Chapter 445: Chapter 445: So It Turns Out to Be an Illegitimate Child
The property manager said, “Mr. Li usually doesn’t live in this neighborhood. This apartnt is indeed under his na, but as far as I can rember, he rarely cos and goes here. Normally, it’s just the child and a nanny living here. The nanny takes care of his daily needs, and aside from her, I haven’t heard of any other relatives for this child.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Forget it!”
With the property manager’s words, Huo Tingdong had already roughly understood the child’s background!
It seems his family background must be very complicated. No wonder his character is so bad; turns out there’s no parental guidance!
Lin Qi called Ji Xiuyuan.
Ji Xiuyuan was still filming on set.
Receiving a call from Lin Qi, he was a bit surprised, “Sister-in-law, what made you suddenly think of calling ?”
She asked, “Ji Xiuyuan, I want to ask you sothing.”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Go ahead.”
Lin Qi: “Are you familiar with Li Yanzhou?”
Ji Xiuyuan replied, “We couldn’t be more familiar.”
Li Yanzhou was the only rumored object since he debuted.
Back then, after the broadcast of the drama, the company and platform tried to pair him and Li Yanzhou as a couple, reaping various benefits. Although they are no longer linked nowadays, he and Li Yanzhou still interact privately.
Ji Xiuyuan asked, “Why are you asking about him?”
Lin Qi: “Have you heard he has an eight or nine-year-old son?”
Ji Xiuyuan was shocked, “Sister-in-law! Did you call just to gossip?”
Lin Qi: “First answer my question!”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “There were indeed rumors in the industry that he has a secret child. He and I rose to fa at the sa ti. During his initial fa, a paparazzi did indeed capture him going in and out of a neighborhood with a child, but… after that, there was no follow-up. It’s unknown if it was handled by PR or if legal notices were sent out! Anyway, it was widely spread in the industry; later, I asked him privately, and while he didn’t explicitly confirm it, he also didn’t deny it.”
After a pause, he asked, “What happened? Why are you inquiring about his matters?”
Lin Qi recounted what happened that afternoon.
Ji Xiuyuan, upon hearing it, beca tense, “Momo, with his skinny arms and legs, actually got into a fight with another kid? Did he get beaten to tears?”
Nearby, upon hearing Ji Xiuyuan’s voice, Momo imdiately protested, “Don’t underestimate ! I wasn’t beaten to tears!”
Lin Qi said, “The fight is another matter. After all, both kids laid hands on each other, and no parents were present, so the issue will not be pursued for now… The kid’s most vile act was pushing Yinyin’s stroller down the slope! Even though he did it to intentionally scare Momo, the nature of this act is extrely poor!”
Although he took Yinyin out of the stroller before pushing it down the slope, Momo didn’t know and chased after the stroller, falling and getting injured. Fortunately, it was only so scrapes, but if he had fallen awkwardly and hit his head, the consequences would be unimaginable!
She didn’t know the background of that child; even if he lacked parental guidance, he should have a guardian!
Guardians have the duty to discipline children!
She hoped for an explanation from the other side!
Otherwise, this matter wouldn’t be easily settled!
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll contact Li Yanzhou to ask about the situation.”
Lin Qi said, “Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Qi patiently waited for Ji Xiuyuan to call back.
Momo said, “Mommy, don’t hold too much hope! That child is very rude. He doesn’t even think he did anything wrong and won’t apologize, neither his guardian nor his parents will personally co to apologize!”
Lin Qi said, “I hope he will apologize to you. As a parent, one should educate their child properly; it’s a responsibility.”
Momo said defiantly, “Mommy, not every parent has that sense of responsibility. Don’t worry, I won’t let him bully a second ti! If it weren’t for him being a head taller than , he wouldn’t stand a chance against !”
Lin Qi: “Violence can’t solve any problems.”
Actually, this issue is easy to handle. At the very least, the child’s parents or guardians should step in to offer an apology!
In the evening.
Ji Xiuyuan called Lin Qi back, “Sister-in-law, I found out.”
Lin Qi: “What did he say?”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “Li Yanzhou… has indeed taken on a child. Seems he’s called… ‘Junyan,’ nine years old, in third grade at Windsor High School.”
The na matched.
Lin Qi could confirm it now.
However, the term Ji Xiuyuan used was odd.
Lin Qi questioned, “Taken on?”
Ji Xiuyuan said, “I asked him about the child’s identity. Initially, he was reluctant to specify, but when I ntioned the incident this afternoon, he then told everything truthfully.”
Strictly speaking, that child has no blood relation to Li Yanzhou.
Li Yanzhou has a prominent background.
It is said he is the second son of the Li Family.
In Beijing, only a few families can be considered aristocratic, and the “Li Family” is one of them.
Above him, he has a sister.
His eldest sister is a formidable person.
In Li Yanzhou’s generation, there are four children in total; besides the eldest sister Li Yufei, Li Yanzhou also has a brother and a sister.
And the Li Family has a tradition that married daughters are not eligible to inherit from the Li Family.
Thus, as the eldest daughter of the Li Family, Li Yanzhou’s eldest sister refused a marriage alliance with the Du Family and took a husband into the family.
On the surface, this eldest sister appears cavalier and reckless in marriage, even marrying down, but little did they know, this eldest princess of the Li Family is very shrewd inside. In Beijing, there are few aristocratic families matching the Li Family; marrying into the Bai Family, no matter how excellent she is, when spoken of, she would only be the “daughter-in-law of the Bai Family.”
However, by taking a husband into the family, as the eldest daughter, she still retains her right to inherit from the Li Family!
It’s just that the husband she chose is no pushover!
Li Yufei’s husband is an ordinary governnt official, surnad Li, nad Li Cheng.
As a son-in-law in the Li Family, his powers were stripped, leaving him with no real authority. Yet, his private life was quite colorful.
And Li Junyan is the illegitimate child this man has with soone else!
Within the Li Family, he is the son-in-law with no say, so even if he had an illegitimate child with another woman outside, given ten tis the courage, he wouldn’t dare bring the illegitimate child through the doors of the Li Family ho!
Thus, before the age of six, the child lived with his mother.
Until the year he turned six, when Li Junyan’s biological mother died of illness, he was sent to an orphanage for a period. Later, due to his rebellious behavior and getting into fights with other kids at the orphanage, they had no choice but to contact the Li Family to send soone to take the child away.
So Li Cheng had no choice but to bravely take the child back to the Li Family.
The outco was predictable.
Li Yufei would absolutely never allow her freeloading husband to bring the bastard born to another woman into the family!
