When they returned home, it was almost twelve o’clock.

At home, Qiao Yanjue was still waiting for them to come back.

With Xia Xibei’s strength, nothing would happen. Even if something did happen, she could still take care of it. Besides, she did favors for both Ling Xiao and Qi Zhi’an, so nothing should happen.

However, Qiao Yanjue still couldn’t help but worry.

The Qi family was different from their family; the Qi family had too many people.

When there were too many people, it was easy to get into trouble.

He couldn’t sleep until he saw Xia Xibei.

After waiting for a long time, he finally heard them come back.

Qiao Yanjue showed a bright smile, which quickly disappeared.

“What’s wrong? Why does your face look so weird?” He immediately rushed up. “What happened?”

Xia Xibei’s face didn’t look too good. Her expression was serious, her eyes were downcast, and there was no cheerfulness at all.

Qiao Yanjue looked at his mother again, who also looked bewildered, like she was sleepwalking.

What was this?

Liu Yiqin sighed, “Let Beibei explain this to you. I can’t figure it out either.”

She was still dizzy, as too many things had happened tonight, and she still hadn’t come back to her senses yet.

After all, this was Xia Xibei’s private business, and she couldn’t interfere too much.

“Hmm?” Qiao Yanjue immediately looked at Xia Xibei, wanting to check her for anything wrong. “What’s going on?”

Xia Xibei lifted her head to look at him, “Something happened.”

“What is it?”

“I… I may not be my mother’s daughter.”

This statement made Qiao Yanjue freeze. What did she mean, not her mother’s daughter?

He was not stupid at all, but he didn’t understand Xia Xibei’s meaning.

However, he did not rush to continue asking questions. He pulled Xia Xibei to the sofa to sit down, let her calm down a bit, and only then continued to ask for information.

Liu Yiqin, on the other hand, went back to her room in a trance.

After a while, Xia Xibei finally fully recovered and opened her mouth to explain the whole thing.

Qiao Yanjue’s expression also changed with her explanation.

By the end, he was dumbfounded.

“So… You’re a child of the Qi family?!”

Qiao Yanjue was stunned. What was all this?!

She went to a party and ended up finding out that there was something wrong with her paternity?

Qiao Yanjue knew that Xia Xibei’s life was bumpy, but never thought that it could be this bumpy!

“I should be,” Xia Xibei nodded. “They said it with conviction, so I don’t think they would lie to me about such things.”

Besides, the Qi family didn’t need to lie to her.

Although her talent and strength were strong, the Qi family was a large family, much stronger than her alone.

“So, do you know who your real parents are yet?”

“Not sure,” Xia Xibei shook her head. “They are ready to do the paternity test. After the test, we should know.”

“And what do you think?”

“I think… There’s a story here.”

Xia Xibei rubbed her forehead, a little tired.

Although she had strong willpower, this kind of thing was too complicated, and she was also tired.

“There’s a story?” Qiao Yanjue was surprised. “What are you thinking?”

Xia Xibei recounted the story from tonight, “They said Ling Xiao is my mother, but Ling Xiao hasn’t shown up for so many years, even when I’ve had such a miserable time by myself. However, as soon as I arrived at Qi’s house tonight, she sent a message telling Qi Zhiqiang to be nice to me… Hah!”

Even if she was a three-year-old child, she wouldn’t believe such nonsense!
