Outside, He Jinxuan heard Xinyan crying and got a bit anxious, wanting to step forward.
But just as he lifted his foot, he was stopped by Su Jingsong: "Mr. He, don’t worry, nothing will happen."
He Jinxuan looked at Su Jingsong, and then he realized he was one of the people pulled out from the buried car that day. He thought of something and turned to look at Zhang Libing, who was blocking the Yu Family, and now he understood.
The person inside wasn’t an ordinary person; no wonder this comrade could call his name, they must have already investigated them.
Han Jingchen comforted her for a while, then Xinyan finally stopped crying. She felt a bit embarrassed, as it was indeed awkward to cry like that the first time meeting her biological father.
But in Han Jingchen’s eyes, it showed the child must have suffered quite a lot over the years to feel so wronged as to cry.
Han Jingchen saw his daughter acknowledged him and stopped crying: "Young lady, let’s handle the matter in the courtyard first, and then we can catch up about the past."
Xinyan nodded, realizing she had to deal with the Yu Family first to avoid further disgust.
Han Jingchen asked, "What’s on your mind?"
Xinyan knew that her biological father could find her accurately, indicating he’s not a simple person: "You’ve surely investigated the Yu Family matters, I’ve already signed the breakup letter with them and don’t intend to have any more dealings."
Han Jingchen was reassured by his daughter’s words: "You don’t need to worry about this; I’ll take care of it."
The father and daughter exchanged a look, then stepped out of the courtyard one after the other.
Han Jingchen walked out with a stern face and looked at the Yu Family: "I heard you adopted my daughter?"
Yu’s mother was too guilty to raise her head, so Yu Shuosheng replied, "Yes, we raised her for nineteen years."
Han Jingchen took a step forward, staring at Yu Shuosheng with a mocking smile: "I can’t agree with that; Xinyan is only eighteen now, where did the nineteen years come from?
Besides, I heard Xinyan started collecting firewood, digging wild vegetables, and doing housework when she was very young, is that true?"
Yu Shuosheng responded to the question, "That’s how it is with every kid in the village."
Han Jingchen’s face turned colder, "You have another daughter younger than Xinyan, did she come up the same way?"
Yu Shuosheng glanced at Yu Erlili standing nearby and quickly found a rebuttal reason: "The family’s condition wasn’t good, Xinyan wanted to study, so she had to do more work, that’s what she agreed to. It wasn’t easy for the family to support her schooling."
Han Jingchen’s face turned even colder, initially wanting to leave them some dignity, but now it seemed unnecessary: "Xinyan started school late, yet she skipped grades, and her grades were excellent. She topped her class every year in both elementary and middle school. Her scholarship every year was enough to cover her tuition and fees. In high school, because of her outstanding grades, she was exempt from tuition and fees. How can you shamelessly say it was your family who funded her schooling?"
Granny Zhang stepped forward: "The Yu Family really has no shame. The leftover money after paying tuition, didn’t it end up in your family’s pocket? Not to mention that after she started high school, because Xinyan kept me company, you even got five yuan a month. How can you claim it was your family funding her schooling?"
Granny Zhang thought of what the Yu family did and felt still indignant: "To save your youngest son, you forcibly stopped Xinyan, who had such good grades, from attending school and even found a second-marriage man to marry her off to. You are truly unconscionable.
Despite signing the breakup letter before, you still have the audacity to come and try to extort again; your faces are really thick."
While Granny Zhang berated the Yu Family, Han Jingchen whispered a few words to Zhang Libing, who then turned and left through the main gate.
The matter of Xinyan was known to many around, and now that it was brought to light, there were curses all around.
Yu’s mother felt she could just die; truly, she hadn’t chosen an auspicious day to come out.
Wan Rongjuan knew today would not end well; she looked at Xinyan: "Xinyan, we indeed were wrong, we were too greedy. Rest assured, it won’t happen in the future. For the sake of the years we’ve lived under the same roof, please spare us."
