Chapter 727: The Relationship Between Li Beinian and Nico
From the start, she had known without a doubt, that Bei Xiaonian was her mother.
Not only because they looked alike, but also because Li Haoran had kept Bei Xiaonian’s photograph in his study cabinet.
But now, it seemed that not only was her father someone else, but his background was obviously more powerful than all the combined forces of the families she knew.
It seemed, that her surname was Rothschild.
And even if this wasn’t her surname, her surname definitely wasn’t Li.
But… Bei.
Yes, from the moment she could remember, she was Beinian.
Later on, when she came to the Chi family, Chi Dali had added her name to their account and gave her their surname.
But still, she was Beinian.
Everything seemed to fall into place. Chi Dali and Tang Xiaoge obviously knew who her biological parents were.
Li Haoran and Grandpa knew as well.
However, they had unanimously chosen to avoid this reality, and kept her in the dark.
Lin Ya and Lin Kerou, on the other hand, were targeting her because of her background. Their goal was obviously to inherit the Rothschild assets.
And the right of inheritance was hers.
The one thing that Li Beinian found strange was that Nico was well and alive. So why did they say, in her dream, that she was the only heir of the Rothschild family?
Could it be… Nico wasn’t a member of the Rothschild family?
Or perhaps… was Nico… dead by the time Rothschild family found her?
This thought startled Li Beinian.
A terrifying possibility came to her mind at once: Lin Ya might kill him!
Li Beinian’s heart writhed in pain as she stared at the photograph in her hand. Bei Xiaonian’s sweet and gentle eyes seemed to be staring at her.
“What’s on your mind?” She heard Mu Xichen’s voice.
Li Beinian snapped out of her thoughts. Seeing that Mu Xichen was so close, she suddenly realized that she had been so absorbed that she wasn’t even aware when he had come in.
She put aside the photograph, walked forward, and put her arms around Mu Xichen’s waist.
Mu Xichen was much taller than her. Now that he was looking down at her, he could sense her seriousness.
She subconsciously glanced at the desk where she had been standing. There was a document concerning Bei Xiaonian on it.
Mu Xichen had already guessed the reason. He met her gaze and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Li Beinian’s eyes flashed and she asked, “Did you already know about the relationship between Nico and I?”
Mu Xichen did not allow her to see Nico, nor did he allow her to owe him a favor. He had insisted on settling the medical bills.
Li Beinian had thought that the man was just being possessive.
She thought it was because Nico made him feel threatened and he demanded this of her out of jealousy.
After all, although Nico was much older than her, his appearance was outstanding. Such a man was definitely a threat to other men.
But now it seemed that Mu Xichen wasn’t jealous at all.
He had obviously made a correct guess about her relationship with Nico and wanted to separate them!
The more Li Beinian thought about it, the more intently she stared at him.
There was a flash in Mu Xichen’s eyes, but it vanished very quickly.
As if trying to prove himself, Mu Xichen held her gaze and asked, “What’s the relationship between the two of you?”
