As soon as the door opened, Ye Anxin’s face blossod with a smile, "Mom! What are you doing? Why did you take so long to open the door?"
Mother Ye nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, bit her lip, and forced a smile, "It’s nothing, I was just sleeping and didn’t hear the door knock!"
"Oh!" Ye Anxin responded, stepping past her mother and directly entering the house, looking around the room puzzledly, "Where’s Dad? It’s early in the morning, did he go out sowhere?"
Mom lowered her head and said with a deeper aning, "I... I drove him out! When we talk as mother and daughter, having him around is always in the way! So, I drove him out!"
"Oh! That’s right! When we talk in private as mother and daughter, he shouldn’t be around!" Saying that, Ye Anxin sat down on the sofa.
"You’re here so early, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet? I just cooked so porridge, let’s eat together!" Saying this, without waiting for Ye Anxin’s response, she fled to the kitchen.
Ye Anxin didn’t put her mother’s strange behavior at heart and actively went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
Mom’s breakfast was always simple, white porridge with oil sticks, or so leftover dishes from yesterday!
Knowing Ye Anxin was coming today, she even went to buy buns and soy milk.
Ye Anxin had a bowl of porridge, two buns, and a cup of soy milk before her stomach felt full.
After eating, Mother Ye clumsily started to clear the table, thinking about how to start talking about what was on her mind. In an unguarded mont, the bowl and chopsticks in her hand slipped and fell to the floor, shattering into pieces instantly.
The sound of the porcelain bowl breaking on the floor startled the absent-minded mother, causing her to jump.
Ye Anxin quickly got up, helped her mother to the sofa, and jokingly said, "Mom, rest for a while! I’ll clean up! Otherwise, you’ll break all the bowls and chopsticks!" She didn’t wait for her mother to speak and rolled up her sleeves to start cleaning.
In no ti, Ye Anxin had swiftly washed and put away all the bowls and chopsticks, leaving the table sparkling clean.
After washing the grease off her hands, Ye Anxin took out hand cream from her backpack and applied it!
Ye Anxin sat down next to her mother, comforting her, "Mom, Uncle just told he has taken care of everything! You don’t need to worry anymore; no one will threaten you again! We can live here with peace of mind! If you’re still worried, I can find another place, and we can move so that person won’t find you!"
Mother Ye, who had been sitting tensely on the sofa, didn’t really hear what Ye Anxin was saying when she sat beside her. Suddenly, she nervously grabbed her hand, "Anxin, Mom... Mom has sothing to tell you! After you hear it, please don’t bla Mom, Mom had no choice!"
Seeing her mother’s anxious face, Ye Anxin rolled her eyes and teased, "Mom, what are you doing? Why are you so nervous? We’ve been relying on each other for twenty years, no matter what you do, I won’t bla you!"
Mother Ye looked at Ye Anxin’s face and uncertainly asked, "Really?"
Ye Anxin nodded, solemnly assured, "Of course! Mom, don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I bla you? Besides, I understand you; even if you really did sothing, it was for my own good! Your heart is for , and I won’t bla you!"
Hearing Ye Anxin say this, Mother Ye’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed a little, "Anxin, you truly are Mom’s good daughter!"
Ye Anxin grasped her mother’s hand back, and gently said, "Mom, tell ! What’s making you so nervous? Tell , maybe I can help you share the burden!"
Mother lowered her head, continuously brewing in her heart, taking deep breaths!
Knowing that she was nervous, Ye Anxin didn’t rush her, just sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for her mother to speak.
After a while, Mother seed to have made a significant decision, suddenly raised her head, mustered the courage, and spoke in one go, fearing she would hesitate again, "Anxin, your current father is not your biological father! Your father’s surna is Nan, he is the head of the Du City Nan Family!"
Hearing her mother’s words, Ye Anxin’s mind suddenly went blank, her whole person was stunned in place, staring at her mother in disbelief for a long ti unable to react.
Seeing Ye Anxin dazedly staring at her, Mother Ye gently shook her arm, concerned, "An... Anxin, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Mom! Are you okay?"
Ye Anxin forced a smile, "Mom, are you joking with ? How could my dad not be my dad?"
Mother Ye’s eyes reddened, she bowed her head in sha, sadly said, "Anxin, Mom knows you can’t accept this! But, this is the truth, Ye Shan really is not your biological father! Your biological father is Du City Nan Family’s Nan Mingchuan!"
Ye Anxin emotionally grabbed her mother’s arm, uncontrollably asked, "How can this be? Mom, tell , how can this be? How could my father be Nan Mingchuan?"
Even though she kept telling herself to stay calm, she thought she was prepared before her mother spoke!
However, she never expected her mother would tell her this!
She thought her mother just wanted to talk about past grievances and history! Unexpectedly... she really didn’t expect this! She wasn’t her current father’s biological daughter!
Mother lowered her head, slowly said, "You should know, I lost my mother when I was young, depended on my father growing up in the countryside, not very educated, timid! Soone like should have found a man to marry like my female friends around , and live a dull and ordinary life! At that ti, I was indeed engaged to a man from the sa village! Just as we were preparing to get married, your grandfather suddenly felt unwell, village doctors couldn’t find the problem, so we were told to see a doctor in the city! At first, your grandfather refused to go, thinking the village doctors were making a big deal out of nothing! I didn’t pay much attention then either! Until later, your grandfather’s condition beca increasingly serious, coughing nonstop from morning to night, each cough bringing up a lot of blood! I realized the seriousness then, and despite your grandfather’s opposition, I took all our savings to pull him to Du City! All my tragedies began the mont I stepped into the city called Du City!"
At this point, Mother Ye paused, continued, "Upon arriving at Du City, we rented the cheapest house in a slum! During the day, I took your grandfather to the hospital, at night, I went to work to earn money! After a series of examinations, your grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer, already mid-to-late stage, surgery was urgently needed, otherwise, he would only live for another year at most!"
