"Qi Siran!"
Qi's father's voice suddenly turned icy, "Do you know what you're saying!"
He almost roared it out.
The moment Qi Siran finished speaking, Mrs. Qi's face was also filled with disbelief.
Her lips moved up and down for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't say a word.
Seeing Mrs. Qi trembling like this, Qi Siran couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Dad..."
"Ah, no. Mr. Qi, didn't Mrs. Qi tell you about this?"
Qi Siran was now in a state of madness.
Nothing had hit him harder than Shao Yinan's words tonight.
"I just found out about it not long ago."
Qi Siran's shrill voice echoed in the empty room.
His face was covered with tears, showing a sense of helplessness and brokenness.
"It turns out that everything you did to me was premeditated."
Mrs. Qi quickly came to her senses. There were tears in her eyes, but she still tried to calm herself down.
"Siran, no matter whether you're my daughter or not, I'll always treat you with all my heart."
"The affection of over twenty years doesn't just disappear."
Qi Siran seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke.
"Affection? Isn't it a bit too ridiculous for you to talk about affection with me now?"
Mr. Qi quickly digested this information. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene had become even more tense, he couldn't help but speak up.
"Your mother is right. We've treated you sincerely all these years."
After Mr. Qi finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Qi with a complex look in his eyes.
Although he didn't know why she had only told him now.
But he believed that she must have her own difficulties.
"When you were sick as a child, your mother stayed by your bedside all night."
"This affection is real."
Qi Siran tugged at the corner of her mouth. Thinking of what happened tonight, there was a hint of misery in her voice.
"If you hadn't told me yourself, I would have thought her daughter was someone else."
"She can be kind to someone she doesn't know well, but why is she so cruel to me?"
Seeing that Qi Siran's words had circled back to the marriage between Shao Yinan and herself.
Mrs. Qi's face finally turned cold.
"Siran, I'm just preventing you from making mistakes."
Qi Siran just couldn't accept it. She ran towards her room, wailing.
The moment all the truths were exposed, Mrs. Qi slumped weakly on the sofa.
"Call the family doctor. We need to make sure the eldest miss doesn't over - grieve and have any heart problems."
Mrs. Qi rubbed her temples hard, wiped the tears from her face, and forced herself to calm down.
"Remember to keep an eye on Siran's condition at all times."
Qi Siran had a weak heart since childhood. Mrs. Qi was even more afraid that this incident would stimulate her and cause a heart attack.
"So what Siran said is all true?"
Mr. Qi's face suddenly showed a bit of aging. He sat beside Mrs. Qi but didn't know how to comfort her.
Mrs. Qi nodded weakly.
"I just found out about it accidentally before."
The two fell into a moment of silence.
"How long ago?"
Mr. Qi asked, his voice showing a faint hoarseness and tremor.
He couldn't imagine that the apple of his eye wasn't his own flesh and blood.
"About two years ago."
Although she had known that this day would come.
But Mrs. Qi didn't expect that it would be the person involved who would expose it in such a cruel way.
Mrs. Qi quickly closed her eyes, looking exhausted both physically and mentally.
"I'll talk to Siran and comfort her."
Such a huge piece of information was hard for anyone to accept. Mr. Qi couldn't help but speak up.
Knowing that Qi Siran's attitude towards Mrs. Qi would be a bit extreme, Mr. Qi took the initiative to take on the task of mediating.
When Wen Yin saw Shao Yinan's bloody hands, she couldn't help but let out a surprised cry.
"What happened to you?!"
The glass shards in Shao Yinan's hands had all been removed, and the blood on his hands had already coagulated into scabs.
But he sat on the sofa as if he couldn't feel the pain.
"I cleaned up the mess left by that old guy."
As he spoke, Wen Yin had already taken out the first - aid kit that was always kept at home.
Wen Yin held the hand that was in a mess from being stabbed by glass, looking at Shao Yinan with heartache.
She pursed her lips, and her movements were serious and careful. "It might hurt a bit."
Wen Yin said softly, and then carefully treated the wound on his hand.
When the cotton swab was soaked with iodine and used to disinfect the wound, Shao Yinan couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
"Hiss—"
Hearing this faint sound from Shao Yinan, Wen Yin couldn't help but slow down her movements.
While wiping the wound for him, Wen Yin gently blew on it with her mouth.
The gentle breeze carried Wen Yin's fragrance to his palm.
Shao Yinan only felt that the pain in his palm had dissipated a lot, replaced by a slight itching.
Wen Yin's movements were gentle and slow. It took her a full half - hour to treat the wound.
Shao Yinan's originally irritable heart was also soothed by Wen Yin's actions.
After Wen Yin patiently bandaged the wound, she patted him. "Okay. Don't let the wound get wet recently."
"Or it might get infected and inflamed."
Shao Yinan nodded and then began to tell Wen Yin what had happened tonight.
After Wen Yin heard about the chaotic things that had happened tonight, she couldn't help but yawn.
Sure enough, it was a ridiculous novel world.
All the wealthy families seemed so absurd.
"Qi Siran just gave up like this?"
Wen Yin was puzzled. According to her observation, this wasn't Qi Siran's character at all.
Shao Yinan pulled her into his arms, calming his irritability from the whole night. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I won't marry Qi Siran."
As he said this, he stroked the ring on Wen Yin's hand.
Wen Yin couldn't help but blush.
Shao Yinan nestled his head on her shoulder. "Qi Siran messed up my proposal. I haven't even settled the score with her yet."
Just mentioning this made Shao Yinan angry.
It took Wen Yin a long time to calm down his anger.
Wen Yin thought that she wouldn't have any more intersections with them.
But she didn't expect that someone would come to pick on her on their own initiative.
Wen Yin was at home when she received a call from her assistant. The assistant's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sister Wen Yin, come and take a look quickly! All the material suppliers who were originally in cooperation have all come to terminate the cooperation all of a sudden."
Wen Yin couldn't help but frown.
Terminate the cooperation?
Wen Yin's first reaction was that there must be something fishy about this.
How could it be such a coincidence? All the material suppliers would come to terminate the cooperation at the same time.
Moreover, the liquidated damages stipulated in their contracts were quite a large amount.
Unless someone was deliberately behind this, no fool would choose to do so.
"I'll go to the studio now."
Wen Yin's voice was cold and clear, giving a natural sense of reassurance.
"Call them now and ask for the reason. I'll be there soon."
Wen Yin picked up the car keys on the table and quickly went out.
