"If it is or isn’t, we’ll soon have an answer." Lian He cast her a cold glance and pulled out another divorce agreent, saying, "No matter how many you tear up, I have plenty more in my briefcase. Also, you’d better consider your Xiang Family."
"If the little family business of your Xiang Family is lost because you refuse to sign, it might soon be gone as well." Lian He’s words were blatant threats.
First, there was the matter of trying to kill Tang Yue, then Lian Qingqing repaid kindness with betrayal, and even wanted to kill Xiaotong over the matter of identity. These two incidents touched Lian He’s bottom line.
After speaking, Lian He turned and left, tossing all the agreents in his briefcase out, letting them scatter like falling white paper.
The door closed with a slam.
Xiang Yazhi went crazy, picking up the divorce agreents one by one and tearing them to pieces.
"Lian He, you ungrateful person."
"Besides threatening with divorce, what else can you do?"
"That vixen is the moonlight in your heart, a treasure to you, but what about ?"
"I’ve stayed with you for twenty years, yet I can’t compare to a vixen."
"I won’t divorce, I’d rather die than divorce."
Xiang Yazhi furiously tore at the paper. Even Lian Qingqing, standing beside her, couldn’t help but take a few steps back; she had never seen Xiang Yazhi like this.
In her mory, her mother Xiang Yazhi had always been elegant and noble, always looked up to, and no matter what mistakes she made, she would always clean up after her. But now, what about this Xiang Yazhi?
"Mom, stop tearing them up. Even if you tear them all, it won’t change Dad’s mind to divorce." Lian Qingqing couldn’t help but speak. The fingers from which her blood had been drawn still ached a bit, there was a trace of rebuke in her words, saying, "Mom, why am I not Dad’s daughter?"
Lian Qingqing sat on the sofa, feeling as though her life was dark.
The title of the once-high-and-mighty daughter of the Lian Family allowed her to be above others wherever she went.
But when the identity of the Lian Family’s daughter turned out to be fake?
How would her classmates and those socialites she looked down upon view her in the future?
And the Xie Family, how would they view her?
Just thinking about these things filled Lian Qingqing with fear. She said, "Mom, the things you did to Aunt, they won’t be found out, will they?"
Lian Qingqing’s face turned pale as she stepped forward and whispered in Xiang Yazhi’s ear.
Xiang Yazhi looked at the paper fragnts scattered on the ground. All she could see was a ss of paper, and her daughter’s words resonated in her ears, slowly bringing back her rationality.
She also wanted Lian Qingqing to be Lian He’s daughter, but aside from that one ti, Lian He never touched her. Just that one fake ti, how could she have gotten pregnant?
"It shouldn’t be. Your cousin’s capabilities aren’t just on the surface." Xiang Yazhi understood this point very clearly. It’s just a pity that when they dealt with Tang Yue, they didn’t find Shen Jing’s people. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have co to this.
"Qingqing, what do you do if your dad wants to divorce ?" Xiang Yazhi sighed deeply.
"Mom, if you get divorced, you can find Cousin." Lian Qingqing tentatively suggested.
Xiang Yazhi’s eyes brightened.
Lian Qingqing continued, "As long as Cousin is willing to marry you, then you’d be the esteed Mrs. Shen."
If Xiang Yazhi were to beco Mrs. Shen, then Lian Qingqing would be Miss Shen, and the marriage alliance with the Xie Family should be able to continue.
Even though it might sound a bit scandalous, as long as Cousin Shen Jing was willing, Lian Qingqing didn’t care. In high society, doesn’t every family have so things that can’t see the light of day?
It’s said that cousins aren’t considered close relatives, and in ancient tis, cousins could marry. Besides, her mom and Cousin were just nominal cousins, and it wasn’t clear how far removed they actually were.
"..."
Xiang Yazhi’s bright eyes dimd instantly, her heart filled with bitterness. If Shen Jing were willing to marry her, she would have married him already. Why would she still be wasting her efforts on Lian He?
Xiang Yazhi’s silence made Lian Qingqing understand that marrying Cousin was not a possibility.
Lian Qingqing felt aggrieved inside, but on the surface, she comforted, "Mom, don’t be sad. After leaving the Lian Family, you can still return to Grandma’s ho. Also, regarding my engagent with the Xie Family, I think Grandpa wouldn’t give it up. Mom, don’t worry. I will take care of you, but..."
Lian Qingqing paused for a mont.
With Lian Qingqing’s comfort, Xiang Yazhi’s saddened heart lifted. She asked, "But what?"
"Mom, don’t drag into the matter with Aunt. Dad is very protective of Aunt, and if he finds out that I have been ungrateful..." Lian Qingqing looked troubled. Although she was the one who instigated Xiang Yazhi to go after Shen Jing, from start to finish, it was Xiang Yazhi who acted.
"Don’t worry, what Mom did will never be blad on you." Xiang Yazhi took full responsibility for it herself.
"Mom, you’re the best." Lian Qingqing broke into a smile through her tears, threw herself into Xiang Yazhi’s arms, and gratefully said.
Xiang Yazhi gently patted her shoulder and said, "Qingqing, from now on, you’ll be my only daughter."
"Mom, what about Xiao Yang?" Lian Qingqing suddenly felt puzzled. She sat up straight and asked, "Mom, is Xiao Yang Dad’s biological son? Is he my biological brother?"
"Of course he is." Xiang Yazhi’s eyes flickered as she affird.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Conversely, no one knows a mother better than her daughter. Growing up, no matter what trouble she caused, Xiang Yazhi had always protected her. Lian Qingyang seed like a son picked up from the streets.
If she were Xiang Yazhi’s daughter, then what about Lian Qingyang?
Lian Qingqing lowered her eyes and pondered carefully.
Downstairs, Lian He had eaten and drunk to his satisfaction.
Old Sir Lian also stood up.
"You’re back?" Old Sir Lian was montarily surprised to see Lian He. Wasn’t he supposed to be in Jing City for so ti? How co he returned in just a couple of days?
"Dad, I found out about last night’s events. I’m planning to divorce Xiang Yazhi." Lian He got straight to the point.
"Divorce is fine, but what about Qingqing?" Old Sir Lian glanced at Lian He and asked.
Since Qingqing was young, Old Sir Lian had never been fond of her because her eyes held too many calculations. For this only biological granddaughter, Old Sir Lian couldn’t bring himself to like her.
"A few more days." Lian He didn’t explain the matter of the blood test. Once the results were out, it would naturally be ti to co clean with Old Sir Lian. However, there were so things he hadn’t yet sorted out.
The father and son talked in the study for the entire afternoon, only stopping for dinner.
After dinner, Lian He went upstairs to see Xiang Yazhi.
"Have you thought it through?" Lian He was unwilling to give Xiang Yazhi even a glance.
"I’ll sign." Xiang Yazhi nodded, found an intact divorce agreent from the floor, and directly signed her na.
