An Qinyan pursed her lips in a straight line. She felt her head hurting just at the thought of the old lady who was no one else but Song Yifei's mother-in-law and An Qinyan's ex-mother-in-law.

It could have been fine if the old lady was just An Qinyan's ex-mother-in-law but she was much more than that. She was also the guardian who raised An Qinyan after the death of her parents. So, her relationship with the old lady was quite complicated.

"She is planning to bring Little Lan back to the family," Song Yifei said next. She was very calm while conveying the most confidential information

"Anything else?" A Qinyan asked. Of course, she knew there was much more to this topic. There was no way in hell that the old lady would allow the Lu couple to bring An Xiulan back to the Lu family. It was that old lady who tossed An Xiulan out of the family when she divorced her ex-husband. The reason– Lu family couldn't raise two children without the involvement of the mother.

At that time, An Xiulan had nothing to her name. She was economically broke, physically weak and mentally torn. She was in no condition to look after her daughter but the old lady tossed her daughter out knowing too well that she wasn't in the right condition to raise a child.

"She is sending Lu Xuan to you," Song Yifei said nonchalantly.

An Qinyan froze. She didn't know how to respond at this moment.

Lu Xuan.

The only hope that urged her never to give up.

Song Yifei called Lu Xuan her regret but he wasn't. He was her unseen strength. Even though he was not with her, his memories had always been with her. Even though he claimed to hate her, all she could see was a sea of love and affection in his eyes.

"I don't have any problems with bringing Ah Xuan back to his family," An Qinyan said without any visible emotion. "My home is his home. He can come here anytime he wants."

Lies.

An Qinyan knew that she was lying to herself.

She was in no position to have her children in the same house at the same time.

An Xiulan was not ready to encounter her forgotten twin. The accident had made her forget a lot of memories. And Lu Xuan was one of them.

"An Qinyan, do you understand the gravity of this matter?!" Song Yifei asked. She was trying her best to not let her calmness break. There was no way she was giving up on Lu Xuan under any condition. An Qinyan might have given birth to Lu Xuan but she had raised him. She couldn't just give up on a child she had raised for more than fifteen years. She had a heart too. She wasn't a robot who could add or subtract emotions whenever she was told to.

"I do," An Qinyan replied with the same serious expression An Xiulan had while dealing with Han Zixin. "By the way, congratulations."

Song Yifei felt her body going cold. This congratulation meant something to her.

If An Qinyan sore points could be pressed by her, hers too could be.

"Congratulations on giving the old lady another heir. I hope your position in the Lu family has improved after struggling all these years," An Qinyan smiled, showing her dimples. There was a hint of genuine happiness in her eyes.

Maybe not every love rival would pray for their ultimate rival to get the biggest happiness of their life, but she prayed every day for Song Yifei. There wasn't a single moment when she hadn't prayed to God to give Song Yifei a baby of her own as the latter struggled with infertility all these years.

"I didn't come here for that," Song Yifei whispered. "Don't break my home, An Qinyan."

"Mrs Lu, I would never wish you a broken home as I never want someone to feel the same pain I felt once upon a time," An Qinyan said with a bright smile. "I think we would be called friends if we weren't in the position we are in currently. Then again, we weren't meant to be friends. Thank you for checking up on me all these years. When no one encouraged me, you did. I will never wish you unhappiness."

"Lu Xuan will hate you," Song Yifei said.

"Doesn't matter," An Qinyan smiled. "He hates both of us. Maybe, he can hate you less and hate me more now. Isn't it what you wanted? You always wanted him to stop hating you. This is your choice."

"An Qinyan! Old lady will never give you Lu Xuan. He is her life. He is the reason why she is still alive. She will never give you her lifeline," Song Yifei said.

"Weren't you saying that the Old lady is sending him to me?" An Qinyan asked with a raised brow. She had dealt with so many difficult people but none of them was as stubborn and sticky as this woman. Song Yifei was the chewing gum of her life.

"You know why she is sending him to you," Song Yifei murmured. It was so hard dealing with this stubborn woman. She would need to rest for a week straight to gain back her power to deal with people.

"She wants me to declare Lu Xuan, the eldest son of the Lu clan, her heir, as the sole heir of my billion-dollar empire," An Qinyan said, feeling so proud of her achievement. She smiled brightly at the pale woman and added, "My empire belongs to my children. Not just one, I can raise ten Lu Xuans and An Xiulans. My son is coming back home after all these years."

An Xiukan stood up to leave but before leaving she looked at Song Yifei and said, "Now please excuse me, I have so many arrangements to make for bringing my son home."
