When the three of them passed by Xie Yunming and his group, Xie Yunming moved a little, but when he saw Qin Chaoyan’s expression, he froze again, and his hand on the crutch suddenly clenched.
Next to him, a butler of about his age hurriedly supported him, advising in a low voice, “Sir, don’t get too worked up; think of your body.”
Xie Yunming seemed not to hear his words. His eyes followed closely and fell on Qin Chaoyan.
Ye Rongxu thought the party would ask someone to stop them, but he didn’t in the end.
After the three entered the elevator and left the Qin Group, Ye Rongxu turned around and looked at Qin Chaoyan hesitantly.
Qin Chaoyan seemed to guess what he was going to say and said, “A person like him, on that kind of occasion, will definitely take into account his dignity.”
So even if he had started to believe the claim, he wouldn’t have come forward to stop him in an unbecoming manner, shown regret, or forced him to recognize the family.
The most respectable approach should be to make another appointment for a formal meeting or to negotiate through the Ye family and Old Lady Qin.
Of course, before that, another identification must be done to confirm the facts.
Ji Qingyu nodded in agreement, but for some reason, thinking of Xie Yunming’s reaction after he finally knew that Qin Chaoyan was indeed Xie Yunzhao’s son, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Ye Rongxu actually wanted to know more about Qin Chaoyan’s attitude towards his uncle, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
Qin Chaoyan seemed to have seen it and said softly, “To me, they are just strangers with blood ties.”
There was no expectation in the first place, so there was no disappointment.
Seeing that he really didn’t care and wasn’t hurt by Xie Yunming’s initial attitude, Ye Rongxu was slightly relieved.
*
Things were exactly as Qin Chaoyan thought. That afternoon, Xie Yi contacted Qin Chaoyan on behalf of the Xie family and earnestly asked for another identification.
Qin Chaoyan didn’t refuse. Regardless of whether the Xie family brought it up, he was obligated to address the issue with shareholders. But since they brought it up, he didn’t have to bother reaching out to them.
He wasn’t greedy for equity and property, but as Ye Rongxu said, he didn’t want to give Qin Jingxu a bargain.
Stolen things should be returned.
He could give it to the Xie family or donate it, but he couldn’t give it to a thief. What’s more, the other party wanted to send him to prison first, so he had to fight back.
The hospital for the second identification was chosen by both Xie Yunming and Grandma Qin, and this decision was approved by the shareholders.
When Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan arrived at the hospital together, they found that Xie Yunming was there too. Qin Jingxu didn’t come, but Qin Qijiang sent his blood sample.
Xie Yunming looked disgusted when he saw the blood sample.
For him, the focus today wasn’t Qin Jingxu, but Qin Chaoyan… and himself.
Xie Yunhua wasn’t here yet. The plane wouldn’t arrive until the evening.
But Xie Yunming couldn’t wait any longer. He brought Xie Yi and Xie Yu with him, and not only that, he also drew his own blood.
He had to do three tests: one for Qin Chaoyan and Xie Yi, one for Xie Yu, and…his.
He seemed impatient to know the result and didn’t leave after drawing blood. He sat quietly on a chair in the corridor, with no emotion on his face, but his hand gripping the cane with extra strength.
Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan already knew how the result would come out. Besides, Ye Rongxu didn’t like the hospital, and Qin Chaoyan also didn’t want to stay with these people for too long, so he left after drawing blood.
Xie Yunming turned his head to look at their backs as they left, and his heart seemed to sink a little bit in the thick and heavy cold water.
He suddenly didn’t dare to face the truth that was about to come out. After closing his eyes, he suddenly leaned on the cane, stood up with difficulty, and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go back and wait.”
Xie Yi and Xie Yu were stunned, and then they reached out to help him with the butler Anton.
But Xie Yunming shook them off, leaning on the cane alone, limping away.
The truth was delivered to the hotel where Xie Yunming was staying at night.
Xie Yunhua also arrived in Jiangcheng at the same time. Xie Yi took his brother to the airport to pick her up and take her to the hotel.
Xie Yunhua was in a hurry and heard the situation from her two sons on the way. She felt mixed emotions when she learned that Qin Jingxu wasn’t her sister’s child. Fortunately, she soon learned that her sister’s real child had been found.
