Chapter 888: Chapter 887: Unveiling His Background

Xiaren Qiao said a lot, and almost every word seemed to hammer into Yeqian’s heart.

After weathering this storm, he felt like he’d suddenly grown up.

A slight sourness in his nose, a bright, sunny smile spread across his face once more.

"I’ve always been mature, okay?" Yeqian pretended to roll his eyes, "My avoidance these past days indeed gave some people the chance to badmouth me. I need to stand back up and deliver them a fatal blow."

A look of determination appeared on his face, showing signs of growth.

Xiaren was absolutely right; showing weakness would only please those who sought to bring him down.

"That’s really good." Xiaren suddenly stopped in her tracks, the wind blowing the hair from her forehead. She shouted towards the sea, "Yeqian—, be your true self, and let all the filth go to hell!"

The echo of her words kept floating in the air, stirring a fierce passion within Yeqian’s heart. A mix of indescribable emotions—emotion, joy, and a touch of sourness—all welled up at once.

Let them all go!

Just be yourself—who cares about them!

Yeqian suddenly stretched out his hands to form a megaphone and shouted together with Xiaren. In the vast open space, the voices of two young people echoed, sounding almost like a declaration of war.

Chu Yifei stood nearby holding an umbrella. The midday sun at the beach was particularly harsh. He walked forward and held the umbrella over their heads.

"Yeqian, listen to me, I have something very important to tell you."

"What?"

"You’ve always wanted to know about your origin, to know who your parents are, right? I can tell you now." Xiaren looked into his eyes, but noticed he was dodging her gaze, "Sis, you don’t have to say it, I know it all."

"You don’t know!"

Yeqian indeed believed others and truly thought his parents were the scum of an affair.

"Yeqian, listen well, your father is Qiao Lin, and you are the grandson of the Qiao Family. Your birth was totally legitimate, your father didn’t abandon you, he just never knew of your existence, that’s all."

Xiaren’s words shocked not only Yeqian but also Chu Yifei.

Yeqian didn’t know what to feel; it seemed like a dream. His first reaction was disbelief. His father, how could he possibly be Qiao Lin...

And his sister also said that his father hadn’t abandoned him, just that he wasn’t aware of his existence.

Yeqian suddenly felt confused. His brain couldn’t keep up with the rapid and intense change, it was a complete mess.

"I know it might take you a while to accept this," Xiaren softened her tone, "It’s okay, you can slowly come to terms with this fact."

"Are you talking about the Qiao family of the four great families?" Chu Yifei sounded a bit puzzled, "As far as I know, the eldest son of the Qiao family, Qiao Lin, seems to have married the daughter of the Bai Family. Although the couple doesn’t have any children, but..."

Could the rumors of an affair during the marriage, resulting in Yeqian, be true?

"This matter is a bit complicated," Xiaren explained, "But one thing I can assure you, it absolutely was not an affair within the marriage."

Although Xiaren understood the cause and effect of the situation, it was difficult to explain clearly at the moment. This news couldn’t be made public yet, since Qiao Lin and Nie Lin both presently had their own families. If some malicious online marketers and media took the opportunity to stir up trouble among the haters, the situation could get even worse.

Yeqian seemed quite calm, only asking Xiaren one question: "Who is my mother?"
