Nie Xingzhi’s accusation caused everyone to be stunned again. Zhao Youlin’s gaze turned austere as she took a step forward and sneered. “Mr. Nie, I respect you as an elder, but my brother and my sister-in-law’s business is the Zhao family’s family business. Don’t you think you’re overstepping your
boundaries by coming to Zhao Residence and rebuking my brother?”
“That’s… That’s right!” After hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, An Yue finally reacted. Her face tuned red as she stared fiercely at Nie Xingzhi. “How Chen treats me is our business. What does it have to do with you? What gave you the right to condemn him?”
She might be timid, but that was only when no one crossed the line. After all, desperation could make the cornered prey fight back!
Han Yichen and An Qi had always been her berserk button. If anyone dared to insult them, she would not fight them to the death.
“What gave me the right?” Nie Xingzhi seemed to be exasperated by their remarks. Without thinking, he yelled out something that shocked everyone, “I am your father, that’s why!”
Nie Xingzhi’s voice echoed throughout the hall, causing everyone present to be dumbfounded again.
As the suffocating silence spread through the hall, Zhao Youlin and the others stared at Nie Xingzhi in disbelief, while Nie Yunfan even had a stupefied look on his face, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
After a long time, An Yue was the first to react. She stared at the man in front of her incredulously with her eyes widened. “Mr. Nie, is this a joke? I am an orphan. How can I… How can I be…?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Nie Xingzhi looked at An Yue. There were a few traces of resignation and longing in his eyes. He reached out, trying to hold An Yue’s hand, only to see An Yue dodge his hand in panic.
Nie Xingzhi’s hand just froze on the spot. Staring at An Yue, who was hiding in Han Yichen’s embrace and glaring at him with a wary expression, Nie Xingzhi felt like his heart had been struck hard by something as bitterness quickly filled his heart.
The long-anticipated reunion with his daughter was not supposed to be like this. Even if it was not a heartfelt scenario with them crying and hugging each other, it definitely should not be like this, in which the daughter that he had finally found was looking warily at him and exuding an aura of rejection
toward him.
Han Yichen, who was holding An Yue, could keenly feel the person in his arms trembling slightly. He frowned a little, and his gaze toward Nie Xingzhi became colder.
“Mtr. Nie, since it’s not a joke, would you care to give us an explanation? Why would you say you’re Yue Yue’s father? Yue Yue and An Qi have lived together for so many years. She has never heard that she has a father.”
Han Yichen’s tone was no longer as polite as before. He bluntly pointed out the loopholes in Nie Xingzhi’s words and insinuated that if he really was An Yue’s father, then as her father, he had never shown up in An Yue’s life for all these years, so much so that An Yue still did not know that she actually had
a father.
He had never been there when An Yue was leading a tough life. Now that An Yue’s life had finally gotten better, he just suddenly showed up. What was he trying to do?

‘The person who had the most say in this was An Qi, who had lived with An Yue for more than 20 years. Hence, when she heard Han Yichen talk about this, she finally recovered from Nie Xingzhi’s shocking revelation. She bit her lip and took a step forward. Looking into Nie Xingzhi’s eyes, she said icily,
“That’s right. Throughout all those years I was taking care of Yue Yue, I’ve never heard of Yue Yue having a father. If you really are Yue Yue’s father, then why did you abandon Yue Yue and her mother in the first place? You left Yue Yue in the orphanage for so many years, and now, you just came out of
nowhere and want to reunite with her. What are you really up to?”
An Qi could not help but take a deep breath as she said that. Her hands that were hanging at her side clenched tightly, as if it was the only way to keep her body under control. “No matter what you are up to, we will never allow you to hurt even a single hair on Yue Yue’s body.”
Everyone in the room jolted at An Qi’s words. When they came around, they were all thinking of the same thing.
Nie Yunfan covered his face in misery. He could not bear to watch the sudden incident of his future wife confronting his uncle. He could foresee that his journey to win An Qi’s heart had become even bumpier because of this!
Han Yichen, on the other hand, felt a little pity after hearing what An Qi said, feeling as if his lines had been stolen by her.
So, compared to those strangers, perhaps a man’s strongest love rival was always a woman’s best friend or sister.
In contrast to them, what other people were thinking was much more normal.
Upon hearing what An Qi said, the first thought that came to their minds was the word, “abandoned”. Why would An Qi use such a strong word to describe An Yue’s father’s relationship with An Yue’s mother and An Yue? Did she know something?”
Nie Xingzhi’s face also turned pale after hearing An Qi’s condemnation. His lips quivered slightly. He remained silent for a long time before he uttered, “I didn’t… I didn’t abandon Yue Ru, I didn’t… I had no idea that she was pregnant with my child at that time.”
“You didn’t know?” An Qi’s expression turned dark again. Her tone became sharp as well. “You didn’t even know when An Yue’s mother was pregnant with your child, yet you have the audacity to come and see An Yue? And you’re asking about An Yue and Chen’s relationship with such an arrogant attitude?
What makes you think you can do that? Where were you when An Yue’s mom gave birth to her? Where were you when An Yue was being bullied by other kids and being called an illegitimate child without parents?
An Qi’s aggressive questioning made Nie Xingzhi panic. As the head of the Nie Group’s think-tank, he had never been as flustered as he was now, even when he was negotiating contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. His mouth opened and closed, but in the end, he failed to make any sound.
It was the first time An Yue had seen An Qi get so angry, and the content of her words was quite shocking. An Yue could not help but tentatively call out, “An Qi…”
An Qi trembled as if she had just realized An Yue was there in the room. She bit her lip lightly. It took her a long time to force these words out of her lips, “Yue Yue, I’m sorry.”
An Yue was stunned. She stood on the spot and did not know what to do.
Zhao Youlin, who had snuck away to call Duan Yarong and the others after hearing Nie Xingzhi’s shocking statement, had just returned to the room.. When she heard An Qi’s equally shocking statement, she frowned and growled, “If you have something to talk about, why can’t you sit down and talk it out
in peace? Why are you shouting at each other? What are you trying to do?”
