He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 218 When the White Moonlight Overturns the Plot 25

Xiao Yichen rushed home and hurriedly pushed open the door: "Dad!"

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, as well as Ye Qianqian sitting opposite them, all looked over.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were alright, but Ye Qianqian's eyes were terribly red. When she saw Xiao Yichen, she wanted to run over, but she suppressed the urge because her mother was watching her.

"Yichen's back, come on..."

Xiao's mother tried to smooth things over, but was interrupted sternly by Xiao's father: "Get over here now, look what you've done!!"

His eyes were burning with rage; he wished he could beat his son up and throw him out.

After silently repeating to himself three times that this was his only son, the anger on his face subsided a little.

Xiao Yichen didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped forward, pursing his lips as he chose to sit next to Ye Qianqian. Ye Qianqian was delighted and climbed onto his arm, which Xiao Yichen did not push away.

When Xiao's father saw what the two were doing, he was furious again.

He once suspected that his son's teenage rebellion had been delayed until adulthood!

He rubbed his temples, deep in thought. Although the marriage alliance could elevate the company to a higher level, he wasn't someone who didn't love children.

He thought for a moment and said, "Now that we have your child, let's get married."

Xiao's mother wanted to object.

She's more realistic.

Her son is handsome and talented, a true gem among men. How could a gold digger be worthy of him?

I'm not talking about rich heiresses, but I do want to find someone of equal social standing and someone I can talk to.

Although Xiao's mother wasn't good at business, she was more insightful about matters of the heart than Xiao's father and Xiao Yichen.

The two have vastly different ways of thinking and a significant class difference; this gap cannot be simply covered up by a word like "love."

Just like the huge sum of money Ye Qianqian resisted, Xiao Yichen saw it as the price of a single button.

Ye Qianqian refused the money because of her dignity. Xiao Yichen might have thought on a whim that this woman was special, pure and unpretentious, and that she was independent of the world because everyone loves money.

In reality, even if Ye Qianqian accepted it, it would be nothing more than a drop of rain for Xiao Yichen's family. It wouldn't even wet a speck of dust and wouldn't amount to anything.

Reality isn't a novel, and there aren't Cinderella stories of girls transforming into millionaires... Do you think rich people are fools who don't care about their reputation and go around helping the poor?

After being pinched by Xiao's mother, Xiao's father finally realized what was happening.

Why did he seem to be under a spell just now?

But since he had already spoken, it would be a bit embarrassing to take it back. So, Xiao's mother thought that one of them would play the good cop and the other the bad cop, and they could stall for time.

To their surprise, Xiao Yichen's words stunned them both.

"Mom and Dad, I can't marry Qianqian."

Xiao's mother swallowed back the words of objection that were about to come out.

What do you mean you can't marry her?

Xiao's father was furious again. "I told you to marry her, but you wouldn't. Didn't you make a fuss about marrying Wen Yan before she returned to China?"

He curses when he gets angry.

Xiao Yichen looked on with pity. He looked at Ye Qianqian's trembling body and the sound of her uncontrollable tears falling. His heart felt like it had been hit by a pounding hammer, and he felt both sad and aching.

The word "marry" was about to leave his lips when he came to his senses. If he married her, what about Sister Xiaoyan?

After much hesitation, Xiao Yichen finally chose Wen Yan, whom he had longed for for several years.

He didn't care whether Xiao's father had a heart attack from anger or Xiao's mother looked like she wanted to slap herself.

With a straightened leg, he knelt down. "Mom and Dad, can we talk alone? It's too cruel for Qianqian to do this in front of her."

After raising him for over twenty years, how could Xiao's parents not know what he was thinking?

Mr. Xiao pointed a finger and said, "What do you mean by cruel or not? I think you're just doing this for Wen Yan!"

"Fox spirits, they are all reincarnations of nine-tailed fox spirits..." Xiao's mother felt dizzy.

"Mom! I won't allow you to talk about Sister Xiaoyan like that."

