Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan were busy when the phone on the desk rang suddenly.Zhang Xiuyan picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Is Yuan Ning here?" Li Yanqiu turned on the speakerphone, so that Mr. Han could clearly hear Yuan Ning's response.

"Yes." Zhang Xiu said concisely.

After a rustling sound, the speaker was replaced by Yuan Ning: "Brother Li?"

Li Yanqiu looked calm, and his voice was also calm: "I have something to ask you." Through the phone, Li Yanqiu's tone was not much different from usual, "Last time you said to pick up your grandpa, it was your own grandpa I mean, is he your mother's real father?"

Yuan Ning's heart skipped a beat.He remembered what happened last night, even if he took the topic away, Li Yanqiu's carefulness might still make him suspicious.Otherwise, Li Yanqiu wouldn't have said that kind of temptation on the way back.Li Yanqiu suddenly asked, did he find something?

Yuan Ning hurriedly covered the microphone, and told Zhang Xiuyan the question Li Yanqiu asked.

Zhang Xiuyan knows that some things cannot be hidden forever.He paused and said, "Tell me the truth."

Zhang Xiuyan reached out and pressed the hands-free button.

Li Yanqiu's clear voice came from the phone, a bit distorted, but still easily recognizable: "Ning Ning, is this question difficult to answer?"

"No." Yuan Ning said, "I'm just surprised that Brother Li suddenly asked you this way. Mom is indeed not grandpa's biological daughter..."

"Don't you wonder who your real grandpa and grandma are?" Li Yanqiu chased after him.

"Not curious." Yuan Ning said frankly.Since he was a child, he only cares about what he has, and he has almost no curiosity about what he doesn't have and what he can't get.Just like the grandfather of the Fang family, before he went to find the grandfather of the Fang family, he would regularly care about the current situation of the grandfather of the Fang family, but he rarely thought of meeting or recognizing the grandfather of the Fang family.

If the grandpa of the Fang family hadn't said that her mother's blood relatives might have been looking for her, Yuan Ning would not have used the jade pendant to ask Mr. Lian for help.Now that she knew that the Han family was not looking for her mother, and that another person had already replaced her mother as the only daughter of the Han family, Yuan Ning naturally couldn't think of recognizing each other.

He has already passed the age of longing for family affection and elder care.

He has more than enough.

Yuan Ning said: "I already have a grandpa and a grandma." Whether it is Fang's grandpa or Xue's grandma, they are all very good people, and they all treat him very well.He didn't know how much Li Yanqiu had guessed, but he still said his thoughts honestly, "Mom is gone, so I don't need to go to them anymore. It's been so many years, maybe they have forgotten my mother long ago."

Li Yanqiu didn't have any expression on his face, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.

It turns out that the people who really should have the things I have worked so hard to get don't care at all.

Li Yanqiu said: "That's it, I'll hang up first."

On the other side, Yuan Ning listened to the busy tone on the phone, put down the phone, and looked at Zhang Xiuyan: "Brother, do you think Brother Li guessed something?"

Zhang Xiuyan said: "It should be." Otherwise, Li Yanqiu would not be so calm when he heard Yuan Ning confess.Zhang Xiuyan thought about Li Yanqiu's tone just now, "Just now he seemed to be urging you to admit that your mother and your grandfather are not related by blood. No matter what, you have to be mentally prepared."

Yuan Ning nodded.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Mr. Han's study became more stagnant.Li Yanqiu sat quietly opposite Mr. Han, without speaking.

The muscles on Mr. Han's cheeks were tense, and his expression changed again and again.

Li Yanqiu said that Ms. Li's attitude towards Yuan Ning was completely different from that of others, but Mr. Han realized that it was true after a while.

He originally thought that this child Yuan Ning was naturally likable, and that it was because Ms. Li loved him so much, so he didn't think about it at all.

Looking back now, did Ms. Li recognize it?

A woman's intuition is sometimes terrifyingly accurate, just like when Ms. Li recognized that her adopted daughter was not their daughter.

Mr. Han's hands trembled slightly.

Ms. Li did the same thing after she knew that her adopted daughter was not her own daughter. She didn't question him or make a scene, but just accepted the reality quietly.He was supposed to be her closest husband, but she had been silently resisting him in her heart—after all, she was married to him like a gift of surrender.

That was a bad start, and he's not the expressive, caring, gentle kind of guy.

She probably recognized Yuan Ning as their grandson.But she remembered that he had forced the eldest son away—remembered that he had watched what happened to his adopted daughter, so even though he wanted to be close so much, she still resisted telling it.

Mr. Han sighed, and looked at Li Yanqiu who was sitting opposite: "Yanqiu, do you also think that I am overbearing and unreasonable?"

Li Yanqiu was silent.

Even if he thought so in his heart, it was impossible to admit it in front of Mr. Han.

Mr. Han understood that he was indeed that kind of person in the hearts of his wife and grandson.

In fact, what he has done for most of his life is indeed worthy of the evaluation of "arbitrary and unreasonable", or why are people calling him "Han Laoyu" overtly and secretly?

Mr. Han stood up and said, "Since you can call him, you should know where he is now, right?"

