Qiao Yun Long smiled at Yan Xi and then turned to leave.
But after Qiao Yun Long left, Yan Xi could no longer calm down.
Yao Wan Qi was currently delirious, and Yan Xi couldn't get any sense out of her.
As for Mr. Yao, he remained tight-lipped about Yan Xi's father.
This made Yan Xi even more curious. Who was her father, and what heinous deeds had he committed?
Why was everyone unwilling to tell her?
Now that finally, someone said they knew who her father was, Yan Xi couldn't control her excitement.
She hurried after him.
Yan Xi's body had not yet recovered, and she ran out barefoot. It was early autumn, and there was already a hint of coolness outside.
However, Yan Xi didn't care.
Catching up with Qiao Yun Long, Yan Xi, with a heart full of anxiety, said, "Mr. Qiao, please wait. You said you know who my father is, could you tell me."
Qiao Yun Long observed Yan Xi. After careful consideration, Qiao Yun Long finally spoke, "Your biological father is actually He Xue Feng. You and He Yun are brother and sister."
Yan Xi's mind went blank.
Before, when Yan Xi was at the He family's house, she always heard He Xue Feng calling for Wan Qi.
Yan Xi didn't know who Wan Qi was.
Nor did she understand why the He family forbade anyone from mentioning the name of this woman called Wan Qi.
Later, Yan Xi went to the capital and met Yao Wan Qi. She seemed to understand who the woman He Xue Feng was referring to.
Then later, Yan Xi knew she was Yao Wan Qi's daughter, but Yan Xi had never dared to think that her biological father was He Xue Feng.
Didn't Mr. Yao say that her biological father was a poor boy?
Although Yan Cheng was not as prosperous as the capital, the He family was one of the foremost wealthy families in Yan Cheng.
Yan Xi couldn't understand why Mr. Yao would say her father was a poor boy.
He even thought that a poor boy was not worthy of Yao Wan Qi and forcibly broke them apart.
This led to Yao Wan Qi being delirious and He Xue Feng being mentally unstable.
What exactly happened back then? What was going on?
Yan Xi fell into deep thought.
Yan Xi always felt that they were hiding something from her.
And if Yan Xi wanted to unravel the mystery, she had to go back to the Yao family.
Qiao Yun Long had initially not wanted to tell Yan Xi this news, but he couldn't resist Yan Xi's persistent questioning.
Qiao Yun Long also believed it was good for Yan Xi to know the truth. At least, she would no longer set her sights on He Yun, and He Yun would no longer insist on divorcing Qiao Wei.
But Qiao Yun Long didn't expect that what he said to Yan Xi was overheard by Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei returned to the He family's house.
He Yun was just about to leave for the company. Seeing Qiao Wei, He Yun stopped and looked at her, asking, "Why are you back? Have you thought it through and are ready to sign the divorce papers?"
"He Yun, do you have to be so cruel to me? Do you really have to divorce me?"
Faced with Qiao Wei's aggressive questioning, He Yun was unfazed.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at Qiao Wei. Divorce was a release, and he didn't think he was being aggressive.
Even without Yan Xi, his marriage to Qiao Wei had reached its end.
He Yun had given himself three years to come to terms with Qiao Wei.
During these three years, he had tried his best, attempting to forget Yan Xi and fall in love with Qiao Wei. But in the end, He Yun found that he couldn't.
Facing He Yun's attitude, Qiao Wei clenched her fists tightly.
Originally, Qiao Wei didn't intend to tell He Yun such a cruel truth, but since He Yun was determined to divorce Qiao Wei, then don't blame her.
Qiao Wei's hands were tightly clenched into fists. She took a deep breath, then walked up to He Yun, hooking her arms around his.
Qiao Wei pleaded with a humble tone, "Husband, can we go back to how we were before? Can we not divorce? I can go and find Yan Xi, I can apologize to her. Whatever you want me to do, I will do. I won't make you angry anymore. Please, don't divorce me."
Qiao Wei loved He Yun so much.
Without He Yun, Qiao Wei would not be able to live.
He Yun, with his other hand, slowly pried Qiao Wei's hands away.
He looked at Qiao Wei, rational and resolute, and said word by word, "Qiao Wei, I'm sorry. I tried my best to fall in love with you, but I found that I really can't. It's not that you're not good enough, it's just that I'm not fortunate enough to be able to love you."
"Heh."
Qiao Wei suddenly laughed upon hearing He Yun's words.
He Yun's words were so high-sounding, merely a cover for his despicable behavior.
It was a pity, he and Yan Xi could never be together.
It truly was a testament to the saying that all lovers in the world are siblings.
She wanted to see if He Yun would break down after knowing the truth.
Qiao Wei didn't want to say it initially. Qiao Wei had already given He Yun a chance, and He Yun himself hadn't seized it. Since that was the case, then don't blame her.
"He Yun, you love Yan Xi so much, but you can't be together. Tell me, aren't you the most pathetic and pitiable person in the world?"
He Yun didn't need Qiao Wei to tell him that he and Yan Xi could not be together.
Regardless of whether Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi were divorced, Yan Xi had given birth to a child for Fu Yan Ting, and there could never be a complete severance between them.
And He Yun could only stand by Yan Xi's side as a friend, silently protecting her.
He Yun could give Yan Xi everything, except himself.
But hearing these words spoken so directly by Qiao Wei, He Yun lost face and was very angry.
He looked at Qiao Wei coldly. Any guilt he had felt about the divorce earlier had now vanished.
He Yun grabbed Qiao Wei's neck. In that instant, He Yun wished he could strangle her to death.
The moment He Yun moved to choke Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei felt despair.
She was not afraid. If she were to divorce He Yun, her life would be worse than death. Rather than harming herself, she would rather have He Yun kill her himself. That way, she and He Yun would never have an end.
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "He Yun, you don't know yet, do you? You and Yan Xi can never be together in this lifetime."
"Shut up," He Yun said, almost grinding his teeth.
But Qiao Wei refused to shut up.
The angrier He Yun became, the more it proved that He Yun cared about Yan Xi. The more He Yun cared about Yan Xi, the happier Qiao Wei became, because they could never be together.
"He Yun, you want me to shut up, but I won't. I want to say it. I want to make your heart ache and make you disgusted for the rest of your life."
"Qiao Wei, I warn you, if you dare say another word, I'll strangle you."
"I want to say it. He Yun, you don't know yet, do you? Yan Xi is your biological sister."
