Based on the information she and He Yongan had gathered from Qi Hongsheng, the aunt—who was likely He Yongan’s stepmother—was a remarkably shrewd woman with significant family wealth.
Regardless of the origins of that wealth, her family was, at the very least, exceptionally well-off today. Under such circumstances, for their child to arrive in the countryside to see Qi Hongsheng at this particular time was suspicious, to say the least. It made one wonder if there was something more going on. Feng Qingqing even speculated whether the aunt, with her calculating nature, had grown uneasy about Qi Hongsheng and sent her own daughter to monitor him.
That seemed entirely possible. As the thought crossed her mind, a trace of mockery surfaced. It seemed this family placed immense importance on He Yongan. Yet, one thing still baffled her: even if He Yongan might be the biological son of that man, so many years had passed. That man had gone on to have several other children; seeking him out now seemed rather pointless. Especially for Chu Baiying and her children, a normal person would see this as a threat to the interests of the existing heirs. What could possibly drive this man to tirelessly hunt for He Yongan after all these years?
