Thank you @pendragon for ko-fi!
A cacophony of voices filled the meeting room. Then the sound gradually died down, and everyone’s gaze focused on the main speakers of the Qin and Xie families.
Old Lady Qin looked at Qin Chaoyan with a sigh; her expression was apologetic. Qin Qijiang remained in a state of shock and appeared unresponsive.
Xie Yunming saw the identification report, but his expression was unexpectedly calm.
He tapped the table with his finger for a long time, then looked up at Ye Rongxu and said in an ambiguous tone, “How do you prove that these four reports are true?”
When the words fell, Qin Jingxu, who was almost paralyzed, instantly grabbed the straw that saved his life and wanted to scramble up, shouting: Yes, it’s fake! These reports are all fake! But then he froze again. That’s right; others might still be skeptical, but he was clear in his heart. Facts can’t deceive people, even if he doesn’t admit it now; as long as they do another test, he will still be exposed…
It’s useless; it’s over; it’s completely over; it’s all because of that woman, Zhang Yun. Since she decided to swap them, why didn’t she just be thorough and take Qin Chaoyan away?
There was resentment in his eyes, as well as panic and fear.
Xie Yunming set aside the document at this moment but said, “The document is fake.”
Qin Jingxu froze, turned his head mechanically and stiffly to look at him, as if he couldn’t believe it.
The meeting room instantly resounded with a burst of whispering, and Xie Yi, who was sitting beside Xie Yunming, also changed his expression from shocked at the beginning to confused at the moment.
Xie Yunming, however, had certainty in his eyes, his gaze scrutinizing Ye Rongxu.
Qin Jingxu wasn’t Yunzhao’s son, that much he knew very well, but that didn’t mean that Qin Chaoyan was.
After discovering that Qin Jingxu was a fake, in order to find his sister’s real child, he naturally suspected Qin Qijiang’s other illegitimate children.
He had already drawn his own blood and did identification with all of Qin Qijiang’s children of the right age, even including his nephew Qin Jingrong, but none of them had a blood relationship with the Xie family, including Qin Chaoyan.
So, of the four identification reports, at least the two about Qin Chaoyan were fake.
The kid from the Ye family thought that by producing two fake identification reports, he could fight for his sister’s things for this bastard child?
Naive!
A cold smile surfaced under Xie Yunming’s eyes as he turned his head to the lawyer and said, “Continue the process.”
Everyone present was stunned, and seeing his determined expression, they became suspicious again.
Ye Rongxu was also stunned. Just now, he thought Xie Yunming hadn’t seen the evidence, so he didn’t believe it. But now that he has presented the evidence, the other party still doesn’t believe it.
He now understood why his father frowned when he mentioned Xie Yunming and said that this person was difficult to deal with.
Stubborn, prejudiced, and extremely confident in his own judgment.
This person seemed a bit paranoid.
Ye Rongxu frowned and interrupted again: “Wait!”
He was about to say something else, but Qin Chaoyan held his hand, his palm gentle and strong.
Ye Rongxu paused and turned to look at him.
Qin Chaoyan slowly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yunming, expressionless: “Mr. Xie, what evidence do you have to prove that these four reports are false?”
Xie Yunming had never taken him seriously before, but at this moment, the other party didn’t bow his head and even looked at him with a hint of coldness and provocation.
He was suddenly a little angry, especially when he thought that the person in front of him was Qin Qijiang’s illegitimate son.
An illegitimate son dared to be so open and aboveboard.
He sneered and said, “Evidence? Unfortunately, I did an identification with you many years ago. You and I are not related.”
The implication was that the identification report that Ye Rongxu took out was false.
Qin Chaoyan frowned when he heard this. He really didn’t anticipate such a response.
Ye Rongxu was also stunned. He felt that Xie Yunming’s words were too obnoxious and really wanted to tell Qin Chaoyan: Forget about this uncle.
But if he didn’t make it clear, should they let Qin Jingxu take advantage of the situation, and Qin Chaoyan be punished and sent to jail by them?
Ye Rongxu immediately retorted, “Really? But Qin Chaoyan and Xie Yu’s report is also true, without any human interference. If you don’t believe it, we can redo the test.”
Xie Yunming saw that he actually dared to take the initiative to mention the re-identification with a confident tone, so he couldn’t help but frown slightly and carefully survey him, as if he wanted to find a trace of lying in his demeanor.
But Ye Rongxu still appeared calm and continued, “Of course, if Xie Yu has nothing to do with the Xie family and is not Aunt Xiaohua’s biological son, then Qin Chaoyan is indeed not Aunt Zhao’s son.”
