But starting five years ago, Jin Huazhu’s attitude toward Fu Yingying suddenly turned cold. Whenever Fu Wangchan and Fu Yingying argued, Jin Huazhu would always side with Fu Wangchan.

Even when Fu Yingying was wronged and bullied, Jin Huazhu would no longer intervene.

Fu Wangchan showed a remarkable talent in Ancient Martial Arts, and as early as five years ago, he was already an Ancient martial artist at the peak of the fourth-order.

It was also around that time that the situation of Vital Energy going out of control became increasingly serious. Perhaps due to this, his temperament grew more volatile and unruly, worsening his already bad temper.

Previously, Fu Xiyan thought Jin Huazhu started favoring Fu Wangchan then because he felt sorry for him.

But after seeing the paternity test report, Fu Xiyan finally understood the reason.

Jin Huazhu had done a test with Fu Yingying five years ago.

Raising a child for nearly thirteen years only to find out she isn’t biologically theirs, but instead her husband’s biological child, was unacceptable to anyone.

It was already quite forgiving not to have kicked Fu Yingying out of the house.

Because of Jin Huazhu’s sudden coldness and favoritism toward Fu Yingying, Fu Mengyao had a big argument with Jin Huazhu.

Fu Xiyan remembers it was a huge scene, and Jin Huazhu and Fu Mengchuan almost got divorced.

In the end, although Fu Mengchuan managed to soothe Jin Huazhu, she completely withdrew from family affairs.

She frequently went out, and gradually, she wouldn’t even return to the Ancient Martial Arts World once a year.

Later, because Fu Wangchan and Fu Yingying often fought, Jin Huazhu took Fu Wangchan away from the Fu Family as well.

Due to Fu Yingying’s presence, both Jin Huazhu and Fu Wangchan hardly returned to the Ancient Martial Arts World.

Fu Xiyan was always unsure whether Jin Huazhu knew about Fu Yingying being Fu Mengchuan’s biological child.

After hesitating for a long time, Fu Xiyan never discussed this matter with Jin Huazhu.

But yesterday, after obtaining Gu Zhiqi’s hair, he decided to talk about it. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It turned out Jin Huazhu had already known, and had known for five years that Fu Yingying was not her biological child and that Fu Mengchuan and Fu Yingying were biological father and daughter.

Over the years, the reason Jin Huazhu didn’t reveal this to Fu Mengchuan was that he seemed unaware of it.

Jin Huazhu speculated that Fu Yingying’s biological mother had switched the children.

Yet, no matter how hard Jin Huazhu investigated, she couldn’t find out who Fu Mengchuan had been involved with.

And the other child was never found either.

During a conversation with Jin Huazhu, Fu Xiyan did not mention Gu Zhiqi, planning to wait for the results before telling Jin Huazhu.

It was somewhat disappointing for him to find out that Gu Zhiqi was not his sister.

However, the doctor who performed the test said that although they aren’t siblings, they’re likely related.

Moreover, they come from the same maternal line.

In other words, although Gu Zhiqi is not his biological sister, she might still be a lost child of the Jin Family.

According to the doctor, their genetic ties are quite distant.

"Brother Yan?" Gu Zhiqi called out after seeing Fu Xiyan lost in thought following their conversation.

Her voice pulled Fu Xiyan back to reality. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

Gu Zhiqi seemed unbothered and simply told Fu Xiyan, "I’m free the day after tomorrow."

If Fu Xiyan was indeed her biological brother, then his mother and brother would probably be her relatives too.

So, she should at least go and see them.

Fu Xiyan nodded after hearing her, "Then, thank you in advance."

Gu Zhiqi replied, "If it works out, just remember to pay me."

Be it real brothers or not, business is business, and payment is still required.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiyan’s lips twitched slightly, "Of course."
