Chapter 86: An Nanyi’s Complete Exposure (Extra Chapter)
Every word spoken by the young man clearly reached the ears of everyone present. When the last syllable landed, the huge studio was silent for two seconds.
Then, there was an uproar of exclamations. The gossip here was even more exciting than online. Some were shocked speechless, their mouths agape.
“Whoa, this is shocking!”
“If I heard correctly, Lin Qingyan means he’s the real An family son, and An Nanyi is an imposter. A real-life prince and pauper swap?!”
“I told you!!! YanYan and An Jing look more like brothers, An Nanyi doesn’t look like An Jing at all!!! They’re completely different!”
“If An Nanyi really did this, it’s so disgusting!”
The most shocked were An’s parents and An Jing. The son they raised for nineteen years was suddenly told he wasn’t their biological child, and their real son was someone else.
An’s parents looked at the young man in the wheelchair on the stage in stunned shock. The big screen behind them clearly showed his appearance: his head was bandaged, his face pale, and his eyes were watery, cold, and calm.
Those were peach blossom eyes very similar to Song Shuman’s. It wasn’t just the eyes; the more they looked, the more familiar and endearing the child’s appearance seemed. His eyes, nose, mouth… that face looked like An Lingkang and Song Shuman.
“He… he’s really our son?”
Song Shuman covered her mouth in disbelief, her mind buzzing, her eyes already red and wet. Her throat choked, and she managed to speak with great difficulty: “I… I don’t know…”
On the other side, on the judges’ seats, An Jing stared blankly at the person on the stage, saying nothing. He suddenly remembered something Lin Qingyan once said to him.
He said, if only I had an older brother like you.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. I am my parents’ biological son. Why are you saying this? Do you have any evidence?!” An Nanyi’s voice was loud, but even so, it couldn’t hide the panic in his tone.
“Evidence? Does the testimony of the person involved count?” Lin Qingyan said, “I have a video here, do you want to see it?”
If he didn’t have absolute certainty, how could he sit here and expose An Nanyi in front of everyone? He wanted everyone to see An Nanyi’s true face.
Lu Yuqi had already opened the video on his phone. The video showed the nurse from back then, Qin Qiu Shui. Her voice was choked with sobs, her tone full of regret. Every word she spoke sent huge waves through the venue.
“I am Qin Qiu Shui. Nineteen years ago, I was a nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Nancheng First People’s Hospital.”
“It was winter nineteen years ago. There was a major traffic accident that injured many people, leaving the hospital short of beds. At that time, a pregnant woman named Zhou Yue Lan was about to give birth, but there were no empty beds.”
“Coincidentally, Mrs. An, the current chairman’s wife of An Corporation, was also giving birth that day, so she and Zhou Yue Lan shared a room.”
“Mrs. An was a good person, but good people don’t always have good rewards…”
“I learned from Zhou Yue Lan herself. Her husband was a gambler and a drunkard, their family was very poor, and she told me that she didn’t want her newborn son to suffer, so she gave me several thousand yuan and asked me to help her… switch her newborn son with Mrs. An’s son.”
“…Nineteen years, I finally revealed the truth. I’m sorry, really sorry. I’m sorry to the An family, and even more sorry to the An family’s son who was switched…”
Word by word, it was like countless needles piercing the hearts of An’s parents.
They remembered that something like this indeed happened back then, and Song Shuman did help this woman named Zhou Yue Lan in the hospital.
They were both mothers. Song Shuman felt sorry for Zhou Yue Lan, who was pregnant and helpless. She not only gave her a room to stay in, but also shared supplements and fruits with her and helped her in every way.
But she never expected…
Song Shuman trembled, clutching her husband’s arm tightly, tears silently flowing down her cheeks. “How could this be… Why did she do this? Why…”
An Lingkang’s throat choked, he couldn’t speak, but his body trembled uncontrollably. He stared intently at the young man in the wheelchair, his eyes already red.
That was his son…
One piece of evidence after another left the audience unable to remain calm. Some fans even cried.
“Wuwuwu… YanYan is so pitiful, my heart aches for him. His identity was usurped by An Nanyi for nineteen years. He’s the real young master of the An family! How wronged he must have been…”
“So this kind of dramatic plot actually happens in real life? I’m completely stunned.”
“Is this not a script?”
“So An Nanyi is just an imposter, a fake young master.”
“From what YanYan said, An Nanyi knew his identity a long time ago, so he targeted YanYan, threatened Li Chuan, and caused YanYan’s injury. Oh my god, how could there be such a person!”
