Xiang Yue’s plan was disrupted. Initially, Yun Xiangming didn’t agree to the divorce, so she was going to take the legal route. Then, news ca about their child who had been missing for nineteen years.
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, she had to go to that small town called Dengtong Town to take a look.
The information wasn’t specific; they just inford her that the child had been taken to that place, later adopted by an old woman nad Xie Yan. But whether this child was hers or not was uncertain, so a paternity test would be necessary upon eting.
Even so, Xiang Yue decided to go in person.
After nearly twenty years, she’s been through this many tis. Even if she was disappointed every ti, she never gave up, fearing that one ti it might be true.
She looked at Yun Xiangming beside her. If the child in Dengtong Town really was hers, would she still want a divorce?
They’ll talk about that later.
Yun Xiangming didn’t say much for once, knowing well that the child in Dengtong Town was indeed his.
Many years ago, he and his father already knew.
Because they felt guilty about Qingqing, they kept quiet, fearing that Qingqing might do sothing undesirable and impact the Yun Family. At the ti, the Yun Family was at a critical juncture.
Initially keeping an eye on the child, they eventually found it unbearable, so they stopped following up, even deliberately avoiding anything related to Dengtong Town. They knew Qingqing wouldn’t let the child die.
It’s just that things wouldn’t turn out well for the child.
So, he wanted to have another child with Xiang Yue, but she disagreed, so he sought others. Initially, he hid this from Qingqing, but she eventually found out. He thought she might take so action and was always on guard, but she completely ignored it, focusing solely on making trouble with the child he had with Xiang Yue. After observing, he realized that Qingqing not only resented him but also resented Xiang Yue. Maybe she thought she suffered while Xiang Yue could have a good life with them?
The information was arranged to be leaked to Xiang Yue by him; he didn’t arrange for anyone to further investigate news about Dengtong Town, only revealing information from over a decade ago. Xiang Yue was a smart person; if it were too detailed, it would be suspicious, so he kept it vague enough not to raise her doubts.
As for whether Qingqing would cause an uproar, she wouldn’t. If this matter got out of hand, it wouldn’t benefit anyone. Even if their father felt sorry for her, he wouldn’t allow her to do such a thing. Qingqing, wanting to continue living comfortably, understood she couldn’t make it public, otherwise, Xiang Yue wouldn’t let her off the hook.
Upon reaching Dengtong Town, the bustling environnt left Xiang Yue and Yun Xiangming stunned.
They had visited small towns before, with dilapidated buildings, crowded people, narrow, pothole-strewn streets, and the incessant shouting of hawkers grating on their nerves. If it rained, the streets would be filled with mud pits, making it impossible to walk.
But the streets here were wide, clean, with traffic lights and greenery, featuring unique landmark buildings belonging to this small town.
All of this was completely different from what Yun Xiangming had imagined, worlds apart from the photos he had seen.
Xiang Yue was in such a hurry when she ca that she hadn’t thought Dengtong Town would be this nice. Walking around inside, without considering the size, she might as well be in a big city.
"This place looks pretty good," Xiang Yue said, "If this child really is our son, he might have had a good life these past years."
Yun Xiangming didn’t respond; Qingqing couldn’t have let him live well.
But this place was indeed unexpectedly impressive.
They didn’t blindly search but went straight to the local police station. There was only one person nad Xie Yan matching the age.
However, upon seeing the information, Xiang Yue felt a glimr of hope, while Yun Xiangming was utterly shocked.
The couple quickly left Dengtong Town again, heading to the school where Xie Yan was located.
Ah Chen had already received the news. She had delved into the depths of the Yun Family long ago, knowing that this day would surely co.
There was still soone waiting for Xie Yan, who had never given up.
She thought that if there was a chance, it would be nice to get acquainted, but it would depend on Xie Yan’s own wishes.
Ah Chen made a phone call to Wu Jiuming, the head of the bodyguards protecting Xie Yan in North City.
Seeing the incoming call, Wu Jiuming answered it, showing a respectful deanor: "Boss."
"Recently, so people are looking for Ah Yin, keep a close eye on them. It’s fine if they interact, but if anyone tries to force Ah Yin into doing sothing unwilling, handle it accordingly."
