~13 min read 2,574 words

The news about Luo Quan's younger sister had already caused a stir both domestically and abroad. Originally, the media wasn't sure if Angela and Luo Quan were related, but after Luo Quan's status on Bilibili spread, everyone at least believed it to some extent.

Whether they were sisters or not, this Angela definitely had a connection with Luo Quan; otherwise, Luo Quan wouldn't have asked for leave and stopped streaming.

Although she didn't say it, she must have booked a plane ticket and was preparing to go to New York to find out.

The reporters and paparazzi, who were always sharp, calculated the fastest time from Shanghai to New York and waited at the airport in advance.

Before this, Luo Quan had never been surrounded by reporters at the airport because every time she traveled, she only posted a status to tell everyone after reaching her destination.

Furthermore, there were no moles around her who would leak her itinerary.

But this time, everyone knew she must have gone to New York.

As long as they guarded the airport exit and observed carefully, with her outstanding looks and figure, as long as she didn't wrap herself up like a woman in the Middle East, she would definitely be recognized!

If Luo Quan had known in advance that the paparazzi would come to intercept her, she would definitely have disguised herself.

It's a pity she hadn't made much preparation beforehand; she only wore a scarf and a pair of sunglasses, not even a mask.

So, as soon as she left the airport, she was surrounded by a large group of reporters who had been waiting for her.

The reporters knew Luo Quan was capable; she wouldn't hit people in public, but if she turned and ran, they really might not be able to catch up.

Now that her path was blocked, she couldn't run away at all.

"Luo Quan, is Angela really your younger sister as rumored?"

"Luo Quan, are you planning to meet Angela this time in New York?"

"Luo Quan, does your younger brother Gao Liang and your father, Baron Eric, know about this?"

"Luo Quan, what is your opinion of Angela?"

"Luo Quan, you..."

……………………

One question after another bombarded Luo Quan. She was actually prepared for this. After waiting for the reporters to finish asking, she said softly: "Sorry, I cannot give a definite answer to this matter at the moment, so I have no comment."

"Do you really not know? Or do you just not want to say?"

"Are you refusing to answer because you are worried that this will have any impact on you?"

The reporters pursued her relentlessly.

Luo Quan frowned slightly: "Not to mention that this is my private matter, I have the right to refuse to answer.

Taking a step back, even if she is my younger sister, would it have any bad impact on me? I would be too happy to be unhappy!"

The reporters smiled cunningly: "Then you are admitting that you came to New York to confirm your relationship with Angela, right?"

Luo Quan took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to lose her temper: "Since you all know, why come and ask me?"

"Just want to hear you confirm it yourself."

"Since you've admitted it, reveal a bit more. The public is very concerned about this matter."

Luo Quan sighed helplessly: "There really is nothing to say right now. Can you let me handle the matter before interviewing me?"

Even though she had said this much, the reporters remained unmoved.

It had been hard to block Luo Quan; God knows if there would be such a good opportunity in the future. If they waited until the matter was resolved to interview her, what if she patted her butt and returned to China?

Anyway, Luo Quan had a good temper; she hadn't gotten angry even after being blocked like this, so why not let her reveal some useful information?

Although it sounded shameless, many reporters actually felt quite sorry for Luo Quan in their hearts.

But there was no other way in this line of work; you have to shamelessly dig into celebrities' secrets, otherwise, where would the traffic come from? Where would the popularity come from?

On the other hand, being a celebrity means you have to bear all this. The hotter you are, the more the outside world likes to pay attention to you. If you were an ordinary person, who would care if you had an extra sister or brother?

But that's how it's said; when it really happens, everyone feels a headache.

Just as Luo Quan was considering whether to punch her way out, her savior arrived.

A long line of black Ford motorcades drove to the side of the road. The doors opened, and a row of men in black suits and sunglasses stepped out.

These men in sunglasses were burly and had faces full of bitterness; they didn't look like people to be trifled with.

After getting out of the car, they went straight up and pushed aside the reporters surrounding Luo Quan, opening up a path for her.

