Chapter 168 Husbands and wives shouldn't kick each other when they're down.

The phone line was disconnected, but Shao Muyan's words still resonated like thunder, leaving Yu Yan stunned for a long time.

Shao Yun, it turns out, is...

Recent events flashed before her eyes, and Yu Yan belatedly realized that this was the reason why Uncle Yan was behaving strangely.

No wonder he's been acting mysteriously ever since he came back from Mesopotamia, frequently going out on business, and he seemed completely distracted when he returned that day.

No wonder, on the day the orphanage caught fire, he kept pressing Shao Yun's birth records, wanting to find out the truth.

She did guess that Uncle Yan's strange behavior was related to Shao Yun's background, after all, Dr. Su had hinted at it to them many times, intentionally or unintentionally, back in Meisuli.

Yu Yan felt that Doctor Su seemed to have figured something out, but he didn't want to say it directly.

If Shao Yun is Shao Muyan's biological son, then Shao Yun's mother...

Yu Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly.

My heart sank heavily.

It seems that she and Shao Muyan experienced the same thing six years ago. Not only did she get pregnant, but the woman who had a relationship with Uncle Yan also became pregnant.

She even gave birth to the child—Shao ​​Yun.

—

Shocked, Chairman Shao and his wife's pupils dilated, and they immediately shifted their gaze from Shao Muyan to Shao Muwen and Yu Wanqiao.

They didn't notice the second brother who had just finished causing trouble.

"How..." Madam Shao began, but her words were cut off in her throat.

Upon seeing this scene, Shao Muyan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing a bitter smile.

It turned out that it wasn't just him who misunderstood; the whole family had misunderstood and tacitly believed that Shao Yun was the eldest brother's child.

When Shao Min brought Shao Yun back to the Shao family, Chairman Shao and his wife tried to subtly inquire about it several times, but Yu Wanqiao always managed to cover it up. They thought that their eldest daughter-in-law was trying to cover up her son's misfortune.

What Shao Mushi and Shao Muyan didn't know was that Chairman Shao and his wife had privately called Shao Muwen home for questioning about this matter, and Chairman Shao had even physically assaulted Shao Muwen.

Even so, Shao Muwen did not budge.

They neither admitted nor denied it, and kept it a secret from everyone for many years.

Shao Muwen and Yu Wanqiao both stood up and stood in a row with Shao Muyan.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Shao Muwen bowed to his family to apologize, and Yu Wanqiao also bowed, saying, "I was involved too."

After pinning Shao Muyan down in his seat, Shao Muwen and Yu Wanqiao explained the whole story.

Everyone listened, their eyes reddening.

Shao Muyan didn't blame his older brother and sister-in-law. What happened back then wasn't their fault. His older brother and sister-in-law had only dragged Shao Yun to their side to protect him and made him take the blame.

Naturally, this was also to protect Shao Yun.

Because we don't know what the instigator, who hasn't yet surfaced, is planning to do in the shadows.

“I knew it,” Chairman Shao sighed deeply, his eyes red, “Yunyun looks exactly like a member of the Shao family, especially like me.”

"..."

Chairman Shao added, "Of course, he's more like Ayan."

Madam Shao went over and patted Shao Muyan's shoulder, comforting him: "It's a blessing in disguise. In any case, having a good child like Yunyun is a blessing for our family."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although Shao Yun is nominally Shao Min's son, he is registered under the names of Shao Mushi and Lin Miao. In the hearts of Chairman Shao and his wife, Shao Yun has long been recognized as their grandson.

They originally thought Shao Yun was the eldest son's child, but they never expected him to be the youngest son's!

She truly went through all three of her sons.

But regardless, the surname is still Shao.

Chairman Shao asked Shao Muyan, "Does Yunyun know about this?"

Shao Muyan shook his head.

"I haven't told him yet."

I want to speak, but I really don't know how to start.

He had no doubt about the bond between him and Shao Yun; regardless of whether they were biologically related, they were the closest people in the world.

But he hadn't figured out how to explain what happened back then to Yunyun. He hadn't even found out who his biological mother was... He was afraid that if Shao Yun knew he was his biological father, he would become distant from him and create a rift between them.

After all, in Shao Yun's mind, how could his biological father be as close as his maternal uncle?

In fact, Shao Muyan is more accepting of Shao Yun calling him "little uncle" than "father".

"Not only Shao Yun, but also Shao Min, Yu Yan..."

Mrs. Shao looked at Shao Muyan with a worried expression. "Yunyun is your son. Does Yu Yan know about this? Can she...accept it?"

When asked about his most tender spot, Shao Muyan shook his head again.

“Uh…” Shao Mushi suddenly made a strange sound.

Everyone looked at him, and Shao Mushi's courage, which he had just mustered, instantly retreated, and he covered his mouth tightly.

Oh no.

Yu Yan already knows...

While the family was still comforting each other, Shao Mushi was frantic, jumping around like an ant on a hot pan. He pulled Lin Miao into the bathroom and blurted out, "What should we do? I've made a huge mess of this!"

Lin Miao glanced at him, "You know that too."

"Who told you to make a video call to Yu Yan without A Yan's consent? Do you even know what A Yan was going to say? You just kept making the call."

Shao Mushi was sweating profusely. "I was just trying to take this opportunity to bring them together. I thought Ayan came back mainly for Yu Yan, but who would have thought Yunyun was involved too! She caught me completely off guard!"

Lin Miao snorted and crossed her arms, saying, "You deserve a beating."

"We're husband and wife, don't kick us when we're down!"

Shao Mushi was practically going crazy. "Don't forget about Yunyun's matter. You still owe me one."

Lin Miao raised her eyelids. "What do I owe you?"

"Back then, you insisted that Yunyun was my illegitimate child, and you kept threatening to divorce me. You almost drove me crazy. Have you forgotten?" Shao Mushi settled the score later.

Lin Miao, unusually guilty, wrinkled her nose. "Did I?"

Shao Mushi gave a heavy "humph".

He's angry about this too.

"Alright, didn't I apologize to you later?" Lin Miao glanced at him. "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have agreed to have Shao Yun's name recorded on both of our household registrations."

Shao Mushi snorted again, and Lin Miao poked the ticklish spot on his abs. Shao Mushi laughed, "Stop messing around..."

Both of them get angry easily, but they can be easily appeased.

"What should I do now? Give me some advice quickly."

Shao Mushi was genuinely panicked. "Third Brother finally made progress with Yu Yan. If I ruin his wife, he'll tear me apart like a roast duck!"

Lin Miao thought for a moment, "Why don't you just tell the truth? It's better to say it sooner rather than later. With Ayan's personality, if you keep something from him, it will be more unbearable for him than if you cause trouble and make him clean it up."

Shao Mushi really couldn't afford to offend his precious younger brother, but he didn't dare to just confess, and was still struggling.

"What about the eldest brother and sister-in-law? They've kept it from Ayan for so many years, and Ayan hasn't done anything to them."

Lin Miao glanced at him speechlessly, "You're comparing yourself to my older brother and sister-in-law? They're willing to risk their lives to protect Ayan and Yunyun, can you do that?"

"..." Shao Mushi thought to himself: Well, my life is life too, Second Master.
