Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su He diffidently fell silent after Jiang Wenfang screamed at her. She reluctantly looked up and threw a glance at Su Jifeng, hoping that he would not reveal Ye Yan.
Unfortunately, it was clear that reality showed her otherwise. Su Jifeng did not have a good impression on Ye Yan for s.n.a.t.c.hing his younger sister from him. He became even more jealous when his precious younger sister was so protective of Ye Yan at this moment.
Besides, Su Jifeng was more or less angry with his younger sister for the fact that she was only concerned about Ye Yan and did not consider even the slightest bit for him how difficult the position he was in, to be questioned by her parents.
However, as an older brother who had a strong possessiveness over his younger sister, Su Jifeng did not put the blame on his younger sister. As such, he matter-of-factly vented out his anger on the “bad guy” who had a bad influence on his younger sister.
“In fact, during Xiao Qi’s birthday party that night, she was with another person together before we found her.”
“Another person? Who is that person?”
The audience on the spot was filled with curiosity upon hearing Jiang Wenfang’s query.
Back then, when Xiao Qi was recovered, Mu Tingfeng was the one who held her hand and returned Xiao Qi to her family. When they asked her the reason she got lost, she only told them she had lost her way and nothing else.
At that time, the adults thought that everything was fine as long as they found her. As such, they did not ponder over the issue any further. Little did they think there was a hidden agenda from this incident.
Su Jifeng cast a glance at his parents and grandfather before he said reluctantly, “Father, Mother, Grandpa, do you still remember that Xiao Qi was the one who had taken the initiative to study overseas when she was sixteen years old?”
“Of course I remember. At that time, your father, grandfather and I did not quite agree to let Xiao Qi study in such a remote location. Even though there are many reputable schools abroad, we also have some in the country. Xiao Qi has been with us since she was a baby. How could we feel safe letting her travel to such a distant place? I secretly cried for several nights. But Xiao Qi… sigh…”
“Mother, do you still remember that despite our disagreement to let Xiao Qi go overseas, she insisted and gave us a reason? The reason was…”
“Of course, Xiao Qi reasoned to us that…” When Jiang Wenfang was saying this, she suddenly recalled something. She widened her eyes and stared at Su Jifeng incredulously. “Could it be… Could it be…”
“That’s right. The person whom Xiao Qi had mentioned at that time was the same person whom she met at her eight-year-old birthday party.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group were caught by surprise. They had never thought that their daughter would have matured enough to have such thoughts at such an early stage. She had been in love since she was a child.
Su Ruixin had been watching all this by the side. She wanted to cut in, but she did not fully comprehend the entire story. As such, she did not have a chance to chip in on their conversation. While she was quietly listening by the side, she found some clues from their dialogues.
“Does the child inside Xiao Qi’s womb also belong to… belong to…”
Su Jifeng gave a nod solemnly. He would have killed that man long ago if he had known her younger sister liked him, and he would not have given him the chance to get her younger sister pregnant!
Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group sucked in a cold breath. Su Liqiang grew increasingly furious. “So, who exactly is that man?!”
He had cherished his daughter for more than two decades. Now, his daughter had fallen in love with a man for a very long time and had even conceived his child.
However, the child’s father remained a mystery even today. Xiao Qi, on the other hand, had to deal with the adults’ chastis.e.m.e.nt. Thinking of this, Su Liqiang immediately had a terrible impression of the man!
“Jifeng…” Su He wanted to stop him. However, Jiang Wenfang was enraged and shouted at Jifeng, “Tell me!”
“The child’s father is… Ye Yan, the current president of Ye Group, as well as the current head of the Ye family.”
“The Ye family?” The former master creased his eyebrows. He turned his head around and looked at Su Ruixin. “Is it the same Ye family from the four greatest families in Shalnork?”
When Su Ruixin met the former master’s gaze, she thought for a brief moment before she answered, “Yes. It’s the same Ye family. The former head of the Ye family had pa.s.sed away due to sickness a few months ago. His position is taken over by the former master’s youngest grandson, Ye Yan. He is about Tingfeng’s age.”
Right after Su Ruixin finished speaking, the former master narrowed his cunning eyes. It was not easy for a young man in his twenties, who was also the younger son in the family, to take over the position as the head of the family.
Regardless of how talented he was, even the G.o.ds had to pay a price for bullying his precious granddaughter of the Su family!
“Now that the ident.i.ty of the child’s father has been revealed, why isn’t he with Xiao Qi today to explain the situation to us?”
Su He grew increasingly awkward upon hearing Jiang Wenfang’s question. Meanwhile, Su Jifeng had no qualms with her question. In fact, it would have been better had Jiang Wenfang not mentioned him. The moment she did, Su Jifeng was enraged and snorted, “Don’t mention that guy… For many years, Xiao Qi has missed him, while he has forgotten about Xiao Qi. What an annoyance he is!”
“What?! He has forgotten about Xiao Qi?!” Jiang Wenfang was agitated when she heard her son’s words.
When Su He saw this, she subconsciously wanted to defend Ye Yan. “Mother, he’s not what you’re thinking… He… He didn’t forget my presence on purpose.”
“Not on purpose, huh? Can things like this be done on purpose or otherwise?!”
“Mother…”
“Ahem…” The Su family’s chat was interrupted by a coughing sound. Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group gathered their attention on the person who made the sound.
“Let me explain this situation to you.” Zhao Youlin gave them a friendly grin as she took the initiative to take over the conversation.
From the scenario just now, she understood that Su Jifeng had a strong possessiveness over his younger sister. As a result, he did not have a good impression of Ye Yan, who had taken his younger sister from him.
If she continued to allow them to taunt Ye Yan, Su He and Ye Yan would have a more difficult time in the future.
Under the Su family’s probing and unhappy stares, Zhao Youlin said cautiously, “In truth, the reason Ye Yan forgot Xiao He was but an accident.”
“An accident?!” The adults exchanged glances with one another. They had a strange reaction to Zhao Youlin’s statements.
Zhao Youlin gave a nod. She went on to describe Ye Yan’s condition in the Ye family, including the terrible illness he had when his mother pa.s.sed away when he was only fifteen years old. As a result, he had forgotten the majority of the events that had happened over the past fifteen years, including his memories of Su He.
Of course, as Zhao Youlin was saying this, she deftly explained the episode in which Ye Yan had hara.s.sed and courted her over Mu Tingfeng. Otherwise, based on the Su family’s image of him, Ye Yan would have been put to death before approaching these elders!