The reporters were pushed aside roughly and wanted to turn their heads in anger to see who dared to do this, but after seeing these men in sunglasses, they instantly subsided.

Although digging for news was important, their lives were clearly more important. They didn't have the stubborn spirit of Japanese reporters who would risk their lives for news.

"Miss Luo Quan, we are subordinates of Young Master Fred. Please get into this car." A man in sunglasses walked up and pointed to a black car in front of her.

"Thank you." Luo Quan thanked him and sat in the car.

In the car were Gao Liang and the others. Fred was driving, Seifert was in the front passenger seat, and Gao Liang was sitting in the back.

Gao Liang looked at Luo Quan and smiled: "It's a good thing Seifert asked Fred to send someone to pick you up, otherwise you would have been blocked there today."

Luo Quan let out a long sigh of relief: "These reporters have noses as sharp as dogs. I don't know how long they've been waiting here.

This is really thanks to you guys; otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do.

By the way, Gao Liang, did you find out the information I asked you to?"

"Found it." Gao Liang pulled a document from behind him. "This is Angela's family information and personal resume."

Luo Quan asked while flipping through it: "Can you confirm if she is our younger sister?"

Gao Liang nodded: "Basically confirmed."

"Angela White, American, mother is Carlisle Prian, adoptive father is Harris White..."

Luo Quan paused and asked: "Who is this Harris White? Does he have any background?"

Gao Liang replied: "He is a quite wealthy tycoon with a chain of gun stores in the United States."

"Gun chain stores?" Luo Quan was stunned. "Being able to open this kind of store can't be summarized as just 'quite wealthy.'

By the way, Fred, your family seems to be in the military industry. Do you know this Harris White?"

Fred smiled and explained: "Gun sales and military industry are not quite the same.

We are the manufacturers, they are the sellers; there is a fundamental difference.

However, I do know this Harris White. He is quite familiar with my father, but I haven't met him many times, so I don't know exactly what kind of person he is.

But his company is quite large in the United States, and he is well-connected in both the underworld and the legitimate world."

"So he's still a big shot," Luo Quan muttered.

After understanding the family Angela lived in, Luo Quan looked at Angela's personal resume again.

When Angela was eight, her mother married Harris, and she also became Harris's adoptive daughter.

Angela had been intelligent since she was a child, always able to complete her studies a year or two ahead of her peers. She was now attending Columbia University, majoring in law and psychology, and was also a senior member of the Mensa Club.

Looking at it this way, this was completely the script of a heaven-favored daughter, if you ignored her childhood that lacked fatherly love.

Seifert said: "I went to contact several classmates in her department yesterday. They all said Angela's personality is usually a bit withdrawn; except for a few familiar classmates, she basically doesn't talk to others.

However, her personality is quite good; she belongs to the 'cold on the outside, warm on the inside' type."

"If it's this kind of closed personality, it won't be easy to deal with," Luo Quan rubbed her chin, feeling that the matter might be a bit tricky.

But no matter what, she would only know if she was easy to deal with after meeting her.

"Did you make an appointment to meet Angela?" Luo Quan asked Gao Liang.

Gao Liang replied: "I told her roommate, but I don't know if she'll come."

Luo Quan nodded: "Then let's go to the agreed place first."

Soon, Fred drove to the agreed location, a coffee shop on the street next to Columbia University.

There were no customers in the coffee shop today. The clerk was playing with his phone at the bar, not even noticing that a guest had come in!

Luo Quan and Gao Liang wore hats and sunglasses, choosing a seat in the corner where no one was. Fred and Seifert sat next to them, not at the same table as the two siblings.

After about ten minutes, a beautiful girl with short blonde hair walked into the coffee shop; it was Angela.

"She's here." Luo Quan reminded Gao Liang beside her, who quickly straightened his body, trying to make his image look serious.

"Here." Luo Quan raised her hand and waved at Angela, calling out softly.

After seeing it, Angela walked toward her and sat opposite Luo Quan and Gao Liang.

"Do you want coffee?" Gao Liang asked, looking slightly nervous. Clearly, he also had no mental preparation for suddenly having an extra younger sister. Now that they were meeting, it was inevitable that there would be some pressure.

