The next morning, after breakfast, both of them set out one after another.
Su Chen had already considered that if he really ended up sleeping with Lin Ruoxue, he wouldn't be able to guarantee his nightly cultivation.
So he decided to split his ti, spending half at the company and the other half on cultivation.
After all, he was still a nominal departnt head, and it wouldn't be right to never show up at work.
As Su Chen was driving halfway, he suddenly received a phone call. It was Su Jin calling him to discuss sothing at Jinsheng Group.
Su Chen imdiately agreed. He had always been curious about the relationship between himself and the elusive owner of the Jinsheng Group.
He found it strange that this person would be his aunt, whom he had never t or even heard of before.
However, all of this could only be known after eting her.
Su Chen quickly drove to Jinsheng Group, and then under the guidance of the receptionist, he took the elevator to the top floor.
Finally, he t this mysterious woman with whom he had only a brief encounter, in a huge and luxurious office.
"Little Tian..."
The mont she saw him, a smile imdiately appeared on Su Jin's face.
But her words were cut off by Su Chen:
"I'm now more accustod to people calling Su Chen. The na Su Tian is a thing of the past."
Su Chen said indifferently, the ntion of that na bringing back mories of the past.
"Alright then, Little Chen, please have a seat,"
Su Jin said as she pointed to a sofa in the office. She then got up and sat down on a smaller sofa beside it.
"You must have many questions you want to ask ,"
She said with a smile.
Su Chen nodded at this; indeed, he had many doubts that he needed her to clarify.
"Actually, the situation is not complicated. You'll understand once I finish explaining,"
Su Jin spoke softly.
"Alright, you speak, I'll listen,"
For so reason, at this mont, he didn't call her "aunt" like he did that day.
Su Jin took a sip of tea, then looked at him and began:
"I'm not actually your biological aunt. I am your grandfather's illegitimate daughter."
Upon hearing this first statent, Su Chen was sowhat startled, but he didn't say anything and let her continue.
"My mother was nothing special, just an ordinary woman. It's just that she and my father, your grandfather, shared a common hobby, which was traveling."
"Once, she traveled to Tibet, and your grandfather, who also enjoyed traveling, happened to be there too. Since they were both from Yandu, they inevitably felt a kinship and thus traveled together."
"Over the following half a month, they fell in love and beca intimate."
At this point, Su Jin slightly smiled, then looked at Su Chen:
"It's quite a lodramatic story, isn't it? Just like what you'd see in the soap operas nowadays."
"It's indeed quite lodramatic."
Su Chen also managed a helpless smile, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
"The story that follows might be even more lodramatic."
Su Jin said with a smile:
"Actually, from the beginning, my mother knew that my father was already married and even had a son, but love doesn't reason; once you fall in love, that's it."
"After returning from Tibet, the two of them still secretly maintained their relationship as lovers. Although it was not more than two years before your grandmother passed away from illness, my mother knew that the threshold of the Su Family was too high, and it was impossible for them to marry a common woman like her, nor did she ever dream of entering the Su Family's door."
"My father was also quite decent, although he couldn't marry my mother, he didn't remarry either, and the two of them continued to maintain that secret relationship."
"When I was twelve years old, I t my older brother—your father—for the first ti; he was sixteen then, brought by my father."
"Although our father had told us before that he was going to bring him to et us, we were still very nervous and worried he would reject us. After all, no matter how you look at it, my mother was the first 'other woman'."
"But surprisingly, my brother was very kind to us. I still rember the first thing he said to . He told , 'I've always hoped to have a sister, and I never imagined that today my dream would co true.'
As she got to this point, Su Jin's tears began to flow unconsciously:
"I saw sincerity in his clear eyes, and I instantly took a liking to this brother. He affectionately called my mother 'Auntie' and thanked her for taking care of our father all these years."
"After he said that, my mother cried!"
"From then on, he would often co to visit us and even bring us gifts."
"When my mother unfortunately passed away in a car accident at my age of eighteen, it was he who, fearing sothing might happen to , stayed with for three days and nights."
"After I graduated and said I wanted to start a business, my father disagreed, but in the end, it was he who secretly gave a sum of money."
"When my father found out I had started a business, he was furious. In the end, it was my brother who persuaded him."
"Whenever my business encountered difficulties, he was always the first to help ."
"You could say, even though he wasn't my biological brother, he was closer to than a real one!"
At this mont, Su Jin was crying so hard that her makeup had sared, and her voice was sowhat unsteady.
After taking a mont to compose herself, she continued:
"However, the Su Family is, after all, a prominent clan, and being an illegitimate daughter is never a flattering label. So, our interactions had always been very cautious, and our secrecy was well maintained; therefore, no one else knew of my existence."
"My father was the first to pass away, and it was due to illness. At that ti, my brother and I both thought it was normal and had no suspicions because our father was quite old, and birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things."
"But when my brother and sister-in-law's accidents happened one after another, I knew it had to be murder; otherwise, it could not possibly be such a coincidence!"
"I vowed then that I would stop at nothing to avenge my father, brother, and sister-in-law's deaths, even if it ant risking my own life!"
"After my sister-in-law died, I imdiately wanted to find you, but when I went to the Su Family the day after her death, pretending to be my brother's friend and asked to see you, they told you had disappeared!"
"Over these many years, I have been searching for you with no news at all, until not long ago, when I went to pay respects to my father and brother and sister-in-law, I saw you kneeling there, weeping bitterly, and I knew then that you were Su Tian, you had co back!"
By the ti she reached this point, Su Jin's face was covered in tears, and her entire body was trembling slightly...
"Do you know how afraid I've been over the years that you might no longer be alive? I am so grateful that Heaven has shown rcy, allowing to finally find you!"
"Auntie, don't cry, I've co back, and I am fine."
Su Chen reached out with both hands, gently wiping away the tears on Su Jin's face.
At this mont, he finally understood the entire circumstances...
