Although Young Master Yan was angry with Yi Wei, upon hearing his mother's extremely insulting words, he couldn't help but call out, "Mom!"
Madam Yan glared at him, "What 'mother'? You're a married man yourself, don't you know how to be discreet? There's no smoke without fire. If outsiders misunderstand you, it means there's something wrong with you!"
When Madam Yan referred to "outsiders," she undoubtedly included Yi Wei.
While her pointed words were ostensibly addressed to her son, they were actually meant for Yi Wei.
Yi Wei's embarrassment hadn't faded yet, and now, with Old Madam Yan's blatant hint, her expression became even more unpleasant.
"Mom, when have I ever been indecent?" Yan Han felt wronged, but since it was his own mother who said it, he was too embarrassed to lash out.
Madam Yan gave him a disapproving look. "If you're so careful, how could such rumors have gotten out? Don't you know that flies don't land on eggs without cracks?"
Madam Yan's repeated words, besides scolding Yan Han, were like slapping Yi Wei across the face.
At this moment, Yi Wei sat there awkwardly and embarrassed. She wanted to explain, but found that she had already lost the initiative. No matter how she explained, it seemed that it was not right.
But not explaining herself and letting the old lady slap her in the face wouldn't be in line with Yi Wei's personality.
"Aunt Yan, I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with Brother Han. I was just being paranoid and made unwarranted assumptions. I've always treated Brother Han like my own brother, so I was just overly concerned about this!"
Madam Yan glanced at her and sneered inwardly, "My own daughter? I can't afford to give birth to someone like you!"
In her heart, she had despised Yi Wei to an unprecedented low, but aloud she continued to berate her own son.
"Women, in the Paleozoic era, childbirth was a life-or-death ordeal. Ying'er risked her life to give birth to Zizai for you, yet you let such rumors spread outside. Where does that leave Ying'er's face? And how is Zizai supposed to face the suspicion that he is an illegitimate child?"
Yi Wei, who was initially too embarrassed to lift her head, suddenly raised her head when she heard Zhu Qianying's name.
"Auntie, is Zizai Zhu Qianying and Han Ge's child?"
Yi Wei's voice trembled. Over the past two days, she had been speculating. At first, she thought the child was the offspring of Yan Han's one-night stand. Later, after someone reminded her, she felt that the child was probably just a surrogate.
But they never imagined that the boy was the child of Zhu Qianying and Yan Han!
Madam Yan couldn't help but chuckle. "Heh, Ying'er is Xiao Han's rightful and legal wife. Xiao Han's son shouldn't be Ying'er's child, so who else could he be?"
It was only then that Madam Yan realized that Yi Wei, besides being willful, had many other things about her that she disliked.
Yi Wei remained silent, probably because what Old Madam Yan had said had hit her too hard, or perhaps she was too embarrassed to say anything more.
Madam Yan glanced at Yi Wei and said, "Xiao Han, you should be glad that the son Ying'er gave birth to for you is almost a carbon copy of you. Otherwise, the whole of L City would know tomorrow that you, Yan Han, have been cuckolded!"
Yan Han initially felt that his mother's sarcastic remarks were too harsh and embarrassing for Yi Wei.
It wasn't until he heard Yi Wei ask, "Auntie, is Zizai Zhu Qianying and Brother Han's child?" that he vaguely sensed something was amiss.
Zhu Qianying left, and he never mentioned it to outsiders. For a couple who had been married for five years, wasn't it natural to have a child together?
Ke Yiwei, why did you keep questioning this matter just now?
What exactly did she find out?
Or rather, what exactly does she want to do?
"Yi Wei, Ying'er and I are husband and wife. Isn't it natural for us to have a child?"
Yi Wei flinched, then looked up at Yan Han with pitiful eyes, "Brother Han, I...I..."
Yan Han patiently stared at her. After stammering a few words, Yi Wei finally found a reasonable explanation, "I've never seen Zhu Qianying before, and besides, I... I've forgotten some things, so how would I know if she really exists?"
Yan Han's expression hardened, and he looked at her coldly.
"Yi Wei, do you think I would bother to conjure up a Zhu Qianying out of thin air just to deceive you?"
Yi Wei's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Before she could say anything, she heard Yan Han say, "Yi Wei, you overestimate yourself!"
After Yan Han finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. But as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he stopped, turned around, and said to Yi Wei.
"Don't come here again. My son doesn't like you!"
After saying that coldly, he turned around and strode upstairs.
Madam Yan had no interest in continuing the conversation with Yi Wei; after all, she had already vented her anger!
"Go away, my son doesn't like you!"
Clearly, what Old Madam Yan said was the same thing Yan Han said.
However, the objects referred to by this "son" vary, and the degree of harm they cause is naturally also different.
Yi Wei left the Yan family with a gloomy face, while Yan Han, after going upstairs, did not go to his parents' place to see his son. Instead, he went into his study and made a phone call.
When Yan Han finished the call, he thought he was going to his parents' room to find his parents and son, but he heard Zizai's giggling laughter coming from downstairs.
Yan Han leaned out and saw his son and father sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with a chessboard and a half-finished game between them.
"Dad, you're not allowed to bully Zizai."
In Yan Han's view, it was only natural that Zizai, being so young, was no match for his father, a seasoned chess player with superb skills.
"Hehehe, Xiaohan, you should talk to Zizai and tell him not to bully Grandpa so badly!"
Although Yan Bo spoke in a very pitiful tone, his voice was one of pride and satisfaction.
"Zizai, you're so amazing!" Yan Han praised his son, but as expected, his son ignored him.
He then asked, "Zizai, tell Daddy, which chess master did you learn chess from? How did you manage to defeat your grandfather?"
This time, Vic Chou actually gave him an answer.
"Mommy!"
Yan Han was slightly surprised. Was Zhu Qianying, that girl, also proficient in Go?
However, to be honest, he didn't seem to know what she was good at.
Besides knowing that her desserts tasted excellent, her soups were particularly authentic, and her noodles were exceptionally delicious, what else did he know about her?
Yan Han racked his brains for a while, and then he realized that apart from what she had done for him and what was shown in the information, he knew nothing else about her.
Originally, he thought that she had been gone for so long that he had begun to forget some things about her.
But now he realizes that he has never forgotten anything; rather, he has never truly understood her.