But this is impossible. Xie Yu and Xie Yi look very similar, and they both inherited the appearance of their mother, Xie Yunhua. It’s impossible that they are not biological.
On top of that, the two sisters, Xie Yunhua and Xie Yunzhao, were twins, and the degree of similarity in their appearance is needless to say.
In addition, the possibility of the hospital making a mistake isn’t big either. Qin Jingxu’s samples were sent the next day, when Qin Chaoyan’s identification results came out. There is no possibility of mixing up the two samples.
In fact, Ye Rongxu recalled carefully and felt that Qin Chaoyan’s appearance should be a bit like the grandmother of the Xie family, that is, Qin Chaoyan’s maternal grandmother. And the Xie sisters’ appearance, on the other hand, is more inherited from their father, that is, Qin Chaoyan’s maternal grandfather.
This is probably intergenerational inheritance, so if you don’t look closely at Qin Chaoyan, it’s difficult to associate his appearance with Xie Yunzhao.
The old couple of the Xie family had twin daughters in their old age. Their children and grandchildren have not seen much of their youthful appearance. Ye Rongxu had seen a photo of Grandma Xie when she was young before; that’s why he thought of this.
So he was very sure, and his intuition told him that Qin Chaoyan was Aunt Zhao’s son.
Xie Yu was stunned when he heard this and thought: How come I’m suddenly not my mother’s son?
However, he thought of the inexplicable scalp pain when he met Ye Rongxu in the hospital before and knew that it should be the identification done that day, so he hurriedly said, “Uncle, Qin Chaoyan really did the identification with me.”
As for whether there was human interference in the identification process, he didn’t know. Anyway, he liked Qin Chaoyan better than Qin Jingxu.
Ye Rongxu turned his head to look at him, a little embarrassed to drag him into the water, but—
He quickly turned his gaze back and emphasized loudly, “So, unless Xie Yu is not a member of the Xie family, I have reasonable doubts about Qin Jingxu’s status as the heir. As a shareholder representative, I oppose his inheritance of the shares.”
“In addition, I can guarantee that there’s no problem with the identification report I took out, and I dare to redo the test in front of everyone. I just don’t know… If Mr. Xie dares? How do you know that it’s not your identification report that has problems? Speaking of which, I see that you don’t look much like a member of the Xie family.”
His last sentence was purely a deliberate irritation to Xie Yunming, satirizing the unfriendly words the other party had just said.
Adding to the fact that his voice wasn’t too loud due to his weak body, after finishing this long paragraph, he even had some unsteady breath, so both Qin Chaoyan and Ji Qingyu couldn’t help but bend down and smooth out his breath for him.
But it was this casual retort that made Xie Yunming’s body tremble slightly.
Why did Ye Boxuan’s son dare to say something like re-identification? And his tone was so confident? Wasn’t he afraid of being exposed? Or is his identification report really not fake?
But how is this possible?
He stared at Ye Rongxu’s face, which was somewhat pale and sickly from saying too many words in one breath, trying to find the slightest hint of weakness in it.
However, there was none; the child even raised his eyes to meet his gaze without fear.
Xie Yunming’s indifferent expression finally changed, and his pupils trembled slightly.
He quickly looked at Qin Chaoyan again because he had never spared him more than two glances.At this moment, his gaze wandered carefully inch by inch, and in a daze, he seemed to see a hint of Xie Yunzhao’s shadow on the other person.
Especially since Xie Yu was standing next to Qin Chaoyan at this moment, the similarity of eyebrows and eyes seemed to be easier to see under close comparison.
Xie Yunming’s hands suddenly trembled, and his heartbeat fluctuated violently.
He suddenly grabbed the identification report that had just been passed into Xie Yi’s hands, his five fingers gripping the pages with a death grip, the backs of his hands exposed with veins, the muscles of his face tense, and a repressed madness in his gloom.
He seemed to have Parkinson’s disease; his hands trembled as he quickly turned the pages, and his eyes were like torches, staring at the words in the report.
Xie Yi was frightened by his reaction, stood up, and said nervously, “Uncle…”
Xie Yunming quickly finished reading the identification report and suddenly grabbed the pages with both hands and pressed them hard on the table. He supported the table with his arms, muttering, “Impossible, this is impossible…”
Suddenly, he half stood up, his eyes locked on Qin Chaoyan.
Qin Chaoyan frowned and turned his head to look at him; his expression was cold.
Xie Yunming suddenly looked like he was having a heart attack and clutched his chest tightly.
Xie Yi was startled and supported him reflexively.
Xie Yunming’s hands were like iron pliers, gripping his arm tightly and speaking in a difficult voice, “Call your mother back to China, call Yunhua back to China…”
He wanted to do another test. Yunhua and Yunzhao were twins. If Yunhua comes back to do the identification, it will definitely not be wrong.
