Chapter 1436: Sudden Change in Circumstances

Mengyu was unaware that due to Lin Xiang’s suicide, the clues about Zilong’s poisoning incident were severed, making it difficult for the Leng Family to uncover the mastermind behind it.

She arrived at the Qin Family Mansion with Qing Wen.

From afar, she saw a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair standing at the entrance of the Qin Family Mansion.

Mengyu was guessing whether that man was Qin Chaowen when the man stepped forward, stopping a woman holding a four or five-year-old boy, squatting down to look at the boy: "Wenju, are you Wenju?"

The woman looked at the middle-aged man: "May I ask who you are—"

The gray-haired man said: "I am Qin Wenju’s father, Qin Chaowen. May I ask, are you returning my son to me?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, I brought your son back. Wenju, quickly call your father."

The four or five-year-old boy looked up at Qin Chaowen: "Dad."

Qin Chaowen cupped the boy’s face, carefully examining the man’s eyes. The child’s two pupils were clearly visible—surprisingly, they were also Chong Tongzi.

However, Mengyu saw very clearly that the Chong Tongzi had no resemblance to Qin Chaowen’s bloodline!

In other words, this boy was not Qin Chaowen’s son at all.

In contrast, the Qing Wen she was holding had a sixty percent blood relation similarity with Qin Chaowen.

In other words, Qing Wen and the man were related, but not as father and son.

It was just that Qin Chaowen was unaware; he only knew that his lost "son" was Chong Tongzi, and the boy in front of him was also Chong Tongzi. Chong Tongzi was so rare that one might not see another for hundreds of years. He couldn’t possibly imagine someone would bring Chong Tongzi to impersonate his child!

Upon hearing the child call him dad, Qin Chaowen immediately responded: "Ah."

He looked the child up and down, asking: "Good kid, are you really my son? Where have you been these years? How have you been?"

The boy didn’t answer but turned to look at the woman.

The woman spoke in the boy’s stead: "This child was found by our family’s man on the road outside West City three years ago. My husband brought him back. At that time, I didn’t have any children, so we adopted him. As for how he’s been, you can see how robust he’s grown, you should know he’s been doing well over the years. We’ve raised him as our own."

"Thank you, thank you for adopting my child." Qin Chaowen repeatedly thanked the woman.

Mengyu and Qing Wen exchanged glances: Is the child just accepted like that? Isn’t it said that blood relatives have a special sense? Without any sense of connection, just by looking at the eyes, the child is accepted?

Qing Wen was a bit disappointed: "Turns out, he’s not my father."

Mengyu patted his head: "He’s indeed not your father. He has sixty percent similarity in bloodline with you. So, he’s not your uncle or your mother’s brother. Given he shares the same surname with you, he should be your uncle.

Qing Wen, it seems your background is quite complicated. Let’s not rush, stay put, and see how things unfold."

She realized that when Qin Chaowen saw the boy was Chong Tongzi, he was indeed very happy; however, this happiness was not like that of a father seeing his son. Because she could not see the love for the boy in Qin Chaowen’s eyes.

He seemed more like someone seeing a valuable commodity.

She hoped her disciple wouldn’t be treated like a commodity.

Apparently, Qing Wen noticed it too: "He doesn’t like that boy he’s accepted as his son."
