Standing downstairs, Xiao Yuan felt a dull pain starting to throb in the area where he had just fallen heavily. In the spacious hall, a man wearing sunglasses stood against the wall, his face turned slightly as he watched the elevator and staircase.
Administrator looked up and noticed Xiao Yuan, raising a finger to point at him, and quietly said to the man, "Mr. Xiao has returned!"
Looking for me? Xiao Yuan straightened his back and glanced at the man. The man's face turned towards Xiao Yuan, and he slowly walked over. When he reached Xiao Yuan, he took off his sunglasses and lightly tapped Xiao Yuan's forehead with the frame's leg. "You are Xiao Yuan? Sister Lian asked me to remind you that tomorrow is the last chance!" The man was quite short, barely reaching Xiao Yuan's shoulder, and had to slightly tiptoe and stretch his arms as far as possible to perform this action.
Xiao Yuan looked down on this man but still put on a respectful demeanor upon hearing Sister Lian's name. "Yes, yes, I will find a way! I will personally meet Sister Lian tomorrow!"
The man snorted and walked towards the hall.
As Xiao Yuan spat on the ground in disdain at the man's retreating figure, he was suddenly called back by a voice.
"Mr. Xiao! Please wait a moment!" It was the voice of Administrator, who stepped out from the management office and stood in front of Xiao Yuan. Clearing his throat, he looked troubled. "Um, Mr. Xiao, a person claiming to be a lawyer just came by, hoping you would vacate the house by tomorrow at the latest. Otherwise, they will take necessary measures!"
"Ah, okay, I understand! Hey, is it really necessary to rush me over such a trivial matter? It's ridiculous!" To ease the awkwardness, Xiao Yuan deliberately spoke lightly before turning towards the elevator. However, inside he was cursing repeatedly—damn it, they are forcing me!
Tomorrow, tomorrow—damn tomorrow! I’ll go right away! Damn Autumn Wind, do you really need this one house when you have so many others? As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Yuan began kicking around in frustration.
The clothes and personal items of Phoebe and Qiu Feng had long been taken away by Qiu Feng's family after their divorce. The entire house was left with only Xiao Yuan's belongings and some furniture that was originally there.
Irritatedly sorting through his clothes while rummaging around the room, he couldn't find any suitcase to pack his clothes into. Damn it, Qiu Feng didn't leave me anything!
With no other option, Xiao Yuan turned his attention to a cardboard box full of miscellaneous items on the balcony. He kicked at it a few times until he chose a seemingly new box and bent down to pick it up. The box was filled with various items, mostly unsold EPs from Qiu Feng, along with some scribbled notes that looked like nonsense. Lacking patience to take them out one by one, he picked up the box and let everything fall onto the floor with a crash.
A tightly sealed large envelope landed last on the ground—pale yellow cardboard packaging wrapped in several layers of tape. Xiao Yuan squinted and picked up the envelope.
Having lived with Qiu Feng for so many years, he naturally understood her habits. Such meticulous packaging left carelessly in this place could only mean one thing—the importance of this item—after all, Qiu Feng once tossed her wedding ring into the crevice of a trash can at their entrance.
Grabbing scissors, he quickly opened the envelope. To his surprise, the first thing he saw was a DNA paternity test report with an astonishing match rate of 9999999. Whose is this? Could it be that Phoebe and Yusha are not my biological children? This was Xiao Yuan's first reaction.
Continuing to read further revealed something different; both parties in the test were female—this was a report confirming a mother-daughter relationship!
And what does this have to do with me? Losing patience quickly, Xiao Yuan reached out intending to throw it away.
However, relying on his last bit of patience, he flipped through several pages beneath the test report. Upon seeing what was written there, his mouth fell open in shock…
It was in Qiu Feng's handwriting documenting one thing: that this report confirmed both parties were Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan. So… Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan are actually biological mother and daughter rather than an adopted relationship as widely rumored; they share blood ties!
Realizing this, Xiao Yuan's face immediately revealed a hint of a strange smile. "Autumn Wind, let's see if you can still chase me away now!"
Autumn Wind had arrived at Wang Jiaru's engagement banquet early. She wore a white diamond-embellished long dress and carried a blue evening bag on one shoulder. Finding a milky white chair in the corner, she noticed Qiu Ruolan had arrived early as well, but after scanning the venue, she couldn't find her. Instead, she spotted Kedan.
She gently raised her cup towards Kedan as a greeting. Kedan smiled back at her, holding a glass of light yellow liquid and slowly walking toward Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind had never really interacted with Kedan before, although she had heard his name countless times from Qiu Mowen. This was the first time she was so close to him. She raised her cup again and introduced herself, "I'm Autumn Wind; you can call me Wendy!" She tilted her head slightly and gently tapped the cup in Kedan's hand. Just then, Qiu Ruolan suddenly appeared in Autumn Wind's line of sight.
