Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Utterly Disheartened
"Your brother-in-law?" Lian Tong thought of Si Yu, and couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly, asking, "The things you’re doing now, are they all taught by your brother-in-law?"
"Of course." Lian Qingyang said proudly, "My brother-in-law really has a sharp mind, and that Cen Yuanshan is excellent at martial arts."
Lian Qingyang admired Si Yu to the utmost.
Lian Tong felt a myriad of emotions, how did Si Yu accurately predict everyone’s reactions?
Lian Tong had a lot of things to deal with, and since she didn’t care about the time difference, she directly used the big cell phone to call Lian Qingqing, who was far away in Y Country, it wasn’t hard to get her number.
"Hello?" Lian Qingqing had just fallen asleep not long ago and was suddenly awoken, naturally feeling not so great.
Except for Xiang Yazhi, no one would call her from back home.
"Lian Qingqing." Lian Tong’s voice rang out, and Lian Qingqing immediately sat up from her bed, her beautiful brows furrowed, seemingly surprised.
"Aunt, calling me so early, is there something going on?" Lian Qingqing glanced at the dark sky outside, it should be morning back home.
Lian Tong had no intention of beating around the bush and directly stated yesterday’s incident, focusing on Shen Jing’s murderous silence, and Xiang Yazhi now being burned over fifty percent of her body, she also mentioned Xiang Yazhi wanting to talk to her.
Lian Tong poured out all the details in one go, then without giving Lian Qingqing time to process, she directly walked into the room and handed the big phone to Xiang Yazhi’s ear.
"Qingqing." Xiang Yazhi truly loved this daughter dearly, as soon as she spoke, tears she had long held back fell, her voice choked with emotion.
"Mom, how are you? I heard you got burned?" Lian Qingqing’s caring words came through from the other end of the line, still digesting what Lian Tong had told her.
"Yes, Qingqing, are you in Y Country?" Xiang Yazhi didn’t answer but questioned in return.
"Yes." Lian Qingqing responded, "I’ve just joined D Jewelry Company, I am now a jewelry designer for D Jewelry, work is very busy, Mom, I can’t come to see you."
Lian Qingqing’s words made Xiang Yazhi’s heart sink instantly, she asked, "Qingqing, today Mom almost couldn’t hear your voice or see you anymore."
"Mom, Aunt is right, for someone like Shen Jing, if you have evidence, you should be righteous and act against kin." Lian Qingqing felt a wave of resentment deep in her heart when she thought of the forced choices Shen Jing made her face back then, unlike other fathers who couldn’t wait to lay everything at their child’s feet.
But Shen Jing?
Lian Qingqing was no fool, even if she changed her surname to Shen and severed ties with the Xiang Family, Shen Jing would never give her what she wanted, so why bother to curry favor with Shen Jing?
Compared to Lian He, of course, Lian Qingqing was dissatisfied with this biological father.
If Shen Jing wanted to murder Xiang Yazhi to silence her, Lian Qingqing wouldn’t have any scruples.
"Mom, everyone makes mistakes, as long as you turn back from the wrong path." Lian Qingqing summarized her lengthy explanation with, "Mom, I’m waiting for your good news, Aunt will help you."
With that, Lian Qingqing hung up the phone first, during this time, she never asked after Grandma Xiang, nor did she inquire if Xiang Yazhi was in pain or if she had money.
’Beep... beep...’
The busy signal came through, Xiang Yazhi looked blankly at the phone.
"Tsk tsk, truly heartless." Lian Tong sneered, Lian Qingqing’s few words were crystal clear to her, it sounded like righteous action against kin, but put harshly, Lian Qingqing was cold-blooded and heartless.
Just as Si Yu predicted, encountering such a situation, Lian Qingqing simply brought up her newly started job, with no mention of returning home, only offering some comforting words. But in such a huge upheaval, is a daughter’s comfort all Xiang Yazhi needs?
Lian Tong glanced at Xiang Yazhi, seeing the light in her eyes completely extinguished, that look of despair seemed to indicate complete disheartenment.
*
Lian Family.
In the evening, Old Sir Lian, Lian He, Lian Qingyang, Lian Tong, and Gu Chun gathered together; with evidence from Xiang Yazhi, arson was inevitable, along with Shen Jing’s past misdeeds, various charges were pinned on him without an ounce of injustice, these pieces of evidence were slowly emerging and it was believed that soon, Shen Jing wouldn’t see the light of day again.
"Today is a good day." Old Sir Lian’s gaze swept over everyone before he said, "If only Xiao Yue and her husband were here, it would be perfect, but no matter, I hear Xiao Yue is about to give birth, then we can take a trip to Jing City, and our family will be reunited."
Old Sir Lian had been upset in the past few days over Lian Qingyang not being his own, but now was told he is his own flesh and blood, twins with Tang Yue, Old Sir Lian was instantly delighted.
"Dad, you also want to go to Jing City?" Lian He was a bit surprised.
"What, my granddaughter is about to give me another great-grandchild, and I’m not allowed to go see her?" Old Sir Lian glared at Lian He, "You hurry and clean up this mess, Xiao Yue’s childbirth is a big deal, you as a grandfather don’t want to go?"
"Of course I want to go." Lian He nodded without hesitation, wishing he could shift his career focus to Jing City, the last time he saw Tang Yue was months ago, from the photos Lian Qingyang brought back, Tang Yue’s belly was so big, naturally, Lian He was worried too.
"Dad, don’t worry, according to calculations, there’s still some time before Xiao Yue gives birth, in this period I and brother will work together, by then we will go to Jing City." Lian Tong also carried a sense of anticipation.
The whole family was happily together, Old Sir Lian specifically called Lian He into the study; during this period, the Lian Family indeed suffered a lot of loss, concerning the hotel and jewelry company matters, Old Sir Lian specially instructed Lian He to handle the matters properly before going to Jing City.
Lian Tong had already taken care of the house matters in Jing City earlier, so naturally there was no worry about accommodation over there.
With the serious topics discussed, Old Sir Lian said, "Paternity test, still needs to be done, not because we don’t believe Xiao Yue and the others, but to make a report, other branches already know Xiao Yang wasn’t born by blood, it’s only right to provide convincing evidence now."
"Dad, I don’t think it’s necessary." Lian He felt it was unnecessary, but Old Sir Lian was very firm, "This test report is the best explanation for them, and it’s also time to knock some sense into them, so they don’t have unrealistic expectations."
Though Old Sir Lian was getting up in years, he was far from senile.
The Lian Family had already given them more than enough, but anything else must belong to Lian Qingyang, only Lian Qingyang was his legitimate grandson!
