Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly became quiet.

Cheng Xihe remained seated on the sofa, her expression unchanged, and looked up at them: "Shocked?"

Qin Shengxia's voice was hesitant: "Wh-what relatives? Sister, aren't I your relatives?"

Mu Xiaoting and Nan Xi looked at each other, both somewhat incredulous.

This is so sudden.

Nanxi's eyes widened: "Of course I'm shocked! Aren't you shocked? What exactly happened?"

Cheng Xihe took the crumpled piece of paper out of her bag and handed it to Nan Xi and the others:

"Let's all sit on the sofa and talk. Since all three of you are here, I'll explain the situation to you properly."

She didn't bother to hide anything and simply told the whole story.

The three passed the paternity test report around before finally placing it on the table.

"Aren't my sister and I twins?" Qin Shengxia looked at Cheng Xihe with teary eyes, her eyes red.

Nanxi patted her on the shoulder: "There must be more to this story, we just don't know it yet."

"Whether we're twins or sisters, I'll always be your older sister." Cheng Xihe handed her a tissue when she saw her crying.

Qin Shengxia pursed her lips, then said with a wronged expression, "Sister, are you going to...?"

She had finally gained her sister's affection, only to be told now that this wasn't her biological sister.

Although her older sister still loves and protects her, but...

"No, things are still unclear, and I won't go back just because of this paternity test report."

Cheng Xihe moved closer and patted Qin Shengxia on the back: "Don't worry, you're like my sister."

"Um."

Mu Xiaoting took out another tissue: "Xiaxia, don't cry."

"It's okay, I'll be fine after crying for a bit."

Qin Shengxia wiped away her tears and smiled, "It's good that my sister has found her home."

"That's roughly what happened, but it's not a done deal yet. A paternity test report alone can't prove anything."

Cheng Xihe comforted her, "Xiaxia, don't be sad. I am your sister, really."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Qin Shengxia forced an awkward smile.

Her mother passed away, her father treated her badly, and her stepmother, stepsister, and brother also belittled her.

She finally got her twin sister back, who gave her warmth and helped her vent her anger, but now she finds out that she's not her biological sister.

She didn't know what to do.

Nanxi asked directly, "What are you planning to do now? Recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, or something?"

"I think you shouldn't rush back, sister-in-law. I know the Helan family; they're very powerful and have a large clan. I wonder what kind of intricacies they have." Mu Xiaoting looked up at Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe remained calm, seemingly uninterested in her background and lacking a strong sense of belonging.

Nan Xi coldly replied, "That's right. Since you were able to appear outside, it means that there's also a conspiracy within the Helan family."

"Let them investigate first. I won't go back right away. Don't worry, they can't control me."

Cheng Xihe smiled and patted Qin Shengxia's back: "Don't worry, Xiaxia, you're my sister."

"I know, my sister is so good to me, and I don't want to be a burden to her. If I really cause you trouble, I'm willing to live on my own and let you return to the Helan family."

Qin Shengxia smiled at her: "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters~"

"Come on, look at your bitter face." Cheng Xihe tapped Qin Shengxia's forehead and stuffed a piece of watermelon into her mouth.

"Yes, everyone should have some watermelon. I just bought this watermelon today, and it's very sweet," Mu Xiaoting said, picking up a slice for herself.

This watermelon is sweet and delicious, with a crisp texture, and it's seedless.

Cheng Xihe ate two slices in one go and nodded: "This watermelon is good, I'll buy this again tomorrow."

"sure!"

Mu Xiaoting agreed without hesitation.

The four of them chatted in the living room for over an hour, and Cheng Xi successfully calmed Qin Shengxia down.

Just then, a message popped up in the group chat.

Mu Xiaoting glanced down at the message and pulled Cheng Xihe aside: "Sister-in-law, Sister Ying has already come to the door to greet us."

"We have class tomorrow, shall we go back?"

"OK."

Cheng Xihe stood up and pressed down Qin Shengxia, who had also stood up, saying, "Xiaxia, let's go back first."

"Why don't you wash up and go to bed early too, okay?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, sister." Qin Shengxia nodded and watched them leave.

Once everyone left, Qin Shengxia's face darkened.

After a long while, she picked up a wet tissue and wiped her cheeks.

She was determined to take control of the Qin family before they discovered this.

I won't let the Qin family cause trouble for my sister!

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shengxia took out her phone and made a call: "The person I asked you to handle last time is all over the place lately, I don't like him."

"She even caused trouble for my sister. You guys are incompetent."

The person on the other end of the phone cried out in grievance, "Boss, we didn't expect this guy to be so resilient. He recovered pretty quickly after we beat him up and is back to causing trouble."

"Go and teach her another lesson, preferably beat her so badly she can't go home, you know what I mean?" Qin Shengxia's eyes were filled with hatred, her gaze icy cold.

"Yes, boss, I'll handle it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Shengxia's face remained cold.

She wouldn't let a single member of the Qin family go.

We need to get started as soon as possible.

In the car, Nanxi sighed helplessly: "I never expected that you would be a member of the Helan family."

No wonder I found it strange at first that you looked so much like Helan Jing; I thought it was just a coincidence.

I never imagined you were really family.

"It's hard to say yet. Let's wait until they've finished dealing with things on their end." Cheng Xihe looked out the window and didn't say anything more.

Holding her phone tightly, Mu Xiaoting asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, can I tell my brother about this?"

"Are you going to tell Yan Mingchuan?"

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Xiaoting.

Mu Xiaoting was holding her phone when she saw Cheng Xihe looking over, and immediately shook her head: "If my sister-in-law doesn't want me to, I won't say anything."

"I'm not unwilling, just say what you want to say, I don't mind." Cheng Xihe shrugged.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Xiaoting put down her phone: "Never mind, I won't say anything for now."

If the Helan family wants to spread this word, it will soon be known throughout the entire City A.

"Is the Helan family that powerful?" Cheng Xihe hadn't seriously investigated the Helan family before, only knowing that it was a large family.

But these large families are often deeply entrenched, with many shady dealings involved, which she didn't investigate thoroughly.

Huo Ying, who was driving, said, "The Helan family is one of the top three families in City A, with deep roots and a history even longer than the Yan family."

In recent years, part of the Helan family has expanded overseas, and the momentum is very strong, having taken on many large-scale projects abroad.

Moreover, many other high-end luxury brands also belong to the Helan family.

They have a rich cultural heritage, and their antique-style products are bestsellers both domestically and internationally.

In addition to these, the Helan family also has businesses in jewelry, film and television, real estate, technology, and biotechnology, among others.

"You know a lot about the Helan family?" Cheng Xihe asked curiously.

Huo Ying nodded: "The boss told me to get to know the people in each family so that I can remind Miss Mu in time."

"Yes, Sister Ying is very capable. After all, she is a promising talent that my brother nurtured." Mu Xiaoting smiled.

Huo Ying nodded calmly: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss."

"Okay, when I get back, I'll investigate further and see if I can find any meaningful information."

Cheng Xihe remained calm.

Previously, we only had a quick look, but now we need to have the people on the Spiderweb side collect all the information.

Thinking it over, Cheng Xihe took out his phone and contacted someone to investigate through a dedicated app.

She wanted to see what kind of family the Helan family was...
