Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Intention
Lian Qingyang’s words were pronounced clearly, one by one, and Xiang Yazhi could understand every single word. Yet when pieced together, they left Xiang Yazhi confused.
Xiang Yazhi stared blankly at Lian Qingyang and murmured, "Impossible, that woman only gave birth to a daughter. How could she possibly have had a son as well? How could they be twins?"
"You’re deceiving me."
Xiang Yazhi’s expression suddenly turned agitated. She grabbed Lian Qingyang’s clothes tightly and asked in disbelief, "Lian Qingyang, explain it clearly, what is going on?"
Xiang Yazhi was extremely agitated, her hands even trembling from the excitement, and her voice quivered as she spoke. The shock in her eyes seemed as if she had just heard the most impossible thing in the world.
"I am the son of Lian He and Zhang Hualian, and I am a twin with Tang Yue," Lian Qingyang said, word by word.
"Impossible."
Xiang Yazhi pushed Lian Qingyang away with disbelief, denying, "Impossible, you’re just a village boy. How could you possibly be their child!"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Xiang Yazhi refused to accept this truth.
If it were true, wouldn’t that mean she had been raising her rival’s son for over twenty years?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Besides, no one ever mentioned that Zhang Hualian had two children, and Lian Qingyang is half a year older than Tang Yue.
"You and Tang Yue are half a year apart. How can you be twins? This is the biggest joke of all." Xiang Yazhi shook her head, retreating until she sat on the sofa.
"Even if you don’t believe it, it’s the truth. My mother and I did a paternity test, and I am indeed her son." Lian Qingyang stepped forward slowly, his tall figure overshadowing Xiang Yazhi, casting a shadow over her as he said, "I am curious, who exactly stole me and gave me to you, yet never told you about my identity?"
Shen Jing.
Initially, Lian Qingyang was brought back by Shen Jing, who informed her that he was just a child from a remote mountain village.
"Xiang Yazhi, you were used. Don’t you want revenge?" Lian Qingyang crouched down in front of Xiang Yazhi, looking her straight in the eye.
Lian Qingyang’s gaze was sincere and garnered a sense of closeness. He said, "Although I left my biological mother when I was young, at least I was raised under my biological father’s name. But you are different. Now, divorced, with Lian Qingqing abroad, that daughter is as good as gone, and your other daughter doesn’t want to acknowledge you. The Xiang Family has fallen, and Xiang Yawen ran off with all the money, leaving you behind."
"Oh, and your grandmother lives with you, right?" Lian Qingyang said enticingly, "You were the eldest daughter of the Xiang Family, the lady of the Lian Family, enjoying a glorious time. Don’t you want revenge? Do you want to spend your life following a man like that just now?"
"Your grandmother was once so glorious. Now that she’s old, she’s cooped up in such a small house. Don’t you want revenge, don’t you hate the person who made you lose everything?"
Lian Qingyang’s voice was tempting, and from initial disbelief, Xiang Yazhi slowly followed his words. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, I am not willing."
When Shen Jing used her, he was ever so compliant and good, but when she was no longer of use, he just kicked her out. And now, he hides in this small house.
She is not willing to accept this.
Xiang Yazhi quietly clenched her hand.
Suddenly, Lian Qingyang heard noises from outside, and he quickly said, "Xiang Yazhi, there’s only one chance."
Xiang Yazhi sat on the sofa, dumbfounded, with her mind in chaos. Everything she had done over these years was because of Shen Jing. Shen Jing achieved his goals, made Lian He suffer, and even Lian Family’s business suffered a great blow because of him. And what about her?
Kicked out of the Lian Family, the Xiang Family declined, and Shen Jing did not offer any help at all.
"Lian Qingyang, you’re here too?" Shen Jing, dressed in a silver-grey suit, appeared exceptionally noble. Even though he was middle-aged, his face remained handsome, exuding the mature charm of a middle-aged man.
With such a radiant appearance and wearing a handmade suit, Shen Jing seemed out of place in this small room.
Xiang Yazhi looked up at him. This was the man she had loved all her life, but now, looking at his face, she felt that something was amiss. From the moment he caused Father Xiang’s death and ruthlessly kicked her out, Shen Jing seemed lofty and unreachable.
"Shen Jing, I didn’t expect you to come see her." Lian Qingyang raised his eyebrows, addressing him by name. He smirked sarcastically and said, "What, are you worried she might reveal some secrets she shouldn’t?"
"Really? Are there any secrets that can’t be said?"
Shen Jing didn’t blink as he looked at Lian Qingyang, a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, with a hint of chill, making Lian Qingyang feel a shiver down his spine, even in the June heat.
The temperature in the living room seemed to drop instantly. Lian Qingyang looked at Shen Jing warily, unsure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as though Shen Jing’s gaze could kill him.
"Of course." Lian Qingyang took an unnoticeable step to the side. Shen Jing stood at the entrance, while behind Lian Qingyang, another room with windows could be seen.
Xiang Yazhi was sitting on the sofa in the corner, glaring at Shen Jing. Suddenly, she stood up frantically and questioned Shen Jing, "Shen Jing, tell me, who did you get Lian Qingyang from? Whose son is he after all?"
Xiang Yazhi rushed in front of Shen Jing, grabbing his suit tightly with both hands.
"He is the son of Zhang Hualian and Lian He," Shen Jing answered, one word at a time.
Xiang Yazhi’s face turned pale as paper instantly. She staggered back a step and looked at Shen Jing in disbelief, "Why, why did you raise her son as mine?"
"You clearly said he was a village boy. Why has he become the son of Zhang Hualian?" Xiang Yazhi felt like her whole world had collapsed.
"Shen Jing, Xiang Yazhi, in this lifetime, bore you two daughters, sacrificed everything for you, lost her family, yet you have not an ounce of compassion for her. Are you even human?" Lian Qingyang’s words seemed to defend Xiang Yazhi, but upon closer examination, they were designed to stir up the anger buried in Xiang Yazhi’s heart.
"I, I want to fight you to the death." Xiang Yazhi suddenly rushed at Shen Jing, appearing as if she wanted to perish alongside him, a mad and pitiful sight.
Lian Qingyang turned his head away, taking a deep breath. If Xiang Yazhi hadn’t loved Shen Jing in her heart, while also valuing the power of the Lian Family, craving more than just daughters, and taking someone else’s son, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation today.
