Because of thinking about the past, Yan Anbang’s face was very ugly, “It’s been so long, is it interesting to mention it now?”

Zhao Jiaqing sneered, “It’s quite boring, Yan Anbang, don’t think I don’t know, after so many years, the reason why you love Yan Xi so much is because Yan Xi looks a bit like your illegitimate daughter. If it weren’t for this one or two similarities, would you love Yan Xi so much?”

“Zhao Jiaqing, today you want me to choose, is it right?” Yan Anbang was also angry. Qin Mu’s disappearance had always been a pain in his heart. It was no wonder that Zhao Jiaqing didn’t get angry when he brought it up like this.

How could Zhao Jiaqing be afraid of him, and looked at him indifferently, “Yan Anbang, I was blind to marry you in this life. My father didn’t agree with me marrying you back then. I was disobedient, so today I have also eaten this bitter fruit, if you want these letters, you can take them all, it is best to hold these letters of yours for the rest of your life, and see if your white moonlight will come back to you.”

In the study, the couple quarrelled fiercely. They didn’t realize that Yan Xi, who was supposed to have returned to the room, was standing outside the door, covering her small mouth, with an unbelievable expression on her face, especially after hearing everything, her face was already pale.

When Zhao Jiaqing opened the door and came out, she saw Yan Xi with a pale face. Her expression changed suddenly, “Xiao Xi, why are you here?”

Yan Anbang also saw his daughter, especially how she was whiter than white paper. When he saw her pale face, he no longer cared about those old things, and walked over quickly, “Xiao Xi.”

Yan Xi’s eyes rolled slightly, looking at her parents who looked at her worriedly, she always thought her parents were very loving, and they were a model couple in the eyes of others. She thought she had a very happy family, but it turned out that everything was just her own opinion?

“Is what you said true?” Her voice was very soft, her face was very pale, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she would fall down any second.

Zhao Jiaqing was injured when she gave birth to Yan Shengyu and fell ill again. She should never have gotten pregnant again, but she still becames pregnant with Yan Xi. The doctor also said that the child was born with deficiencies and it was best to get rid of it.

Zhao Jiaqing’s father had passed away when she was pregnant with Yan Xi, Yan Shengyu and the child in her womb were her only relatives, she was reluctant no matter what and insisted on giving birth.

Yan Xi, who was born simply, did not lack arms or legs, but her health was very poor, and she also had severe asthma. The Yan family took good care of her, and now she was the healthy and lively Yan Xi.

Seeing her daughter like this now, Zhao Jiaqing felt infinite regret. She shouldn’t have quarrelled with her husband just now, and she shouldn’t have mentioned those old things, and her daughter even overheard her. Her daughter had always been innocent, so what should she do now.

“Is what you just said true? Dad, he really has an illegitimate daughter?” Yan Xi looked at her parents in front of her with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Jiaqing and Yan Anbang were silent.

Yan Xi looked at Yan Anbang, “You love me so much because I look like that illegitimate daughter?” Her voice was trembling.

Yan Anbang immediately shook his head, “No, Xiao Xi, you are father’s daughter, and father loves you.”

Yan Xi smiled, but shed tears at the same time. The happy family she thought was fake, even father’s love was fake.

“Xiao Xi, where are you going?” Yan Xi turned around and ran away. Zhao Jiaqing didn’t catch her. Seeing that Yan Xi was about to run out of the house, Yan Anbang finally grabbed her daughter.

It was too dangerous for a little girl to go out on this big night.

“Xiao Xi, we have something so say at home, don’t be wilful.” Yan Anbang held his daughter and wanted to take her back to the room regardless of her struggle.

Yan Xi’s face was full of tears, she was crying until she was out of breath, but Yan Anbang still took her back to the room, “Xiao Xi, listen to father, your father has always loved you, not because of who you look like, but because you are my daughter, my favourite daughter.”

Yan Xi kept crying and didn’t listen to Yan Anbang at all. Yan Anbang comforted her for a long time, but it was useless after all. Zhao Jiaqing came up to comfort and persuade, but it was also useless.

The couple had no choice but to leave the room, to let Yan Xi calm down.

Yan Xi called Shen Qinglan, but the phone was turned off and she couldn’t get through at all. She wanted to call her brother, but if her brother knew, would he feel as sad as she did?

Zhao Jiaqing went back to the room, while Yan Anbang went to the study, and threw all the letters and photos into the trash can. It wasn’t that he didn’t have feelings for the mother and daughter. In his heart, that mother and daughter would always have a place. Only now, for him, the current family was the most important, especially his two children.

