Chapter 3 Substitute Marriage

The door of the living room was ajar, but now it was pushed open by Xena. The three people who had quarreled just now instantly quieted down.

Xena fixed her eyes on Xu Nianyuan, "Dad, you... Should you give me an explanation?"

Xu Nianyuan didn't expect Xena to appear. He looked away and turned his head.

"There's nothing to explain. I married your mother and gave birth to the twins, you and Langston, because of my friend's dying wish!"

Curling her lips, Ke Xinlan said, "After your mother dies, I had been taken Qian back to my own home and raise you, the troublesome little bastard!"

"Enough! Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Nianyuan patted the table and looked at Xena, "Xena, it's not what you think. Back then, I..."

"No need to explain. I heard it clearly." With tears in her eyes, Xena asked Xu Nianyuan directly, "Now please tell me, who is my father?"

It was the first time that he had called her "Xena". He always called her Xena Xu.

No wonder Xu Nianyuan, who was regarded as their biological father, beat and scolded them from time to time over the years.

It turned out that they did not belong to this family...

After hesitating for a while, Xu Nianyuan shook his head and said, "He's one of my friends. He's gone, so he asked me to take care of you."

"Name. I want to know his name." Xena's heart ached so much that her clenched hands turned pale.

"I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone about it!" Xu Nianyuan cleared his throat and said, "Xena, it's all over. Your biological father has died. I have raised you two for so many years. Now, I have something to ask you for help!"

"Let me marry the third young master of the Ye clan instead of Qian?"

Xena felt extraordinarily funny. She looked at Xu Nianyuan sarcastically, "If you want me to replace her, will others agree if they knew it? The Ye clan has specifically asked for the first daughter of the Xu clan!"

Raising her chin arrogantly, Ke Xinlan said, "It's not difficult. I just need some connections to modify Qian's date of birth. It's easy."

While speaking, she lowered her head and blew her fingernails. She warned Xena gloomily, "Someone has been eating and drinking for free in the Xu clan for so many years and doesn't want to make any contribution. If I was careless and forgot to pay the medical fees on time to Langston, what would the result be?"

Qian nodded and swaggered, "Yes, you have eaten and drunk for so long. Now it's time to repay our family!"

"You…" Xena was extremely angry. Thinking of her brother who was seriously injured and waiting for treatment, she had to yield to the threat of Ke Xinlan. "Okay, I'll marry him!"

After uttering these words, Xena left the living room out of control and rushed back to her room to cover her face and cry.

In the living room, Xu Nianyuan looked at Ke Xinlan worriedly. "Langston is not easy to deal with. He disappeared mysteriously in the hospital that night. What if he comes back one day?"

"By that time, Xena will have been married. What else can he do?"

Raising her eyebrows complacently, Ke Xinlan continued, "Besides, the Ye clan is rich and powerful. If that third young master were not a cripple, do you think I would be willing to let Xena marry him? Such a good marriage, she can be considered a social climber!"

Xu Nianyuan sighed slightly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. It was my fault to the Ye clan that year. I shouldn't have done that when they were down. Now he wants us to fulfill our promise of being engaged with each other. He wants revenge!"

"As long as he doesn't take revenge on Qian, who cares how he will do it!" Ke Xinlan didn't care about that at all. She held Qian's hand and walked out of the living room. "Let's go, Qian. I'll take you to the beauty salon!"
