Chapter 178 That Rumor



"Big brother." An Jingfeng thought for a moment, feeling that he still needed to say some things, "Don't worry, as long as you need anything, I, An Jingfeng, will go through fire and water for you..."

"Don't say things like that again." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Anhe interrupted him, "After all, you're not alone anymore. If something happens to you, what will happen to Jiang Moli? What will happen to your unborn child?"

An Jingfeng was stunned for a full half minute.

Half a minute, not a very long time, but not too short either, An Jingfeng's mind raced through the seconds.

How did Xiao Anhe find out about his relationship with Jiang Moli?

And he even knew that Jiang Moli was pregnant with his child?

He would never believe Jiang Moli told Xiao Anhe.

He recalled the scene not long ago when Xu Moran approached Xiao Anhe to speak. Yes, it was at that moment that Xiao Anhe looked at him with murderous intent.

Xiao Anhe knew that he had slept with his future sister-in-law's best friend!

Oh my god, this is terrible, what should we do next?

Suddenly, thinking of the child in Jiang Moli's belly, he was filled with courage.

"Big brother," he said to Xiao Anhe as if making a promise, "Don't worry, I will definitely marry Jiang Moli and take good care of the children."

Xiao Anhe noticed that he said "children" instead of "children," which shows that he considers Jiang Moli's child with her ex-husband as his own.

“Very good.” Xiao Anhe nodded. “Getting married and becoming a father as soon as possible is the happiest thing in the world.”

The envy in his words was palpable, even to An Jingfeng, who wasn't particularly emotionally intelligent. Afraid of upsetting Xiao Anhe, he quickly left the room.

Xiao Anhe was the only one left in the not-so-large room. He walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and gazed into the distance, trying to clear his mind.

What is the relationship between the two men in the photo?

Logically speaking, two people who look so alike are most likely twins. However, the idea of ​​twins for Xiao Qinghan is obviously unreliable, because the Xiao family has a history of over a hundred years and has never had a pair of twins, let alone Xiao Qinghan, who had only passed away a few months ago. He certainly did not have a twin brother.

However, there is another legend that Xiao Anhe has heard: Xiao Qinghan is not the biological son of Old Madam Xiao.

Old Mrs. Xiao and Old Mr. Xiao had been married for many years but had not conceived. Fearing that the problem might lie with Old Mr. Xiao and would damage his reputation as the head of the Xiao family, she secretly had the family's private doctor examine her.

The final examination results proved that the problem lay with her.

A family like the Xiao family, which had spent generations of effort to finally become a prestigious clan, could not allow its lineage to die out. Therefore, no matter how good the relationship was between the old master and old lady of the Xiao family, they could not allow the Xiao family line to end in their generation.

So, Old Mrs. Xiao personally selected a lovely girl for Old Master Xiao and sent her to his room.

It is said that the lovely girl was not an outsider, but rather Old Mrs. Xiao's cousin. She was very beautiful and well-educated, and was already a college student in those days.

Logically speaking, a girl with such beauty and talent would never be interested in Old Master Xiao. No matter how rich the Xiao family is, they are still essentially nouveau riche.

It was through clues left by the old servants who worked in the Xiao family's old house that the real reason why the girl was willing to enter Old Master Xiao's room was discovered.

Where is the willingness?

She was tricked into coming to the Xiao family by her most trusted cousin, who then drugged her tea and carried her into Old Master Xiao's room while she was unconscious.

What happened next is no longer worth mentioning. As expected of the young and vigorous Mrs. Xiao, her cousin became pregnant with Mr. Xiao's child that very month. Ten months later, she gave birth to a son for Mr. Xiao.

This son was the previous head of the Xiao family—Xiao Qinghan.

As for the old master and old lady Xiao in the story, they are Xiao Anhe's grandparents.

Grandpa was my biological grandfather, but as for Grandma, with this legend surrounding her, whether it's true or false, nobody really knows anymore.

When Xiao Anhe was born, Old Madam Xiao had already passed away for many years. He had never even seen her in person, let alone tried to find out the truth from the conversation.

As for Old Master Xiao, he probably passed away when Xiao Anhe was about three or four years old. What could a three or four-year-old child understand? He didn't understand anything. He just did what Fang Wanxin said, kowtowing when he wanted and returning the gifts when he wanted.

Xiao Anhe always thought that Xiao Qinghan's background was just a fabrication by many people about wealthy families or other unattainable social classes, a kind of imagination heavily influenced by their own personal biases.

Judging from this photo, the legend might not actually be false.

Perhaps, back then, Old Mrs. Xiao's cousin gave birth to twins, but for various reasons that are still unknown, the outside world only knows of Xiao Qinghan's existence.

Once he had this suspicion in his mind, Xiao Anhe put the photo in front of him again and looked at it carefully.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Xiao Anhe mainly stared at the eyes of the two men in the photo who looked exactly alike.

Upon closer inspection, he did indeed notice something amiss.

The eyes of Xiao Qinghan that he knew were not the eyes of the man holding Fang Wanxin's hand in the photo, but the eyes of the man standing on the other side.

In my memory, Xiao Qinghan's eyes were deep and unfathomable, revealing a sinister and cold light. However, the person in the photo who should have been Xiao Qinghan had clean, clear, warm, and gentle eyes, without a trace of coldness or scheming.
