Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 835: Chapter 835: I’m Not Even Their Biological Child

Lian Qingyang held the clothes, his lips pressed into a straight line, his bright and clear eyes showing not the slightest emotion.

He had a kind heart, no doubt, but sometimes he was single-minded, once he set his mind on something, not even ten oxen could pull him back. Knowing that Lian Qingqing had harmed his aunt and her unborn child, Lian Qingyang felt no sibling affection for Lian Qingqing, let alone that Lian Qingqing wasn’t really part of the Lian Family to begin with.

"Qingyang, my father kicked me out, and Ziyue canceled the engagement. I’m just a homeless person now, I..." Lian Qingqing choked and cried, looking so pitiful that passersby couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sadness.

Lian Qingyang’s expression showed not a trace of emotion. He said coldly, "The house, money, and jewelry that Dad gave you, none of that has been taken back. Each of those things is enough for you to live out a comfortable second half of your life."

Lian Qingqing’s expression stiffened.

Lian Qingyang turned with the clothes in his arms and entered the company, leaving Lian Qingqing with only a cold back view.

Jin Yan couldn’t stand people like Lian Qingqing. Did she really think that having a pretty face was enough to act pitiful?

She even harmed her own aunt; her heart was as black as coal.

Jin Yan cast her a glance and followed Lian Qingyang into the company, trailing him to the third floor where she watched him unwrap the package like it was a treasure. Only after seeing that the clothes were intact did he let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey, clothes aren’t made of glass or porcelain, they’re not that fragile," Jin Yan couldn’t help but say. She made the clothes herself and knew they were stitched well. How could they be damaged by a simple toss?

"The clothes my sister made for me are more precious than jade," Lian Qingyang said happily as he looked at the clothes. Ever since he acknowledged Sister Xiao Yue, all his clothing from inside out came from her. He couldn’t even remember the last time he bought new clothes.

"Well, I made them," Jin Yan said.

Lian Qingyang glared at her, saying, "Sister Xiao Yue designed them for me. Even if you made them, they’re still an expression of my sister’s intentions."

"By the way, how’s Sister Xiao Yue doing lately?" Lian Qingyang asked anxiously. Knowing that he wasn’t biologically related, Lian Qingyang’s face wasn’t as thick anymore, often using busyness as an excuse, he hadn’t visited Tang Yue for nearly a month.

"She’s fine, but being pregnant is hard. I’ve noticed she seldom goes out these days," Jin Yan replied truthfully. When she mentioned the swelling in her legs, Lian Qingyang became even more worried, asking, "Has she seen a doctor? Why would pregnancy cause swollen legs?"

"The doctor said it’s normal, all pregnant women experience swelling, especially with twins. If you’re so worried about her, why don’t you visit her?" Jin Yan asked.

Before she left, Tang Yue specifically instructed Jin Yan to check on how Lian Qingyang was doing, especially his condition, to see if anything was wrong.

Jin Yan greatly admired Tang Yue, so whatever Tang Yue asked, Jin Yan would do.

She glanced around the room. It was messy, but not the dirty mess she’d expected, like a garbage pile.

On the single sofa, there were clothes he usually wore, but the bed was made.

"I..." Lian Qingyang let out a long sigh.

Jin Yan looked at Lian Qingyang with curiosity.

But Lian Qingyang didn’t utter a word for quite a while.

"What kind of grown man stutters like that?" Jin Yan had a gentle classical face, but her temperament was completely different; she was straightforward, candid, calling things as they are, with clear distinctions between love and hate.

She did things decisively and never had moments of indecisiveness like Lian Qingyang.

"Hey." Lian Qingyang looked at Jin Yan, unsure of her name.

"I’m Jin Yan, not ’hey’," Jin Yan interrupted.

Lian Qingyang followed, "Jin Yan, please don’t tell Sister Xiao Yue about what just happened."

"Why not?" Jin Yan’s expression was strange. What was it about the recent event that couldn’t be mentioned?

"I’m afraid it’ll worry her," Lian Qingyang explained, his earlier joy seemed to have dulled, saying, "You don’t understand."

"Stop pretending to be deep, what’s there not to understand? That woman earlier was your sister Lian Qingqing, but not your biological sister, right? Besides, Lian Qingqing harmed her own aunt; such a woman shouldn’t be acknowledged." Jin Yan said irritably.

"Do you think blood relations matter?" Lian Qingyang’s eyes flashed, and suddenly he asked, seeing Jin Yan’s righteous indignation.

"They don’t matter," Jin Yan replied bluntly.

Lian Qingyang was a bit surprised.

Thinking about Sister Xiao Yue’s instructions before leaving, she said, "Blood relations mean nothing, truly close family isn’t maintained by mere blood ties."

"In ancient royal families, didn’t they rely on bloodlines? But in the face of real interests, who cares about blood relations?" Jin Yan said, seeing that Lian Qingyang cared about this issue, "Whether there’s a blood relation, whether someone is biologically someone’s child, doesn’t really matter. I’m not my parents’ biological child, yet my grandpa treats me like his own granddaughter, and my parents are closer to me than any biological ones."

"Besides, it’s just about your background. What’s the big deal? Just because we don’t share blood, does that mean I shouldn’t fulfill my filial duties towards the parents and grandparents who raised me?" Jin Yan countered.

"Of course not," Lian Qingyang denied.

"Exactly. Regardless of blood ties, in my heart, they are my true family, and those who share my blood are like strangers to me."

"Also, Sister Xiao Yue’s current father isn’t her biological dad either, but he does things for her that many biological fathers wouldn’t do." Jin Yan had a lot of respect for Tang Zhengde.

Whether someone truly cares can be seen in their interactions.

As Tang Yue’s assistant, Jin Yan often visited her place, and from frequent interactions with Tang Zhengde, she felt more and more that Tang Zhengde treated Tang Yue very well.

"My dad treats Sister Xiao Yue well too, it’s just that Sister Xiao Yue didn’t give my dad the chance," Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but retort.

Jin Yan shrugged, not saying anything.

Lian Qingyang studied Jin Yan, asking, "You’re not your parents’ biological child?"

"I didn’t mean anything by it," Lian Qingyang added.

"It’s fine, I’ve known since childhood that I’m not their biological child, they found me, but they’ve always raised me as their own daughter. In my heart, my parents are the closest people to me. Even without blood ties, I will honor them throughout my life and take care of them till the end," Jin Yan said, smiling with her lips pressed, revealing her bright white teeth, her smile was very sweet.