Kedan also saw Qiu Ruolan; his gaze lingered on her for a moment before he looked down and took a sip of his drink. He smiled faintly at Autumn Wind and said, "Why didn't you come with Ervin..." He didn't realize he had mistakenly called out the wrong name.
Ervin? Hearing that felt like receiving dreadful news about the Earth exploding. Autumn Wind's heart skipped a beat. Did Kedan know something? Regarding Phoebe, Liu Jian had indeed been in contact with Kedan, and Liu Jian's behavior made it clear that Kedan had just casually mentioned Qiu Mowen's English name.
Despite her confusion, Autumn Wind did not show it. She followed Kedan's lead and replied, "Yeah, we didn't come together..." She raised her cup high again and lightly tapped it against Kedan's glass. "I still haven't thanked you for what happened last time!" She nodded towards Qiu Ruolan.
Kedan chuckled softly but said nothing more; he simply clinked his glass against Autumn Wind's.
Hearing Kedan laugh, Autumn Wind guessed that Qiu Mowen must have shared stories about her and Qiu Ruolan with him. She took a small sip of her drink and casually asked, "Have you seen Ervin often lately?"
"Yeah, I just saw him yesterday!" Kedan replied with a smile in his eyes. To emphasize his closeness to Qiu Mowen, he stressed "yesterday" while glancing at Autumn Wind. "Ervin's skills are still as good as ever!"
However, to his surprise, Autumn Wind's eyes suddenly widened; the flirtatious demeanor vanished in an instant. Her reaction startled Kedan, who realized he had let something slip. He tightened his grip on the cup slightly, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "I-I meant Kris! Qiu Hai! It was a slip of the tongue!" He quickly corrected himself to cover up his mistake.
But Autumn Wind was not buying it; she stepped closer to Kedan and demanded sharply, "Qiu Hai is Qiu Mowen, right? Tell me! Tell me!" Her gaze was resolute, leaving no room for deception.
"They... Ah!" Kedan wanted to argue further, but Autumn Wind's piercing gaze left him nowhere to hide. After a long sigh, he surrendered. "Yes, that's right; Qiu Hai is indeed Qiu Mowen. The real Qiu Hai has long since passed away!" He looked up at Autumn Wind but didn’t meet her eyes before hearing a loud crash—the sound of the cup falling to the ground.
Autumn Wind’s determined expression turned to shock as Kedan turned to see Qiu Ruolan standing behind him with clenched fists. Her cheeks were already streaked with tears; it was clear she had heard everything Kedan just said.
Realizing he was in trouble, Kedan’s bravado evaporated instantly. He placed the cup on the waiter’s tray and tried to slip away, but Qiu Ruolan moved in closer while Autumn Wind opened her arms wide. Together they formed a small but effective barrier around Kedan.
"Clarify things!" Qiu Ruolan's voice carried authority but also an undertone of pleading.
Kedan felt trapped; the barrier formed by Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan was like child's play for him to break through, yet he dared not act recklessly. He could only smile awkwardly and advise them gently, "Ladies, please calm down; you need to ask Ervin about this—he’s the one involved!"
Autumn Wind’s throat tightened as she still couldn’t fully believe her suspicions were true. She brushed past Kedan’s face and looked at Qiu Ruolan; their expressions mirrored each other’s shock—clearly more than just Leo had noticed the resemblance between Qiu Hai and Qiu Mowen!
But she felt dazed as her body moved along with Kedan’s shifting position; her steps became increasingly mechanical as she wondered what she was doing! Her phone buzzed inside her evening bag; while moving her feet, she pulled out her phone and frowned slightly when she saw it was Xiao Yuan calling. Her pace slowed down.
Kedan took the opportunity to break through the encirclement of the two, and Qiu Ruolan immediately reflected her frustration on her face. She looked at Autumn Wind and, noticing the change in Autumn Wind's expression, fell silent, just staring at her.
Under Qiu Ruolan's gaze, Autumn Wind answered the phone, "What do you want!" She had no desire to get entangled with Xiao Yuan.
"Autumn Wind, don't be so fierce. I know you haven't liked me much, but today I shamelessly called you!" Xiao Yuan chuckled.
"Cut the crap! If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up!" Autumn Wind couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Don't! Alright, since Qiu Dajie doesn't want to chat, I won't waste time either. Transfer me 100,000; I need to pay back some money, and I also need the house I'm living in transferred to me!" Xiao Yuan held the phone with one hand while sliding over a document with the other.
Xiao Yuan's words immediately drew laughter from Autumn Wind. "What a big talker! Are you crazy to say something like that? On what basis do you make such demands?"
"What? Qiu Dajie doesn't want to spend money?" Xiao Yuan sneered.
Autumn Wind was confused, mistakenly thinking that Xiao Yuan was joking. "Have you had too much to drink?" She was about to hang up.
"Wait a minute, I see you're not shedding tears until you see the coffin..."
