"Is the phone call over?"
"How did it go? Can the old man show up to handle the marriage matter now?"
Old Mrs. Feng bent down and asked with a smile.
It was a posture that subtly conveyed pressure.
For most children, adults' height and age are like insurmountable mountains.
But Xiao Ya had seen too many adults adopt this posture from this angle...
"It's over," Xiao Ya calmly replied.
"Oh, so what did the old man say?"
"He said I'm responsible for everything."
Old Mrs. Feng almost thought she had misheard: "You're responsible? How can you be responsible?"
Xiao Ya turned to ask Wei Wenqing: "Uncle, will you listen to me?"
Wei Wenqing nodded.
Xiao Ya spread her hands: "See, that's how I'm responsible."
Old Mrs. Feng: "..."
"Alright, alright, so you're responsible. First, let's sign an agreement, is that okay? If it's verified again without error, your side needs to provide 7% of Kewei Capital's shares as emotional compensation..."
Xiao Ya turned back: "Kewei Capital?"
Wei Wenqing typed: "Just a bit of family business."
Whether it was the young master's big talk or what... Old Mrs. Feng thought to herself that it wasn't just "a bit" of business.
According to public information, it currently manages over 2 billion in assets and can attract up to 5 billion USD in overseas funds.
And what the Xing family needed... was precisely this money!
"Okay," said Xiao Ya.
She agreed just like that? Old Mrs. Feng was stunned.
She looked at Wei Wenqing, then at Xiao Ya. One dared to say it, and the other dared to believe it...
"Then what are you going to offer in exchange?" The child-like voice piped up crisply again.
"Exchange?" Old Mrs. Feng was taken aback, "Why do we need to offer anything in exchange..."
"If it's finally confirmed that you've deceived us, what consequences will you bear?"
"Little one, you..."
"Can we ban your businesses?"
Old Mrs. Feng's expression froze: "You..." You're talking nonsense! How could you possibly do that? Old Mrs. Feng should have said this.
But she suddenly realized that standing before her was Miss Zhang, not Miss Li anymore.
So it really... couldn't be said for sure now.
"Then you should never come here again, right? Wherever my uncle and I are, you shouldn't appear anymore, okay?" Xiao Ya's tone was a bit too polite for a child.
However, the more calm and unhurried this "politeness" was, the more arrogant it seemed to adults like Old Mrs. Feng.
Old Mrs. Feng's mouth twitched: "Fine, fine, it seems you never intended to become in-laws with us anyway..."
"We're not the kind of people who will cling on desperately. After the child is born, it will be yours, if the marriage doesn't happen, so be it! But the child and Siyun's name will need to be allocated certain properties and shares."
Did they think they would cling on desperately? They only needed the benefits they deserved. Old Mrs. Feng sneered inwardly.
Xiao Ya nodded: "Alright. If the child isn't my uncle's, besides the previous conditions, we'll give Miss Xing a gift."
"A gift?" Could this little girl be so kind-hearted?
"We will host a wedding for this child's biological father and Miss Xing."
Old Mrs. Feng scoffed upon hearing this: "I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity..."
Xiao Ya still politely said: "We'll be leaving now, goodbye."
Even as Wei Wenqing walked out, he was still a bit dazed: "You agreed just like that?"
"Mm." Xiao Ya looked at him seriously, "I trust you very much, uncle, so everything I do from now on is based on trusting you."
Wei Wenqing was very touched and typed: "Even your grandfather might not trust me this much..."
"Why?"
"Father believes that even between parents and children, they might make conflicting choices due to different standpoints and interests."
Xiao Ya pondered thoughtfully, without speaking further.
Wei Wenqing immediately made a crying face: "Xiao Ya, do you also think father is right?"
"It makes some sense, but if you're always afraid of being let down, you'll never be able to build relationships with others." Xiao Ya paused, then asked: "Is this why grandmother divorced grandfather?"
"Not just that, there were many reasons." Wei Wenqing patted her shoulder and continued typing, "Don't mention this in front of father, he'll get angry."
"Oh."
Wei Wenqing was a bit curious: "What would Xiao Ya do?"
Xiao Ya blinked: "Trust uncle, and if I'm wrong, I'll hit uncle."
Wei Wenqing's mouth gaped open: "..."
This works too?
"I can bear the consequences, so it's okay, I can trust uncle without burden." Xiao Ya said seriously, "I have the courage to bear it, adults can have it too!"
Wei Wenqing nodded vigorously, first taking on the task of feeding Xiao Ya fruit.
Xiao Ya had a three-way conference call with Sheng Yuxiao and Qin Sui.
Wei Wenqing was beside her, responsible for feeding strawberries.
"There's no problem with the testing point, the sampling was done right in front of us, they couldn't fake it," said Sheng Yuxiao.
"They even proactively suggested doing the identification at New Domain Medical, which shows they don't intend to tamper with things at the beginning or end," Qin Sui chimed in.
"So it must be in the middle... while transporting the sample!" Xiao Ya said while eating strawberries.
"Let's verify if our guess is correct then." Sheng Yuxiao paused, "I'll call Wei Zesheng's family right away to borrow manpower and lab facilities."
Old Mrs. Feng hadn't expected things to be arranged so quickly.
She muttered: "I don't know what they're being so stubborn about... Never mind... The shares will soon be in hand."
"Ah." Xing Siyun responded with a stiff face.
Fortunately, Wei Lin had arranged everything before he left.
It was the same sampling process as before.
Then the doctor carried it out.
Sheng Yuxiao sat in a small room, staring at the monitor. On the screen, the doctor turned a corner...
"Hmm, someone stopped the doctor."
Sheng Yuxiao spoke into the walkie-talkie, sitting up straighter, "The one who stopped him..."
Sheng Yuxiao was slightly startled: "It's someone from your grandfather's household, I'm certain I didn't see wrong."
Xiao Ya's eyes widened.
Sheng Yuxiao said: "Bodyguards have gone to intercept, they'll question them..."
"No wonder the Xing family was so confident, they weren't afraid even if caught. No matter how much we investigate, it's an inside job." Sheng Yuxiao frowned as he spoke.
"Wei Lin..." Wei Wenqing suddenly typed, "It must be his doing!"
"What?" Old Mrs. Feng looked over puzzled.
The old lady didn't know they were all wearing wireless earpieces, quietly communicating.
With the sample-switchers intercepted on one side, and no more obstacles on the other, the correct sample was delivered to the lab.
"Let's go back and wait for the results," said Old Mrs. Feng, massaging her waist as she stood up with some discomfort.
"Let's wait here until the results come out today," Xiao Ya interjected.
The bodyguard beside them closed the door accordingly.
Old Mrs. Feng smiled helplessly: "Alright, alright, though struggling in vain doesn't really help... Don't tell me you're planning to tamper with something?"
Xiao Ya realized they were very troublesome. Even with evidence in front of them, they might turn around and accuse the Wei family of tampering.
Hmm... then let's have Xing Siyun confess herself.
She raised her chin slightly and closed her eyes to think.
At this moment, Qin Sui's voice came through the wireless earpiece:
"We questioned them, but your grandfather's people are tight-lipped, they won't say anything, even if we threaten to send them to the police station."
