"Mom, I’ve just got home." Lian Qingqing rubbed her tired brow. She had only just gotten off the plane, only just refrained from showing any fatigue before Grandfather, had talked so much with him, and called Xiang Yazhi precisely because she was worried that her mother would be too anxious. "Qingqing, I know you’re tired, but Mom has this issue..." Xiang Yazhi hasn’t had a good meal or sleep for days because of this. If she loses her status as Mrs. Lian, how could she have the nerve to meet those sisters in her circle in the future? "Mom, bringing up the divorce as soon as I get back will definitely make Grandfather even angrier." Lian Qingqing sighed and said, "Mom, this matter can’t be rushed. I’m calling to ask you not to worry and just stay comfortably at the Xiang Family home for a few days." Lian Qingqing finished speaking and, without waiting for Xiang Yazhi’s response, hung up. If she kept on talking, Xiang Yazhi would surely start complaining again, repeating the same few sentiments, which she could almost recite by now. She pulled the covers over herself, told the aunt she needed to readjust to the time zone, and then fell asleep. When Lian He came home and saw Lian Qingqing, he was a bit surprised, asking, "Qingqing, you didn’t come back for Grandfather’s birthday before, why have you come today?" "Dad, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you, I missed you." Lian Qingqing threw herself at Lian He’s side, clinging to his arm and acting coquettishly, "Dad, don’t you miss me? You never call me." Lian Qingqing’s voice was sweet and soft, her pouting mouth made her coquettish behavior even more endearing. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fire.net "Qingqing, that’s not my fault, you college student are even busier than your dad." Lian He chuckled lightly; while he may not like Xiang Yazhi, both children were cherished deeply in his heart. Their mother’s wrongdoings had nothing to do with the children. "Dad, I always call you back." Lian Qingqing looked up, smiling sweetly, her voice soft, "Dad, I won a trophy and came straight back after the competition to apologize to Grandfather." "Grandfather, you’re a generous person, you wouldn’t hold a grudge against Qingqing, right?" Lian Qingqing stood obediently before Old Sir Lian, her attitude of admitting fault too much for anyone to bear to scold her. "Mhm." Old Sir Lian responded, "Qingqing, it was just a minor birthday, of course, it can’t compare to your competition. In the future, if you become successful, it will bring glory to the Lian Family." "Grandfather, in Qingqing’s heart, you are the most important." Lian Qingqing said seriously and sincerely. When Lian Qingyang saw Lian Qingqing, he pursed his lips, displeased with her ingratiating demeanor, when she clearly came back because of the divorce. Yet, she pretended to be oblivious to everything. After dinner, Old Sir Lian went out for a walk. Lian Qingqing asked, "Dad, has Mom gone to Grandma’s house? I haven’t seen her since I got back." "Yes." Lian He nodded, "Qingqing, a lot has happened while you were away from home." "Then tell me all about it, Dad." Lian Qingqing lifted her smile, her face one of curiosity, "I heard I have an elder sister now, is it true? Why haven’t I seen her at the Lian Family home this time?" "Yes, her name is Tang Yue, she’s Dad’s..." Lian He paused, then continued, "Ex-wife’s daughter." He didn’t want Tang Yue to bear the stigma of being a bastard, so this ex-wife was naturally the best protection. "That’s really great, I have an elder sister now." Lian Qingqing was all smiles without any hint of discontent over this revelation. Lian Qingqing said happily, "Where is she then?" "Gone back to the old home." Seeing Lian Qingqing’s sincere expression, Lian He was quite relieved and said, "As for your mom and your uncle, you’d better visit the hospital first." "Ah, why are they at the hospital?" Lian Qingqing immediately became anxious. After asking a few questions, which Lian He didn’t answer, she hurried out the door. Lian Qingyang snorted lightly and said, "Dad, I bet she knew about this and that’s why she came back." "Enough." Lian He glanced at him and said, "Qingyang, no matter what, Qingqing is your legitimate sister. Do you speak of your sister like that?" "I’d rather have Xiao Yue as my real sister." Lian Qingyang muttered quietly, but he didn’t dare say this in front of Lian He. Behind the scenes, no matter how bad the relationship between Lian Qingyang and Lian Qingqing was, on the surface, it definitely appeared warm and close as siblings. "Dad, uncle even tried to take Sister Xiao Yue’s life, you can’t be soft-hearted." Lian Qingyang reminded him. Lian He looked at him with a cool gaze and asked, "What, are you so eager for me to divorce your mom?" "A divorce is no big deal." Lian Qingyang’s eyes darted around as he said, "Even if you divorced, she’s still my mom, and we can’t be so selfish as to tie you two down, right?" "Alright, you don’t need to worry about this." With a long sigh, Lian He decided not to discuss this topic with Lian Qingyang anymore. When Lian Qingqing arrived, her uncle Xiang Yawen had just woken up and was talking with Xiang Yazhi. Lian Qingqing heard it all. "What am I to do with you!" Xiang Yazhi finally understood why Lian He was so angry. She thought, without actual harm, how could Lian He be so angry. That vixen, no matter what, is still Lian He’s daughter. If her own brother wanted her life, how could Lian He not divorce her? "Xiang Yawen, have you taken leave of your senses? Or is your brain sick?" Xiang Yazhi didn’t care that he was a patient who had just woken up, as she angrily questioned: "How could you harbor a murderous intent just because of a woman’s words? You wanted to kill Lian He’s daughter, could Lian He not divorce me? Could the Xiang Family not be finished?" "Uncle, you really surprised me!" Lian Qingqing pushed the door open and entered. If they hadn’t confessed with their own mouths, Lian Qingqing could hardly believe that her uncle, who was only good at eating, drinking, and gambling, actually had the nerve to kill! "What a shame, you aimed for the sheep’s meat, but ended up causing a big mess." Lian Qingqing was almost infuriated to death by her uncle and biological mother; for a mere roof tile, they had staked themselves too. "Mom, uncle, you really know how to operate, wanting to kill someone is one thing, but didn’t you know you’re supposed to clean up the mess without leaving any loose ends?" Lian Qingqing couldn’t help saying, "Why did you get caught on the spot?" "I...I didn’t know either." Until now, Xiang Yawen still didn’t understand, why did his brother-in-law and the others arrive so timely? Xiang Yazhi, equally angry and flushed with rage, said, "How could I have such a foolish brother?" "Mom, uncle, this is not the time to discuss this. The main thing now is to think about how to calm dad down." Lian Qingqing’s words had just ended. Xiang Yawen couldn’t help saying, "Qingqing, your uncle is really pitiable, I’ve even lost my life’s root, could your dad really want my life in return?"
