Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Yan Shao Plays Dumb Till The End

Yes, the two people sitting next to Yan Han at this moment are Zong Mao and Liu Su, the parents of Zong Zhe.

Yan Han’s mind is in chaos, but his face is as calm as usual, the turmoil in his heart not reaching his face.

"Elder Zong, I am obtuse. I do not understand why you and Mrs. Zong made a special trip here," he said.

Saying this, he very rarely behaved like a well-mannered younger generation, standing up and pouring tea for the two guests.

However, Zong Mao did not move at all and did not even show any intention of drinking the tea, he just kept his eyes on Yan Han.

"Yan Han, you have always been smart. When did you start to play dumb?" he asked.

Luckily, Yan Han himself was also a person with a strong aura. Otherwise, he would have succumbed under Zong Mao’s intense gaze.

"Elder Zong, I am not pretending to be oblivious. If I have offended you both unknowingly, please enlighten me."

Yan Han was determined to deny it all, and in his mind, he was rapidly searching for clues, trying to figure out where the problem lay that had led these two to sense something.

"Yan Han, as a rule, given that you and Ah Zhe were good buddies, we should believe you. But since you and Ah Zhe were good buddies, how could you stand by and see his flesh and blood wander in the world?"

Zong Mao’s words were calm, but the accusation was very obvious.

Yan Han looked at Zong Mao in surprise. "Elder Zong, I am very sad about Ah Zhe, but if his flesh and blood is wandering somewhere, this is the first time I’m hearing about it. Could it be that Elder Zong and Mrs. Zong, blinded by concern for their son, have misconceptions?"

In his heart, Yan Han quietly said "sorry" to the departed Zong Zhe. As the husband of Zhu Qianying and as a friend of Bai Shao, he felt that he had a responsibility to ensure the safety of Bai Shao and her daughter.

Moreover, whether Bai Xiaolu wanted to return to the Zong family was something Bai Shao could decide. He, Yan Han, could not make that decision.

At the moment, he was just fulfilling his friend’s trust, so he had to apologize to his departed friend, while being disrespectful to the elders in front of him.

Zong Mao’s face gradually showed anger, and when Yan Han finished speaking, he couldn’t help but slam his palm on the table.

"Impudent! Yan Han, don’t think that by denying everything, you can deceive me easily!"

Seeing that Zong Mao was on the verge of a fight, his wife, who had been silent, finally spoke up to Yan Han to prevent things from getting out of hand.

"Yan Han, you know that Ah Zhe’s departure was sudden and he left nothing behind. Now, please take pity on our Zong family and return the child to us."

This couple, had built a significant portion of their empire together decades ago.

Despite her gentle and weak appearance, Mrs. Zong was a shrewd and ruthless character.

Others might be deceived by her appearance, but not Yan Han.

So, Yan Han was not moved by her current display of pity or her reasonable persuasion.

"Mrs. Zong, I don’t understand what child you’re talking about." It seemed like Yan Han was determined to play dumb to the end.

Zong Mao tensed up and was about to get angry again. Mrs. Zong quickly stopped him and spoke first.

"Yan Han, Bai Shao has been living in your home for some time now. Her child, Bai Lu, is Ah Zhe’s flesh and blood."

Yan Han looked even more surprised. "Mrs. Zong, you must be wrong. Bai Shao has been studying abroad for many years, and if it weren’t because her father was sick, she wouldn’t have returned to China. Perhaps, Bai Lu’s father is still abroad, waiting for them to return."

Knowing the truth, Yan Han casually made things up with a straight face, as if he was absolutely sure that there was a man abroad waiting for the mother and daughter to return.

Mrs. Zong glanced at him half-believingly, then exchanged a look with Zong Mao.

"Yan Han, surely you know that Bai Shao was Ah Zhe’s girlfriend?"

"What? Bai Shao was Ah Zhe’s ex-girlfriend they dated for two years?" Yan Han’s acting was so good that his look of surprise this time exceeded the previous one.

Mrs. Zong nodded, "Yes, Bai Shao was Ah Zhe’s girlfriend."

This time, Yan Han put away his surprised expression and spoke very seriously.

"Mrs. Zong, Bai Shao is my wife’s good friend and confidante. I never knew she was Ah Zhe’s ex-girlfriend. Moreover, I don’t agree with your speculation that Bai Lu is Ah Zhe’s flesh and blood."

The Zong family was a dangerous place. Sending Bai Shao and her daughter back would be more dangerous than safe. Therefore, Yan Han could not acknowledge Bai Lu’s real identity under any circumstances.

Of course, if this decision was made by Bai Shao herself, that would be another story.

Zong Mao, who had been restrained by his wife Liu Su several times, could not help but become furious again.

"Yan Han, Bai Lu may not look exactly like Ah Zhe, but her demeanor is exactly the same as Ah Zhe’s. Moreover, I have looked into her birth data and inferred from that the time when Bai Shao was pregnant, it’s absolutely the time when she was with Ah Zhe."

Fuck!

Yan Han cursed silently in his heart. How did this cunning old fox get Bai Xiaolu’s data?

Could it be that from the moment they asked Jiang Qi to find Bai Shao, they knew about Bai Lu’s existence?

In this matter, Yan Han had guessed half of it correctly.

After breaking up with Zong Zhe, Bai Shao quickly left the country using the Zong Corporation’s staff exchange program.

Probably Zong Zhe regarded this as a breakup fee for her. After all, even though she had gone abroad under the name of the Zong Corporation, she had no obligation to return to work for the Zong Corporation.

So, she chose to stay and work abroad after her graduation, and no one paid any attention to it.

And then, she returned to China to work for a large multinational corporation, and news about her gradually reached the Zong family.

They didn’t know what Zong Mao and his wife were thinking at the time, anyway, they had someone inquire about Bai Shao’s situation.

Not long after, the basic information about Bai Xiangdong and Bai Lu was delivered to Zong Mao and his wife.

At that time, they didn’t pay much attention to Bai Lu. After all, their son had been gone for five or six years, and it was only natural for Bai Shao to have another partner and child.

Their attention was solely on Bai Xiangdong at the time.

When their son died, he had expressed concern for Bai Shao. Now that Bai Xiangdong was in trouble, they seemed to be able to help a bit.

So they let Jiang Qi contact Bai Shao.

It was not until Jiang Qi accompanied Bai Shao and her father abroad that they turned their attention back to Bai Lu.

At first, they were just curious about what kind of girl Bai Shao’s child was. They didn’t expect that after seeing her once, a seed of hope sprouted in their hearts.

However, Zong Mao and his wife were experienced people and would never act rashly.

After secretly meeting Bai Lu, instead of rushing to take her away, they had someone investigate her detailed information abroad.
