"In fact, you are not 24 years old. You are only half a year younger than your sister. In order to make you a real child of the Qiao family, your age was changed to the outside world."

"I'm very sorry. I was shocked by your appearance. I only met Yan Lijia once. As for why you showed up, I still don't understand it."

"Yan Lijia showed up with you, took away 10 million, and then disappeared, so you, your mother, and Si Tian lived abroad as a child";

"Because of your sudden appearance, there was a lot of trouble at home. Mom even suffered from postpartum depression. The person who left you at the beach was not Si Tian, ​​but Mom. Your memory became distorted after the high fever, so I asked Si Tian to take the blame";

Qiao Jinyan's heart was hit hard by these words. No wonder Qiao Sitian's face was full of helplessness and sadness when he recalled that time. It turned out that he had misunderstood.

"My sister actually likes you very much, but if I treat you well, mom will be sad, and if I treat you badly, I am afraid that I will be sad. At that time, I was only concerned about maintaining the peace of this family and ignored my sister's growth";

"I ignored the fact that she was still a child and put too much pressure on her too early. I didn't even know when she got depression. This is what Yan Lijia sent me. Take a look."

After Qiao Jinyan took the photo, he immediately recognized that it was Qiao Sitian's hand. The other hand also looked like a girl's hand.

It reads: The man who picks up stars;

Qiao Haisheng continued, "I asked someone to investigate. Picking up stars is a mutual aid website for people with depression. The other person in the photo is Xiaotong. This photo is a certification photo of completing the mutual aid."

He had long known that Qiao Sitian had a tendency to depression and that she had self-destructive thoughts, but he had always thought that those were negative emotions caused by Zhang Lin;

Now it seems that all of Qiao Sitian’s misfortunes came from herself;

"Yan Lijia gave me this photo and gave you the paternity test report. Do you want to know what she gave to her sister?" Qiao Haisheng decided to give him the right to choose, because that was the cruelty he would have to face sooner or later.

Looking at the three envelopes on the coffee table, Qiao Jinyan probably thought of it;

As expected, she said, "Forty million in total. It seems that she is not asking for nothing else, but she is asking for too much. My biological mother is really good at calculating. This time, I am afraid she wants to squeeze out all my value at once."

The reason why he didn't believe a word of Yan Lijia's words was that from the time they met to the time they separated, he didn't feel the slightest bit of maternal love in Yan Lijia's eyes;

He understood that look too well. The look his mother gave Qiao Sitian was the real motherly love. What Yan Lijia showed was just the third-rate acting in a soap opera. How could she deceive others with tears that couldn't even move herself?

The concern in her eyes was not as much as Qiao Sitian's, so how could she incite him?

And maternal love, sorry, he is already past that age and doesn’t need it anymore!

Perhaps because he had been disappointed with maternal love, his need for this emotion had been self-consistent. All he wanted now was Qiao Sitian's care and attention.

"She couldn't have done it alone to plot against you. It doesn't look like she could have found this website. These three letters might have come from her. It also looks like she could have done it to me today. What we really need to deal with is the person who plotted against her back then."

“Do you have any suspicions?”;

"have";

"who?";

"Zhang Qidong"

Qiao Jinyan only felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. After he went over it in his mind, he suddenly had the answer;

He said in surprise: "Uncle?";

Qiao Haisheng nodded and said, "Yan Lijia's sudden appearance has alienated me from my mother, and living apart from her gives me more time to think about this matter."

"At that time, Yingtian had a project and urgently needed a huge amount of working capital. He wanted to borrow funds from the group, but the risk assessment data of his project was very poor. I felt that if he put the funds into use, Yingtian would be doomed, so I did not agree."

"He seemed to accept it calmly, but he turned around and looked for his mother. Yingtian was handed over to him by his mother, so after reading the project plan, she directly rejected it. His mother was always straightforward and pointed out many problems with the project directly."

"Zhang Qidong was very angry after hearing this. He always felt that his mother, as his elder sister, always looked down on him. He left in a rage and looked as if he would never see her again. But a few days later, he came back to apologize. He didn't mention anything about the project, but only said he would treat us to a meal."

"My mother was pregnant with my sister at that time and didn't want to go to that kind of occasion, so she didn't go with me. I don't have a very complete memory of that night. I just felt very uncomfortable. I thought it was a hangover and didn't take it seriously."

"Afterwards, Zhang Qidong never mentioned this matter again, and we maintained a peaceful relationship. We gradually let go of this episode until Yan Lijia showed up with you."

"I calculated it from my birth time. The only doubtful part of that whole year was the night when Zhang Qidong invited me to dinner."

“But after a year, there is no evidence left”;

"Jinyan, if Zhang Qidong was really behind what happened back then, you must not let mom know about it";

Qiao Jinyan certainly understood the interests involved, nodded and said, "I know";

"Then everything makes sense. I guess my uncle persuaded her to do this and gave her money. Add the 10 million from you and the 30 million from my sister, and she still can't be satisfied. Could it be that she really thinks she can use me to get more?"

Qiao Jinyan's eyes gradually became cold. Being stabbed by a loved one is always extra painful because you are completely defenseless!

"Her clueless tricks are not like my uncle's style. Let me handle this matter. You should find a chance to test my uncle's side."

Qiao Haisheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If he behaves himself, the matter will end here. If he still participates in the follow-up, it is time to let your mother return to her original position";

Qiao Jinyan agreed: "Let's solve it as soon as possible without further delay";

Qiao Haisheng was very satisfied with Qiao Jinyan. He was calm and composed in the face of change, and was able to handle it with ease, looking like a potential successor.

"You seem to be in a hurry, what's going on? Do you have something to plan later?";

"I have applied for annual leave in the middle of next month and hope to resolve these issues before the annual leave";

Qiao Jinyan's frankness made Qiao Haisheng curious: "Why, what arrangements do you have? Can you tell me?"

Qiao Jinyan deliberately said in embarrassment: "The eldest lady just asked about the promise to teach her how to ride a bicycle. When will it be fulfilled?"

Qiao Haisheng smiled and said: "Since you are so embarrassed, let Dad do this for you. Dad's bicycle skills are still very good."

Perhaps it was the atmosphere that made Qiao Jinyan's expression gradually become serious, and he said seriously: "Dad, that was a misunderstanding. I never thought of hurting her, because I always remember that she would always come to accompany me in the middle of the night when it was thundering and raining."

"She is also a child, but because she is the older sister, she always wants to take on more responsibilities";

"I know she has been secretly celebrating my birthday and preparing gifts for me, but I know my mother will be unhappy, so I stay away from her and isolate our relationship with a cold shell. I did a good job, but when I found that she had symptoms of depression, I realized that I was wrong."

"Dad, I don't want anything except my family. From now on, don't let my sister be caught in the middle anymore";
