But there wasn't much change in her eyes and emotions. She knew very perfectly that nothing would happen in such a way because, of course, she is actually nobody in front of them.

'Why will they let me in when they aren't aware who I am exactly?' she can't help but laugh at her own foolishness. 

Practically, she is just like one of the unknown strangers knocking on the door.

"Well, go and tell them that if you want to talk about Tang Ni, let me in. Otherwise, I will tell the whole world about it." Guard looked at her with narrowed eyes. He can't believe that a weak woman like her, was actually trying to blackmail the Quan family.

"They still won't let you in any way. Why are you so keen on wasting your time?" the tone which he used made Su Xi wonder what personal grudge he exactly had with her?

She is simply asking him to go and convey her words to the people inside but he is still overreacting. But anyway, Su Xi only threw a trick of hers. Only if this trick works.

"It's my time, not yours. So better do as I say and ask them to let me in to talk about Tang Ni. Otherwise, don't take my words as a bluff at all." The guard went inside but he was confident that nothing would happen. they will reject this lady again.

But to his surprise, he got orders to let the lady, waiting outside in her car, in.

Coming out, he looked at Su Xi with furrowed eyes but Su Xi simply ignored it. "What an idiot." They don't even do their duty and think that she will be fooled too easily.

Just because they are the guard of the Quan family doesn't mean that she will let them say and she will listen to whatever they say.

The big gate was opened in front of her as Su Xi rode her car inside the ambiance. Although, as a rich woman herself, she has seen many places like this for the very first time, she felt that this was any other world. 

The Quan family was not only famous for the longest family, which held their roots in the business world, but also for the wealth and the strength that they held. No matter how many generations passed away, the Quan family is still at the top.

All the newbies like her, Gu Yan are simply nothing in their eyes and for them, they can take over Gu and Su's business in just a blink of an eye.

"AT least now I know that they do know about Tang Ni in a manner. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me in." SU Xi concluded with the guard's behavior.

Although, she had no idea that this would work in any way. All she did was to put forward her invite and they actually invited her inside their house just by her few sentences. That's something, making her more and more curious to know about her mother's birthplace.

Parking the car, Su Xi opened her door and got out of the car, as her eyes landed on the magnificent mansion. No comparison of this place as Su Xi can say that they have maintained it well.

The mansion was specially made of marbles and somewhere of special stones, which are rare at this time and can't be found so easily. But leaving these thoughts behind, Su Xi walked out the main entrance as she stepped inside the Quan mansion.

An elderly man came near her who looked almost in his mid-fifties but anyway, she wasn't there to ask his age. "You must be Ms. Su. right?" Su Xi nodded her head.

"Welcome to the Quan mansion. The guard outside told us what you said and the elder master is waiting for you in the drawing-room to talk about the matter and rest of the family members as well."

"Elder master… you mean Quan Cheng, right?" The butler bowed in front of her as Su Xi understood that it was a sigh of yes. No one would dare to take the name of the elder master because he was quite senior to all of them.

But Su Xi cared less. She has immense respect for everyone but if they try to harm her in any way or try to mess with her, then she will not stay silent just because they are her elders also.

She followed the butler behind, while her eyes looked around and talked also where the different photos were hung. But none matched with the black and white picture she received a few months back.

She did not see that face anywhere in the mansion but this doesn't make her lose her hope. Instead, her strong intuition was making her even or convinced that they're the mother's family and she wasn't an orphan.

'How many things have you kept hidden from all of us, mom? Did you not even tell this to dad?' she can't help but sigh as she finally reaches the drawing-room.

First of all, her eyes fell on the old person, sitting in the middle of the drawing-room. Hair was white, with a stick in his hand but more than that, the aura was more attractive. She knew that this is why most of the people are afraid of him. 

But she didn't take any initiative to speak. All she did was to bow in front of him in a sign of respect and greetings. Her eyes were glued to the shape and clever eyes of Elder Master Quan.

For her, everything was fading away, even the elder madam Quan sitting beside him. But she had no clue that, if this was her grandmother or not?

"Su Xi... Nice to see you here. I shall welcome you to my place, the Quan mansion. I'm the Elder master Quan or Quan Cheng." he introduced himself but she could feel that his eyes were roaming all over her body, noticing if she was afraid of his aura or not.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Quan. and I do know who you are. Of course, I have been in business for so long and your name is already so popular." The sarcasm was quite clear.

But he laughed at her words, "I'm already old enough and I left the business quite long. Now, my children are handling it, and my grandchildren. I have no interference in it anymore. So, all thanks to them for making Quan business reach the heights."

At this time, her eyes traveled to the other people sitting in the room. Beside him, was the elder madam Quan but to her, she was quite young compared to the Elder Master. Not too young also but at least in her sixties, whereas the elder master looked in his late eighties.

And others were, his children, quite old may be closer to her father's age and late mother if she was alive at this time. They all were old enough but still, the youngest was reflected on their face which made Su Xi wonder if they are of age or not.

"Is that so? Maybe yes, Mr. Quan. but today, I'm not here to talk about your business or something else." Su Xi spoke.

"I know.. The guard told me what you said and I was quite surprised that this name came up after so long.. You are Su heir but why are you suddenly interested in my family?" He came to the main topic.

Su Xi can see clearly that she was trying to make her feel fear around him but to his disappointment, Su Xi was nowhere to be afraid of him. She was here for her motive and there wasn't anything that can make her feel inferior in any manner.

But, what she wasn't able to comprehend was, if he was eating or was really interested to know why she is here? 'He's acting like he has no relationships with my mother.. As if he isn't my mom's father..' This made Su Xi once again doubt if she is present in the right place or not.

One side was the proof she has, and another was his acting was mainly her confusion and maybe more distracting also.

"I'm Su Xi, the daughter of Tang Ni and Su Zian .You might be very well aware of it for a long period. After all, you have different relationships and share the same blood. But I'm clueless about my mother's relations with his family." 

"What do you mean to say? Say it clearly, Ms. Su. We don't have time to spare for you. Everyone has special work and I only let you in because I felt that maybe you could have an emergency." Quan Cheng's stern voice sounded in the whole hall.

"I'm here to ask you, was my mother.. A daughter of this mother? Was my mother, Tang Ni, your illegitimate child from an affair out?"
