Other than that, he also had another purpose. He wanted to use Ling Xiaoqi to help him.

When Qin Fangde first learned that he had a daughter out of wedlock, he was disappointed but also a little glad.

He was glad that he, who thought that he was going to have no children, would still have a bloodline. Although Ling Xiaoqi was not a son, a daughter also brought benefits to the table.

She would be easy to control, and she would not cause trouble easily. If there was anything, she had to rely on herself and he did not have to worry that she would grow wings and break away from his control.

Most importantly, he could also use her to form a marriage alliance and strengthen his bloodline.

Long before he came, Qin Fangde had already chosen a suitable marriage partner for Ling Xiaoqi from the various young talents in City C.

When the two of them got married, the strength of his lineage would increase greatly. In another one or two years, his grandson would be born.

He was only in his early fifties now. It would not be a problem for him to stay in his current position for another ten to twenty years.

When that time came, he could hand the company over to his grandson instead of his nephews!

It had to be said that although Ling Xiaoqi had never met her scumbag father before, they were still father and daughter.

Just from the information that Su Yayan and Qin Fangde had given her, she had already gotten a rough idea of Qin Fangde’s thoughts.

It was indeed impossible for Qin Fangde to hand over all the things that he had painstakingly obtained to Ling Xiaoqi. He was a very traditional man who was extremely sexist.

If his son was still around, it was absolutely impossible for him to bring Ling Xiaoqi back and acknowledge her before their ancestors at the altar. Even the fact that he was going to hand over the company to his grandson in the future made him a little uncomfortable.

But so what? He could no longer have children in this life. Without Ling Xiaoqi, he really had no hope for the rest of his life.

Even so, in his eyes, whether it was Ling Xiaoqi or that illusory grandson, they were just chess pieces that he held in his hands when he needed them. From the beginning, he had never considered them to be family, let alone spare a thought about their father-daughter relationship.

If Su Yayan knew what he was thinking, she would definitely smash him in the face with a big iron pot and make sure he didn’t hurt her best friend.

Huo Chenhuan had attended the shareholders’ meeting of the Huo Corporation.

He did not say anything when he came back, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a good mood.

His good mood meant that Huo Qihan was definitely not in a good mood.

Su Yayan was now treating the misfortune of this family as a joke. Every now and then, she would hear people talking about what kind of joke this family had made.

However, Su Yayan never expected that…

“Huo Shaofeng wants to see me?”

“Yes, Mr. Huo is downstairs right now. He said he won’t go back until he sees you. Do you want someone to kick him out?”

Because of Huo Chenhuan, Uncle Zhang did not have a good impression of Huo Qihan’s family. In addition, he knew about the messy matters between Su Yayan and Huo Shaofeng, so he was even more wary of this person.

However, no matter how much he hated this person, he could not chase him away without asking his master’s opinion. That was why he came up to ask Su Yayan for her opinion.

Su Yayan reached out her hand to touch her small but clearly pregnant belly. After thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, “I’ll go down to see him…”

Uncle Zhang was shocked. “But you…”

“Call a few more people over. Don’t let him get close to me.”

Uncle Zhang understood and immediately went to make arrangements.

When Su Yayan went down, there was quite a big lineup. Four or five bodyguards in black stood in front of her. It went without saying that they were on guard against Huo Shaofeng.

Huo Shaofeng did not have the time to be angry about this. Instead, he focused all his attention on Su Yayan’s stomach.

“You’re pregnant?”