Li Yanqiu paused, inexplicably thinking of Zhang Xiuyan who was waiting in the snow last night—and the scene of Yuan Ning hugging Zhang Xiuyan and kissing him immediately after being carried into Zhang Xiuyan's arms.

Such intimacy is by no means what ordinary brothers should have.

Mr. Han obviously wanted to see Yuan Ning in person by asking this question, but if he went there rashly now, would he run into something that Mr. Han could not see?

Li Yanqiu hesitated for a moment, and then said truthfully: "I know." He added, "But it's already night..."

"For those who go to work, for those who go to class, everyone is free in the evening." Mr. Han said, "You give me a ride, and I will talk to him first. Whether I am his grandfather or not, I have no reason to hurt him." Him. Are you still afraid that I won't succeed if I eat him?"

Li Yanqiu could only follow Mr. Han downstairs.They didn't disturb Ms. Li, they only told Aunt Su who came out to inquire that they would go out and ask her to take good care of Ms. Li.

Li Yanqiu had just sent Yuan Ning back to Zhang Xiuyan's side last night, and accurately brought Mr. Han to the downstairs of the building last night, and rang the doorbell of Zhang Xiuyan's residence.

Yuan Ning was discussing with Zhang Xiuyan about the exchange meeting, when he heard the bell ring, he froze for a moment, and ran out to open the door.

Seeing Li Yanqiu and Mr. Han standing outside the door, Yuan Ning's head froze.

He originally thought that even if Li Yanqiu guessed it, Mr. Han would not find out so quickly, so he continued to work with Zhang Xiuyan in peace.Unexpectedly, not long after hanging up the phone, Li Yanqiu led Mr. Han to appear in front of him.

In the study, Zhang Xiuyan didn't hear Yuan Ning leading someone in, so he knew something was wrong, so he put on his coat and came out.

Seeing who was standing at the door, Zhang Xiuyan frowned, and pulled Yuan Ning to invite him in.

Zhang Xiuyan asked Mr. Han and Li Yanqiu to sit down, and poured them a glass of water himself.

Mr. Han's gaze has been on Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning is not a liar, his thoughts and emotions are often written on his face.The moment Yuan Ning opened the door, Mr. Han saw it: Not only did his wife recognize Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning also knew that he was the grandson of the Han family - but he didn't want to recognize them at all!

Recalling Yuan Ning's questioning whether he would protect the Li family, Mr. Han's cheeks trembled, and veins appeared slightly on the back of his hands.

If the Li family came to him first to confuse right and wrong and sue him, and he continued to be ignorant, and favored the Li family without knowing it, would it be equivalent to dealing with his own grandson with his own hands?

This kid is very courageous, and his skills are not bad——

I just don't want to recognize him as a grandfather!

Mr. Han's hands shook, and he wanted to curse a few words with a cold face, but finally he calmed down.His gaze turned to Zhang Xiuyan: "You already knew? He doesn't want to recognize the Han family, so you just let him deny it?" Old Master Han's words were sullen, and the air pressure in the whole room dropped accordingly.

Yuan Ning didn't want Mr. Han to blame the entire Zhang family, so he rushed to Zhang Xiuyan and said, "Father, they don't know!"

Mr. Han looked at Yuan Ning.

Li Yanqiu secretly sweated for Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning said: "I just found out about it not too long ago." Yuan Ning looked at Mr. Han without fear, "I went to Mr. Lian with a jade pendant after I came back from my grandfather. I didn't expect Mr. Lian to say He has seen it." He paraphrased what Mr. Lian said at the time.

Mr. Han listened to Yuan Ning without saying a word.

Yuan Ning said: "I haven't figured out what to do, so please don't tell you, Mr. Lian."

Mr. Han said: "If we don't ask you, you won't tell?"

Zhang Xiuyan stood in front of Yuan Ning: "We all know that the only daughter of the Han family married into the Li family." When it comes to Yuan Ning, even Zhang Xiuyan, the old man of Han, is not afraid at all, and will never back down, " I also know that your only grandson is Li Yanqiu. Your grandson takes good care of Ning Ning, what do you think Ning Ning should say? Should Ning Ning happily go to you and tell you that he is your real grandson?"

Li Yanqiu was startled.

He looked at Yuan Ning who lowered his head slightly, and suddenly regretted that he had directly revealed everything in front of Mr. Han.

This kid Yuan Ning is very serious about everything he does, even when interacting with people.No matter what intentions he initially had when approaching Yuan Ning, in Yuan Ning's eyes, he was a very good senior to him—so Yuan Ning's silence when he found out that he might be the grandson of the Han family had nothing to do with his "false grandson". "There is also a certain relationship.

How can such a soft-hearted and pure child adapt to a place like the Han family?

Li Yanqiu moved her lips, wanting to say something, but she still didn't speak.

By now, everything was out of his control.

It took a long time for Mr. Han to recover from Zhang Xiuyan's questioning. He told Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan about the situation at the beginning, and sighed long: "I did this. Not good, I should investigate more carefully. It's just that the situation was very chaotic at the time, and I didn't have much time...it's my fault," Mr. Han stared straight at Yuan Ning, his tone was undeniably tough , "But you are the grandson of the Han family, you must recognize the Han family."
