Chapter 103 Adopted Child
Jiang Shaofeng didn't say anything, but his hands hanging by his side subconsciously tightened.
Jiang Shaofeng had heard and read many of the miraculous rumors about Ye Wanxi, but he still didn't expect that she would see through his little thoughts at a glance.
"If that's the case, why bother looking for it at all?"
Jiang Shaofeng's heart trembled. This was the first time someone asked him this in all these years.
"Because that is my sin, and I must atone for it myself."
Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly: "Even if they abandon you because of this?"
"That's my own fault, I can't blame anyone else."
The two of them chattered back and forth as if they were playing a game of charades, leaving everyone around them confused.
The agent, who had some knowledge of Jiang Shaofeng's family situation, felt a chill run down his spine. He coughed lightly and interjected, "Well, Shaofeng, this is a film set, a public place. It's probably not appropriate to handle private matters here. Why don't you invite Miss Ye to the lounge to talk privately?"
Jiang Shaofeng said nothing after hearing this, but turned to look at Ye Wanxi.
Seeing this, the agent also stared nervously at Ye Wanxi, her eyes pleading, afraid that she would refuse.
Ye Wanxi glanced at Jiang Shaofeng, then at the curious crowd around her: "Going is fine, but we can't stay too long. I still have to film later."
"Okay, okay, we'll definitely keep it brief and won't take up your time."
Having said that, Ye Wanxi still turned around and looked at Director Dou inquiringly.
Director Dou was just as curious as the girls surrounding him, but he also knew that everyone had secrets they didn't want others to know.
"Go on, go on. Your scenes will have to wait a while, don't delay things."
Jiang Shaofeng and his friend took Ye Wanxi to Jiang Shaofeng's private lounge. Gao Min wanted to follow them in but was stopped.
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Sister Gao is my manager. If she's not allowed to go in, I won't go in either."
Gao Min directly blocked Ye Wanxi behind her, staring at the two of them warily: "You two grown men, I'm not comfortable leaving Wanxi alone with you."
When Gao Min said this, Jiang Shaofeng and the other man looked a little subtle.
"With her skills, it would be more dangerous for the two of us to be alone with her."
"..."
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
A few seconds later, Ye Wanxi's face darkened and she was about to leave when her manager, realizing he had made a big mistake, quickly apologized.
“Miss Ye, Master Ye, ancestor! You are so magnanimous, please don’t hold it against me, a mere mortal. Whatever you say goes, your agent can go in if he wants. But, could you promise us that you won’t spread this matter afterward?”
Gao Min rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at what you're saying. I still have that much professional ethics."
The four of them then entered the house, each with their own thoughts. As soon as they sat down, Ye Wanxi got straight to the point: "You want to find your younger brother. Or rather, you want to find your adoptive parents' biological son."
"Yes." As Jiang Shaofeng spoke, his ten fingers unconsciously twisted together, and his waist was taut like a bow, looking as if it might break at any moment from being stretched too tight.
"I want to know... is he still alive?"
Ye Wanxi gave him a deep look and said firmly, "Alive."
Just two short words became the last straw that broke someone's back.
"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive." Tears welled up in his eyes and landed hard on Jiang Shaofeng's hand. His tense back relaxed completely at that moment.
Seeing this scene, not to mention his agent who had been with him for several years, even Gao Min felt a little bit uncomfortable.
"He's still alive, he's still alive." Jiang Shaofeng cried for a while, then grabbed his manager's hand, seemingly wanting to laugh, but unable to hold back his tears.
The agent's eyes were also a little sore, but he still managed to pat his head and comfort him, "Yes, he's still alive, he's definitely still alive, you can rest assured. He's doing well, and he'll be back to reunite with you soon. It wasn't your fault, you don't need to blame yourself anymore. You didn't kill him, do you hear me? You didn't kill him, your brother is fine, he's alive!"
Gao Min looked at this scene, feeling inexplicably sad and curious.
At this point, he didn't dare to openly run over and ask the two of them, so he could only lower his voice and ask Ye Wanxi, "What's going on? What's wrong with him...?"
Ye Wanxi sighed, not knowing where to start, so she could only shake her head and remain silent.
Fortunately, after Jiang Shaofeng cried for a while, his emotions calmed down a little and he confessed everything himself.
Jiang Shaofeng's family is quite special. It is rumored that he comes from a wealthy family and is the second generation of an actor with extensive connections. It can be said that he is blessed with a smooth journey into the entertainment industry.
This is true on the surface, but in fact Jiang Shaofeng's parents died in an accident when he was two or three years old.
He was young, his parents died suddenly, and they left him very little.
None of the relatives were willing to take in this burden, so they kicked him around and almost sent him to an orphanage.
Finally, he was adopted by a distant relative of his parents, his current adoptive parents.
His adoptive mother had suffered a serious illness in her early years and was in very weak health. His adoptive father loved his wife very much and was worried that pregnancy would harm her health, so he never asked her for a child.
Having just learned about Jiang Shaofeng's situation, the couple decided to take the child home and raise him as their own son.
Jiang Shaofeng was still young at the time and didn't remember these things clearly, so the two of them deliberately kept it a secret.
They didn't want him to suffer any psychological trauma from his parents' death, and always claimed to the outside world that Jiang Shaofeng was their biological son.
Over time, Jiang Shaofeng really thought that he was their biological son until his younger brother appeared.
Jiang Shaofeng's younger brother became pregnant in the third year after he was adopted, and his arrival was unexpected by everyone.
Out of consideration for his wife's health and Jiang Shaofeng's situation, the couple did not plan to have this child at first, but Jiang Shaofeng was very happy when he learned about this.
He wanted this younger brother and promised that he would love and protect him well after his younger brother was born.
At this point in the story, it can be said to be a heartwarming family comedy.
But later the appearance of two people turned this comedy into a tragedy.
“When I was five years old, my younger brother was not even two. A couple suddenly came to me and told me that I was not my parents’ biological child, but my brother was. As long as he was there, everything in the house would belong to him. My parents, who originally loved and doted on me, would belong to him. I would forever live in his shadow, dependent on others, and could be kicked out at any time.”
"Holy crap, are these two idiots crazy?! Talking this to a five-year-old!" Gao Min jumped up.
Jiang Shaofeng's agent nodded in agreement. When he first learned about this, he had the same reaction, thinking that these two bastards were such inhuman beings!