His pupils shrank, and his originally gloomy face was now excited due to the violent ups and downs of emotions, his eyes fixed on Qin Chaoyan.
Xie Yi hurriedly supported him and whispered, “Uncle, don’t worry; I will contact my mother immediately.”
Seeing that his uncle wasn’t in good condition, Xie Yu also hurried over and asked nervously, “Uncle, are you okay?”
Even if he found his real cousin, he didn’t need to be so excited. The other party wouldn’t run away.
Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable under Xie Yunming’s gaze.
Ye Rongxu also frowned and was even a little scared. Why did Xie Yunming suddenly seem to have an attack?
With things turning out like this, the shareholders’ meeting obviously couldn’t continue.
After all, Xie Yunming, who insisted that Qin Jingxu inherit the equity, couldn’t take care of this matter at the moment.
Even if he still cared, the other shareholders would not agree; after all, Qin Jingxu is now most likely not Xie Yunzhao’s son. How can he be allowed to inherit the equity so hastily?
Finally, Old Lady Qin, who had been calm all this time, announced that since Qin Jingxu’s identity was in doubt, the issue of equity inheritance wouldn’t be discussed for the time being, and a decision would be made after the re-identification results came out.
While most of the shareholders were able to accept this result, Qin Jingxu was completely paralyzed in his seat, his face pale, and he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand.
For him, re-identification was just a postponement of the death penalty for the death row prisoner. Once the results came out, he would lose everything completely.
He was like a despicable thief, and everything he stole had to be returned eventually.
No, there was an even more terrible result.
His pupils suddenly tightened, fear gradually emerged in his eyes, and his hands holding the armrests of the chair also exerted a little force.
He looked at Qin Chaoyan and Ye Rongxu, but Ye Rongxu didn’t pay any attention to him at all. Qin Chaoyan only lightly swept a glance at him before pushing Ye Rongxu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, to turn around and leave.
Qin Jingxu’s throat tightened, and he suddenly bit his fingers nervously, his face tense.
No, he had to find a place to hide and hide quickly. Xie Yunming would not let him go.
Zhang Yun, yes, let Zhang Yun take care of everything.
The shareholders passing by saw him in a state of panic at the moment and secretly shook their heads, but they didn’t care too much.
Qin Qijiang even forgot about his favored son and instead quickly followed behind Old Lady Qin, lowering his voice and saying, “Mom, did you know about this in advance?”
Old Lady Qin was supported by the nurse, turned her head, and looked at him with a stern gaze.
Qin Qijiang froze, thinking of his various plans to calculate the shares in his mother’s hands; his expression was embarrassed.
However, when he saw the old lady turning around to leave, he quickly caught up with her and complained, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance about such a big matter? Just now, I almost…”
“I just found out before the meeting. Besides, Chairman, haven’t you been very busy recently? You don’t even have time to answer the phone calls from me as a mother.” The old lady’s tone was calm, with unspeakable coldness and disappointment.
Qin Qijiang smiled stiffly but continued, “Even so, you shouldn’t let the kid from the Ye family talk about this at the shareholders’ meeting. Family disgrace shouldn’t be made public. If there’s anything, we can talk about it in private…”
“You still know it’s a family disgrace?” The old lady suddenly shouted, and then she coughed violently due to her weak body.
The nurse hurriedly told her to take it easy.
There were many executives of the group and shareholders who had not left yet. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Qin Qijiang hurriedly showed concern for his mother.
The old lady couldn’t see much sincerity in his gesture, only perfunctory, and she became more disappointed.
She pushed her son away and said in a light tone, “We have already owed too much to Chaoyan. This can be regarded as compensation.”
Re-announcing his true identity at the shareholders’ meeting, in front of everyone, fair and square, let’s just hope …… it makes up for it a little bit.
The old lady sighed in her heart.
Ye Rongxu, Qin Chaoyan, and Ji Qingyu left the venue and went to the elevator when they suddenly ran into Xie Yunming and his group.
To be precise, they should have been waiting here in advance.
Xie Yunming didn’t sit in a wheelchair this time but leaned on crutches. His previous cold eyes were now fixed on Qin Chaoyan.
Ye Rongxu realized that his legs were not very good, and when he took a step forward, his pace was a little limp. Qin Chaoyan only gave him a glance and then retracted his gaze with a cold expression.
Xie Yunming paused.
Qin Chaoyan pushed Ye Rongxu toward the elevator.
The two sides passed by, just like that day, separated by a police car, with only a distant, indifferent glance at each other.
However, this time, only Qin Chaoyan was the indifferent party.