"You, you, you!" Father Xiao's eyesight was failing; was her son trying to drive her to her death?

Taking people from the Fu family is no different from robbing a bank with an ID card and a gun.

Oh no, there are differences. One dies quickly, the other dies slowly; one dies hastily, the other dies with refinement.

"Enough!" Ye Qianqian suddenly shouted.

"Xiao Yichen, don't think you're so great. Do you think I can't live without you?" She wiped away her tears fiercely. "I can raise the baby on my own. I didn't come here for money or a marriage certificate. I just want to give the baby a complete family... a father..."

Ye Qianqian couldn't stop crying. She was still very young and her pregnancy wasn't showing. Her body was as thin as a sheet of paper. She was so helpless and pitiful.

Xiao Yichen recalled when he first met her. Her mother had surgery and incurred high-interest debts. She was a little girl handing out flyers in the sweltering heat, wearing such a thick mascot costume.

Her father passed away when she was very young. She was a child without a father, so she naturally understood what the lack of fatherly love meant for a child's childhood.

"I just wanted to give my baby a father, what did I do wrong?"

"If I had known you would act like this, I shouldn't have come here!"

"Don't worry, this child's surname is Ye, not Xiao. You can keep your filthy money!"

Ye Qianqian threw the bank card at Xiao Yichen's face, leaving a mark on his fair skin with a loud slap.

She was startled; it was the first time she had ever been so assertive in front of him.

Overwhelmed by sadness, Ye Qianqian covered her mouth and ran out, followed by Xiao Yichen.

Xiao's parents were left standing there, petrified.

What... what's going on?

Even though he was used to big events, Mr. Xiao was completely bewildered by the two's actions. He turned to Mrs. Xiao and said, "I want to get a paternity test done."

Xiao's mother nodded blankly, then shot him a sharp glare, "Xiao Jing, what do you mean?"

Mr. Xiao had just been talking nonsense and was really angry, so he quickly apologized to Mrs. Xiao.

Just as I was having a heart attack, Fu Chen called.

Mr. Xiao's alarm bells rang loudly. He racked his brains, wondering if the plan was not satisfactory again. No, no, no, what he just said was acceptable.

So there was a problem with the goods? No, no, no, he personally oversaw the shipment, and if there was a problem, he would swallow the blame whole.

What else is there? You stubborn fool, think of something quick!

The phone had been ringing for so long that, although Mr. Xiao couldn't think of a way to get Fu Chen to call, he finally answered: "Hello, Mr. Fu?"

In his office on the top floor of the building, Fu Chen sat with his legs crossed, leaning back against the leather sofa, completely relaxed. He wasn't in a hurry when Xiao's father didn't answer the phone for a while, and waited patiently.

As soon as Xiao's father's voice came over, he smiled and started chatting naturally, making small talk here and there, never getting to the point, just to keep the conversation going.

That's just to keep you hanging on.

Mr. Xiao was unsure of the situation and dared not hang up the phone rashly, so he could only agree with him.

Until Fu Chen casually said, "Oh, I forgot to share some good news with President Xiao, I got married."

"Oh, you got married? That's great! Married... What? You got married?"

Xiao's father's voice soared by 180 degrees, reaching straight to the top of his head.

Fu Chen accepted it well and casually brought up wedding-related matters.

Xiao's father wouldn't listen to a single word!

Until Fu Chen finished speaking his last sentence: "By the way, President Xiao, remember to share this happy event with Young Master Xiao, so that he can be happy too."

After agreeing, Xiao's father sadly hung up the phone.

Given his son's character, this is absolutely devastating!

In that instant, he even imagined Xiao Yichen disrupting the wedding, stealing the bride, and then being arrested by the police, which implicated the Xiao family and caused them to decline ever since. He also imagined the scene of him and Xiao's mother, both elderly, shivering in the cold on the street.

I just felt like my life was very hard, and I was miserable all over.

When Xiao's mother asked him what was wrong, after hearing what Xiao's father said, the two people with bitter faces turned into one.
