Jian Shichu asked, "Is Xiao Shengchi Xiao Qiang's only son?"
"Not exactly," Liangyuan replied. "Xiao Shengchi's mother was Xiao Qiang's second wife. Xiao Qiang's first wife was Qin Fanglan. Xiao Qiang and Qin Fanglan had a son, originally named Xiao Ze, but now called Qin Ze..."
Liangyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master, there's more to the story. Do you want to hear it?"
Jian Shichu responded nonchalantly, "Go ahead."
"Yes, Young Master," Liangyuan said respectfully. "Xiao Qiang and Qin Fanglan were college classmates; they fell in love freely. Shortly after Qin Ze was born, Xiao Qiang met Xiao Shengchi's biological mother, Yang Caixin. Yang Caixin came from a privileged family, her father was the deputy mayor of our Star Sea City at the time. Xiao Qiang was handsome and charming back then, and Yang Caixin took a liking to him."
