Jiang Youyi was so angry that her lips trembled. Just as she was about to say something, Tong Yanyu suddenly asked in a crisp voice, "Mom, what do you mean by changing our surname? Why are Grandpa, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dad so angry? Is it because I did something wrong? "
Xinwan's heart tightened slightly. She hurriedly reached out to cover her son's face, shook her head, and said softly, "No, Xiao Yu, this is an adult's problem. It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it."
"But I —"
"No buts."
She interrupted her son. She knew that it would be inappropriate for her son to continue listening in on such a situation. After thinking about it, she said to Wen Han-woo, "I want to send Xiao Yu and my sister back first."
On the other side, the Wen family members also prioritized Little Yu. Now that Xinwan had said so, everyone kept quiet and didn't talk about this sensitive topic anymore.
Unexpectedly, Han Eemo, that blockhead, suddenly stood up and said, "I'm bringing Xiao Yu back to Family Wen! Who knows what your Family Jiang people are thinking? Xiao Yu has been staying there for a while now. Now even my son's mind has been twisted! We can't let Xiao Yu stay with you anymore. Also, isn't Jiang Qiya an idiot? Xiao Yu is only five years old now. If he stays with that idiot Jiang Qiya, what will my grandson become in the future? "
Xinwan had not expected Han Eemo to say such things. She was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to say something, the originally tightly shut door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Steady footsteps were heard, followed by a man's voice that everyone in the room, except for Wen Yuehua and Wen Han-woo, didn't recognize —
"You're arguing endlessly over the surname Tong or Wen. Are you sure this child should choose one of the two surnames? But why do I feel that he should have chosen a different surname? "
Li Xiuqian placed his hands behind his back and walked over confidently. He was calm, and there was an aura about him that others could not control. There was a faint smile on his face. Even though it did not reach his eyes, when his gaze fell on Tong Yanyu, it suddenly became soft.
Xiao Yu had seen this grandfather before, so he naturally opened his mouth and shouted, "Mom, this is Grandpa. Grandpa, why are you here?"
The greeting of 'Grandfather' caused the Family members' expressions to change abruptly, especially Shen Lingxiu. She stood up shakily from her seat, her lips trembling. Her aged face was paler than a painted wall, the last trace of blood drained from her lips.
"Xiao Yu, don't address people as you please." Han Eemo waved at her grandson.
However, Tong Yanyu didn't like Han Eemo in the first place. At a time like this, he was even more unwilling to listen to her. He only glanced at his parents, who didn't look too happy either, and immediately shut his mouth.
Li Xiuqian merely smiled and didn't say much. However, there wasn't a single Family member present who didn't recognize him.
But why would a man who had disappeared for thirty years suddenly appear now?
Han Eemo had always been an impatient person. At this moment, she grabbed Wen Yuehua's hand nervously, even her eyes were trembling. Wen Haoxuan wasn't any better. He pursed his lips tightly and stared unblinkingly at Li Xiuqian.
Only Wen Yuehua's heart was pounding non-stop. She felt as though her brain was congested. There was a voice in the depths of her heart that kept telling her that the secret they had kept for thirty years was about to be revealed.
Li Xiuqian would still do such a thing after all.
Thirty years ago, he could decisively abandon her for the sake of his career. Thirty years later, he was successful in his career and had power and influence. Yet, he could still come back whenever he wanted. Was he going to do whatever he wanted now and reveal the secret that she had spent thirty years hiding from her family?
He was just like that.
This was the kind of man Li Xiuqian was. Yes! She was blind thirty years ago. Thirty years later, she was still blind. She really shouldn't have harbored any thoughts about him. She thought that he had returned this time for her. She didn't expect that his motive had never been her.
She recalled the phone call between Li Xiuqian and her that day. She was panting on the other side of the phone, but he was calm and composed throughout.
He said, "Yuehua, all these years, I have never denied that you are the only woman I have ever loved. I don't care about women. You are the only woman who can walk into my heart. But I don't deny that to me, my career has always been more important than love. It's just that these two things don't conflict with each other anymore. "
He said, "Yuehua, if you are willing, you can come back to my side. I know that Hanwoo is our son. I am very grateful to you for giving birth to our son without hesitation. Of course, now that things have come to this, I don't want to lie to you. Back then, I did use some tricks to force you to give birth to Hanwoo. Actually, in the thirty years that we have missed each other, I have always kept you in the deepest part of my heart. Now that I am back, I want to take back everything that belongs to me. As for the child in your stomach, you shouldn't keep it."
