Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 802: Chapter 802: He Has Never Committed a Sin in His Life

Qiao Xi glanced at the gray-haired Cheng Han, hesitating slightly.

She had always been a straightforward person, but now she stammered, "How is Aunt Qing’s health?"

Cheng Qingnian was even older than her mother, so she felt it was not very polite to call her by name.

Thus, everyone in the Huo Family referred to her as Aunt Qing.

Cheng Han immediately saw that she was hiding something: "She is recovering. The time she spends unconscious is not as long as before. Her emotions have stabilized somewhat, but she still doesn’t recognize people. You need to assist with acupuncture by her side, the two of us working together will help her recover faster."

Perhaps it was because Cheng Qingnian had been moved to a quieter environment and had Cheng Han by her side.

Her recovery pace was already quite good, and there was hope that one day she could recognize her family.

Qiao Xi nodded, her heart heavy.

She then indirectly asked, "Do you think Aunt Qing still has feelings for Lu Bannong? Once she regains consciousness, will she look for Lu Bannong again?"

The power of a love-struck mind is significant.

Cheng Han obviously had a guilty conscience about his daughter, loving and hating her simultaneously.

Cheng Han looked at her and said, "You don’t need to test me; just say what you have to say."

Qiao Xi bit her lip, as if making a major decision, "Grandpa Cheng, I’ve been hiding something from you. Actually, Aunt Qing had a daughter with Lu Bannong back then. That child is still alive. Based on her age, she’d be twenty-eight this year..."

"What!"

Cheng Han was indeed caught off guard.

He was always calm, but now he was somewhat flustered.

"Where is she? Has she been abused by that beast? Or..." Twenty-eight, such a sensitive age.

Qiao Xi steeled herself and said, "She’s Lu Yingxue! Lu Bannong raised her, an illegitimate daughter, as a legitimate one. He tells everyone she’s the daughter of the He Family’s eldest daughter. The He Family still supports the Lu Family to this day."

Although the He Family is a family of scholars, they are highly respected.

The students from the He Family have excelled in various fields, providing Lu Bannong with a lot of conveniences.

In the current situation, apart from the deceased eldest daughter, no one in the He Family knows the true origins of Lu Yingxue! Lu Bannong, the lurking wolf in Zhong Mountain, has been drinking their blood, eating their flesh, leaving nothing behind.

Cheng Han remained silent for a long time.

Lu Yingxue!

She is Qingnian’s daughter.

That makes her his granddaughter! A blood relative!

He was a bit dazed, "Could it... be a mistake?"

"Paternity tests have been repeatedly confirmed, it’s not a mistake. Moreover... Lu Yingxue’s cousin also sent a recording to confirm it. Her mother, Lu Yutong, is aware."

Cheng Han remembered the name, Lu Yutong.

She was the best friend of his daughter, and if it hadn’t been for Yutong’s matchmaking, Lu Bannong might not have had the chance to get close to Qingnian.

"Grandpa Cheng, Lu Yingxue is truly your blood relative. This should have been told to you earlier, but seeing your health so frail and unable to bear the shock, we thought to delay. But it has dragged on till now..."

"Why are you telling me now?"

Cheng Han found it hard to accept that Lu Yingxue turned out to be his granddaughter, what a twist of fate!

Qiao Xi’s voice was very soft as she said, "Because something else happened in the Zhong Family’s ancestral hall. Lu Yingxue’s affair with Zhong Lingxiao was exposed by us, with photos and videos. Ayi and I planned to destroy the Lu Family through Lu Yingxue."

She did it! noveldrama

But whether the news would spread was still under control.

Qiao Xi continued, "Zhong Lingxiao is a married man, yet she proclaims she’ll remain single for life, dedicating herself to medicine, while privately involved with Zhong Lingxiao. Being two-faced like this is despicable. As soon as this spreads, Lu Yingxue’s reputation will be ruined."

But Lu Yingxue is related by blood to Cheng Han.

She wanted to seek the old man’s opinion. If he couldn’t bear it, they’d withdraw and find another way.

Cheng Han was stunned by the news, unable to regain his composure.

He had once thought, if his daughter had survived, she should be married with children by now. Perhaps the little granddaughter born would be as sensible and obedient as Qiao Xi, to whom he could pass on all his knowledge.

What an irony!

He did indeed have a granddaughter.

And she was known as a leader in the Chinese Medicine Community!

A living Bodhisattva in the eyes of ordinary people in the Imperial Capital, the esteemed Lu Yingxue!

A genius who won the top prize at the acupuncture trial at eighteen!

Yet her mind was venomous, her hands stained with blood.

Every move and word mirrored Lu Bannong as if cast from the same mold.

How ironic!

He, Cheng Han, had committed no sins in his life!

Cheng Han’s voice was old and tinged with some helplessness: "You tell me all this, aren’t you afraid I’ll ask you to spare Lu Yingxue?"

"I’m giving you a choice, not wanting you at your age to have any regrets. You deserve to know the truth. We are planning to act against Lu Yingxue and Lu Bannong. But there are other ways to deal with them. However, secrets can’t be kept forever... Once things escalate, perhaps your relationship with Lu Yingxue will be exposed."

Qiao Xi felt it a bit cruel, "Everyone will know Lu Yingxue is an illegitimate child, and her mother is your daughter. You might get stained over this in your life... After much thought, I decided to tell you. The choice from now on is yours!

If you are willing, we’ll expose according to the plan. If you’re not, we won’t attack Lu Yingxue’s reputation."

But the outcomes are the same.

Qiao Xi’s bottom line is to get justice for Grandma.

Different methods, but she will ensure Lu Yingxue receives her due punishment.

Cheng Han could hear her determination.

His face was full of fatigue: "Give me some time, I’ll give you an answer."

"Grandpa Cheng, you don’t need to consider us too much. Just make a decision that follows your heart... previously when we said you’d testify against Lu Bannong, you can reconsider that too. The information is still with us, others might not dare to release it due to the Zhong Family’s influence."

Qiao Xi initially didn’t want to make things difficult for him, but things had developed to this point, and what shouldn’t have been difficult now was.

Not everyone has the heart to sacrifice kin for the greater good.

Perhaps Grandpa Cheng had no interactions with Lu Yingxue, but he would consider Cheng Qingnian’s feelings. If Qingnian wakes up and discovers her daughter was ruined by her own father, would she go mad again?

Qiao Xi looked at his increasingly aged face and said, "Think it over, I’ll head downstairs. There’s no rush, the initiative is on our side, and you can take as long as you need to decide. This should have been discussed with you earlier. But today, dealing with Zhong Lingxiao required using certain means..."

She felt a bit guilty, having left such a dilemma to an old man.

But at this point, it depended on his decision.

Cheng Han watched her back, several words rolling in his throat for a long time.

Eventually, he spoke them aloud.

"Miss Qiao, I’ve made up my mind."
