Upon hearing this, Ji Zhinan shook his head: "I never wanted to obtain anything from the Warrens family."
Eddie looked at her and said, "You are the patriarch's daughter, the eldest daughter of the Warrens family. Some things are yours even if you never wanted them."
“The family already knows about your existence, and the elders have been urging your uncle to bring you back to Europe so that you can be recognized as part of the family.”
Returning to one's ancestral roots...
Ji Zhinan is currently busy with her own career, and her main focus is still in Beijing, China.
"There's no question of acknowledging or not acknowledging it; it's just a formality."
Does not acknowledging her ancestry mean she is no longer her father's daughter?
“I know.” Eddie nodded and said with a smile, “So Uncle unilaterally rejected the elder. I think Uncle intends to stay in China for a long time.”
Li Yuan has never cared about power or status. He has gained too much power and money over the years and is no longer interested in them. Now that he has finally found his daughter, he only wants to focus all his energy on her.
Knowing that Ji Zhinan now wants to pursue her own small business, Li Yuan has never forced Ji Zhinan to give up everything in Beijing and return to Europe to become the high and mighty Miss Warren. Instead, he chooses to respect every decision his daughter makes and silently accompany and protect her.
Ji Zhinan smiled.
The two walked a little further ahead. Eddie seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't ask.
“Brother, just ask me anything you want to ask,” Ji Zhinan said.
Eddie was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to see through his little scheme, but then he thought that she was his uncle's daughter, so she must be smart.
He suppressed his astonishment and cautiously asked, "Nan Nan, is your mother... still alive?"
"..."
When Xi Luo was mentioned, Ji Zhinan was silent for a few seconds, then turned his head and said, "He has been missing for twenty years. Perhaps he was gone twenty years ago."
If she wasn't gone, there's no way to explain why she never came to look for her and her grandfather after all these years.
Unlike her father, she knew she existed and that she was with her grandfather.
If she is still alive, why doesn't she come looking for me?
"..." Upon hearing this answer, Eddie opened his mouth, but chose to remain silent.
Over the years, he had always known that his uncle was cold and aloof and had never had any ambiguous behavior with women.
He had vaguely guessed something before, but after learning about Nan Nan's existence, he became certain of his thoughts: his uncle was guarding someone.
Unfortunately, the person who was on my uncle's mind for so many years is no longer here. If she were still here, my uncle would have been very happy for so many years to come.

Gu Yibei followed Li Yuan to the study.
Li Yuan sat in the chair and looked at the man in front of him: "Speak your mind."
Gu Yibei placed a large stack of documents in front of him: "This is a list of all people who entered Beijing from China more than 20 years ago. I excluded gender and filtered by age. This is the list I compiled, which includes your entry record, Dad."
"..." Li Yuan's body stiffened a little. He stared at the thick stack of documents in front of him, paused for a few seconds, and then opened it.
Gu Yibei directly filtered out people who were between twenty and thirty years old at the time, and his information was on the first page of the data.
Name: Ling Yin Warrens, Date of Arrival: ...
