with pain.
At that moment, the front door opened, and Xu Qingyun stood in the doorway, her gaze indifferent.
She didn't speak, as if waiting for Ye Jingnan to speak first.
Ye Jingnan looked at her cold face, and even breathing hurt. If he hadn't hidden anything, would he and Xiaoyun have never completely broken up and become strangers?
"I didn't know that Grandpa would threaten you with my father's ashes." Ye Jingnan said with great difficulty.
"Whether you know it or not is irrelevant. I only asked you to come so that you could take the things back."
"Buy him a burial plot. The Ye family cemetery is fine, but if Ye Boyun could think of using my mother's ashes to threaten me, he can use Ye An's ashes to pressure you."
Ye Jingnan's pupils contracted. "Xiaoyun, are you still worried about me?"
"No." Xu Qingyun replied decisively.
“Ye An… is not my father.” Ye Jingnan lowered his eyes. “He has never been with any other woman. He truly loves your mother.”
"Love?!" Xu Qingyun suddenly sneered. "Are you sure that's love? If it were love, would you lie to me and say I was raped, and make me take those drugs?!"
"Xiaoyun, I..."
"Enough! There's nothing more to say, just leave." Xu Qingyun said coldly, then walked straight to the bedroom and closed the door.
Ye Jingnan took a deep breath and met Ji Hanchen's eyes, which were even darker than ink, without saying a word.
Ji Hanchen's gaze was icy. "What is the important thing you want to say?"
Ye Jingnan took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "On the day my aunt was found, Ye Xiao received a phone call telling her that her aunt had been taken away by someone, and Ye Xiao was investigating this person."
Ji Hanchen's pupils contracted sharply. "You're saying someone in the Xu family has always known about Xiaoyun's mother?"
Ye Jingnan shook his head, "I don't think it's that simple. My aunt was so badly injured, even with the strongest willpower, she couldn't possibly have lasted sixteen years."
Ji Hanchen pursed his thin lips.
Yes, Ye Jianjia was crippled in the accident, but her eyes and tongue were intact.
