Chapter 236 My biological father and my biological younger brother
"I...I..." The boy's face turned bright red.
He was so confident and smug when dealing with Yu Chunyue and her father, but now he didn't dare to look Yu Zhiyi in the eye and looked completely helpless.
Yu Zhiyi sighed.
Actually, when she saw the unfamiliar middle-aged man's face, she already had a guess in her mind.
"Where is your father?" Yu Zhiyi asked. "Have him come to Yiluan Charity."
The boy trembled, glanced at Yu Zhiyi with suspicion, then, as if he had thought of something, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned and ran away, and his figure even seemed somewhat excited.
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Back at Yiluan Charity, Yu Zhiyi gave Manager Wu some instructions before going upstairs.
Before long, the boy and the middle-aged man arrived, and Manager Wu led them to the second floor.
There is also a separate living room on the second floor, which is slightly more secluded than the first floor. Ordinary guests are not usually taken to the second floor.
Yu Zhiyi sat in the main seat, looking indifferently at the father and son who entered one after the other: "Sit."
Both father and son were somewhat reserved.
The middle-aged man performed better than the round-faced boy. Although his gaze towards Yu Zhiyi was full of forbearance and heartache, he managed to remain calm.
The round-faced boy, on the other hand, looked restless, as if ants were biting his thigh on the sofa.
They didn't speak, so Yu Zhiyi didn't speak either.
An awkward silence immediately filled the lobby on the second floor.
It was the middle-aged man who broke the silence first: "Yi'er, I know this might be a bit sudden, but since things have come to this, I still want to tell the truth."
“I am your father, and this is your brother.”
Yu Zhiyi's expression didn't change much.
She guessed it.
If she were still yearning for family ties before her rebirth, she might have been thrilled to suddenly discover that she still had biological relatives alive.
But now, she no longer yearns for family affection.
Moreover, she was born with three misfortunes and five deficiencies, and her family ties were already weak.
She believed that the Yu family was like this in the past, and the family of the martial arts alliance leader was the same.
Rather than moving from one quagmire to another, it's better not to choose at all.
Seeing Yu Zhiyi's indifferent expression, a bitter look flashed across Jiang Yuchuan's eyes: "Yi'er, I know it's because of my dereliction of duty that you've suffered for so many years. It's all my fault. You can punish me however you want."
"But your mother is innocent, she really misses you."
Yu Zhiyi sat upright on the sofa, her expression still calm, and asked, "Back then, why did she, a pregnant woman, appear in the city alone, without even a protector by her side?"
It's highly unusual that the daughter-in-law of the leader of the martial arts alliance, who is about to give birth, has no one protecting her.
Yu Zhiyi didn't want to assume the worst about others, but in this situation, no one could think of it in a positive light.
It wasn't that she didn't want to calculate, but rather that she had already discovered that she couldn't clearly see the faces of these two people either.
She noticed the boy when she first met him, but at the time she thought he was also a chosen one, so she didn't think much of it.
There was nothing she didn't understand. She wasn't sure if this young man was the chosen one, but he was definitely related to her by blood.
Jiang Yuchuan sighed: "I told you, this is all my fault. Back then, your mother misunderstood some things and ran away from the Martial Alliance in a fit of anger."
“I didn’t know at first. By the time I found out, she had already been in an accident. Fortunately, I arrived in time and saved her life. But by then, you had already disappeared.”
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow: "For a woman to leave in a huff while heavily pregnant, it's either because she's discovered you're someone she has a blood feud with, or because she's discovered you're cheating on her. Which one are you?"
Jiang Yuchuan: "..."
Although he had long heard about his daughter's extraordinary abilities, he was still shocked to hear her figure out the truth without any evidence.
Jiang Liuyun was clearly facing the truth of what happened back then for the first time, and immediately glared at his father: "Father, what exactly happened? Are you really my mother's enemy?"
Jiang Yuchuan couldn't bear to blame his daughter, whom he had just found, so he immediately glared at his vengeful son: "Your maternal grandfather and grandmother are both alive, how could I possibly be your mother's enemy?"
The round-faced boy's expression grew increasingly terrified: "So, you really did mess around outside back then?!"
He stood up jokingly: "Well, Dad, you look so handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you always act like you're deeply devoted to Mom. I never imagined you were like this behind her back! No way, I'm going back to tell Mom!"
As he spoke, he actually started to leave.
"return!"
Jiang Yuchuan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a throbbing sensation in his head.
That unlucky kid!
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Zhiyi's calm and collected gaze, and his head started to ache even more.
After a long silence, he sighed and said, "I didn't mess around, but I did have some relationship troubles back then."
Although he didn't want his children to know about his past romantic entanglements, judging from his daughter's expression, she wouldn't be happy unless he explained things clearly.
There's also an unlucky son who's always ready to betray his father.
Left with no other choice, he could only recount the story in detail.
It turns out that the previous leader of the martial arts alliance, who was also Yu Zhiyi's grandfather, Old Master Jiang, had a very good friend. This friend was not only a young master from a long-standing family friendship with the Jiang family, but also grew up with Old Master Jiang and saved his life when Old Master Jiang was in middle age.
The kind of rescue where someone risks their own life for another.
That friend, who was middle-aged, had only one daughter. His only wish before he died was that Mr. Jiang could take good care of his daughter.
The rest of the story is pretty cliché.
That friend's daughter was raised in the martial arts alliance from a young age, growing up with Old Master Jiang's two sons, and she fell deeply in love with the second young master, Jiang Yuchuan.
Upon seeing this, Grandpa Jiang decided to arrange a marriage between the two children, hoping to strengthen their ties.
The old man meant well, and he even knew to ask his friend's daughter for her opinion beforehand.
But the problem was that he didn't ask his own nemesis son for his opinion.
Jiang Yuchuan already had someone he liked at that time, so when his father suggested that he marry his friend's daughter, he was naturally unwilling.
At that time, Grandpa Jiang had already made a promise to his friend's daughter. Not wanting to break his word, and even less wanting to disappoint his friend's daughter, he planned to sacrifice his son's happiness.
Jiang Yuchuan was very resolute, stating that he would never let his beloved down.
He also said that if Grandpa Jiang insisted on forcing him to betray his beloved and become a faithless scumbag, he might as well just kill him.
After much back and forth, Grandpa Jiang finally gave in for his son.
Jiang Yuchuan said in front of his friend's daughter that if she were his sister, he would take care of her in the future because of their childhood friendship.
But if her father insists on forcing them to get married, he will definitely be a scumbag after the marriage, making her a laughingstock who is nominally married but not actually married.
