Jin Qingyan listened to her seriously. First, he was in a state of shock, which slowly transitioned to him feeling heartache for her. He completely did not imagine that the situation on An Xiaoning’s mother’s side would be like this.
Especially about that book that she talked about at the end.
No wonder she brought her parents to the Autumn Palace.
After hearing from his mother-in-law that all these worries had been dispelled, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Grateful for the trust his mother-in-law had given him, Jin Qingyan remarked earnestly,
I won’t let down the trust Mother has in me. Although Father-in-law doesn’t quite trust me, from now onward, I’ll use my actions to prove that I really love Xiaoning wholeheartedly.




Why do you call her Mother and call me Father-in-law?
Tuoba Shuo raised his eyebrows skeptically.
Do you have something against me?


No…
Jin Qingyan hurriedly corrected himself,
Father, I definitely don’t have anything against you.

The crease on Tuoba Shuo’s brows smoothened out.
That’s more like it.


I can’t stay here much longer. I’ll leave Xiaoning in your hands, Father and Mother. When she wakes up, please get her to call me.


Why can’t you stay here longer?
Shi Qingzhou could not understand.

It seems like Xiaoning didn’t tell the two of you. Since Mother trusts me so much, I won’t hide this.
Jin Qingyan’s sparkled slightly.
Xiaoning and I divorced mainly because of Tuoba Gucheng. That time, when Xiaoning went to the Autumn Palace…

After much explaining from Jin Qingyan, the two who were listening had their jaws wide open.

You’re saying Tuoba Gucheng has fallen in love with Xiaoning?


Exactly…
Jin Qingyan uttered helplessly.
He was still threatening Xiaoning in various ways. Because of him, we have to pretend…


This is absolutely ridiculous!
Shi Qingzhou was extremely furious.
Even if he didn’t know before that Xiaoning is his half-sister, he should know now and put away his feelings for her. Moreover, he already has a wife who’s also pregnant!



Thereafter, she started berating Jin Qingyan,
All this while, Xiaoning didn’t tell me the reason for her divorce in detail. You’re muddle-headed as well! If everyone is like you, then will Shuo not ever be with me? A happy family like yours got destroyed just because of such a misunderstanding, what a shame that is! If the two of you had not broken up over this, then no matter how much Tuoba Gucheng likes Xiaoning, he won’t be able to interfere. Now that Xiaoning is single, things are different.


Mother is right. I regret it badly too.


Forget it, we can’t return to the past anyway. You should just cherish what you have before you. Go back first. When Xiaoning wakes up, I’ll get her to call you.


Okay.

Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo went downstairs together with him.
It was the first time Shi Qingzhou was seeing her grandson.

Call them Grandfather and Grandmother,
Jin Qingyan lowered his head and instructed his son.
Jin Yiheng looked at Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo with his crystal-clear eyes, obediently greeting them,
Grandfather, Grandmother. Wow, Grandmother looks so much like my Mommy.

Shi Qingzhou grinned, revealing the wrinkles around her eyes. She affectionately picked up his hand and replied,
That’s because Grandmother gave birth to your Mommy.

Jin Yiheng felt that she was absolutely amicable and pleasant. He asked innocently,
Why haven’t I seen Grandfather and Grandmother in the past?



Shi Qingzhou answered gently,
That’s because Grandmother and Grandfather went to a faraway place and only just came back. Why don’t you stay here and keep Grandfather and Grandmother company today?


Alright, alright…
Jin Yiheng eagerly responded.
Grandmother, will you beat me?


No, you’re a good child. Why would Grandmother beat you?


But even though I’m a good child, my Daddy always beats me up ruthlessly!

Jin Yiheng seemed to have found someone who could help him get even, so he started making accusations.
Shi Qingzhou let out a soft exclamation and probed,
Then tell me, how did your Daddy beat you up ruthlessly?

He looked up at Jin Qingyan, who was frowning slightly, and slowly answered,
It’s a really long story.

In the end, Jin Yiheng still left and did not stay with them.
The father and son sat in the car exchanging glances.
Jin Yiheng straightened his back seriously and, after a while, discreetly darted a glance at his father beside him. His gaze was met with his father’s ferocious glare immediately.



Daddy… don’t look at me like that. It’s quite scary.

Jin Qingyan darted a quick glance at him.
Then, why didn’t it scare you until you passed out?


Due to my powerful genes, I can resist it for a short while.

He ignored his son and continued to drive.
On the road, Jin Yiheng started to ask about his Mommy.
Why haven’t I seen Mommy?


…


Daddy, I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?


…


Having problems with your hearing already? You must be getting old…

Once his words landed, a razor-like glare was emitted toward him. Jin Yiheng tucked his neck in and pursed his lips, not daring to make a sound anymore.

The first scandal in the business industry that was exposed after the New Year was about the Ye Corporation. It was first revealed that their finance director tried to flawlessly cover up the dishonest accounting he did and cheated the Ye Corporation out of a huge sum before escaping. Later, it was about their company reducing the salary and laying off employees on a large scale. Finally, a piece of unverified news was reported, which claimed that a huge company like the Ye Corporation had their business deals stolen by rivals since a few months ago and that their company’s earnings could hardly cover their expenditure. Not only that, it was reported that the Ye Corporation had joined forces with a few other companies to manipulate the stock market and was given a heavy fine of five billion dollars by the regulatory committee.
One could easily imagine how different the Ye Corporation had become from how it was in the past.
The huge company’s reputation declined drastically and continued to do so with every day that came.
As the leader of the Ye Corporation, Ye Xiaotian showed his dreadful temper every day in response to the series of blows his company had received. Throwing things around was merely a common occurrence.
Seeing how his son did not return home even during the New Year, Mrs. Ye was in a depressed mood and could not stop weeping all the time.
Having already been diagnosed with uremia, she had displayed signs of rejection from the kidney transplant. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was discovered that her illness had worsened.
She’d had no choice but be admitted to the hospital during the New Year.
Because of how nasty she had been treating her daughter-in-law who could not give birth to a son, she did not even come to take care of her during the period of her hospitalization.
On the other hand, her daughter was in a foreign land and could not come back.
After being hospitalized for a few days, on the day she was discharged from the hospital, she ran into Mrs. Mo, who was getting herbal medicine to nourish Mo Li’s body.
The two who were once in-laws saw red the moment they met.
Mrs. Mo did not stand on ceremony as she sneered,
Wow, retribution came quickly for you. I hope it comes even faster so that it’ll be an eye-opener even for the heavens.


You, you’re just the mother of a woman who can’t even give birth to a son. What’s there to be cocky about? Moreover, she can’t even give birth anymore for the rest of her life. What a shame. No man will probably want her anymore, right?

Mrs. Mo’s eyes flashed with hatred and she smirked coldly.
No matter what, a woman will still be able to get married. But as for a grandson to continue the family line, your family will probably be deprived of it. You devilish woman, continue to act like this. I heard your family’s company will soon go bust. I’ll be waiting for that day to come.


You…
Mrs. Ye retorted.
No matter what, we’re still richer than your family!


Yes, you may be rich, but even so, it won’t change the determination the heavens have to take you!!!

Mrs. Ye was infuriated beyond words.
I can’t be bothered with you!!!

On the way back, the same line from Mrs. Mo about the Ye family having no descendants was repeating in Mrs. Ye’s head.
Even when she had reached home, the anger within her still had not soothed.
She called Ye Xiaotian to get him to return. But, with all the things that were going on, Ye Xiaotian could not possibly be in the mood or have the time to do so. He immediately rejected her outright.
