Because Fu Yan Ting had hurt Yan Xi with his words out of misunderstanding in his office last time, almost losing Yan Xi completely, now that he had finally managed to trick Yan Xi back, he dared not say anything to anger Yan Xi.
If Yan Xi liked that ugly emerald, he would buy it.
However, there was no way Yan Xi would wear the emerald gifted by He Yun.
Back at the villa, Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting and asked plainly, "Didn't you say I could ask you anything I wanted to know?"
Fu Yan Ting did not respond, his eyes fixed on Yan Xi.
Yan Xi was indeed impatient, starting to ask him so quickly.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and asked, "You said I'm not He Xue Feng's biological daughter. What did you mean by that?"
"It means you are not He Xue Feng's biological daughter, but you are indeed a member of the He family."
Yan Xi was confused by Fu Yan Ting's words, and at the same time, a vague premonition arose in her heart, always feeling that the truth was very cruel.
"Xi Xi, I actually didn't want you to return to the He family. I admit I was selfish, but more than that, I was worried about your safety. The He family is not as simple as you think."
"What do you mean by that?"
Fu Yan Ting had only said this much to Yan Xi, which was as good as saying nothing.
Yan Xi also knew that the He family, like the Yao family, was not simple.
Otherwise, why would people say that entering a wealthy family is like diving into a deep sea?
"Fu Yan Ting, I'm asking you. What did you mean by that just now?"
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting was not responding, Yan Xi became a little impatient and asked again.
Fu Yan Ting's gaze was fixed on Yan Xi. After a long pause, Fu Yan Ting asked, "Are you sure you want to know the truth?"
Yan Xi nodded.
After Fu Yan Ting said that, Yan Xi became even more eager to know the truth.
Fu Yan Ting sighed helplessly.
In fact, he had never told Yan Xi because he didn't want her to be hurt by the truth.
Fu Yan Ting's refusal to tell Yan Xi was also a way to protect her.
But now that Yan Xi wanted to know, Fu Yan Ting knew very well that secrets couldn't be kept forever, and Yan Xi would eventually find out.
Since that was the case, he might as well choose to tell Yan Xi. kuAiδugg
Fu Yan Ting sighed and said, "Actually, you are the biological daughter of Old Mr. He. By seniority, you shouldn't be He Yun's sister. He Yun should call you aunt."
Yan Xi was astonished.
How could this be possible?
Fu Yan Ting must be joking.
"Fu Yan Ting, don't joke with me like this. It's not funny at all."
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting, her whole body trembling, scared by the truth.
Fu Yan Ting knew that Yan Xi could not accept this fact.
But in order not to let Yan Xi be exploited by the Yao and He families, Fu Yan Ting had to harden his heart and tell Yan Xi the truth.
Although the truth was cruel, Yan Xi should have grown up.
Yan Xi should have the right to know the truth.
"Xi Xi, I know you can't accept it, but what I'm telling you is true."
Back then, when He Xue Feng was studying at Kyoto University, he fell in love at first sight with Yao Wan Qi, and they started dating.
However, Yao Wan Qi's biological father, Old Mr. Yao, did not want Yao Wan Qi to be with He Xue Feng.
He wanted Yao Wan Qi to seduce Fu Yan Ting's biological father, Fu Wen Bo, to blackmail the Fu family and obtain their fortune, thereby solidifying their status in Kyoto.
After Yao Wan Qi was drugged, she inadvertently had a relationship with Old Mr. He.
Both Old Mr. He and Old Mr. Yao coveted the Fu family's fortune. They conspired to frame Fu Wen Bo.
At that time, Fu Wen Bo had just married Liu Qian, Fu Yan Ting's mother.
They had no emotional foundation; their marriage was arranged by their parents.
Fu Yan Ting was also just a newborn.
After Fu Wen Bo was exposed for having an affair, Liu Qian lost face, her depression recurred, and she chose to commit suicide.
After Liu Qian's suicide, the Liu family pressured Fu Wen Bo. To avoid implicating the Fu family, Fu Wen Bo also eventually chose to commit suicide.
Yan Xi had always known that the Yao family, the Fu family, and the He family were related.
But Yan Xi never expected that the truth would be so cruel.
She never imagined that so many people's love and lives would be sacrificed just for money.
Yan Xi didn't know what to do for a moment, nor did she know how to comfort Fu Yan Ting.
She and Fu Yan Ting were both victims of this conspiracy.
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting, suddenly not knowing how to comfort him.
Her mother was from the Yao family, and her father was from the He family.
And Fu Yan Ting's biological parents were killed by the He and Yao families working together.
Although Yan Xi had never harmed Fu Yan Ting, at this moment, seeing Fu Yan Ting, Yan Xi felt immensely guilty.
If it weren't for her, perhaps Fu Yan Ting wouldn't be so pained.
"Fu Yan Ting, I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry."
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting and suddenly apologized.
"You did nothing wrong. They are the ones who are wrong. Why are you apologizing to me?"
Fu Yan Ting had always been clear about this.
Therefore, even after knowing Yan Xi's background, he did not hold it against her.
"Xi Xi, you really don't need to feel sorry for me. This has nothing to do with you. Whether it's you or me, or Yao Wan Qi and He Xue Feng, we are all victims of this conspiracy."
"Fu Yan Ting, then why are you interacting with them..."
"You have business dealings, right?"
Before Yan Xi could finish her sentence, Fu Yan Ting interrupted her. In fact, Fu Yan Ting could see through Yan Xi's thoughts with just a glance.
"After I discovered their conspiracy, I began to have business dealings with them. One reason was that knowing yourself and your enemy allows for a hundred victories. Another was that by dealing with them in this way, I could lower their guard. They thought I knew nothing, but little did they know, I already knew everything."
"Then what are your plans? Are you going to continue to deal with them like this?"
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting, suddenly not knowing how to comfort him.
Knowing that they were the murderers of his parents, but Fu Yan Ting could not expose them, he could only bide his time, maintain good relations with them. He must be in great pain.
"Xi Xi, are you worried about me?"
Fu Yan Ting did not answer Yan Xi's question but looked at her and asked back.
Yan Xi did not expect Fu Yan Ting to suddenly ask her that. She froze, wanting to deny it, but when her eyes met Fu Yan Ting's, Yan Xi softened her heart.
Fu Yan Ting telling her the truth was also like reopening a wound in his heart. He must be very sad too.