Xie Yunhua was no longer in a hurry to see Xie Yunming. She wanted to see her sister’s biological son first—the child named Qin Chaoyan.
But Xie Yi said, “Mom, this matter is a bit complicated. Uncle had a quarrel with Cousin at the shareholders’ meeting, so he may not want to see us now. We need to think about this carefully. Besides, Uncle… Anyway, let’s go to the hotel first.”
The younger son, Xie Yu, was outspoken and said directly, “Uncle said that he had done an identification with Qin Chaoyan before, and the result showed that they’re not related. At the shareholders’ meeting, he didn’t admit that Qin Chaoyan was Auntie’s son, but Xiao Xuxu said that the identification he had taken out was also true, so in the afternoon, Uncle, Brother, and I went to redo the identification with Qin Chaoyan. Now Uncle is waiting for the result.”
After speaking, he was puzzled: “If the identification given by Xiao Xuxu was true, then how could Uncle’s identification result back then show that they’re unrelated? Did the doctor make a mistake back then? Or did Uncle not actually do the identification and deliberately deceive Xiao Xuxu and others at the shareholders’ meeting?”
Xie Yunhua was startled when she heard this, and the blood color on her elegant and beautiful face gradually faded.
The carefree Xie Yu didn’t notice it yet and turned around, asking, “By the way, Mom, what do you think?”
“Xiao Yu, can you just shut up?” Xie Yi, who was driving, couldn’t help but scold him when he saw this.
Xie Yu immediately wilted and stopped talking.
Xie Yunhua didn’t say anything along the way. When she arrived at the hotel, she didn’t stop for a moment and hurried to see Xie Yunming in her thin high heels. She almost sprained her ankle on the way.
When she arrived outside Xie Yunming’s room, she pushed the door open without waiting for Butler Anton to report or knocking on the door.
There were no lights in the room, illuminated only by the dim glow of the city lights outside, dark and lonely, much like the depths of the ocean.
Xie Yunming sat motionless on the sofa, a document clutched in his hand, his posture rigid against the back of the sofa, like a sculpture shrouded in darkness.
Xie Yunhua’s throat tightened. She turned on the light and said with difficulty, “Brother…”
Xie Yunming raised his hand to cover his eyes, his face as pale as the document in his hand.
After a long time, he finally put down his hand and said in a distant voice, “Yunhua, you’re here.”
Xie Yunhua took a few steps forward and took the documents from him. Before she had time to read them, Xie Yunming sat up, as if he had regained his strength, and narrated calmly.
“These three are the kinship tests done by Xie Yi, Xie Yu, and me with the child. It’s strange that Xie Yi and Xie Yu are all related to him, but I am not. Yunhua, do you think there’s something wrong? Tomorrow I should go with Xie Yi and Xie Yu to do another one. No, no, it should be with you. You are their mother, the daughter of my parents, and the sister of Yunzhao…”
He murmured, as if immersed in himself.
Xie Yunhua finally couldn’t bear it anymore and called out, “Brother!”
Xie Yunming looked up. His blank eyes saw the reluctance on her face but didn’t see the surprise and shock.
He was momentarily stunned, his gaze fixed on the identification report in Xie Yunhua’s hand. A hint of stiffness appeared on his tired expression.
After a long time, his expression crumbled as he stared at Xie Yunhua, asking through gritted teeth, “You knew it a long time ago? You knew that I…”
Knew that he has no blood relationship with the Xie family? Knew that he’s not his parents’ son at all, let alone… Yunzhao’s brother?
Xie Yunhua nodded gently.
“I really knew about it a long time ago.” She said it in a very light tone.
Xie Yunming froze.
No wonder, no wonder the test results of him and Qin Chaoyan showed that they were not related. It turned out that he was the one who had no blood relationship with the Xie family and Yunzhao; he…
He suddenly thought of something, his expression froze, and he suddenly asked in a stern voice, “What about your sister? Does your sister know too?”
He grabbed Xie Yunhua’s hand tightly, like grabbing a life-saving driftwood, hoping that she would utter a word of denial.
Xie Yunhua also froze, and gradually, her eyes showed sadness.
In an instant, Xie Yunming understood everything.
