Chapter 1452: Chapter 1016: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 24 (four thousand)_3
Qi Qi drank a bit too much, and Qi Yong found her words a bit baffling.
"Sis, don’t I already have a son and a daughter? How can you say I have no heir? You’re not getting married, so why do I have to?"
Qi Qi let out a belch from drinking and sneered, "What son and daughter, are they really yours? You’re such a fool for picking that woman back in the day. Neither of them is your child. If it weren’t for the fact that we’ve been raising them all this time and that they might go astray with their biological mother, do you think I’d be the sucker here?"
With those words, both father and son stood up, stunned and incredulous.
"Sis, what did you say? Say it again!"
But Qi Qi was sprawled out on the sofa, muttering incoherently.
Mr. Qi found it hard to accept: "Is what your sister said true? How is that possible?"
Qi Yong crouched on the ground in frustration, his hands buried in his hair, humiliation and pride collapsing simultaneously. He wanted to shake his sister awake for a clear answer.
But Qi Qi was unconscious, and there was nothing they could do but sit on the sofa with her until dawn.
Fortunately, Qi Yang had taken his younger siblings to bed, and Aunt Chen had returned to Wuhan for the New Year. The large living room held only the father, son, and daughter.
Otherwise, such an embarrassing situation would have left Qi Yong unable to lift his head forever.
But on the flip side, he had driven his own mother to suicide. With that blemish on record, he already couldn’t hold his head high — why care about one more?
As the eastern sky lightened, Qi Qi, feeling thirsty, smacked her lips and sat up, rubbing her messy hair.
Seeing her brother there, with stubble grown overnight, she was a bit bewildered.
"Why are you sitting there? Your eye bags are so heavy; didn’t you sleep?"
Mr. Qi had woken up long before, even gone to the kitchen to make porridge. Hearing the noise, he brought over hot milk, handing it to Qi Qi.
"You’re one to talk. You almost worried us to death. First, drink the milk. We have something to ask you."
Qi Qi gave them a strange look, feeling inexplicably uneasy, wanting to check last night’s surveillance footage in the bathroom.
Yet, when she was about to wash up, the two of them simultaneously stopped her.
"Sit down. Honestly confess, Qi Peng and Qi Yue, are they really our children?"
Mr. Qi spoke very directly, lowering his voice deliberately to avoid the children hearing, making Qi Qi realize she’d been found out.
She massaged her throbbing temples: "No wonder they say drinking causes trouble. Such a big secret, and I actually let it slip?"
Father and son glared at her fiercely, showing no intention of letting her go without an explanation. She took a deep breath: "I’ll go upstairs to get you the evidence."
She still kept the DNA documents from back then, well-preserved. When Qi Yong finished looking, his eyes turned red, a sign of looming fury.
But at this moment, Qi Qi gripped his shoulders tightly.
"Let me tell you, you’ve already influenced the children’s future career choices. Don’t do anything foolish. Mom raised the kids, so for that alone, you can’t abandon them. Fortunately, they are now under my name, and they are my children; it’s not related to you anymore, Qi Yong. As long as you take care of yourself and start over, tomorrow will still be sunny. Returning to that bitch out of hatred and ruining your life isn’t worth it."
Isn’t there already enough news of family tragedies? She didn’t want a reformed man to stupidly lose his life.
"So, is that the real reason she paid the money back for me?"
Qi Qi glanced at him: "What did she say? For the last bit of spousal connection? Wanting you to let her and her family go?"
Qi Yong pursed his lips, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. Seeing this, Qi Qi patted his shoulder.
"No matter what, it’s over now. The kids are now mine, having nothing to do with you. From now on, save up money and start your life anew. You and that woman were young and reckless; you both made mistakes, so don’t get tangled in her wrongdoings. Let her go, let her family go, it’s also a way to put a period on these past twenty-odd years. The money you sent for the kids over these years, I’ll return it to you, but I hope you don’t let anything slip. After all, the kids are innocent; they haven’t done anything wrong, have they?"
Qi Yong sighed, turning back to stare at Qi Qi: "Sis, what do you take me for? I know the kids are innocent. Do you think I’d take my anger out on them? And stop saying they are yours; they’re part of the Qi Family. Without even looking at anything else, just because Mom took care of them, I wouldn’t say anything. As for the future, let it be! No expectations."
