Chapter 516: Past Events

"At that time we were still living in the high-end apartment he bought."

"Who is he?"

A muffled remark came out of the man's arms.

Yan Yi smiled, reached out and patted her head, thinking that she was really frozen silly, and whispered,

"Genetically, he's my father."

Shen Pianpian stopped talking.

Yan Yi continued,

"Before I was ten, my mother kept telling me that my father would take me back to a beautiful home. She treated me very well back then. But after I turned ten, I don't know from which day on, she started drinking and smoking, and she would wear heavy makeup to go clubbing. Every day after school, I would go to the bar she frequented to block people. Countless times, I would pull her out of the arms of various men and bring her home. After being beaten by those men, I would be beaten again when I got home. After beating her half to death, I would get up and cook for her to prevent her from starving to death..."

Yan Yi chuckled softly.

His voice seemed to carry a hint of amusement from those silly times.

Shen Pianpian didn't smile.

She thought of what Du Ruo had once told her about the boy from the slums.

Those bloodstains left by one's own mother are not something that people would find funny.

Yan Yi continued to speak beside my ear, his voice was faint, close at hand in the cold and closed space, with a slight warmth.

"Later, her acting career was in jeopardy because of these bad habits, and then the house was suddenly taken back by the man for some reason, so we moved to a normal neighborhood."

"I originally thought that this was proof that the man had completely cut off ties with her, and that she would finally come to her senses. But I was wrong. This was just the beginning."

He first met the man when he was fourteen.

He brought his original wife, who blocked him not far from the school with a bad look on her face.

They sat in the Maybach with graceful lines and sleek body, wearing neat and gorgeous clothes, with only their cold side faces showing from the car windows.

He was wearing a tattered school uniform, pushing a second-hand bicycle and standing on the roadside. Through the window that was not completely rolled down, he could see his face, which was as white as a ghost.

When he was a child, he just felt that his father was not at home.

After he turned ten, he began to vaguely understand what kind of existence his mother meant to his father.

At the age of fourteen, he finally confirmed this conjecture for the first time.

Even though he was well prepared, such a scene still made him feel embarrassed and extremely ashamed.

At that time, he was still a person who knew how to feel ashamed and embarrassed about his identity.

Yan Yi smiled and continued,

"Then we went to the coffee shop. The man was waiting in the car, and the woman was like a queen facing her servants... no, not even servants."

Yan Yi narrowed his eyes and began to recall the expression of that arrogant woman at that time.

"It was more like looking at a fly stuck on her beautiful, sweet cake."

"But at the same time, she somehow had this expression of compassion for the fly."

·

"I can accept you, but I can't accept your mother."

The summer sunshine of Yungang poured in from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. The air conditioning in the coffee shop was very strong. When the woman lowered her head to drink coffee, the sparkling diamond on her ear shone so brightly that it almost hurt his eyes.

The woman raised her head and tried to put on a friendly smile.

"You are already in your teens and should know a lot of things. I hope you can understand my feelings."

"I can allow you to live in the Shao family and enjoy the same treatment as my children, but your mother must disappear from my sight forever."
