Chapter 1403: What If There Is An Illegitimate Child

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xia Xibei was strong enough to have a place in the Qi family.

Ling Xiao’s preparation of a room for Xia Xibei soon made Qi Xin aware of the matter.

Knowing that Xia Xibei was coming back to the Qi family, Qi Xin’s face changed dramatically.

She couldn’t be trying to tell the truth, could she?

“She’s coming over?” Qi Xin asked Ling Xiao, holding back the overwhelming emotions in her heart.

“Yes,” Ling Xiao nodded, “She should be staying here for the night.”

“Isn’t she very busy?” Qi Xin asked with a stiff face.

“She is indeed very busy.” Ling Xiao nodded and continued to direct the maids to set up the room. “But she can come back sometime!”

Come back.

This phrase made Qi Xin’s eyes darken and her heart flutter even more.

However, she did not say anything but revealed a smile.

“But shouldn’t this be handled by auntie? How come it’s keeping you busy?”

Ling Xiao gave her a look. Although her smile was impeccable, how could Ling Xiao not notice the problem?

Ling Xiao looked at her with a serious expression, “Xinxin, no matter how many conflicts you had before, she is your sister, after all. You know your aunt, there is no way she would prepare a room for Beibei.”

So, she could resolve it herself.

Qi Xin blurted out, “She is an illegitimate daughter! Of course aunt doesn’t treat her well!”

What wife wants to see a child born to a mistress? It’s not like she was a moron.

Ling Xiao’s expression changed slightly, “Her ident.i.ty is not her choice. The child is innocent.”

Qi Xin bit her lip, “If dad suddenly has an illegitimate child, you…”

“No,” Ling Xiao interrupted her. “Your father wouldn’t do such a thing. Even if your father did such a thing, I wouldn’t do anything to a child.”

Qi Xin looked at her skeptically.

Ling Xiao smiled confidently, “If your dad did such a thing, I will let him know what is good for him.”

Looking at her smile, Qi Xin couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver and mourn for Qi Zhi’an.

She knew that what Ling Xiao said was true.

Ling Xiao also took the opportunity to educate Qi Xin.

“If an illegitimate child suddenly appears, I will divorce your father. Then, I will take half of the property. As for him, he can do whatever he wants afterward, let him cry about it!”

Qi Xin’s jaw dropped.

She really didn’t know Ling Xiao had such an idea.

This was too spontaneous!

“Don’t you… Love dad?”

“I do love him,” Ling Xiao shrugged, “But when something like this happens, our love is gone.”

Ling Xiao explained, “But you have to know why I treat Beibei differently. Not because she’s your uncle’s illegitimate daughter. Because she saved my life. Besides, her importance is not in her bloodline. Don’t you see that your grandfather doesn’t even care about that?”

With Xia Xibei’s strength, it was enough to obliterate the so-called blood involvement.

No matter whose child Xia Xibei was, as long as she was a child of the Qi family, that was enough.

Even if she was not a child of the Qi family and was willing to join the Qi family, they would welcome it.

Besides, if Yang Wenyin really cared about Qi Zhiqiang, she would have dumped him long ago, when he was fooling around.

Although both sides had interests, so it was hard to divorce, it wasn’t hard to deal with a man.

Since she didn’t interfere with Qi Zhiqiang’s affairs, she didn’t need to be so harsh on a child and just stay above it all.

Ling Xiao, as the matriarch here, certainly had to look at the big picture.

Everyone had their own selfishness, but in this case, she had to put the big picture first.
