Cui Yu was stuffing rice into his mouth when he heard the betrothal and almost spat it out.

This was too much of a coincidence.

Yan Huai and Qi Ying were engaged when they were young, and Qi Ying might now become Yan Huai’s savior.

Qi Ying almost choked on her food. She had not figured out why the Zhang family had brought her back, but everything was resolved now.

They had brought her back to complete the engagement with Yan Huai.

“Then do you know about the truth behind the fraternal twins?” Qi Ying asked Yan Hong.

Yan Hong knew the truth behind the fraternal twins. Yan Hong and Qi Ying’s grandfather, Zhang Cheng, had been comrades for many years. Back then, at the banquet between the two families, Meng Lin attended a banquet when Meng Lin was pregnant with a child.

At such a young age, Yan Huai seemed to like Meng Lin’s child very much. He kept circling around Meng Lin.

At that time, Yan Hong and Zhang Cheng had agreed on the engagement of the two children.

However, Zhang Cheng passed away early. After Zhang Cheng passed away, the relationship between the two families gradually faded.

Although the two families would still work on projects and invest together, Zhang Heng’s greed for small benefits had dissatisfied the Yan family, so the cooperation gradually faded.

The two families were still family friends, but they were no longer as close as before.

Although the Yan family had experienced the accidental death of many people in power, the Yan family’s business was getting bigger and bigger. Especially after Yan Huai took over, the Yan family broke through the bottleneck of many years and became the number one family in Hai Cheng.

If not for Yan Huai’s illness, they would have canceled this marriage long ago. However, Yan Huai suddenly fell ill, and the entire family was in a terrible fix because of this matter. No one had thought of this marriage at all.

Yan Hong naturally knew that back then, Meng Lin was only carrying one child in her stomach, and it was definitely this child who had arranged the marriage with Yan Huai. As for the so-called fraternal twins, they were probably just the Zhang family’s excuse to deceive others.

They must have carried the wrong child back, so they hurriedly found the real daughter to complete the engagement.

“I know, but I think you might be the true bloodline of the Zhang family.” Yan Hong said.

Qi Ying nodded. Old Master Yan’s insight was indeed not simple.

However, marriage was mostly predestined. She silently calculated the astrological compatibility between her and Yan Huai. After a simple calculation, they were basically constellations that matched and gravitated towards each other.

There weren’t many astrolabes that were compatible to this extent. Perhaps the Wheel of Fate was guiding her. She just didn’t know what direction it would lead her in.

Qi Ying left after dinner. Yan Mo personally drove her home.

Yan Mo sent Qi Ying off and returned to the Yan family villa.

Master Yan was in a much better mood and was drinking tea with Yan Jiang.

Seeing Yan Mo return, Old Master Yan asked, “How’s the child?”

Yan Mo shook his head. “It’s already eleven o’clock. That child went home, but no one picked her up at the door. I saw her walk in on her own.”

Yan Hong also sighed. “I don’t think the Zhang family values that child much. She’s having dinner at our house, but her parents didn’t call her to ask.”

Yan Mo also sighed. “After all, Zhang Ning is a famous daughter of Baicheng. Meng Lin usually likes to call that child out to show off at Mrs. Fu’s gatherings. Moreover, that child has some ambiguous relationship with Yan Bin, so Meng Lin will probably dote on Zhang Ning more.”

“Yan Bin?” Yan Hong frowned.

During this period of time, she had been worried about Yan Huai, but she had forgotten about her great-grandson.

“Didn’t Yan Bin go to school properly?”

“Dad, you don’t know this, but Yan Bing is now a sophomore at Baicheng University and is very close to Zhang Ning. That child asked me when I was going to settle his engagement. He probably wants to tell me about Zhang Ning,” Yan Mo said.

Yan Hong asked, “Then what did you say?”

“I said that Yan Huai’s health isn’t good now. He shouldn’t have suggested marriage, so I brushed it off.”

Yan Hong shook his head and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. “It’s true that I haven’t paid much attention to Yan Bin during this period of time. You still have to find someone to pay attention to him. Don’t let this child go astray.”

“Alright, Father. I made a mistake.” Yan Mo nodded.

“Did Yan Bin do anything else?” Yan Hong asked.

“Speaking of which, I remember something. Yan Bin has been living with Yan Yang in school. Could his relationship with Zhang Ning be related to Yan Yang’s family?”

Hearing the name Yan Yang, Yan Hong frowned.