His body was stiff, and gradually, his five fingers loosened, and his body fell back on the sofa, smiling sadly: “She knew; it turns out that she also knew…”
Xie Yunhua looked at him with some sympathy.
She and her sister Xie Yunzhao are twins, and they grew up together, but her brother has always treated her sister better.
It’s not that Xie Yunming treats her badly; it’s just that compared to Yunzhao, Xie Yunming treats her like a brother to a sister in an ordinary family.
When she was young, she used to be envious and even a little jealous of Yunzhao, thinking that Xie Yunming was partial and unfair.
It wasn’t until later that she accidentally discovered Xie Yunming’s extreme and twisted feelings for her sister.
She felt that her sister might have also noticed it; that’s why she hurriedly got engaged and married to Qin Qijiang.
It’s not that her sister married Qin Qijiang without love at all, but…she could have been more cautious and less hasty.
Later, when Qin Qijiang was caught cheating and the marriage broke down, Xie Yunming seemed to stop hiding his feelings.
However…
Xie Yunhua once secretly told Xie Yunzhao that Xie Yunming was not their biological brother.
It’s just that Xie Yunzhao only had brother-sister feelings for Xie Yunming. She even knew about this earlier than her sister, but she warned her sister not to let Xie Yunming know. She hoped to maintain the brother-sister boundary with Xie Yunming.
But what they never expected was how crazy Xie Yunming could get.
At this moment, after knowing that Xie Yunzhao was in fact clear that they were not related by blood, he sat stiffly on the sofa for a long time and suddenly swept the items on the table in front of him, gasping violently.
His complexion clouded like a sudden downpour, smashing everything around him, venting his anger and saying, “She knew, she knew, but still chose Qin Qijiang. Even if he cheated and had a bunch of illegitimate children, she was still willing to go back! What was she thinking? That trash, what’s so good about that trash?”
Xie Yunhua was startled. The glass of red wine on the table broke at her feet, like blood splashed all over the floor.
Seeing Xie Yunming’s near-insanity, she finally couldn’t help herself and shouted, “Have you ever thought that it was to avoid you that she pretended to say she still liked Qin Qijiang?”
Actually, her sister was working on a divorce when she found out about Qin Qijiang’s affair, but she didn’t say so in front of Xie Yunming.
Suddenly Xie Yunming grabbed her collar, his eyes red: “What about you? Why didn’t you tell me that I have no blood relation with you two…”
The people outside heard the noise and rushed into the room.
Xie Yi and Xie Yu saw him grabbing their mother’s collar and rushed forward to pull him away.
The butler Anton also hurried forward and shouted, “Sir, calm down first.”
Xie Yunming was pushed and fell onto the sofa; his already maniacal appearance became even more abnormal, and his limbs began to tremble.
Xie Yu didn’t know what to do, while Xie Yi hurriedly blocked his mother behind him, looking nervous.
Xie Yunhua pushed her son away and said anxiously, “Why are you standing there? Give him medicine!”
After the commotion died down, exhaustion set in.
Xie Yu followed Xie Yi and came out together.
He glanced at his eldest brother’s tired face and asked carefully, “Brother, what happened to Uncle just now?”
In fact, he wanted to ask during the day. At the end of the shareholders’ meeting, their uncle’s reaction was obviously a bit… too extreme.
Xie Yi glanced at his brother, as if he were looking at a fool.
Just as Xie Yu couldn’t help but jump to his feet, Xie Yi said with some fatigue, “In the first few years when our family first moved abroad, didn’t you always ask where Uncle went?”
Xie Yu was stunned. Indeed, in the first few years when they moved to E Country, Uncle seemed to have disappeared. It wasn’t until the eve of their grandparents’ serious illness and death a few years ago that he returned and took over the company.
Xie Yi suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, “He has been in a mental hospital for treatment in those years.”
Xie Yu was stunned by the news, his eyes wide with disbelief.
After a long time, his lips moved, and when he was about to say something, Xie Yunhua came out of the room.
She came back in a hurry to catch the plane. At this moment, her beautiful face couldn’t hide her tiredness. She said to Xie Yi, who was standing at the door, “’We need to pass the news to the Ye family and the Qin family. Please help me contact your uncle Ye. I’m afraid your uncle will get sick again and do something irreversible.”
