Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: I Am Dad, Not Mom
“Shut your mouth, and if I hear another word from you that shouldn’t be heard, I’ll cut off your tongue.”
So what if he had said that?
He was the one who fired that shot, and Qin Youxuan couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened.
Letting Qin Youxuan know the truth ant that every ti she saw her son afterward, she would be reminded of that scene.
When Tingye grew up, he would also know that his life was exchanged for his grandfather’s, and he wasn’t the only one suffering.
“Waa—”
The little fellow in the bed suddenly realized he had left his mother’s arms and burst into loud cries.
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered, and he stepped forward to pick him up.
“Daddy is here.”
“Burp—”
Hearing Dan Hanjie’s voice imdiately cald the little one down.
He spat out two milk bubbles and yawned with his mouth open.
Peeking through his dark, glossy eyes, he glanced at Dan Hanjie, then nuzzled his head against his chest.
He bit down on the clothes on his chest.
“I’m Daddy, not Mommy.”
Dan Hanjie watched the child’s instinctive movents, a few lines of frustration forming on his forehead.
“I’ll go make so milk for the young master right away.”
Yao imdiately turned and went to find the maternity matron.
Tingye had just finished feeding and rubbed a couple of tis out of habit; his head tilted and he fell asleep again.
Dan Hanjie held his son and stepped toward the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out over the yard of the villa.
Without Qin Youxuan, the villa felt empty.
The man’s silhouette was elongated by the setting sun, looking desolate and lonely.
…
Ye Zhanxing’s funeral was arranged for the next day.
All the trivial matters were managed by Su Yiru, who seed frail but beca incredibly strong after learning of Ye Zhanxing’s death. Instead of collapsing, she found strength.
On the other hand, Ye Mingi fainted several tis in front of the spirit hall.
Ye Zhanxing died in an explosion, and his body was obliterated. Only his clothes could be placed in the coffin, creating a cenotaph.
On the day of the funeral, the weather was overcast.
The chief mourner was Qin Youxuan.
This was also Su Yiru’s idea.
The thing Ye Zhanxing had been most concerned about in his life was to acknowledge Qin Youxuan officially. He didn’t get the chance to announce this at the wedding, so after his death, Su Yiru wanted to fulfill this wish for him.
Even though there was much gossip from the Ye family elders, Su Yiru took it upon herself to allow Qin Youxuan to send off Ye Zhanxing for the last journey in the capacity of an eldest daughter of the Ye family.
The funeral was simple, but many people ca to offer condolences. Most were relatives of the Ye family and business partners.
Seeing Ye Mingi standing aside while Qin Youxuan acted as chief mourner surprised everyone, but they quickly pretended nothing was amiss.
The funeral ended, and rumors abounded.
Everyone began spreading gossip that Qin Youxuan was the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family.
Dan Hanjie wanted to use Qin Youxuan to seize control of the Ye family’s assets and had killed Ye Zhanxing to take over the entire Ye Corporation.
Reacting to the scandal, he ultimately didn’t show up for Ye Zhanxing’s funeral.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the Chinese Business Circle.
“It was Ru’s oversight; she fulfilled your father’s dream but caused you distress. Don’t worry, I will soon issue a statent to clarify my relationship with your father, so your mother won’t suffer in vain.”
Su Yiru held Ye Zhanxing’s photograph, wiping it repeatedly.
After placing the photograph on the altar, she turned and took Qin Youxuan’s hand.
Qin Youxuan had cried all day, her tears already dried, staring blankly at the black and white photo on the altar, her eyes red.
“No need, Dad’s no longer with us, and he will explain everything to Mom himself down below. The Ye family needs Ru now. If you reveal your relationship with Dad, the Ye family might change hands soon.”
