Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1178 - 1156: Yongyong’s Background Revealed (Part 4)
"Years ago, General Qin and I went undercover in a drug cartel in Southeast Asia. General Qin was my colleague, my friend, my superior, and also my brother. After the mission failed, he sacrificed his life to save me. He is an eternal benefactor that I can never repay in this lifetime. Yongyong was born overseas, and due to fate, she was adopted by the Longding Society, but the Qin Family blood flows in her veins and cannot be changed. She was merely raised by the Longding Society and has no ties with them. What I can do is to gain public recognition for the last descendant of General Qin, letting everyone know that Yongyong is a true noble lady from a prestigious family, deserving of anyone. The honor of marrying the granddaughter of the Qin Family is ours, the Ning Family. I will also soon contact the Qin Family and let Yongyong reunite with her uncles and regain her title as a true Qin Family inheritance, inheriting the legacy left by General Qin."
Ning Xiaochuan narrated every single word to the media below.
After finishing the last word, his assistant stepped forward: "Alright, this concludes today’s press conference."
The reporters still had many questions, rumored that back then, Qin Xiaopei was captured by the drug cartel, how could she give birth to Qiao Yongyong, and who was the child’s father... So many mysteries!
The assistants moved forward to handle the subsequent matters.
Qiao Yongyong returned backstage in a daze, unsure how she got there.
In the lounge, Nie Yixiao looked at her pale, bloodless face, knowing she hadn’t yet recovered, solemnly ordered: "Send the young lady home first."
An assistant approached, intending to escort Qiao Yongyong away, but she just stared directly at Ning Xiaochuan.
God knew how much she wanted to return to Mexico and ask her brother what was going on.
But given the current circumstances, asking Ning Xiaochuan would be more convenient.
Ning Xiaochuan knew she had many questions, sighed: "Everyone, leave us."
The assistants withdrew one by one.
The backstage lounge was left with only three people.
"Yongyong, I know it’s hard for you to accept all at once. But this is the truth. I’m sorry, maybe I should have told you before the press conference, but I genuinely didn’t know how to start." Ning Xiaochuan looked at her, his gaze firm.
"Why... why am I part of the Qin Family? If so, why was I raised in the Longding Society? Also, you said Qin Xiaopei is my biological mother? But that day at the gravestone I saw her age; she was only in her teens when she died, how could she have had a child? Tell me, what’s happening?" She held back her trembling voice due to the excitement.
Ning Xiaochuan restrained his reminiscent sigh: "After General Qin sacrificed himself in the undercover drug mission, his wife and daughter went missing. We searched for years and found no traces, believing the drug cartel killed them out of revenge and destroyed the bodies. I always thought they were gone and thus created a cenotaph for them, burying it with General Qin. Until recently, on the day of Yixiao and Gan Ying’s engagement, your brother called me from Mexico... He told me back then, indeed, the drug cartel had captured the mother and daughter, your grandmother and biological mother, but instead of killing them, they were held captive. Your grandmother was already unwell before being imprisoned and died within two years. So only your biological mother remained, continued being held captive."
Qiao Yongyong trembled, subconsciously curled her nails into her palm: "So, you’re saying my biological mother gave birth to me while held captive by the drug cartel?"
Ning Xiaochuan nodded: "Miss Qin had you in the seventh year of captivity when she was twenty-four. Due to excessive blood loss during childbirth, she damaged her health and soon passed away."
A young lady from a general’s family, held captive by enemies, what kind of torment she might have suffered, Qiao Yongyong didn’t dare to imagine...
Particularly, Qin Xiaopei was only seventeen when imprisoned, so young!
A beautiful, charming girl whose allure might have moved men... It’s obvious what she might have experienced!
Qin Xiaopei was forced to have her! She must have been raped by the drug cartel!
Her eyes were red: "Then who is my father?"
She feared imagining her father as a beast.
Ning Xiaochuan’s gaze revealed an inexplicable light but quickly faded as if nothing happened: "I don’t know."
She couldn’t hold back a sting of bitterness and tears flowed down.
She was foolish to even ask who her biological father was, having grown up in a Mafia gang, knowing how heartless their men can be when violent.
Back then, Qin Xiaopei was just a trapped lamb, her cries for help unheard, unheeded, and the man who violated her... there might have been more than one, who knows who got her pregnant?
She restrained her emotions: "Then how did I end up growing up in the Longding Society?"
"The global influence of the Longding Society has always been extensive, even respected by the drug cartel in Southeast Asia back then. Thus, the year your brother had business with the cartel in Southeast Asia, serendipitously saw you still in diapers, perhaps found you adorable and endearing, and decided to adopt you, raising you as the society’s young lady."
She asked no more, biting her pale lip.
Perhaps her brother never intended to tell her about her lineage.
Now Brother wishes to fulfill her by letting her and Nie Yixiao be together, thus revealing her background to Ning Xiaochuan. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
She finally understood why Ning Xiaochuan preferred offending the Gan Family to allow her marriage with Brother Yixiao, and treated her like his own daughter, not only because he and her grandfather were old friends, but he owed an immense favor to her grandfather.
Until Nie Yixiao embraced her, she felt a surge of strength, slightly energized.
"Yongyong, rest assured, I’ll always take care of you on behalf of your grandfather." Ning Xiaochuan sighed.
That day, Qiao Zonghan called him, stopping the Ning and Gan engagement, letting Yongyong marry Nie Yixiao, he did not hesitate.
Only by letting Qiao Yongyong marry into the Ning Family as their young lady could he truly take care of her, a benefactor’s granddaughter, in the days ahead.
"Send the young lady to the car, leave through the back door of the hotel, there are still likely lots of reporters at the front entrance." Nie Yixiao raised his voice.
Qiao Yongyong, however, was reluctant to leave his embrace.
He gently rubbed her hair: "Be good, I’ll be right out."
Only then did she obediently follow the assistant out.
The lounge was left with just the father and son.
Nie Yixiao looked at Ning Xiaochuan, the gentleness he showed toward Qiao Yongyong vanished, his tone stern: "You held back a part of the story when speaking to Yongyong."
Ning Xiaochuan was taken aback, glanced at his son, who had his hands casually in his trouser pockets, his eyes sharp as blades that seemed to see through everything.
