The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

The smile on Qin Lan's face froze instantly, as if it was frozen rapidly. The corners of her mouth that were originally curved seemed to be pulled down by an invisible big hand, and drooped there. The doubts in her eyes surged out like a tide. She asked anxiously: "It's not yours? Whose is it? Second brother, don't beat around the bush with mom, just tell me what's going on?"

Xiao Yiyang took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling, as if he was gathering the courage to tell the truth. Finally, he slowly said, "It's from my eldest brother."

"Boss?" Qin Lan and Xiao Zhengchun exclaimed in unison, as if struck by a strong lightning bolt. Their faces were instantly filled with disbelief. Qin Lan's eyes widened, and her eyeballs seemed to be about to pop out of her eye sockets; Xiao Zhengchun frowned, and the deep wrinkles on his face instantly formed a clear "Chuan" character, as if engraved with the vicissitudes of life and the extreme worry in his heart at the moment.

Xiao Yiyang nodded solemnly and continued, "Some time ago, Big Brother accidentally met his first love. That woman brought a six-year-old girl with her. When Big Brother saw the child for the first time, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the child's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own. Later, Big Brother went through a difficult investigation, ran around, asked for help from many connections, and confirmed repeatedly, and finally confirmed that the little girl was Big Brother's biological daughter."

Qin Lan subconsciously covered her mouth when she heard this. Tears welled up in her eyes, which instantly turned red. Her voice became trembling, like a candle swaying in the wind: "This...how could this happen? How come the boss never mentioned this to us in all these years? How could he hide such a big thing from us?"

Xiao Zhengchun was silent for a moment, his frown never relaxed, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to deepen, like ravines, engraved with the vicissitudes of life and the heaviness of his heart at the moment. After thinking for a long time, he said: "You know the character of the eldest brother. He has always been steady and considerate. Maybe he has his own concerns and unspeakable difficulties. Maybe he is worried that we can't accept it, or maybe he is afraid of affecting the harmony of the family."

Xiao Yiyang pursed his lips and continued, "My eldest brother is really confused now. He has no idea how to deal with this sudden situation. He is worried that this sudden appearance of a child will disrupt our peaceful life. He also doesn't know if you can accept this granddaughter who came out of nowhere. So, let me talk to you first and test your opinion."

Qin Lan was so excited that her voice rose a few decibels, and she said loudly: "This is the bloodline of our Xiao family, she is our granddaughter, how could I not accept it? The boss is really confused, how could he hide such a big thing from us? What does he think of us?" As she spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably down her wrinkled cheeks like a flood that broke through the dam, and fell drop by drop to the ground, as if hitting everyone's heart.

Xiao Zhengchun quickly reached out and gently patted Qin Lan's hand. His palm was large and warm, and his eyes were soothing. He motioned her to calm down first, then looked at Xiao Yiyang, his tone slightly softened, and asked, "Second brother, how is the child now? Is he living well?"

Xiao Yiyang replied, "The child is very well-behaved and sensible, especially lovable. He looks like a little angel. He is going to primary school soon. My eldest brother has put a lot of thought into the child's education. He found the best private primary school for him in Mocheng and bought a house near the school to create a good learning and living environment for the child. The child's mother is Qiao Chu, and she also lives in Mocheng. At present, my eldest brother has a beautiful girl in his mansion." Xiao Yiyang spoke vividly and excitedly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The old couple Xiao Zhengchun were stunned when they heard this. They tried hard to piece together the appearance of this granddaughter and daughter-in-law whom they had never met.

Qin Lan said distressedly: "Poor child, he has to go through so many twists and turns at such a young age. What was the eldest brother thinking? Why did he do so many things secretly and hide them from us two old guys." As she spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and the handkerchief soon became wet.

Xiao Yiyang sighed and said helplessly, "My eldest brother is very confused. On the one hand, he feels that he owes too much to the child and wants to do his best to make up for the lack of fatherly love over the years. On the other hand, he is worried that the appearance of the child will cause conflicts and troubles in the family. After all, this matter came too suddenly. He is also afraid that you will not be able to accept it, that you will be angry, and that the family will no longer be peaceful."