Angela shook her head: "No need, I didn't come here to drink coffee."

"Since you're here, it means you should also know... about the matter of your life experience." Luo Quan considered her wording as much as possible, not wanting to stimulate Angela.

"Where is that scumbag?" Angela looked around, not seeing the man who had abandoned her and her mother.

She had seen plenty of his photos; she wouldn't forget them even if he turned to ash!

Angela spoke rudely. Luo Quan and Gao Liang smiled awkwardly but didn't have any intention of getting angry.

Because her old man was indeed a scumbag in this regard. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for her and Gao Liang to say this, let alone Angela.

"Father is very guilty; he doesn't know how to face you and your mother, but he definitely wants to come and is already on his way." Luo Quan also covered for her old man here.

In fact, her old man was still waiting for her news, waiting to determine Angela's attitude before making plans.

"That's all the courage he has." Angela sneered.

Luo Quan and Gao Liang looked at each other, feeling that if they dragged it out, it would likely make the situation worse, so they planned to change the plan temporarily.

"How about this, you have a video call with him. He actually has a lot to say to you." Luo Quan said, taking out her phone and sending a video request to her father.

Angela didn't say anything, just crossed her arms.

In psychology, this is a manifestation of resistance and alertness.

But since she didn't refuse out loud, it meant she still wanted to talk to this scumbag.

The video was quickly connected, and Eric's face appeared on the phone.

"Daughter." Eric called out subconsciously, but after seeing Angela's appearance clearly, his whole body stiffened.

This wasn't Luo Quan; it was Angela!

"Daughter..." Eric called out again, his tone full of guilt.

"I am not your daughter." Angela said expressionlessly.

Eric's expression became even more bitter: "I know, I don't deserve to be your father, I just want to..."

"Want to get forgiveness, right?" Angela sneered. "Do you think you can get redemption with just a few words?

Do you know how my mom lived through those years? You patted your butt and left; do you think leaving some money can make up for the harm you caused her?"

"I'm sorry." Eric didn't know what to say or how to say it; he could only apologize.

"Save the apologies for next time when you say them to my mom; see if she is willing to forgive you."

After speaking, Angela reached out and hung up the video call.

At this moment, a sense of pleasure flashed in Angela's eyes.

Although appearing on the TCC website wasn't her intention, it was just posted by a few nosy classmates who wanted to trick clicks, but she didn't expect it to finally reach such a high level and cause such big news.

If she could, she would rather never meet that scumbag in her life; she was actually living quite well now!

However, paper can't wrap fire in the end.

When this identity was discovered, Angela knew she would have to face these things sooner or later.

She had already rehearsed this conversation today; making this scumbag suffer pain and guilt without getting redemption was her original intention. She felt very happy after doing all this.

If she could, she also wanted her mother to come and take revenge.

"Angela, Father said he is really, really guilty and really, really wants to compensate you and your mother.

I know it's impossible for you to forgive him immediately, and he should indeed accept punishment, but I think you can have a good talk with him next time." Luo Quan said to Angela with a sincere expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have abandoned you and your mother too." Angela's attitude toward Luo Quan was clearly much more relaxed.

"Don't you hate him at all?"

Facing Angela's question, Luo Quan didn't know what to say.

Should she say that she wasn't actually her father's daughter?

Gao Liang sighed and said: "Father was indeed an out-and-out scumbag when he was young, but there's no way around it. The harm has already been caused. He wants to make amends now, but I know this isn't something that can be made up for in a few words.

Even, it's understandable if you and your mother don't want to forgive him at all. It's just that I think, at least let's not talk like enemies.

No matter what, we are all relatives. Even if you don't recognize him, at least my sister and I are also your relatives."

Angela's resistant posture relaxed slightly. Toward Gao Liang and Luo Quan, she really had no hatred. She had been blinded by hatred just now, but she had forgotten the feelings of her brother and sister.

The scumbag's mistakes should be repaid by the scumbag, but this has nothing to do with other relatives.

Angela nodded and said softly: "I know, I will slowly try to accept you." ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
