No. 178 Heqinghua
He Junzhi probably never expected that two rats would sneak into his manor.
To be precise, there were three.
Since Chen Xiao had neither an ID card nor a mobile phone, and Yan Ting's makeup skills were so realistic, the housekeeper could only find out that he used to be a driver after checking and checking.
So, after three days of trial work, Chen Xiao stayed in the Crane Garden.
The only thing is that this young man seems to have some social anxiety.
He doesn't talk much.
According to Yanting's reply, he suffers from autism.
The butler was initially skeptical, but after several days of observation, he was convinced that Chen Xiao had autism.
Chen Xiao's already pitiful heart became even more overflowing.
This is the fundamental reason why Yanting started by targeting the steward.
This butler is a true saint.
If they could gain his sympathy, their chances of infiltrating Crane Garden would greatly increase.
……
some days ago.
Yan Nan stared at Li Qian with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Mother, tell me honestly, what's going on between Yan Lan and Yan Ting?"
Li Qian avoided eye contact, unable to meet her son's sharp gaze.
"I do not know!"
Yan Nan frowned: "Don't lie to me."
He's not stupid; he can see through the deception.
In his memories of his past life, he only knew that the ending of Yanting was a tragedy; he didn't know much about other details.
However, he did not expect that Yanting's death was related to Yanlan and his family.
Seeing that Yan Nan was about to ask some questions, Li Qian could only stammer, "Then can you guarantee that you won't interfere in Yan Lan's matter?"
Yan Nan said calmly, "I might intervene if you don't tell me."
Now that things have come to this, Li Qian no longer wants to hide it: "You want to ask me why I've become so close to Yanlan? There's only one reason: she's your biological sister. That bastard Yanting isn't your sister at all."
At this point, Li Qian said indignantly, "I said before that Yanting was a menace, but you kept protecting her. The sister you should be protecting the most is Lanlan."
"..."
Surprisingly, Yan Nan was not surprised at all.
In fact, he had already guessed that this situation was likely.
Yanlan is his sister, so everything makes sense.
Why did Yanlan suddenly come to Yancheng? Why did she insist on becoming friends with Yanting? Why was Li Qian's attitude towards Yanlan unusual before? ... All of this can be traced back to some clue.
Yan Nan sat in the chair with his legs crossed. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before looking up at Li Qian and saying, "I only recognize Yan Ting as my sister."
To him, Yanlan was just a stranger who was related to him by blood.
It's impossible for him to develop sibling-like feelings for Yanlan just because of blood ties.
Yan Nan has always been cold-hearted. He treats his parents this way, let alone a complete stranger like a younger sister he's never met.
Li Qian recalled some rumors circulating in the industry, and her expression suddenly changed: "Anan, tell me, do you like Yanting?"
Yan Nan was stunned.
His expression changed slightly: "She is my sister."
Li Qian noticed something was off about his expression and said angrily, "Don't try to hide it from me. You've been bewitched by that slut. No wonder you're so biased towards her. Tell me, does she seduce you when I'm not around?"
Yan Nan was somewhat displeased: "Mother, can you please stop calling her a 'bitch'? She's your daughter too, even if she's not related to you by blood."
“She’s not my daughter. My daughter is Yanlan.” Li Qian sneered, “She doesn’t deserve to be my daughter.”
Yan Nan said in a calm tone, "But in this matter, your own daughter actually benefited greatly."
Li Qian was speechless for a moment.
"...That's your own sister."
"Blood ties are not very important to me."
Li Qian looked at Yan Nan in disbelief, as if she were seeing this son for the first time. "So, you don't care about me or your father?"
Yan Nan asked casually, "Mother, are you sure my father is really my father?"
Li Qian's face paled: "What do you mean?"
Yan Nan looked at her quietly: "Dear Mother, you know what I mean."
Li Qian felt a little flustered, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Do you think I did something to betray your father? How can you see me like that?"
“There’s no need to hide anything.” Yan Nan’s expression was unusually calm: “I don’t care who my father is, but I care about power and status. If the old man finds out about this, you know what the ultimate consequences will be for your son.”
Li Qian fell silent immediately.
After a moment, she murmured, "Your father is indeed not Yanshan. When I married your father, I secretly became pregnant with you. Your father thought I was carrying his son, which is why he married me."
Li Qian's family background is not very wealthy; they can only be described as a middle-class family.
Yanshan had always wanted a son, but all the women he had dated were daughters, until he met her.
Although Li Qian is vain and narrow-minded, there is one thing she excels at: manipulating men.
Men generally dislike career-driven, strong-willed women, so when Li Qian was with Yan Shan, she would act a little more feminine, gentle, and occasionally a bit dramatic.
Most men are very susceptible to this.
Yan Nan interrupted Li Qian before she could finish speaking, and suddenly asked, "Who is that man?"
Li Qian was reluctant to speak, but seeing her son's firm attitude, she could only reply, "That person is He Qinghua from the He family of Yuzhou."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nan's eyes deepened slightly: "The He family."
Crane family...
He thought of He Junzhi.
That scientific genius.
The He family's influence is mainly concentrated in Yuzhou.
He Qinghua is He Junzhi's uncle.
According to Li Qian's description, He Qinghua had visited Yancheng several times before.
By chance, Li Qian met He Qinghua.
Then, after getting drunk, he had a one-night stand.
He Qinghua actually liked Li Qian to some extent; otherwise, Li Qian wouldn't have met Yanshan through him.
In other words, He Qinghua does not intend to marry Li Qian, but he can make her settle for marrying Yanshan instead.
Thus, Yanshan was set up, and Li Qian naturally became Mrs. Yan.
Li Qian secretly glanced at Yan Nan's expression: "Although he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he still cares about you as his son."
When Yan Nan first took over the company's overseas business, most of the difficulties he encountered were secretly resolved by He Qinghua.
The He family's sphere of influence extends to some overseas areas, so only He Qinghua can help him in this regard.
However, Yan Nan was not moved after hearing this. He felt that He Qinghua was just putting on an act. "If he really cared about me as his son, he wouldn't have let me recognize someone else as my father."
Men know men better.
It's impossible for He Qinghua to have only Li Qian as a woman. With his wealth, he could have many women, and many of them would have children for him.
Li Qian was just a past romantic affair of He Qinghua.
Seeing how Li Qian was defending He Qinghua, Yan Nan knew that in her mother's heart, Yan Shan was no match for He Qinghua.
