Shi Nian was sowhat excited, while Tang Yanxi remained calm and collected.
"Tell , how did you deduce it?"
Shi Nian’s heart skipped a beat: He acknowledged it!
She sat down: "Firstly, it is your na, Yancy. There are many ways to translate Yancy’s pronunciation into Chinese, but since yesterday, I’ve been particularly mindful of one na, which happens to contain the character ’燕’ (Yan). Frankly, the character ’燕’ is not often used in male nas, so instinctively, I translated Yancy to ’燕西’... of course, I didn’t expect it to be the ’犀’ in Lingxi, but fortunately, it’s a homophone."
"Secondly, the business card only has a first na without a surna, which is unusual. So I thought it was likely that your company’s na includes your surna. And your company’s na: Tang Dynasty, Tang-Dynasty, literally can be translated as Tang Dynasty, but it would also make sense to translate it as ’唐家王朝’, so my first choice was that your surna is Tang, and your na is Tang Yanxi."
"But it’s such a coincidence, still, because the na lingering in my mind is too similar to yours, I couldn’t help but correct it, changing it to the surna Tang. Tang-Dynasty can also be the ’汤氏王朝’, can’t it?"
"Thirdly, coincidentally again, the na in my mind hails from a famous legal family, his father is a famous lawyer. So naturally, I classified you as part of that family as well."
Tang Yanxi listened carefully, nodded slightly.
"Well said. Let clarify: the reason why the surna is not printed on that business card is that it was for my private friends and family only."
Shi Nian’s gaze fell on that photo fra, where two remarkably similar-looking youths were happily posing with their arms around each other.
"In other words, the person who gave this card is your closest relative. By reasoning backward from your na, Tang Yanxi, it’s not hard to know who he is."
Tang Yanxi, Tang Yanqing, ah?!
Tang Yanxi quietly observed the complex feelings that briefly flashed across Shi Nian’s face, succinctly answered, "That’s right. He is my younger brother. Congratulations, you finally found him."
.
Shi Nian left with a look of near anguish.
Tang Yanxi sighed, dialed the phone: "As you wished, she guessed it all correctly. But the way you conducted that investigation was indeed poor. If I were to represent her in this case, I could undoubtedly put you in jail."
Tang Yanqing chuckled guiltily: "Lawyer Tang, have rcy. Keep this matter a secret for , don’t tell the family."
Tang Yanxi was helpless with this brother: "But since you have involved , you better tell , what are you up to this ti?"
Tang Yanxi squinted from the car watching the blue Mini dash away, almost kicking up dust, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"Bro, I wanted her to find on her own."
Even Tang Yanxi, couldn’t help but be stunned: "She already knows you are Tang Yanqing, she’s found you."
Tang Yanqing slowly smiled: "No, the na is just the starting point. Between her and ... everything is just beginning."
His brother’s tone seed off...
"Who exactly is she?" Tang Yanxi couldn’t help but ask.
Tang Yanqing smiled softly: "Bro, have I ever brought any other won to et you?"