Xiao Zhengchun stood up and paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back. The footsteps sounded particularly heavy in the quiet living room. Every step seemed to be filled with heavy thoughts, as if every step was stepping on the hearts of the whole family. He stopped and said firmly: "What's the trouble? This is our Xiao family's granddaughter, our flesh and blood. We must take her back, take good care of her, give her a warm home, and let her know that everyone in our Xiao family loves her."

Xiao Yiyang nodded and said, "I think so too, so I'll discuss with you first to see how to deal with this matter more appropriately. After all, this matter is too sudden, we have to consider it carefully and not hurt the child and Qiao Chu's feelings."

Qin Lan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes revealing determination: "Second brother, go and call the eldest brother back, let's have a good discussion as a family. No, no, no, that woman named Qiao Chu, my daughter-in-law, where does she live? Take me and your father there quickly. This eldest brother, who usually looks very stable, how come he becomes confused at the critical moment! "

Xiao Yiyang responded, secretly laughing in his heart. Xiao Zhengchun and Qin Lan were seen changing their clothes in a hurry. Qin Lan even took out a large envelope from the drawer. Judging from the thickness, it should contain a lot of cash. She kept muttering, "It's the first time I meet my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, I can't go empty-handed."

Xiao Yiyang couldn't help but grinning to his ears, and he didn't forget to send a WeChat message to Leng Ruofei, asking her to quickly pick up Chenchen from the kindergarten and take them to Qiao Chu's house to watch the show, saying that Ms. Qin Lan would be "coming over" soon.

At this time, Xiao Yiyang was thinking about how this family farce would play out. Xiao Zhengchun and Qin Lan were preparing to welcome the new member of the family with mixed feelings. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but they all had a firm belief in their hearts, which was to give the child and Qiao Chu a warm home.

Qiao Chu was sitting quietly on the sofa, concentrating on the picture book in her hand. The sunlight shone on her through the window, outlining a peaceful picture. Suddenly, a quick and loud doorbell rang, breaking the silence. She was startled by the sudden sound and trembled slightly, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

She hesitated a little, and a little doubt rose in her heart, wondering who would come to visit at this time. When she got closer to the cat's eye and saw Xiao Yiyang, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, when her eyes moved to the two older unfamiliar faces behind Xiao Yiyang, especially after seeing Xiao Zhengchun's appearance clearly, she instantly understood who the visitor was.

At that moment, her heart suddenly tightened, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. Her breathing became rapid, and she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands. After being stunned for several seconds, she seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly opened the door, forcing an unnatural smile on her face, trying to make her voice sound steady: "Uncle, aunt, please come in."

As soon as Xiao Zhengchun walked into the house, he looked around the living room calmly. There were warm family photos hanging on the white walls, a few cute pillows on the soft sofa, and the floor was spotless. The neat layout and warm decorations made everything look in order. He nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied. It seemed that the eldest son did not treat his daughter-in-law and granddaughter badly in terms of material things. He was quite responsible and a man.

Qiao Chu rubbed her hands nervously, her hands trembling slightly because of nervousness, and her fingers rubbed against each other. She quickly asked her parents-in-law to sit down and said, "Uncle, aunt, how did you find time to come? Yiyang, you sit down first, I'll go make tea." As she said that, she hurried into the kitchen, her heart beating like a drum, and every step was like stepping on cotton, empty and flustered.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she quickly took out her phone. Her fingers were a little out of control due to nervousness, and she almost failed to unlock the screen. The moment the call was connected, her voice was obviously flustered and helpless: "Hello? Yi Chen, your parents are home. Yi Yang brought them here, right..."

Xiao Yichen on the other end of the phone had just finished a specialist consultation and dragged his somewhat exhausted body back to the office. As soon as he sat down, he saw Qiao Chu's call. His originally relaxed and teasing voice suddenly became anxious: "What? Don't worry, wait for me, I'll be home soon." After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone, and the veins on his forehead were faintly throbbing. Then he called Xiao Yiyang again.

Here, Xiao Yiyang almost laughed out loud when he saw the call from his eldest brother. He was secretly proud of himself, thinking that his eldest sister-in-law had gone to ask for help.

"Hello? Big brother? Yes, there is nothing I can do. You know Ms. Qin Lan's temper. She insisted on coming to see Big Sister-in-law and Chenchen, and I couldn't stop her...Okay, it's okay. I'm here. Fei'er will pick up Chenchen and come over later. Don't worry, just come back after get off work. Let's have a good meal as a family. I've booked a restaurant..."
