Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1179 - 1157: Do You Know Who Yongyong’s Biological Father Is
Seeing his father hesitate, Nie Yixiao was even more certain of his suspicion: "You know who Yongyong’s biological father is, don’t you?"
Ning Xiaochuan’s expression slightly tensed as he tried to keep his tone calm: "That’s not important. What’s important is that Yongyong is the daughter of a general’s family in China, and that’s enough."
Nie Yixiao furrowed his handsome eyebrows slightly, his mind as clear as a mirror, and curled his thin lips: "The man who got Qin Xiaopei pregnant back then wasn’t just a small fry in the drug cartel. He was a big figure in the Mafia Gang, wasn’t he?"
Ning Xiaochuan knew that with his intelligence, he had already guessed who Yongyong’s biological father was. He took a deep breath: "Letting Yongyong know who her biological father is isn’t necessarily a good thing. Why burden her with another worry? Isn’t it good now? She’s recognized by her ancestors and has restored her identity as the Qin family’s young lady. No one looks down on her anymore, so why bring up past matters? I’m not going to talk about this anymore, and for Yongyong’s sake, you shouldn’t either."
Nie Yixiao’s eyes moved but he said nothing more.

In the days following the press conference, the entire city was abuzz with news about the inspiring recognition of Qin Shangjiang’s descendants by the family.
In order to protect Qin Xiaopei’s reputation and prevent further inquiries into Qiao Yongyong’s background, Ning Xiaochuan uniformly declared to the public that Qin Xiaopei had not fallen into the hands of the drug cartel back then. Instead, to avoid retaliation, she had gone into hiding overseas under a pseudonym and had a daughter with her then-boyfriend, thus blurring the focus on Qiao Yongyong’s biological father.
A few days later, Ning Xiaochuan and Nie Yixiao accompanied Qiao Yongyong to a meal at a hotel with a group from the Qin family.
The Qin family members present were Qin Li’s cousins, who were Qiao Yongyong’s uncles.
The Qin family was indeed a prominent family with a legacy of military and political service. These uncles of Qiao Yongyong were now high-ranking officials in China’s government.
Having never seen her grandparents or her biological mother, she could only speculate what her closest relatives looked like through these relatives.
Seeing that Qin Li still had descendants, the Qin family’s uncles were moved to tears, taking Qiao Yongyong’s hand and insisting she stay with them for a few days. Qiao Yongyong felt a mix of amusement and emotion, her nose tingling slightly.
It wasn’t until Nie Yixiao casually reminded everyone that she was married, a daughter-in-law of the Ning family, that her uncles realized and, with a laugh, said no more.
After eating and leaving the hotel, Qiao Yongyong watched the backs of her uncles departing with a stirred heart until a faint ambergris fragrance wafted beside her. Only then did she see Nie Yixiao standing by her side: "Husband."
He took a bundle wrapped in an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.
She was puzzled, opened the envelope to find a stack of old photos, yet they appeared to have been digitally restored and were vibrant in color.
In the photos were her grandparents and her biological mother, Qin Xiaopei.
All the photos were of the three of them from when they were alive, some were individual, and others were group photos.
This was the first time she had seen her biological mother and grandparents, and her eyes immediately reddened; Qin Xiaopei resembled her a lot.
He knew what this girl wanted and said blandly: "There aren’t many photos left by your grandparents and mother. People over twenty years ago didn’t take pictures as frequently as now, but what could be collected, I had someone find and some damaged ones were restored with technology."
Her lips trembled: "Did you know a long time ago that I was one of the Qin family?"
At the press conference, when Ning Xiaochuan announced her lineage, Brother Yixiao didn’t seem too surprised.
This indicated he might have known long before. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Nie Yixiao didn’t deny it, nodding slightly.
Her throat choked: "...Did you start treating me differently because you knew I was part of the Qin family, that my grandfather might have saved your father’s life? Did you want to make amends?"
He sensed her tension, smiled his prism lips, his deep eyes glinting: "Compensation is my Dad’s thing. I don’t need to twist my own will for someone else’s compensation."
Her heart felt relieved; with his independent and aloof personality, he wouldn’t do things he didn’t like.
It wasn’t guilt; it was purely because he was kind to her.

Qin Li’s couple and their only daughter Qin Xiaopei had passed away, yet they left behind a considerable inheritance, including cash and property, which was temporarily held by the Qin family lawyer and soon allocated to Qiao Yongyong’s name.
In such a short time, Qiao Yongyong felt she had seemingly become another person, so unreal, yet it indeed happened in reality.
These days, she hadn’t forgotten to call back to Mexico.
There were too many things she wanted to ask Qiao Zonghan.
But no matter whether it was Qiao Zonghan’s private phone or the house landline, there was still no answer.
She knew, her brother was deliberately avoiding her.
Now, she had regained her identity as a daughter in the Chinese military circle.
Her grandfather was a first-class honor national hero, and her grandmother came from a lineage of military men, with her uncles from the Qin family all being high officials in the national political circle.
Her life and identity were completely different from before.
If people knew she still had connections with the Longding Society, it wouldn’t be a good thing, so her brother refused to have any contact with her.
That day, Qiao Yongyong continued calling Mexico multiple times, but no one picked up the call, leaving her despondent by the phone.
Brother, for my happiness, have you decided to sever ties with me?
She sat up, opened her laptop, and prepared to book a flight back to Mexico.
Regardless, she had to go back once.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She glanced, seeing the Mexico area code, her eyes brightened, and she immediately picked it up: "Brother!"
Mike’s voice came from the other side: "Miss."
"Uncle Mike? Where’s my brother? I want to speak with him."
Mike’s voice was very calm: "The Master has already seen the news about Miss returning to her roots and regaining her status as a Qin family descendant and is very happy for her. The Master asked me to convey that from now on, Miss need not return to the Longding Society nor contact anyone; just focus on living well in China, for that is where you should be."
Qiao Yongyong didn’t expect Mike to return the call just to say this, "Uncle Mike, I know my brother’s intentions, and he means well. But he raised me; how could I possibly abandon him? How could I pretend he doesn’t exist? Where is he? Pass the phone to him so that I can speak with him—"
"Miss, since you understand that it is the Master’s good intention, please do not disappoint him. Now, you know you and the Master have no relation, so why seek him out?"
Qiao Yongyong was anxious: "Uncle Mike, even though my brother and I are not related by blood, he raised me. What does he mean by this now? Does he want to cut ties with me?"
