Jing Xin nodded. Even if she was busy, she would not refuse; she had a deep interest in Xiang Yang’s story.

Now, Xiang Yang’s background will be introduced. Every person’s change is influenced by external factors, and Xiang Yang is no exception.
Chapter Twelve: Xiang Yang’s Background
A light cup of tea and a story that unveils a heartbreaking tale sealed away for years.
“Xiang Yang is actually not surnamed Jiang. His biological father’s surname is Gao, named Gao Zhan Peng, the CEO of a multinational company in A City. You might have seen him in the newspapers; he’s an older man who frequently appears in scandals.”
On his eighteenth birthday, he changed his name from Gao Xiang Yang to Jiang Xiang Yang, saying it was his coming-of-age gift. He had long wanted to do this, as he hated the Gao family and his father. Changing his name on this significant day symbolized his independence from his father’s control.
She paused and continued, “This happened over twenty years ago. At that time, I was a piano tuner. In the 1980s, few people could play the piano, so I was sometimes invited to perform at celebrations and banquets.
I met Xiang Yang’s father, Gao Zhan Peng, at a business banquet. He was a charismatic man, tall and handsome. Xiang Yang inherited his appearance and personality but also his father’s promiscuity. After our meeting at the banquet, he pursued me intensely, but I was already engaged, with my wedding scheduled two months later. My fiancé was Xiang Yang’s adoptive father.”
Jing Xin now understood that Jiang Xiang Yang had visited his adoptive father at the cemetery several times.
“After much deliberation, I resolutely refused him.”
Although I was somewhat moved at the time, he appeared to be an excellent man who was gentle and went to great lengths to win me over. However, I was aware of our differences; a woman like me could never have a future with such a wealthy young master.