"Understood, Boss." Wu Jiuming responded solemnly. Finally, so action; if this continued with so much salary, he’d feel uneasy, "Boss, about Young Master Xie lately..."
"As long as he’s alive and not being bullied, there’s no need to report his affairs anymore."
To know in advance doesn’t an much.
She wanted Xie Yan to co back and personally tell her everything he had done.
Wu Jiuming silently closed his mouth. The boss seed to be playing with sothing quite new? Yikes, how could he think recklessly about the boss’s matters?
After hanging up, Ah Chen sat down in front of the computer to browse novels. A few websites had already erged, but the current equipnt and network were quite outdated. Initially, she found the operation a bit unfamiliar, but after so practice, she slowly got used to it.
After reading for a while, Ah Chen started playing a small ga. She clicked with the mouse as if she could see through the screen, playing the Minesweeper ga without ever hitting a bomb.
"Wow, Aunt, you’re really amazing!"
Ah Chen was flanked by two kids, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the screen, filled with desire.
Lv Sihua tugged at Ah Chen’s right arm, while Lv Sirong tugged at her left, swaying back and forth: "Aunt, can we play for a while?"
"You get to play five rounds. After playing, you need to go do your howork." Ah Chen stepped aside, and the two little ones dragged their chairs over to sit down.
Lv Sirong went first.
Five rounds passed quickly, and with a sigh, he was pushed aside by Lv Sihua: "Play and then quickly go do your howork. Why are you taking up space here."
Soon, Lv Sihua was also downcast. Why did he keep hitting the bombs? Why was Aunt so good at it?
"Sis, go do your howork, stop dazing around." Lv Sirong pulled Lv Sihua away, his face showing a schadenfreude smile.
Lv Sihua pinched his cheek: "How dare you laugh at !"
"Aunt, we’re going to do our howork."
Ah Chen nodded with a smile: "Go on."
The two kids playfully wrestled their way out, quieting down in no ti, probably starting their howork.
Ah Chen received a call from Xie Yan.
"Sister Ah Chen, they’ve co looking for ." Xie Yan’s voice seed a bit cold, lacking much emotion, very different from how he used to speak, even carrying a slight detachnt and indifference, not directed at Ah Chen, but toward that couple.
"The paternity test is done, and they are indeed my parents."
"I feel no closeness or expectation towards them, and I’ve t my biological mother as well. As you said before, she’s not a bad person, cried pitifully, but I couldn’t be moved."
"Sister Ah Chen, do you think I’m a bit cold and unfeeling?"
Ah Chen asked, "Is being cold and unfeeling a heinous cri? In this world, there are passionate people, so there must be cold ones too. You haven’t hard anyone, so why can’t you maintain your own personality?"
There was a mont of silence on the other end.
After about a minute, Xie Yan said: "I understand, Sister Ah Chen."
"I won’t be cold and unfeeling towards Sister Ah Chen." He added a sentence, his voice which was originally cold turned light-hearted and sincere.
Never ever.
Toward Sister Ah Chen, he would harbor all his passion.
He had a wish he couldn’t voice, wanting Sister Ah Chen to leave the Shen Family.
"I’ve just grown up, and long stopped having expectations for my parents. They feel very foreign to . Even if there are good ones among them, I can’t go against my wishes to pretend to be close. But as long as they don’t harm , I won’t reject normal interactions. Likewise, they can’t intervene in my life."
They have no right.
His voice turned indifferent again, sounding quite heartless.
Ah Chen smiled, "Just choose what’s in your heart."
Xie Yan felt a surge of impulse. He liked Sister Ah Chen and wanted to be with her. Could he really? But he didn’t dare to say.
"Have you gotten used to it?" Ah Chen asked, "Take care of yourself."
Xie Yan ca to life again: "I’ve gotten used to it."
The corners of his mouth lifted up, it was a silent joy.
Yuan Zhicheng watched him as he talked on the phone, observing how warmth suddenly seed to radiate from him, his smile like a little sun, giving Yuan Zhicheng a shiver, people sure can change quickly.
The boss was really gutsy, having a thought about Lv Chen.
Didn’t he find her intimidating?
Anyway, he found her scary.
It always hurt when she hit.
