World Seven. Stand-in Lover (36)

Xue Dehui lit a cigarette when he said this.

The rising smoke obscured the outline of the man’s tough face and blurred his expression, only the pair of dark black pupils reflecting the firelight were particularly clear.

Xue Xue also followed Xue Dehui out of the car and leaned against the car door.

She didn’t have any doubts about Xue Dehui’s words, because Xue Li’s memory and her own speculation were completely correct. People like Xue Liansong, who are used to being strong, will not joke about their own blood even if they are indebted to their granddaughter abandoned by their son and daughter-in-law.

Compared with that bit of guilt, Xue Li was useful, and that was what Xue Liansong noticed.

The weaker the bond with parents, the more convenient it was to control.

However, the relationship between Xue Zhen and Yang Qing Mei seemed to be much worse than Xue Li thought it was in Xue Dehui’s description.

Why was that?

“The relationship between Dad and Yang Qingmei died a long time ago.”

Xue Xue knew this without Xue Dehui saying it.

“It’s not as simple as you think.” As if he could see through her mind, Xue Dehui always used a single sentence to accurately break through Xue Xue’s doubts. “Remember Yang Qingmei’s later pregnancy?”

Xue Xue certainly remembered.

That was her missing brother, and it was also the fuse that prompted Yang Qingmei and Xue Zhen to divorce.

Yang Qingmei, who had just lost her child and was in confinement, learned of the existence of Xue Dehui. A boy of the same age as Xue Li was the best evidence that her husband had cheated on her and she was deceived like a fool. Without this sudden episode, it was hard to say when the marriage of the two will be dragged down.

After all, the previous years have been like this.

Just as Xue Xue was thinking about Xue Dehui’s intention for bringing this matter up, the man’s next sentence put Xue Xue in a hot spot.

“That child doesn’t belong to Dad.”

“…What?”

Even if Xue Xue was good at keeping calm, it was definitely not in such a situation.

She stared in astonishment at the man who didn’t seem to realize that he had made a shocking revelation.

“You heard me right.” Xue Dehui held the cigarette between his slender fingers, and the red light was very eye-catching in the deep night.

“Yang Qingmei hid it very well. My mother learned the news by accident at that time and spent a lot of money to hire a private investigator to investigate carefully. Unexpectedly, this investigation really revealed something to her.” The man’s thin lips slowly exhaled a circle of smoke. “My mother told this matter to my father. That’s probably the way some men are. It’s fine for them to cheat, but their wife can’t cuckold them.”

Xue Xue clearly saw the irony on Xue Dehui’s face.

A mockery aimed at Xue Zhen.

Xue Xue blinked, and found that the Xue Dehui in Xue Li’s memory and the Xue Dehui in front of her were indeed like two completely different people.

Not just speculation, but fact.

Was Xue Li’s understanding of Xue Dehui wrong or…

“The father of that child is…”

Xue Dehui didn’t answer this time, but just raised his eyelids and looked at Xue Xue quietly.

The answer was obvious.

But then she thought of a problem, a very urgent one.

“Then my father…”

“Hey.” Xue Dehui laughed lowly, looking at Xue Xue as if he was looking at a fool. “Of course you are Dad’s daughter, otherwise, would Xue Liansong bring you up?”

That was true.

Xue Xue thought that her concern was confusing. If Xue Li was not Xue Zhen’s child, how could Xue Liansong pass “Lai Yao” to her? Even if he was optimistic about Xue Li, Xue Liansong, who had other choices, would not do such a thing of passing on the good but not the relatives.

But it all made sense.

She still thought at that time, if only Xue Dehui had the ironclad evidence of cheating, according to the degree of Yang Qingmei’s favor in the Yang family, she shouldn’t let the Xue family go so easily.

Now, from Xue Dehui’s mouth, Xue Xue understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It seemed to be unexpected, but when thought about it carefully, it was reasonable and embarrassing.

There was a long silence between the two.

“Dad has always wanted me to take over Lai Yao.”

“He has made plans for this matter for a long time.” When Xue Xue looked over, Xue Dehui lowered his eyelids to cover his emotions. “A lot deeper than you think.”

“Oh.” Xue Xue thought for a while and said lightly. “So what? Could it be…”

Xue Xue, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration, felt that she had grasped the tail of logic.

“Are you trying to say that those words and actions against me in the company were not your intention?”

Xue Xue stared closely at Xue Dehui, trying to find a flaw in his face that seemed to be wearing a mask, but Xue Dehui looked away and ignored Xue Xue’s question.

“Xue Dehui…”

“Just two years ago, my father introduced a person to me. He said that as long as that person is willing to stand by my side, Lai Yao will be in my pocket. I don’t need to be afraid of all those old men on the board of directors. ”

“What? Xue Dehui, don’t change the subject…” Xue Xue, who was originally impatient with Xue Dehui’s vague attitude, suddenly paused, because an absurd but seemingly reasonable inference appeared in her mind. “You said that Xue Zhen introduced someone to you…it can’t be…”

For some reason, the familiar name suddenly became extremely unfamiliar, and it was extremely difficult to even say the two words clearly.

At this moment, Xue Dehui was finally willing to look directly at Xue Xue, with a look of helplessness and pity.

“Yes.”

“The person I’m talking about is Chi Yu.”