But early the next morning, when Zhao Jiaqing came up to look for Yan Xi with breakfast, she found that Yan Xi was gone, and the photos in the study that should have been thrown into the trash by Yan Anbang was also gone. To be precise, they were half missing.

Listening to Yan Xi’s story, Shen Qinglan’s eyes turned complicated. She didn’t expect that Qin Mu was really from the Yan family, more precisely she was the illegitimate daughter of the Yan family.

“Big sister, do you think my father treats me so well because I look like that person?” Yan Xi asked, her voice choked up.

Shen Qinglan didn’t think that Yan Xi looked very similar to Qin Mu. Although she had never seen Yan Xi when she was a child, nor did she wait until Qin Mu grew up, but judging from the contours of their faces, Yan Xi and Qin Mu’s, she could only say that there was one or two points of similarity, that’s it, she had known Yan Xi for so long, and she had never associated Yan Xi with Qin Mu.

If it wasn’t for that painting exhibition where Yan Xi recognized Qin Mu, maybe she would still need to investigate Qin Mu’s life experience for a long time before she could find out, or maybe she couldn’t find it out at all.

“Yan Xi, you should feel with your heart how your father treats you.” Shen Qinglan’s voice was slightly warm. Although Yan Xi was from the Yan family, and Qin Mu’s disappearance back then was probably related to the Yan family, but Shen Qinglan couldn’t hate this innocent and lively little girl.

Yan Xi was silent, thinking about something with her head down, “Big sister, that Qin Mu you’re talking about…”

“She’s already dead, more than ten years ago.” Shen Qinglan’s voice was slightly cold, and there was a flash of sadness in her eyes, the bloodiness of that day seemed to be slowly unfolding in front of her eyes.

She still remembered that Qin Mu’s favourite thing to say to her was, “Xiao Qi, no matter how painful or desperate you are, you must persevere. You must live. Only by living can you go home and return to your loved ones.”

She told her to live and go home. So she survived and went home.

Yan Xi looked up at Shen Qinglan and her eyes were unbelievable, “Dead…Dead.”

Shen Qinglan nodded, “Yes, dead.”

“Big sister, is she the one in the photo?” Although Yan Xi knew she was her illegitimate sister and was very uncomfortable, and she knew that the child had been lost long ago, but she never thought about letting the other party die, so when she suddenly heard that she was dead, there was a faint expectation in her heart, hoping that person who had died was not her illegitimate sister.

Shen Qinglan wanted to nod, but she finally shook her head when she met Yan Xi’s gaze, “Probably not, the person I knew was an orphan, and we met in an orphanage.”

Yan Xi seemed relieved, “How did she die?”

“Sick, got a serious illness, and went without money for treatment.”

Yan Xi was silent again, and after a long time, she spoke slowly, “Big sister, you say what if that person reappears one day, what should I do? If she comes back to find my father? Will my father recognize her?”

Shen Qinglan’s eyes flickered, if Qin Mu could come back, would she come back to find her family? She thought she will, after all, she was so eager to go home, presumably in her memory, her parents should be very good to her, otherwise she would not want to go home.

“What about you? Do you want her to come back?” Knowing that Qin Mu would never come back, Shen Qinglan really wants to know Yan Xi’s attitude towards Qin Mu. Speaking of which, Yan Xi could be regarded as Qin Mu’s family.

Yan Xi shook her head gently, “I don’t know, her mother is the one who destroyed my mother’s happiness. Logically, I should hate her, but I can’t hate her. In fact, birth was not her choice. It’s my father and her mother who did the wrong thing, and it has nothing to do with her. Big sister, do you think, what I think is strange?”

Shen Qinglan smiled, with a real smile in her eyes, “Yan Xi, you are very kind, don’t worry about the affairs between adults, just be yourself.”

“Can I?” Yan Xi looked confused.

Shen Qinglan nodded affirmatively, “Of course. You are you, they are them.”

Yan Xi didn’t speak, but just looked at the ground in front of her, not knowing what to think.

Shen Qinglan didn’t speak anymore, she suddenly knew about Qin Mu’s life experience, and she couldn’t digest it either. Her eyes fell on the photo Yan Xi brought over, she kept looking at Qin Mu in the photo with an unpredictable expression.

Yan Shengyu sent Yan Xi here today, but he didn’t come up, just waited outside.
