Nie Yunfan was stunned. He finally understood the real meaning behind his father’s words. If not for the fact that Nie Yunfan’s parents were the family heads of the Nie family and people-in-charge of Nie Group, and that Nie Xingzhi had to stay to help them support Nie Group, Nie Xingzhi would have
long left the company, the place where his heart had been broken. He would have gone off in search of a place where he belonged, or even found out about An Yue’s presence much earlier.
It was Nie Yunfan’s family… who had taken away Nie Xingzhi’s liberty! It was his family… who owed him!
“Uncle, I’m sorry. I never knew about alll this.”
If Nie Yunfan had learned of this earlier, he certainly would not have behaved so willfully, refused to work and went off going wherever he wanted, or worked and studied at his own pace and preference.
All the while, Nie Yunfan was aware that Nie Xingzhi adored him. However, he had never considered whether Nie Xingzhi actually had the obligation to dote on him and put up with all his outrageous behavior.
Nie Yunfan had never realized that, behind his willful behavior, there was actually someone who had been taking care of all his affairs, taking up all his responsibilities, and cleaning up his mess.
It was only at that moment that Nie Yunfan realized how childish and immature he had been!
Nie Xingzhi seemed to have seen through Nie Yunfan’s thoughts. The corners of his lips curled upwards. He stretched out his hand to stroke his nephew’s head and said with a smile, “Your parents are the only ones who supported Yue Ru and I. At that time, if it had not been for your father helping me to
turn down that woman’s marriage proposal despite the pressure the company placed on him about this matter, and if it had not been for your mother discreetly reminding me of what that woman had done to Yue Ru, I believe I would have long lost everything.”
“But, even if my mother has warned you, in the end, you still
Nie Xingzhi tumed his head around and gave a look at Nie Yunfan before he said with a smile, “You’re right. In the end, I still failed to make Yue Ru stay with me. However, it’s not your mother’s fault. In fact, I’ve reacted too slowly and failed to grasp the underlying meaning of her words. It was my
problem. Fortunately… Thankfully, God is kind to me. Although God has taken Yue Ru away from me, He is kind enough to spare our daughter. At the very least… I still have someone to care about for the rest of my life.”
When Nie Yunfan heard his words, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel once more. Nie Yunfan made the decision in his heart to tell his parents about his uncle and An Yue’s story. They would discuss the issue, and he would make sure his uncle could publicly reclaim An Yue as his
daughter as soon as possible.
Nie Yunfan felt miserable because of his uncle’s tearful past and discreetly made up his mind to help his uncle reunite with his newly-found cousin, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng, on the other hand, both felt unsettled.
“Tm really surprised to learn that Yue Yue is actually the daughter of Nie Yunfan’s uncle.” Zhao Youlin gave a look at her son in the back seat, who knew nothing and was in a deep slumber as she heaved a sigh and lamented, “Perhaps it’s like what they mentioned. Everything happens due to fate.”
At that time, many people had come to apply for the job. However, Zhao Youlin had only selected An Qi and An Yue. In the end, one of them not only became Zhao Youlin’s sister-in-law, but she was also connected to the famous Nie family’s second-in-command. She really had to marvel at the workings
of fate.
Mu Tingfeng reached out and took Zhao Youlin’s hand in his. He said calmly, “Speaking of which, they should thank you.”
“Huh?”
“If it hadn’t been for you seeing An Yue and An Qi’s talent and hiring them, they could not possibly have stayed in Shalnork, much less had these things happen to them. They would not have met your elder brother, and you wouldn’t have had a chance to discover the truth, allowing your elder brother to
reunite with your parents. If not for An Yue dating your elder brother, she could not possibly have met with the former master of the family, let alone contact the Nie family. Nie Xingzhi would not have been able to meet his daughter so smoothly either.”
Zhao Youlin did not know whether she should laugh or cry. “That’s not how cause and effect works.”
‘Mu Tingfeng raised one of his eyebrows and did not continue with the conversation. He was surprisingly resolute in his opinion.
Zhao Youlin shook her head in resignation and heaved a sigh of relief. “Perhaps some supernatural force is really making things come together, and it’s something that we don’t understand.”
“Regardless, what does it matter as long as the outcome turns out well?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She supported her chin with one of her hands as she looked outside the car window. A smile bloomed on her face. ‘Indeed, as long as the result turns out well, the reason behind it does not matter.’
‘An Yue’s incident had been out of everyone’s expectations. However, little did Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group know that there was another incident that was also beyond their expectations.
Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group had deliberately kept An Yue’s pregnancy a secret. They did this because they wanted to avoid others seeing An Yue as a threat due to her pregnancy and doing something out of the ordinary due to desperation.
However, Xu Huaining’s appearance had unexpectedly caused An Yue to be admitted to the hospital. As a result, Zhao Youming noticed something unusual about her. He had someone to investigate the reason An Yue was sent to the hospital and immediately discovered the shocking truth.
“Are you saying that the woman was admitted to the hospital because she was pregnant? Moreover, someone pushed her, and due to the shock, she suffered some complications for her pregnancy?” Zhao Youming clenched his hand around the mobile phone. He narrowed his eyes and abruptly rose from
his seat. “Are you sure this is real? Is that woman truly pregnant?”
“Yes. The woman is truly pregnant. Moreover, she is already three months pregnant.”
Zhao Youming shuddered. He immediately remembered seeing the woman at the main entrance of Zhao Enterprise that day. The woman had come to look for Zhao Youlin with Han Yichen. While they were in the middle of their conversation, the woman touched her belly with a smile of pure bliss
showing up on her face.
At that moment, he had not given it a second thought. But as he recalled the incident, he finally understood that when the woman touched her belly, it was not because she had overeaten; she was actually touching her baby!
Things were getting worse. He already found Han Yichen alone difficult to handle. With the addition of a great-grandchild for the Zhao family, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Zhao Youming.
‘When the person on the other line did not receive any response from Zhao Youming after some time, he could not help but call out to Zhao Youmning several times.
It was only then that Zhao Youming snapped out of his daze, and he quickly asked another question. “How about her child, then? Did she have a miscarriage?”
“No. I heard that she was just shocked, and they have discharged her from the hospital on the same day after some rest.”
Zhao Youming’s expression grew increasingly dark. “I got it. Can you get her hospitalization records and her examination report to me?”
‘When the person on the other end of the line heard his words, he sounded like he had been placed in a difficult position. “That might be a little difficult.”
Zhao Youming narrowed his eyes. “Money is not an issue. As long as you get the job done, I’ll make it worth your while.”
‘When the person on the other end of the line received his desired answer, he quickly responded like a lapdog. “Okay. I’ll look for my friends in the hospital right away. I’ll reply to you today.”
After he hung up, Zhao Youming subconsciously clenched his mobile phone. His gaze turned gloomy. The next moment, he looked like he remembered something. His eyes flashed. There was a trace of cunning in his eyes, and he also seemed to be taking delight in someone’s impending misfortune as.
well. Then, they became calm once more.
