spring bite mark

Chapter 126 is mine

Did Yan Changye know?
Not only did he know, but he also helped Jiang Manman during her postpartum period?
When Jiang Manman said this, not only the Yan clan members, but even the Jiang family members were completely dumbfounded!
Old Master Yan clutched his chest in anger: "You unfilial son! You..."

Yan Changye lazily interrupted, "Don't talk. You keep calling me a rebellious son. It's annoying."

His complex gaze lingered on Jiang Manman's face for a moment, a sense of relief washing over him. His tone held a subtle probing as he spoke the secret he had kept buried for so many years:
"As for those two children, they are mine."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It was clearly Xie Yuheng who signed it!" Ning Xinyue's face was extremely ugly.

Yan Changye gave a faint "hmm": "You bring these two incomplete pages of files to me and start arguing. In reality, he only signed the file transfer letter. The signature in the operating room was mine."

Ning Xinyue staggered back two steps: "I don't believe it..."

"Believe it or not." Yan Changye chuckled lightly. "Oh, the child is here today too. Would you like to see him?"

Jiang Manman stared blankly at Yan Changye, her expression slightly bewildered.

When Yan Changye revealed that the child was his, Old Master Yan's anger turned to astonishment. Upon hearing Yan Changye mention that the child had also come today, he could no longer sit still. His expression became agitated, and he suddenly stood up: "Where is the child? Bring him here, quickly!"

Ning Xinyue was on the verge of collapse: "How could this be? The medical records clearly state that the baby was less than 22 weeks old, with incomplete development of various organs, and a survival rate of only 10%... It also states that at the time, the capital hospital did not have the medical conditions to treat such extremely premature infants, and the baby was already dead when discharged! Dead!"

Jiang Manman's expression paled slightly, and a sharp pain shot through her heart.

Yan Changye keenly sensed that Jiang Manman's mood was off. He gently but firmly took her hand, interlocked their fingers, and stroked her palm with his fingertips, which carried a soothing power.

"Madam, please allow me to explain to you slowly afterward."

He leaned close to her ear and whispered something, then, amidst a variety of probing gazes, lazily raised his chin and pointed to the door:
“Child, there he is.”

Following the direction he pointed, everyone in the hall turned to look at the entrance.

Xie Jian, holding the hand of Yan Changye's special assistant Shen Zongqian, skipped and hopped into the room.

The gazes of the crowd suddenly turned somewhat strange!

If it were any random child, the credibility would actually be quite high.

But, of all people, it was Xie Jian.

This child has a special identity. He is the grandson of the Xie family, the most powerful family in Hong Kong. He is the beloved son of Xie Yunxi and Xie Yuheng, the two current heads of the Xie family. When the old master made his appearance at the banquet this morning, he specially brought the child with him and solemnly introduced him to the various families.

“Chairman, we don’t really care about your affair with your wife. You don’t need to use the Xie family’s grandson as a pretext…” A senior elder of the Yan family frowned slightly.

Yan Changye ignored him and reached out to Xie Jian: "Xie Jian, come here."

"I'm here!" Xie Jian rushed into Yan Changye's arms, her eyes sparkling. "I picked a lot of flowers, I'll give them to you and Manman later."

Yan Changye hummed in agreement.

He patted the child's head, his voice encouraging: "Xie Jian, tell everyone, what should you actually call me?"

Xie Jian glanced at Jiang Manman reflexively, his childish voice asking without hesitation, "Uncle?"

Yan Changye paused for a moment, then said, "No, think again—follow your heart, what should you call me?"

Xie Jian glanced at Jiang Manman again, then asked blankly, "Yan Changye?"

"..." Yan Changye closed his eyes slightly, "Think again! Think about it from a biological perspective."

Xie Jian blinked, pondered seriously for a long time, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Manman again, tentatively asking, "Old Yan?"

Yan Changye pursed his thin lips, wanting to scold but unable to. He usually wanted to call Xie Jian "Dad" but didn't dare, secretly calling him that more enthusiastically than anyone else. Now that the opportunity had come, he was stubborn and couldn't understand the hint, making him question his own superior genes once again. "It's my fault, I forgot you don't know anything about biology." He sighed softly, looking at Xie Jian, "Good son, call me Daddy."

Xie Jian glanced furtively at Jiang Manman, hesitatingly asking, "Can I call you Daddy now?"

Yan Changye nodded firmly: "Okay."

"Then I can call Manman Mommy too?" Xie Jian asked, revealing his more pressing concern.

Yan Changye placed his small hand into Jiang Manman's palm: "Okay."

"Mommy!" Xie Jian climbed into Jiang Manman's arms and nuzzled against her. "Manman, I can finally call you Mommy!"

Jiang Manman hugged Xie Jian without saying a word, only managing a weak smile.

Yan Changye glanced at the questioning crowd around him, his tone becoming more serious, and placed his hand on Xie Jian's shoulder:
"Now, let me formally introduce you to Xie Jian, the second son of Jiang Manman's twins. As for the eldest son, he is not here today, but we will bring him to meet you when we have the chance."

"Finished?" Old Master Yan asked indifferently. "If you're done, let's continue the banquet."

A group of bodyguards came in and dragged Ning Xinyue and Ning Musheng out.

“It’s fake, it must all be fake…” Ning Xinyue cried and laughed, her whole body trembling. She was escorted off the island by the bodyguards. Liu Zhi, who had already received the news, stood at the exit, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, staring at her coldly.

His bodyguard took the man from Yan Changye's bodyguard: "Boss, shall we go back to the villa?"

Liu coldly exhaled a smoke ring: "Send him to a mental hospital."

"Liu Zhi, how dare you!" Ning Xinyue screamed madly, "I'm not sick! It's Yan Changye who's sick! He actually used the Xie family's grandson to make up the numbers, he's the one who's a heartless madman!"

Liu Zhi looked at her indifferently: "Because of you, you foolish woman, just now, the Yanjing Group and the Xie Consortium attacked the Ning family's businesses together. At the latest, the Ning family will disappear from the capital. Thanks to you, the Liu family's Shenghe Hospital has been handed over by my father to apologize to Yan Changye."

After saying that, he ordered someone to put Ning Xinyue into the car and drove away.

Ning Musheng also stood at the island's entrance. He watched helplessly as his daughter was sent to a mental hospital by his son-in-law, his face lifeless and devoid of emotion.

On the phone, Madam Ning's furious voice came through: "Ning Musheng, what have you done! All the shareholders have come to our door, saying that the Ning family's business is gone! Gone! How could it just be gone!"

Ning Musheng hung up the phone blankly, unable to say a word.

Inside the banquet hall on the island.

When Old Master Yan said, "Let the banquet continue," he tacitly agreed that the farce had come to an end.

The others chuckled and congratulated Yan Changye on the birth of his son before taking their seats and beginning the meal. Their expressions varied throughout the meal, their minds swirling with gossip, and their subtle glances swept over Yan Changye, Jiang Manman, and Xie Jian countless times.

As for what Yan Changye just said about Xie Jian being his second son...

Not a single person truly believed it.

That night, after the banquet ended, Old Master Yan summoned Yan Changye into his room and looked at him coldly: "You unfilial son, tell me the truth, what exactly happened today?"

"What I said at the banquet was the truth." Yan Changye clicked his tongue lightly. "Believe it or not."

"Just two days ago you were so certain that Xie Jian was the grandson of the Xie family." Old Master Yan picked up his cane, as if to strike him. "Today you're using the Xie family's gold nugget as a shield, blatantly lying to cover up your scandal. Do you really think people are so easily fooled?"

Yan Changye: "..."

He remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "What if I were Xie Yunxi?"
