A beautiful summer night

The farce that happened in the Zhou family became common knowledge. When Xie Qiyan brought Yao Qin back to the Xie family's old house, the three members of the Zhou family were still begging the old man for help.

Zhou Yu spoke ill of Xie Qiyan in front of the old man: "You're still alive, so why is Xie Qiyan the one who calls the shots in the Xie family? Besides, my eldest uncle has already been discharged from the hospital, so this family can't just listen to Xie Qiyan! If it were my second or third uncle's family that had this accident today, and Xie Qiyan ignored it as well, then shouldn't this family change its name and surname?"

Xie Tianqi did not value Xie Qiyan, and even rejected him as his son.

It was precisely because Xie Tianqi was watching from the side that Zhou Yu's words became so unrestrained.

The people from both the second and third uncles' branches were watching the show, keeping to themselves as it was none of their business. But Zhou Yu had no way out now, and he was determined to drag everyone into it.

"Pah! What do you mean 'something happened in our family'..." Xie Nan almost couldn't help but punch him twice. She thought to herself that no matter how much she and Xie Lin played around outside, they would never let their lover take advantage of her and make such a big fuss.

There are countless similar incidents in this industry, but it was only Zhou Yu who couldn't control his people and ultimately caused a social news story.

Xie Lin secretly tugged at Xie Nan twice, signaling him to control his emotions.

Zhou Yu has no chance of turning things around, so there's no need for them to get involved.

If Zhou Yu has the ability, Xie Lin might consider helping him out.

Xie Qiyan watched from the sidelines, and they weren't stupid; they ignored him if they could.

To avoid harming innocent bystanders.

"He dares?" Xie Tianqi's deep voice was accompanied by a few coughs, as if he was angered by Zhou Yu's words. He turned to look at the old man and said, "Isn't it enough that he is in charge of the Xie family now? Does he want to be the head of the Xie family? We elders are still here. If we let a junior hold all the power, where will we put our old faces?"

Xie Tianqi said in a heavy tone: "He has never regarded the Xie family in his eyes. I think he can't wait to change his name and surname!"

The old man sighed and was about to explain when he saw a group of people standing neatly at the door. Xie Qiyan stepped across the threshold first, looked around, and his indifferent voice slowly came over.

"Change your surname? I've been thinking about that for over twenty years." Xie Qiyan's gaze fell on Xie Tianqi. Through his glasses, he saw the momentary contraction of his pupils and the undisguised surprise he showed upon seeing Yao Qin.

Yao Qin's arrival caught everyone off guard.

All eyes were on Yao Qin, so much so that everyone forgot what they had just been talking about.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xie." That's how Yao Qin addressed Mr. Xie when she first met him more than twenty years ago.

Decades later, Yao Qin still calls him Mr. Xie in that gentle voice.

"Yao..." The old man's throat tightened slightly, and in the end he could only say one sentence, "Come in and sit down."

The problem remained unresolved, and Xie Qiyan even overheard what they had just said. Zhou Yu's face turned pale and then red. He glanced at Xie Tianqi, who had already forgotten about the matter and was focused entirely on Yao Qin, and angrily stepped aside.

But when he thought of Xia Wanzhi being there, he couldn't help but look at her.

The girl who used to stand opposite him, who used to only stand with him, is now holding hands with someone else, and has never even given him a glance.

Although the Xie family members were not very familiar with Yao Qin, they were certainly not strangers to her either.

Apart from Xie Tianqi, everyone else was curious about who the person next to Yao Qin was.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Liu, and I am Yao's son..." Liu Shubai looked at Xie Tianqi, as if he was competing with him, and deliberately did not continue, leaving a suspenseful question for people to ponder.

These words made others wonder about his relationship with Yao Qin.

However, Xie Tan, who was still an innocent child standing nearby, blurted out, "Does Brother Ayan want to change his surname to Liu?"

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

Before she could signal Xie Tan to be quiet, Xie's third aunt grabbed Xie Tan's arm and gave her a sideways glance, indicating that she shouldn't say anything more.

Xie Qiyan lowered his eyes and saw Xie Tianqi's suddenly clenched fist and tense body.

He was angry.

If they don't like him and don't even want to have him as their son, then why did they react so strongly when they heard that he wanted to change his surname to Liu?

The old man seemed to realize that Liu Shubai and Yao Qin had an unusual relationship. Although he was taken aback for a moment, he was genuinely happy for her.

It's not that Yao Qin is unworthy of his son.

It was his son who was not good enough for Yao Qin.

The old man nodded slightly to Liu Shubai, then turned to look at Xie Tianqi.

"Everyone, disperse." This was said to the second and third branches of the Xie family and the Zhou family.

Zhou Yu cried out anxiously, "Grandpa..."

"I've already had your second uncle suppress the trending topic. What else do you want the Xie family to do? Send someone to abort your unborn child? Or do you want to cause a huge uproar by killing two lives?" As he spoke, the old man looked coldly at Zhou's mother. "And you, all you know how to do is teach your son to beg for help when things get tough. One day, when things really get to the point where it's too late to turn back, you'll regret it."

What was an ordinary little thing turned into a sensational event in the Zhou family. The old man was scolding Zhou's parents for being useless, and also scolding Zhou Yu for not being a man.

Zhou Yu's face turned deathly pale, and he could no longer utter a single word.

That was said so bluntly that he couldn't even refute it.

The Zhou family left in anger, followed closely by the second and third branches of the Xie family.

Xie Tan was so curious that he kept turning back to look at Liu Shubai until they finally met each other's gazes.

Perhaps Xie Tan's words had pleased Liu Shubai, who noticed the child's gossipy curiosity and reluctance to leave, so he beckoned and said, "Come here to your uncle."

Xie Tan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he scurried back to stand next to Xia Wanzhi, then secretly glanced at Yao Qin and Liu Shubai.

Xia Wanzhi: "..."

The old man didn't mind letting a child stay, and told Xie Tan to greet the person: "Call her aunt."

Xie Tan stared intently, then whispered, "Auntie."

Yao Qin said in a friendly tone, "Please call me Auntie."

Being nameless and without status is inappropriate.

She no longer had any expectations.
