Chapter 230: Chapter 230 A Must-See Climax of Recognizing Relatives (9)

"How dare you! Who dares to call the pearl of the An Family a wild child!"

A collective gasp rose from the crowd, as they turned their heads toward the entrance, completely overlooking the stiff and bewildered An Yiqing.

"Who dares insult the pearl of the An Family! Who dares call her a wild child!" The crowd parted way instinctively, as Elder An, An Muyun, with a host of family members behind him, strode in looking furious.

At the end of the path was An Yiqing, tightly embraced by Gu Yelin. The girl clung onto the man’s suit, desperately trying to hide the panic and excitement in her heart.

"Tutu! My Tutu!" Kong Shi hurried forward in three big strides, oblivious to the startled looks of those around her. She wrapped An Yiqing in her arms and cried out, "My daughter! Mommy has finally found you! Mommy has finally found you!"

The crowd was shocked by the scene in front of them, whispering amongst themselves ceaselessly. The incident from nineteen years ago about a lost baby girl from the An Family of Xuandu City was well-known, although nobody dared to mention it out of respect for the powerful An Family. But based on the current situation, could it be... An Yiqing was that missing child from the An Family?!

A collective intake of breath was heard as everyone was secretly astonished by their own guesses.

"Little sister!" Regardless of the mix of thoughts in the crowd, An Zhihang and An Zhiyan walked up swiftly, looking at the girl embraced by her mother with excitement, "Little sister, we’ve finally found you!"

Looking at the overjoyed and tearful Kong Shi, and then at the excited expressions of other members of the An Family, An Yiqing felt her mind blank, too dazed to recover.

"Dear granddaughter, your grandparents have finally found you!" Elder An sighed emotionally. Noticing the girl’s blank stare, he quickly added, "Let’s go home! We’ll talk at home!"

With a sweep of his hand, Elder An prepared to leave the hall, escorting An Yiqing and Gu Yelin with the rest of the family.

"Elder An! How can you leave as soon as you’ve arrived?!" Suddenly, a deep and powerful voice echoed from the staircase of the hall, its profound implication causing a chill down everyone’s spine.

An Muyun turned his head, his gaze laced with impatience and disdain as he looked at Qin Dingshan standing there. He said nonchalantly, "Old Qin, today is your birthday, and I apologize for any inconvenience. Now that I have found my own granddaughter, I won’t stay any longer. Farewell!" With that, An Muyun turned and took a step to depart.

"Stop! Everyone stop!" At that moment, a shrill and piercing voice rang out. A garishly made-up woman stormed up to Elder An and pointed at An Yiqing, exclaiming, "Elder An, you may leave, but leave that woman here! She hurt my Jiajia, and she must give the Qin Family an explanation!"

Qin Jia’s mother, Xiao Shulan, glared at An Yiqing viciously, as if her gaze could tear her into pieces!

"Nonsense! Shulan, you’re being ridiculous!" Old Master Qin, Qin Dingshan, bellowed, his composed presence assisted by a young man, "This is your Uncle An. Our Qin and An Families are longtime friends. Even if you don’t ask, he will give an explanation for Jiajia. Isn’t that right, Elder An?" Qin Dingshan’s tone shifted, asking pointedly.

An Muyun was about to burst in anger when a cold, low voice spoke up.

"Patriarch Qin, it was I, Gu Yelin, who broke that woman’s hand. If you wish to discuss it, then I shall stay and have a chat with you!" Gu Yelin’s presence emitted a bone-chilling aura. He looked at Qin Dingshan with dark, piercing eyes.

Qin Dingshan felt unnerved by the murderous aura radiating from Gu Yelin, forcing a smile, he spoke in a friendly manner, "Ye Lin is still young, a bit impulsive. The Gu and Qin Families have been friends for generations, and Jiajia and you are childhood sweethearts, innocent childhood friends. Ye Lin, how could you hurt your little sister Jiajia over an outsider?" Qin Dingshan’s words made everyone struggle not to laugh at the ridiculousness; ’longtime friends’ and ’childhood sweethearts’, when Third Young Master Gu didn’t even know Qin Jia’s name? Quite the shamelessness from Qin Dingshan!

Gu Yelin’s dark eyes remained intently fixed on Qin Dingshan, causing him so much discomfort he was nearly on the brink of collapsing before he finally spoke slowly, "Sorry, but as far as I know, my parents only had me; I have no sisters! Patriarch Qin should better not falsely claim relatives! As for being childhood sweethearts, that’s even more impossible. Apart from Tutu, women who dream of approaching me are all reincarnated by now!"

Gu Yelin’s words were extremely arrogant, and the crowd clearly heard the sound of Qin Dingshan being metaphorically slapped across the face.

That’s Third Gu for you, always so arrogant! What a slap in the face! Let’s see if Qin Dingshan dares to make false relationship claims now!

The Qin Family, with their pride at stake, struggled amidst their suppressed anger, pressured by the reputation of the Gu Family and Gu Yelin. They stood in an awkward limbo, finding the held breath in their chests exceedingly uncomfortable.

An Muyun shot Gu Yelin an approving glance, very satisfied with his grandson-in-law. He looked mockingly at Qin Dingshan, gloating, "Old Qin, it seems your memory fades with age. You really should remember your family tree to avoid mistakenly claiming relatives in the future! I’ll take my granddaughter and leave now! As for Qin Jia’s issue, I’ll keep it in mind!"
