Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Are you disappointed that it’s not Wen Yan?”

Xie Yiye’s thoughts were exposed. He smiled indifferently, “There’s nothing to be disappointed about. Even if she isn’t my sister, can’t I acknowledge her as my sister?”

It had become a habit to protect Wen Yan these days.

He made up his mind that if Wen Yan wasn’t Xianxian, he would acknowledge her as his sister.

Xie Yizhe had long seen through his thoughts, “Daddy won’t allow it, and Guigui will be angry.”

At the mention of Xie Zigui, Xie Yiye smiled devilishly, “I acknowledged Wen Yan as my sister, not you. If she gets angry over this, she’ll be even angrier when Xianxian comes back.”

He did not expect this sentence would really come true.

While they were talking, they had already entered the manor with the car. As soon as they walked to the hall, they saw Xie Huaiyuan sitting in the middle with his back facing them.

Xie Huaiyuan, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and sitting on the rotating chair, turned around. His black and white hair was combed back. Even though he was over fifty years old, his facial features were distinct. It was not difficult to see his handsome face when he was young.

“Dad.”

Xie Huaiyuan looked at Xie Yiye with a gloomy face, “Xiao Ye, what is your relationship with that Wen Yan?”

He also knew about what happened at the banquet yesterday. Coupled with the fact Xie Yiye had ruined the cooperation between the two families, he found the root of the problem with a little investigation.

This again…

Xie Yiye knew that his father was having a hard time, so he didn’t want to explain too much, “I want to acknowledge her as my sister.”

Xie Huaiyuan’s body stiffened, “Just this?”

Xie Yiye spread his hands and said helplessly, “Yeah, could it be you really wants me to marry her? Actually, as long as you’re not afraid of the Gu family pointing fingers at your nose and scolding you, I’m fine with it.”

“Stinky brat, what are you talking about?” Xie Huaiyuan cursed and threw the cup at him. “You already have a sister. Why do you need so many sisters?”

“Xie Zigui was adopted by you, not someone I wanted to acknowledge. My biological sister has been lost, so is it an eyesore for you if I acknowledge another sister?”

Hearing this, Xie Huaiyuan remained silent for a long time.

The disappearance of the younger daughter had always been a knot in the heart of everyone in the Xie family.

He leaned back in his chair, and in an instant, it was as if all his strength had been drained.

“Do you want to acknowledge her as your sister because she looks like your aunt?”

Xie Yiye didn’t say anything, and Xie Huaiyuan snorted coldly.

“I know you have deep feelings for your aunt. After all, she has raised you for a few years, but that girl can’t be Xianxian.”

He had investigated Wen Yan. Other than having a slightly better life after marrying Gu Jinmo, this girl’s previous life could be said to be in deep water.

Because she didn’t have parents, she was basically bullied by her classmates from elementary school to university.

He had turned the entire Nanyang City upside down. If Wen Yan was Xianxian, then what had they been doing all these years?

He didn’t want to admit it, nor did he want to.

“Oh right, Little Zhe.” Xie Huaiyuan thought of something and said, “Yesterday, your mother kept saying that she saw Xianxian and she was in good spirits. Investigate who came yesterday and who came into contact with your mother.”

At the mention of Li Yutong, Xie Huaiyuan’s voice softened.

Ever since her daughter went missing, Yu Tong’s mental state had been abnormal. When she found Xianxian, perhaps her illness would also be cured.

There were many people at the banquet yesterday. He did not know what happened to his wife, so he could only start with the guests.

“Alright.” Xie Yizhe nodded gently.

He also knew about this. After finding his mother yesterday, her mood had obviously improved.

Xie Yiye swiped his phone in boredom. Seeing that they were done chatting, he quickly got up and left.

Xie Huaiyuan stopped him, “Since you want to acknowledge her as your sister, she has to meet us. Invite her to our house for dinner tomorrow.”

Xie Huaiyuan’s words surprised Xie Yiye. He asked excitedly, “Are you serious?”

Did he agree?

Seeing Xie Yiye’s excitement, Xie Huaiyuan snorted, “Yesterday, you asked me to meet your friend. It’s to meet her, right? You’ve fallen for such a woman all these years. I want to see what kind of person she is.”

Xie Yiye didn’t care what he was thinking. When he thought of his father wanting to see Wen Yan, his lips naturally curled up.

In Xie Huaiyuan’s eyes, this had another meaning.

If his youngest son really took a fancy to that girl, it would be a big problem. Instead of waiting for this matter to become troublesome, it was better to nip it in the bud.

In the hospital, in front of Gu Jinmo’s bed.

Zhang Lan held onto his and Su Qianqian’s hands as she cried.

“My Xiao’er, listen to your mother. Marry Qianqian and treat it as a happy occasion. Look at your injuries…”

Zhang Lan wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes were extremely red.

Gu Jinmo said helplessly, “This fire was caused by a short circuit. It was just a simple accident.”

“Marriage was a joyous occasion!” Zhang Lan’s pupils constricted when she heard the word “fire” and she quickly hugged him. “You’re Mommy’s precious baby. Among the two sons, Mommy likes you the most. Listen to Mommy and consider marrying Qianqian.”

When Su Qianqian heard the words “Mom likes you the most,” she glanced at Gu Jinmo nervously.

Gu Jinmo lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips tightly. His face was a little pale.

Zhang Lan was still talking to herself, “Your younger brother isn’t as sensible as you. If it were him, I wouldn’t care at all. But you are the heir of the Gu family. Only when you and Qianqian get married will you be able to sit firmly in the position of heir.”

Hearing Zhang Lan’s biased words, Su Qianqian felt her scalp go numb.

Seeing Gu Jinmo’s sullen face, she wanted to cover Zhang Lan’s mouth immediately.

She had only mentioned the idea of a “joyful marriage” to Zhang Lan. She did not expect Zhang Lan to reveal her bias.

When Gu Jinxiao was around, he was the most respected person in the Gu family and Zhang Lan’s pride.

Su Qianqian had to admit that a person like Gu Jinxiao was indeed worthy of his parents’ pride.

He was a perfect top student. He was polite, good-looking, and fair. He was simply someone else’s child. At that time, Gu Jinxiao was the same as the eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Yizhe. They were famous people in Nanyang City.

At that time, Gu Jinmo had almost no good qualities other than causing trouble and being good-looking.

After Gu Jinxiao’s death, Gu Jinmo became the cold and ruthless heir of the Gu family overnight. Even so, in Zhang Lan’s eyes, he was still the good-for-nothing Gu Jinmo from back then.

Zhang Lan, who had lost her memories, only had Gu Jinxiao in her heart.

After learning this cruel truth, Gu Jinmo became much calmer.

If it was in the past, he would have been sad. But now, he had long accepted it.

Thinking about his mother’s diagnosis, Gu Jinmo looked into her expectant eyes. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them in the end.

No matter how ridiculous the rumors about him and Su Qianqian were, he had never really considered marrying her.

But his mother did not have much time left.

He and Wen Yan would get a divorce sooner or later.

Since he can’t marry the one he likes, then marrying anyone else is the same.

It was as if a stone had suddenly pressed down on his heart, making the red veins in his eyes even more obvious.

His voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of suppression in his magnetic voice, “Give me some time to think about it.”

Hearing this, Su Qianqian was so happy tears welled up in her eyes.

Brother Mo said that he would consider it, which meant… He agree?
