Taking advantage of this east wind, Lian Clan's jewelry sales were especially good, with the sales volume also increasing significantly compared to previous years. When Lian He knew of this, deep in his heart he was very grateful to the person who exposed Yao Junfeng's background. Yao Junfeng had kept his secrets so well hidden; unexpectedly, someone had still pried them out. He didn't know who Yao Junfeng had managed to offend. "Lian He, Tang Yue is your daughter, your own flesh and blood, right?" Old Sir Lian said with a grave voice. Lian He nodded in confusion: "Yes, Dad, although Xiao Yue is still unwilling to recognize me, I can swear on my life that Xiao Yue is my daughter, my very own flesh and blood, without any falsehood." Lian He's expression was serious and earnest. Outside the door, upon hearing that Lian He had returned, Xiang Yazhi made two cups of tea and prepared to bring them over. She wanted to inquire about the property in Jiang City. A property, even if it wasn't in Sea City but in Jiang City, was worth quite a bit of money. Yet, it was given to Tang Yue for free, which made her extremely jealous in her heart. Originally, Lian He invested a lot in Jiang City, especially in Huayue Forest Park. Because of this, Xiang Yazhi had many arguments with Lian He, but in the end, she was persuaded by her own mother to let it go. Now, with another property emerging, Xiang Yazhi really wanted to ask him if there was still any place for Qingqing. The same daughters, but what had Lian He done for Lian Qingqing? As soon as she arrived outside the study, she heard Lian He's serious and earnest words, prompting Xiang Yazhi to stand outside the door quietly listening. "Then tell me, did you know about Tang Yue's marriage or not?" Old Sir Lian looked at Lian He with sharp, spirited eyes. Even though Old Sir Lian was advanced in years, his presence had not lessened at all, usually just seldomly showing his authority. Lian He felt a bit guilty and dared not meet Old Sir Lian's gaze. Old Sir Lian hurled an ashtray towards Lian He. Lian He had his own unspeakable difficulties. He said, "Dad, I... I didn't know about Xiao Yue's marriage. I only found out when I happened to visit Jing City that day. Dad, about the property matter..." Lian He thought that Old Sir Lian was going to settle accounts over the property. As he was about to explain, Old Sir Lian interrupted, "Your daughter, even giving a property is nothing much." Lian He let out a sigh of relief. The next moment, he heard Old Sir Lian say, "Lian He, you are indeed Xiao Yue's father, and after all this time, not only have you not brought my granddaughter home, but now she's even married and I, as a grandfather, didn't know?" "Lian He, let me tell you, even though she hasn't recognized her ancestors yet, whoever Xiao Yang likes must be a good girl." Moreover, Old Sir Lian had met Tang Yue today and he liked this young girl very much. Old Sir Lian became increasingly angry, slamming his hand down on the desk with a thunderous sound. He said, "When has a daughter of the Lian Family ever married in such a shabby manner? Even Lian Qing Xuan caused a stir in Sea City back in the day, but you, Lian He, let your biological daughter get married so quietly, where do I put this old face of mine?" "Lian He, I'm telling you, your daughter came to Sea City, did you not know that either?" Lian He had not yet recovered from Old Sir Lian's words, when he heard another bombshell from Old Sir Lian. Lian He blinked, thinking he had misheard: "Impossible, how could Xiao Yue come to Sea City..." He hadn't finished his sentence when he suddenly realized what was happening and asked, "Dad, did you meet Xiao Yue?" Old Sir Lian said unhappily, "You can't even recognize your own birth daughter, are you still Lian Hengliang's son?" "Dad, I also want to recognize her, but Xiao Yue..." Lian He felt a sense of defeat whenever he mentioned this daughter. For others, recognizing their daughter is so easy, especially when the biological father's family is so rich. But for Lian He, for Tang Yue, she doesn't care at all whether the Lian Family is wealthy or not. Despite his failure, Lian He was still proud of his daughter. Without relying on the Lian Family, she managed to carve out her own path, brought wealth to her family, and even married into the Meng Family. The Meng Family, Meng Siyu, even Lian He had to admit that this son-in-law was truly excellent. "Wishing alone is useless, you need to take action," Old Sir Lian scolded, his words filled with great satisfaction towards Tang Yue. Outside the room, Xiang Yazhi nearly dropped her tea when she overheard the conversation between father and son. She carefully backed out, shoved the tea towards the maid, and said, "If the old master asks about me, tell him I had to go back to my parents' home for an urgent matter." Xiang Yazhi gave her orders casually and immediately headed for the Xiang Family home. All the way there, Xiang Yazhi felt anxious, as if that despicable woman's vixen daughter wanted to snatch everything away from her. No, she couldn't go on . She had to protect everything for Qingqing. She couldn't let that vixen take everything for nothing! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel✦fire.net Everything of the Lian Family would belong to Qingqing in the future. "Yazhi, why are you back?" Seeing Xiang Yazhi, Mrs. Xiang felt a premonition and guessed her daughter's intention, "What happened, did you have another argument with Lian He?" "No." Xiang Yazhi's tone wasn't good as she said, "Mom, you've always told me to endure, and I've been listening to you, but if I keep enduring, everything of the Lian Family will belong to that vixen!" "What belongs to Qingqing? That's for Qingqing and Qingyang," Mrs. Xiang corrected. Xiang Yazhi's lips twitched, wanting to say something, then she stopped herself and changed her words, "Mom, you don't know, that vixen got married and Lian He just gave her an entire building complex! It's shameless, does she even know how much that property is worth?" "How much is it worth?" Mrs. Xiang tapped her forehead and said, "You're short-sighted. The Lian Family is so large, that one building complex, even if it's in Jiang City, how much can it be worth?" The vast business of the Lian Family was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. That Jiang City building complex was considered a symbol of extreme wealth in others' eyes, but for the Lian Family, it was merely a grain of rice in a mountain of gold. "But now even Old Sir Lian has taken a liking to that vixen," Xiang Yazhi said through gritted teeth. "I don't understand what's so good about her. Even Old Sir Lian likes her. Before even meeting her, he's already protective of her. What if they meet? Won't he spoil her to the heavens?" "Lian Qingqing has gone to great lengths to ingratiate herself, yet Old Sir Lian has never given her special treatment." Xiang Yazhi wrung her clothes, unable to stop the jealousy brewing within her. In her heart, Qingqing was the most beautiful, loveliest, and wisest woman in the world. "You," Mrs. Xiang said with a look of disappointment, "Old Sir Lian has always been protecting Qingyang from head to toe. With Qingyang around, you as her biological mother, and Qingqing as her biological sister could never be left wanting."
