None of them expected Mo Xi to kneel on the floor, so they were all shocked.
"Little Xi, what are you doing?!"
"Little Xi, get up! You just gave birth not long ago and had surgery!"
"Grandfather, grandmother, mom, dad, daddy, mommy, and everyone here. I am very sorry to have made all of you worried about Ying Ying and me. I know I shouldn"t have acted recklessly, but this is the only way that we can lure the masterminds out without putting anyone of you in more danger. However, I am still in the wrong for not telling all of you about how Ying Ying and I were doing."
Mo Xi then kowtowed to them.
Everyone"s eyes went wide, and they went forward to grab Mo Xi immediately.
"Little Xi, you don"t have to do this! Get up!"
"Little Xi! What are you doing!"
"Hurry up and get up!"
However, Mo Xi didn"t get up, and she remained kneeling on the ground, "There is something important that I didn"t say."
"Get up first before you speak."
Everyone urged.
Mo Xi turned to Grandfather Lu and Grandmother Lu, "Grandfather, grandmother, I am your biological granddaughter."
The room was in pin-drop silence when those words left Mo Xi"s mouth.
"Little Xi, what did you say?" Lu Jin Xiao went forward and asked anxiously.
"Big brother, I am really your sister. Just that, I am your cousin. I am Lu Qing s.h.i.+"s daughter," Mo Xi said with a smile.
"You are Qing s.h.i.+"s daughter?" Grandmother Lu asked in shock as she wobbled towards Mo Xi.
"Grandmother, I am really Lu Qing s.h.i.+"s daughter."
"How could it be?" Grandfather Lu got Mo Xi up while he asked in shock.
"Grandfather, not only am I Lu Qing s.h.i.+"s daughter, but I am also Xiao Lan Xi"s daughter."
This time around, everyone sucked in a deep breath of air except for those who already knew about this matter.
Jing Mo Chen held onto Mo Xi"s shoulder before his hand dropped to interlock their fingers.
"Dad, Mom, it is true. I did a DNA comparison a.n.a.lysis between Little Xi, grandfather, grandmother, Grandfather Xiao, and Grandmother Xiao. The results showed that Little Xi is the Lu and Xiao family"s descendants."
"But Qing s.h.i.+ rejected the idea of getting married to Lan Xi, so how could they have a child?!" Lu Qing Min was stunned.
"Not only that, but Lan Xi was overseas most of the time, so there is no way that they could meet!" Grandfather Lu added.
"We went to do some investigation and found out that Aunt Lan Xi was at Country Y most of the time. Uncle Qing s.h.i.+ happened to have gone to Country Y to do his mission for a long period of time as well. Hence, we supposed that they met during that period of time."
"But, even so, why didn"t they tell us?"
"If Uncle Qing s.h.i.+ went to Country Y to do his mission, I suppose that he has to hide his ident.i.ty. Hence, he must have introduced himself to Aunt Lan Xi with his undercover ident.i.ty. As for Aunt Lan Xi, she is the founder of Sapphire Corporation. Hence, we guessed that she met Uncle Qing s.h.i.+ with that ident.i.ty. The two of them hadn"t met each other here before, so they wouldn"t know that they were each other"s arranged marriage partner."
Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi managed to find out that Sapphire Corporation belonged to Xiao Lan Xi after a lot of hard work.
"So, you mean brother and Lan Xi fell in love with each other without knowing each other"s real ident.i.ty?"
"Yes."
"And, Little Xi is their child?"
"Yes."
"Then, where are they now?"
Lu Qing s.h.i.+ had disappeared for twenty-three years. However, there was no news of Lu Qing s.h.i.+ being in trouble or anything. Hence, none of the Lu family knew where he went. Over time, they came to think that Lu Qing s.h.i.+ must have died. However, because they couldn"t find his body, they didn"t want to believe so.
On the other hand, Xiao Lan Xi was said to have died in an airplane crash. Xiao Lan Yu said that Xiao Lan Xi"s DNA was found and that Xiao Lan Xi was dead. However, no one else ever saw Xiao Lan Xi"s DNA.
"We don"t know where they are. However, from what we found, they most likely lost their lives to protect everyone."
Grandmother Lu and Grandfather Lu"s body shook when they heard Jing Mo Chen"s words.
Lu Qing Min and Ye Juan An immediately went to hold onto Grandfather Lu and Grandmother Lu"s shoulders.
Grandfather Lu and Grandmother Lu then quickly went over to hug Mo Xi again.
"When did you all found out about this?" Lu Qing Min asked.
"We confirmed it some time ago. I found out about it first and kept it from Little Xi. She only found out about it some time before she disappeared."
"Then, why didn"t you all tell us?"
"We didn"t want to make you all worried. Moreover, we needed to find out how Uncle Qing s.h.i.+ and Aunt Lan Xi met as well as what happened. If not, everything wouldn"t make sense. Little Xi also wanted to keep things from you all so that you all won"t be so sad when she disappears. Furthermore, when Little Xi disappeared, I didn"t want to make all of you even more depressed and worried by telling you all about Little Xi"s birth."
Everyone"s heart hurt again when they heard Jing Mo Chen"s words.
"You said that Qing s.h.i.+ and Lan Xi probably died to protect everyone, right? What do you mean by that?"
"We guessed that Uncle Qing s.h.i.+ and Aunt Lan Xi were the first people to find out about Poker"s work. Uncle Qing s.h.i.+"s mission was probably to find out more about Poker in Country Y, and Aunt Lan Xi probably found out about Poker by accident from her business work in Country Y."
