"You really want to know?"
Even if the truth is cruel?
"Will it shatter your perceptions of things you've held for years?"
Sheng Si asked three questions in a row, and his serious and earnest appearance made Sheng Yue momentarily dazed.
Does my older brother know anything?
Thinking of her father's love and care for Chu Yan, and of all that had happened to Chu Yan after she came to the Sheng family, a struggle appeared in Sheng Yue's eyes.
After a long while, when she looked up at Sheng Si again, there was a hint of determination in her eyes.
I need to know!
She said "want", not "think".
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si looked up at Qin Wan and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Wan: "?"
"Didn't you say you had something to give me before we came?" Sheng Si reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan had a sudden inspiration and quickly took out a leather bag that her mother had given her from her bag.
Is it... this one?
"Thank you." Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, Sheng Si interrupted her.
Sensing the subtlety in his attitude, Qin Wan was surprised and looked at Sheng Yue beside her with a knowing look.
Is Sheng Si trying to help her gain Sheng Yue's favor?
After returning to the study on the third floor, Sheng Si handed the leather bag in his hand to Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue took it, clutching it tightly, and for some reason, a faint urge to back out suddenly arose in her heart...
Chu Yan's relationship with her father is definitely more than just that of a benefactor's daughter...
The wealthy and powerful are often in turmoil.
Especially in terms of private life...
Chu Yan, is that kind of relationship with your father?
Thinking of this, Sheng Yue gritted her teeth, her hands trembling as she opened the leather bag and took out the contents.
A large pile of old photos, which looked quite old, showed a man in the photos who was none other than Sheng's father.
The woman in the photo looks somewhat similar to Chu Yan; their features are almost identical.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Yue's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition overwhelmed her.
"Chu Yan, is she really... Dad's illegitimate daughter?" Sheng Yue's voice trembled as she looked up at Sheng Si with disbelief, as if seeking help.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si looked at her in surprise, "No."
"Huh?" Sheng Yue was stunned, and the tears that had just welled up were instantly choked back.
"Then, what about the woman in the photo?" Sheng Yue looked down at the old photo in her hand with a puzzled expression.
“That woman is Chu Yan’s biological mother, and also Dad’s first love and his ideal woman,” Sheng Si explained.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue's expression instantly turned grim, even though she knew from seeing the photo that her father's relationship with this woman was not simple.
But when she finally learned the truth, she was still very angry and upset, and felt sorry for her mother.
"Is Chu Yan really not my father's illegitimate daughter?" Sheng Yue still had doubts.
Sheng Si shook his head. "There's also a DNA test result in the leather bag. Take it out and take a look."
Sheng Yue frowned and took out the paternity test report. Seeing that it showed no blood relation, her pale face did not improve.
After a long while, Sheng Yue finally raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Si with a grim expression. "Just because she's the daughter of your first love, Dad treats her so well?"
"Then what about me and my brother?"
Where is Mom?
"In Dad's heart, are Mom and us just a joke?"
As she spoke, Sheng Yue's eyes reddened, her eyes churning with resentment, bitterness, and hatred.
How could he do this?
"How could he treat his own children like this for such a ridiculous reason?"
Sheng Yue was emotionally distraught, and she crumpled the photos and DNA test results into a ball, making them unrecognizable.
"ridiculous!"
"That's ridiculous!"
Seeing Sheng Yue's agitated state, Qin Wan thought for a moment, then picked up the tissues on the table and handed them to her.
Sheng Yue was taken aback when she saw the tissues that suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up at Qin Wan with surprise.
"you……"
"Go ahead and wipe it. This kind of thing isn't uncommon in wealthy families, is it?"
"Besides, isn't the current outcome easier to accept than that of an illegitimate daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute something, but upon closer reflection, she realized that she couldn't refute it at all.
yes.
Given her proud personality, it's better for her to be unable to let go of her first love than to betray her by having an illegitimate daughter outside the marriage.
Even if Mom can't win Dad's heart, at least that woman can't win Dad's body, right?
"Thank you." Taking the tissue and hastily wiping away her tears, Sheng Yue looked at Qin Wan gratefully.
However, the next second, something Sheng Yue never expected happened...
Qin Wan unexpectedly took her hand and, to her surprise, pulled her to sit down on the sofa.
"Have you figured out what to do?" Qin Wan asked, pouring her a cup of tea.
The warmth in her palm made Sheng Yue momentarily dazed...
"Think about what?" Sheng Yue looked at Qin Wan in confusion.
“For example… Chu Yan?” Qin Wan reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue's face darkened abruptly, her grip on the teacup tightened, and resentment, unwillingness, and hatred reappeared in her beautiful eyes.
She won't let Chu Yan get away with this!
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Sheng Yue suddenly raised her eyes and stared straight at Sheng Si.
"Brother, is it true or false that Dad is talking about being kind to you?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si's gaze softened considerably as he looked at Sheng Yue.
"Fake."
"My father broke up with her because they were not a good match."
"The Sheng family was facing an economic crisis at the time and needed a marriage alliance to help them. Chu Yan's mother was born in a rural area, so the Sheng family could not possibly agree to her marrying into the family."
"For the sake of the Sheng family, it was my father who took the initiative to break up back then, so he has felt guilty all these years, feeling that he has let the other party down."
"After Chu Yan's parents were in a car accident, out of a sense of compensation, her father brought Chu Yan to the Sheng family."
"As for the so-called favor, it's just that Dad found a legitimate reason to be nice to Chu Yan."
"Of course, it's also so that we can treat Chu Yan well."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue laughed in exasperation.
In the past, she had always admired Sheng's father and liked him very much.
She was vying for the emperor's favor with Chu Yan, and her actions towards Chu Yan stemmed not only from her dislike of Chu Yan's affected mannerisms, but also from a desire to attract the attention of her father and gain his care and affection.
She never imagined that the man she had always admired and loved would turn out to be so ridiculous and ugly in reality...
"Have you figured it out?" Qin Wan pulled her hand and silently squeezed it, trying to comfort and soothe her emotions in this way.
Feeling the warmth and softness from the back of her hand, Sheng Yue snapped out of her daze and looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression.
"I want to kick Chu Yan out of the Sheng family."
"And then?" Qin Wan asked again.
Upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared in Sheng Yue's eyes.
Yeah, what happens after they're kicked out?
“Dad won’t agree…” Sheng Yue seemed to have thought of something, and resentment and unwillingness appeared in her eyes.
Would you give up just because he disagrees?
"Impossible!" Sheng Yue blurted out without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled and said, "So you should think twice before you act."
"Since you know Uncle Sheng won't agree, how can you legitimately kick Chu Yan out without leaving Uncle Sheng with anything to say?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue looked at Qin Wan with a blank expression.
So, what should she do?
