257 Qin Canglan’s Anger (3)
Qin Che said seriously, “Father, I’m telling the truth!”
Qin Canglan said angrily, “You’re lying! This jade pendant was clearly sold 30 years ago! Tell me the truth! Who gave it to you!”
Qin Che looked wronged. “Father, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Qin Canglan’s eyes were cold. “The Su family has already investigated clearly. You don’t have to quibble forcefully. The Su family won’t harm me, nor will they wrong Hua Yin’s flesh and blood!”
Qin Che said bitterly, “I don’t know what the Su family is up to… Or perhaps… the Su family has been deceived by someone…”
Qin Canglan said coldly, “I’m not here to listen to your explanation today. I’m just here to tell you that I know.”
His words left no room for negotiation and practically sentenced Qin Che to death on the spot.
Those who achieved great things would always have a decisiveness that ordinary people could not understand.
The day before, they were clearly a loving father and son. In the blink of an eye, he could completely cut off twenty years of nurturing.
Qin Che found it ironic.
Qin Canglan stared at him fixedly. “You were only 16 years old back then. It’s not that I underestimate you, but you don’t have the guts or ability to set up this trap alone. You also know some things about the Protectorate and understand Che’er’s habits. There must be someone behind you. You’d better tell me honestly who that person is.”
Qin Che clenched his fists.
Qin Canglan continued, “You might not know, but Huayin and I had an intense argument over some trivial matters. In a fit of anger, Huayin threatened to take the child away. From then on, he took her surname and she even gave him a name.”
Qin Che lowered his eyes. “I only remember a portion of what happened before I was six years old.”
Qin Canglan ignored what he said. “I should have asked you back then. Do you still remember the name your mother gave you?”
Hearing this, Qin Che suddenly smiled.
“Father… you think I’m fake just because of a name? I remember so many things, but I forgot a name that wasn’t useful at all!”
Qin Canglan said angrily, “Only the three of us know this name!”
Qin Che mocked, “So that person said this name? Who can guarantee that there are no ears that heard this? It might be spread by some servant!”
Qin Canglan frowned. “That person? From the moment I entered the house until now, I didn’t mention that the real Qin Che had appeared.”
Qin Che was stunned!
Qin Canglan’s eyes turned even colder. “You’ve seen him? Did you already know? You… you deliberately sent me away yesterday?”
Qin Che panicked. “Father…”
Qin Canglan stood up and walked towards him step by step. “What did you want to do?”
Qin Che retreated step by step. “Father, listen to me. I… Ah!”
Qin Canglan grabbed his neck.
At this moment, Qin Canglan was already a little strange.
Or rather, from the moment he found out the truth, he was on the verge of collapse.
Now, the string that kept his rationality snapped.
Qin Che felt the aura of death.
He could not believe that his father, who had been with him for 20 years, would really be ruthless to him.
The rumors were right. Qin Canglan was indeed the most cold-blooded and ruthless King Yanluo of Great Zhou.
“Father… you can’t kill me…”
“I… I’m also your… biological son…”

The streets were a little congested today.
The carriage was blocked on the road from time to time.
Su Mo raised the curtain and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Do you want to go to the teahouse?”
“No need,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Mo lowered the curtain.
The carriage was quietly blocking the way. It was noisy all around, and the carriage was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.
Perhaps to break this strange silence, Su Mo said softly, “I told you before that your grandparents have an extremely good relationship.”
“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Mo hesitated and said, “Actually, there’s something I haven’t told you. I overheard it by accident, and I’m not sure if it’s true or not.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Tell me.”
“When Granduncle was young, he used to…”
At this point, Su Mo paused.
Su Xiaoxiao spoke up for him. “Have another woman?”
It was really embarrassing for a man like him to criticize a girl.
Su Mo braced himself and said, “She was my grandfather’s distant cousin. Her family fell and came to the capital to seek refuge with the Qin family. At that time, the Old Madam, your grandfather’s mother, kindly took her in.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Then they got together?”
Su Mo did not admit or deny it. “I don’t know the details, but I heard that Aunt’s cousin suddenly fell ill and was sent to the village by Old Madam to recuperate. She never returned to the capital.”