Wen Yuehua's mind was in a mess. It was as if the memories of her youth and the conversations she had not long ago were all tumbling and stirring in her mind. Her gaze gradually became incredulous as she looked at Li Xiuqian.
Actually, she had long known that Li Xiuqian was back, but this was also the first time she had seen him again after thirty years.
He didn't seem to have changed much, but she was already old.
That was why it was said that men were durable. He just looked a lot older, but he was also a lot sharper. A man of his age had a successful career and could do whatever he wanted with just a few words. He exuded a kind of charm. At least to Wen Yuehua, he was still full of masculine charm. She suddenly realized that all these years, even though she had been with Seo Dong-jun, there had never been a man who could give her such a feeling. It turned out that she had never forgotten Li Xiuqian.
No matter how much she hated him in her heart.
If there was no love, there would be no hate.
"Mr. Li, today we are discussing some private matters as a family. If there are any work-related matters, we can discuss them in private."
Of course, Wen Han-woo wasn't stupid. This Li Xiuqian had suddenly appeared here at this time. Looking at his youngest aunt's ugly and stiff face, he more or less had an idea of what was going on. Of course, there were some things that he couldn't be sure of and naturally, he didn't want to be sure. At this moment, he took a step forward and spoke.
Li Xiuqian still had a gentle smile on his face. "Hanwoo, I can also call you that. I'm not here today to discuss work with you. What's there to discuss about our work? Didn't you run into some problems with your project? "
Wen Han-woo was stunned for a moment. As smart as he was, he quickly understood something. He frowned and said in a low and cold voice, "Mr. Li, are you telling me that the problem with the project has something to do with you?"
Li Xiuqian waved his hand and said, "I'm not here today to discuss the so-called project with you. It's just a small matter. If you want it, I can give it to you."
He paused for a moment and looked at Wen Yuehua. "I'm here to discuss something important with your aunt. Of course, it just so happens that everyone involved is here today. I'd like to clarify a matter that has been hidden for more than thirty years in one go. Perhaps your Family Wen likes to be a fool, but I, Li Xiuqian, like to clarify things clearly. If someone belongs to me, then she has to belong to me. "
When he finished speaking, his gaze was clear and cold.
Then his gaze swept over Xiao Yu, who was in Xinwan's arms. He gestured for one of the men behind him and said to him, "Bring the young master down first. Don't go too far. Bring him to the room next door to play with the toys I prepared for him."
"Yes."
The man in black stepped forward. Xinwan immediately shielded her son anxiously. "What are you doing? No one is allowed to take my son away. Who are you? "
When she heard Xiao Yu call this man "Grandpa," she knew that things were complicated. Why did it have to be today? Moreover, Family Wen's people had been so arrogant and bossy when they were talking to her. Now that a man had walked in, all of them changed. It was obvious that this man was not simple. He probably had some secret relationship with Family Wen. However, the way he looked at Xiao Yu was so strange. On top of that, Xiao Yu called him "Grandpa." So, this "Grandpa" was the "Grandpa" who had given him the toys?
She already knew that there wouldn't be a person who would give an expensive toy to a passerby for no reason, so her suspicions were correct. It really was this man. What exactly was he planning?
"Didn't Xiao Yu call me Grandpa? Don't you know who I am? " Li Xiuqian affectionately called out Tong Yanyu's nickname. Xinwan's heart sank. In that instant, her mind went blank. She instinctively turned her head and looked at Wen Han-woo.
Wen Han-woo's expression didn't look any better. His thin lips were tightly pursed and there were too many complicated emotions in his deep eyes. Xinwan was even more certain that Wen Han-woo was kept in the dark about this matter. His expression was completely unexpected.
Moreover, he was enduring silently.
Wen Yuehua couldn't stand it anymore. She took a step forward and tried to stop Li Xiuqian. "Since you're here to look for me, let's talk in private. There are other people here."
"No, we're all family. You can talk about it."
Li Xiuqian interrupted Wen Yuehua. Then she looked at the confused Family Jiang's people. She smiled politely and said appropriately, "I'm sorry, but I want all of you to stay for a while. I have something important to say. Since Xinwan is part of Family Jiang and Xiao Yu is related to you, of course, you should sit here and listen."
