Li Yuling left in the evening and returned to the company to deal with two newly signed collaborations. Li Yuzhen rarely followed her. At the club that day, Qin Xiangnan rejected her request and did not give her his contact information.
In the past two days, she sent messages to Lan Xi whenever she had time, wanting to know something about Qin Xiangnan from Lan Xi.
Look, I asked her out for coffee again today!
"Aunt, why haven't you returned to the capital yet? Is there anything going on here?"
All along, Lan Xi pretended to be ignorant about Qin Xiangnan's affairs, and she ignored the matter with the attitude of fooling people if she could.
Li Yuzhen has been looking at Lan Xi. With her niece's intelligence, she should already know why she stayed in Shanghai. She was just beating around in circles.
"Xixi, Qin Xiangnan..."
"Aunt, you seem to be very curious about Qin Xiangnan!" Lan Xi interrupted Li Yuzhen with impatience on her face.
Li Yuzhen stirred the cup with a spoon but refused to drink a single sip. She had no way to explain. Qin Xiangnan was too alert. He refused to give her his contact information and refused to chat with her. Every time he asked, he was busy with work and she couldn't get a word in.
Lan Xi did not ask any further questions. It was Li Yuzhen who was anxious now, not her!
This matter had nothing to do with her, so she was naturally happy to watch the show.
After Li Yuzhen had been stirring for almost 5 minutes, she finally spoke: "I suspect that Qin Xiangnan is my child!"
As soon as the words fell, Lan Xi opened her eyes wide, her voice filled with disbelief: "That's not right! Qin Xiangnan... I remember he had parents!"
"I want to do a paternity test now, but I can't get her biological sample, Xixi..." Li Yuzhen stopped what she was doing, stretched out her hand towards Lan Xi, wanting to put it on the back of her hand.
Lan Xi leaned back and waved her hands quickly: "I can't do this. You might as well ask her directly!"
Li Yuzhen knew that Lan Xi would refuse. She stared at Lan Xi and pleaded:
"Xixi, please help your aunt! I've only given birth to this one child in all these years. After I lost her, I never gave up looking for her. Please, Xixi, please help me!"
"No need for identification, I am indeed your child!" Qin Xiangnan's voice sounded unexpectedly, and she seemed a little helpless.
Li Yuzhen was so scared that she looked up, and when she saw Qin Xiangnan, tears welled up in her eyes.
In fact, she didn't need a paternity test to know that Qin Xiangnan must be her child, because his eyes looked very much like her father's.
Feeling tears streaming down her face, Li Yuzhen lowered her head and frantically wiped them away, moving a little further inward: "You...you sit down!"
Qin Xiangnan walked to Lan Xi and looked at her.
Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, looked at her, then at Li Yuzhen, and finally compromised and moved in.
The three of them just sat there quietly without saying a word. Lan Xi lowered her head and scrolled through her phone, showing no interest in what was happening between the two of them. Li Yuzhen always looked at Lan Xi helplessly, hoping that she would say a few words for her.
"You've always wanted to ask me out. Now that we're all sitting together, you can just tell me what's on your mind!"
In the end, it was Qin Xiangnan who spoke first. She couldn't understand what Li Yuzhen meant by her current behavior.
Hearing her daughter's words, Li Yuzhen looked at her, tears quickly filling her eyes again: "When did you know?"
"A long time ago? I don't remember the exact time!" Qin Xiangnan's voice was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
When Li Yuzhen heard this, she was stunned: "Then...then why..."
"No need, I'm doing fine, and it's fine the way it is now!"
Qin Xiangnan looked very relaxed when he spoke, as if he really didn't care about the matter.
"What do you mean it's unnecessary? Your family favors boys over girls, you have a younger brother, your mother is extremely partial, and your father..."
Li Yuzhen's heart broke when she saw her daughter could say these words without changing her expression. She must have suffered so much.
Qin Xiangnan interrupted her coldly:
"I don't mind you investigating me or my family, but you have no right to judge them! The Qin family treated me very well. At least, despite not being their biological child, they provided me with food and clothing and didn't let me drop out of school. That's more than enough!"
Her words surprised Lan Xi, as she didn't remember it like this.
Has anything changed?
Li Yuzhen thought her daughter was blaming them and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I…I took your words out of context. Don't be angry!"
Her cautious attitude made Qin Xiangnan anxious. She was not good at dealing with such things, and she didn't know what Li Yuzhen meant.
Lan Xi looked at the two people who were like quails, speechless, and felt extremely bored: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. If it's because of my presence, then do you want to leave for a while?"
"Need not!"
"You sit down!"
The two people said in unison, and Li Yuzhen looked at Lan Xi as if asking for help, as if wanting her to help.
"Qin Xiangnan will not go back to the Li family, so don't waste your energy!" Lan Xi helped Qin Xiangnan express her meaning incisively, causing Li Yuzhen's pupils to suddenly dilate.
Qin Xiangnan secretly thanked Lan Xi for helping her say this. Facing Li Yuzhen, she felt that she still couldn't directly express what she meant.
Seeing that Qin Xiangnan didn't refute, Li Yuzhen's expression darkened: "Why?"
She asked without giving up.
Qin Xiangnan looked at Lan Xi, meaning for her to continue, but the latter shrugged and spread her hands to indicate that she could only help her up to this point.
