"Where are you? Why does your voice sound so strange?" He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Have you been crying?"
Su Yan didn't answer, but hastily wiped away her tears and asked instead, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the company."
"I'll come find you right away."
Su Yan finished speaking crisply and decisively, not giving Yi An a chance to say anything more, and hung up the phone without hesitation.
She tidied her makeup, started the car, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Chengdu Research Institute of Technology.
When Su Yan reappeared at Chengyan Technology, she reverted to her usual aloof and elegant demeanor.
The company receptionist recognized her: "Sister Su Yan? What brings you here? Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for your Chairman Yi. We've made an appointment. You can call and ask."
Hearing this, the receptionist was somewhat surprised. Without delay, she immediately called Yi An's office to confirm, and then let Su Yan go upstairs.
As Su Yan walked into Yi An's office, she attracted many surprised glances.
Zhao Bo felt a little strange whenever he saw her, and when he saw her sitting with Yi An, his gaze became even more uneasy.
He wondered why Su Xiaoyu looked like that, and even racked his brains trying to figure out what her father looked like. Now that he knows Su Xiaoyu is Su Yan and Yi An's daughter, he instantly understands—it's a case of inheritance from a previous generation.
Now, whenever he thinks of Su Xiaoyu's bossy demeanor, he feels that she is exactly like Meng Jie.
Zhao Bo couldn't help but shake his head in amazement; the genes were truly powerful.
Seeing his increasingly strange expression, Yi An waved her hand and forcibly brought his lost soul back.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and make some coffee!"
Zhao Bo pursed his lips, but out of respect for Su Yan, he didn't say anything to complain and obediently walked out.
When the coffee was served, Yi An took the initiative to move it towards Su Yan.
"Have some coffee, it's hot, it'll make you feel better."
Su Yan didn't move, her gaze remained lowered, and her long hair fell down beside her ears, obscuring most of her face, making it impossible for Yi An to see her expression.
Yi An and Zhao Bo exchanged a glance and communicated with each other using sign language.
Zhao Bo asked in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"
Yi An shrugged: "I don't know either!"
Zhao Bo kept gesturing encouragingly, "Comfort her, hurry! Go!"
Yi An: "How can I comfort you?"
Zhao Bo: "Kiss her! Kiss her!"
Just as Zhao Bo was excitedly expressing his desire to kiss her using sign language, Su Yan suddenly raised her head, startling him so much that he immediately did a mouth exercise.
He then added, seemingly trying to cover up his misunderstanding, "Ah, my mouth is a little itchy, let me scratch it."
Su Yan didn't notice his unusual behavior, as she was completely immersed in her low mood.
"I went to see Xiaobao today."
Yi An and Zhao Bo were both stunned. "Huh?"
Su Yan's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, saying with self-reproach, "I shouldn't have seen him. I'll only bring him trouble."
Yi An guessed something, "You met Lin Hui?"
Su Yan didn't answer, but turned to look at Yi An: "She said she's going to sue you, is that true?"
Yi'an hesitated for a long time before finally uttering, "Yes."
He quickly reassured her, "But you don't need to feel guilty or burdened. I won't let her take Xiaobao away. Because..."
Yi An paused abruptly. He stared intently at Su Yan for a long time before finishing his sentence.
"Because he is our son."
Zhao Bo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What kind of poisonous dog food was this? Why was it being fed to him?!
Su Yan's face was full of worry, "But she looked so confident, as if she was determined to win this case."
"She just went to that infamous Shi Zhengyang, does she really think she's found a magic formula for victory?" Yi An said with a face full of disdain.
Zhao Bo was stunned. "She's already contacted Shi Zhengyang? Then this lawsuit is really going to be troublesome. You should be prepared."
His well-intentioned reminder was met with a fierce glare from Yi An.
"Don't exaggerate!" He turned to comfort Su Yan, "Don't worry, since we might not win the lawsuit, we'll make sure it doesn't happen."
"Can't we fight?" Zhao Bo and Su Yan asked in unison.
Yi An nodded and explained, word by word, "As long as it is proven that Xiao Bao and Lin Hui are not related by blood, what kind of custody lawsuit is she filing?"
Zhao Bo clapped his hands in sudden realization, "That's right!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately asked, "But how can you prove that Xiaobao and Lin Hui are not related by blood? She takes such good care of the child."
Yi An glanced at the two of them and said quietly, "This requires the intervention of an experienced general."
Meng Jie looked at the rare guest who had appeared in her office, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"What brings you here? Haven't you made enough of a mess for me already?"
Seeing that she wasn't offered a seat, Yi An unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down by herself.
"I'm here today to discuss important matters concerning Xiao Bao with you."
Meng Jie found this even more amusing.
"Didn't you say that my parenting methods wouldn't work for Xiaobao? Now you're trying to talk to me about something important about Xiaobao?"
Yi'an listened to her words, each one barbed and laced with resentment towards her previous remarks.
“Things are different now,” he explained.
Meng Jie: "How come it's different?"
Yi An didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "By the way, why didn't you accept Su Yan? I forgot."
Meng Jie had no time for beating around the bush and asked directly, "What exactly do you want to say? If it's all just this nonsense, I'll have someone ask you to leave."
Seeing that she was so impatient, and wouldn't even let him say a few more words, and even threatened to kick him out, Yi An quickly sat up straight.
“Xiao Bao is my and Su Yan’s son, and so is Xiao Yu. They are your grandchildren.”
Meng Jie frowned immediately. "You know the consequences of fooling me."
Seeing that she still didn't believe her, Yi An said helplessly, "Why would I lie to you about this? If you still don't believe me, in two days, the paternity test results for me and Xiao Yu will be ready. I'll put them neatly on your desk then."
Meng Jie's brows relaxed slightly, and her expression softened.
"Since they are all your children, why is Xiao Bao with Lin Hui?"
When Yi'an heard that she had finally gotten to the point, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Because Lin Hui stole Xiao Bao. She knew all along that Su Yan was pregnant with my child, and deliberately stole Xiao Bao during the delivery, brought him to me, and pretended that he was her child, in order to bind me and marry into the Yi family."