…
“No, no… I’m not an imposter, I’m the An family’s youngest son, I always have been!”
An Nanyi never expected that Lin Qingyan would dare to say these things during the recording, and… why did Lin Qingyan have these recordings and videos?
He looked blankly at the people around him, the chaotic sounds of their conversations filling his ears. After a moment of stupor, he quickly walked towards the audience and stood in front of An Lingkang and Song Shuman.
An Nanyi looked at them, tears in his eyes, his voice trembling as he choked out, “Mom and Dad, don’t believe what he says. I’m your favorite youngest son, aren’t I?”
Song Shuman was still crying, her eyes filled with sadness and disbelief. She shook her head slightly and looked away from An Nanyi.
She choked out, “I… I don’t know…”
Standing before her was the youngest son she had loved for nineteen years. She had never doubted his identity until today, when the truth was laid bare before her, and she wasn’t at all prepared.
An Lingkang was busy comforting his weeping wife. He only glanced at An Nanyi. The tear-filled eyes no longer held the gentle, loving smile they once had, only disappointment and sadness.
An Nanyi stared blankly at them. It wasn’t supposed to be like this! His parents had just been so happy and excited, clapping and cheering for him. Why did it become like this?!
“An Nanyi, didn’t you know you were an imposter a long time ago? Why are you still pretending?”
Lu Yuqi watched An Nanyi’s reaction, as if watching a play, a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips. “We have another recording here, want to hear it?”
He only learned about these things today. No wonder Lin Qingyan had been acting strange lately. If it were him, he would have torn this white lotus apart long ago, why wait until today?
The audience, enjoying the spectacle, expressed their eagerness.
“What? There’s another recording?”
“Whoa, what is it this time?”
“Hammer after hammer, this is going to crush An Nanyi.”
“Play the recording, play the recording!”
With everyone’s anticipation, Lu Yuqi played the recording. It was the voice of a middle-aged man, sounding frivolous and irresponsible:
“An Nanyi? He knew who his father was two years ago. I specially went to school to find him and tell him.”
“That kid lived a good life in a wealthy family for a few years, and he forgot who his father was. He’s reluctant to give me any money. He’s not as good as my cheap son; at least he lets me beat and scold him.”
“Oh, right, that kid gave me tens of thousands of yuan two years ago and told me not to let Lin Qingyan continue his studies, saying he found him annoying. Lin Qingyan wasn’t willing, so I dragged him out of the classroom. What’s the use of studying so much?”
“Boss, I’ve said everything I need to say. Can you give me that 100,000 yuan check?”
The recording ended.
Needless to say, everyone could guess that the speaker was Lin Qingyan’s adoptive father, An Nanyi’s biological father, the good-for-nothing gambler.
This recording contained a lot of information.
First, An Nanyi knew his identity two years ago.
Second, after learning the truth, he didn’t choose to tell the An family and continued to act as their young master.
Third, not only that, but he also deliberately targeted Lin Qingyan, the real An family child, preventing him from continuing his studies.
“Oh my god, this is unbelievable!”
“How could there be such a vicious person!”
“Unfollowed! This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be an idol!”
“Lin Qingyan is so pitiful, and the An family too. They raised this ungrateful wretch for nineteen years, while their real child suffered in another family.”
…
In a corner unnoticed by others, Gu Fei stood silently, his thin lips pursed, his deep, calm eyes covered with a layer of frost.
Even though this wasn’t the first time he’d heard Lin Jianxiang’s words, he was still angry, because the person being bullied was Lin Qingyan, the treasure he wanted to cherish and protect for a lifetime.
But when his gaze met the young man sitting in the wheelchair on stage, the cold and gloomy emotions in the man’s brows disappeared instantly, and the stern lines on his face softened.
As if sensing Gu Fei’s gaze, Lin Qingyan glanced in that direction, then stood up, facing the audience, and bowed.
“I’m sorry for taking up the recording time.”
After saying that, he didn’t look at An Nanyi’s reaction, nor did he dare to look at the audience and judges’ seats, because his biological parents and brother were there.
Revealing the truth in front of so many people had used up all his courage. He clenched his trembling hands tightly, speaking calmly and restrainedly:
“Yuqi, let’s go.”
“Mm.”
As the two figures were about to disappear from the stage, as if waking from a dream, An Jing quickly chased after them, “YanYan!!”
“YanYan… quickly, quickly go chase him!”
Song Shuman anxiously pulled her husband towards the stage.
