Chapter 142 Nameless
Ning Huiyue and Yu Anmin looked at each other. Fubao might not be able to accept this sudden recognition of kinship, so they should take it slowly. So they agreed and nodded.
But Ning Huiyue couldn't wait. She had already decided in her heart that Fubao was her daughter. How could she not acknowledge her? She stepped forward and said, "No, you can't leave. We must first confirm that Fubao is indeed my daughter!"
Xiao Dingkun turned around and said calmly, "Aunt Ning, how do you want to confirm this? Fubao has already said that she needs time. Aunt Yu, do you think it's appropriate to force her like this?"
Ning Huiyue: "But, but——"
She just wants to recognize her daughter right away!
Yu Jingfei took a step forward, stared at Xiao Dingkun and said, "Xiao Dingkun, this is between us and Fubao. It has nothing to do with you. We only want to talk to Fubao."
Xiao Dingkun glanced at Yu Jingfei with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
At this time, there was a bruise on Yu Jingfei's face, which was left from the fight with him.
Yu Jingfei felt Xiao Dingkun's gaze and his blood rushed to his head.
He frowned: "Xiao Dingkun, let me say it again, this matter has nothing to do with you, we want to talk to Fubao again."
Xiao Dingkun sneered, "Talk again? Don't you see Fubao doesn't want to talk to you? Do you think forcing Fubao to call you mom now will solve the problem? Will he be able to call her mom in his heart right after he calls her mom? Or do you think family love is like the rain in June, which falls at any moment?"
Gu Shengtian looked at Yu Jingfei: "Jingfei, I treat you as a friend, but friends are not like this. Do you know what the rumors are in school? Do you know what your brother Yu Jingyue said about Fubao in public at school? And your good niece, she also hurt my sister during the military training performance. These are all facts. If you don’t believe it, go check it out! No matter what misunderstanding there is, you don’t even investigate. You don’t know what kind of bullying my sister has suffered, and you want to open your mouth to recognize my sister? If you say you want to recognize my sister, why don’t you ask everyone in your family first! Your brother and sister, if my sister is really your daughter, wouldn’t they eat her alive? Do you think recognizing a daughter is a matter of words? Fubao has suffered a lot of grievances because of your family. Now you let her become a family without any grudges. Is this possible?"
Yu Anmin frowned at his words. He believed that he had always been upright and honest in his life and had never been treated like that. He felt helpless and said, "Little comrade, I will investigate what you said about bullying others by taking advantage of your power, as well as what my niece Yu Xiaoyue and my son Yu Jingyue did. I will give you and Fubao an explanation. If they really did it, then whatever happens, our Yu family will definitely not protect them."
——
The farce was finally over. Xiao Dingkun and others sent Fubao back to school, gave him some instructions, and then went back. Gu Shengtian had an important student meeting in the evening, so he looked at the time and hurried to catch the bus.
Xiao Chujing held Fubao's hand, feeling really distressed: "Come to my place for dinner on the weekend. I'll make you something delicious. You don't have to think too much about what happened today. Just eat and sleep."
Anyway, judging from the situation, the Yu family will never cause trouble for Fubao again. Not only that, they will probably have to be careful and try to please Fubao in the future.
Fubao nodded gratefully: "Yes, I know, thank you Sister Chu Jing."
Xiao Chujing looked at Fubao's obedient and gentle appearance, and she really liked him. She thought that she only had one son, and it would be great if she had a daughter like Fubao.
He raised his head and glanced at his expressionless brother Xiao Dingkun beside him, and sighed, thinking that it would be great if he could marry Fubao into the family.
Even if I don't have a daughter like this, it's not a loss to have a sister-in-law like this.
Xiao Chujing smiled and said, "By the way, Dingkun, I think the weather is not good today. You should accompany Fubao and take him to the dormitory."
This is the west gate of the school. It’s a long way from the west gate to the dormitory area.
Xiao Dingkun: "Okay."
Xiao Chujing raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but want to tease her brother. Normally, he never agreed to anything she asked him to do so readily. Now he couldn't wait to say "OK".
After Xiao Chujing left, Xiao Dingkun accompanied Fubao into the school.
Walking along the tree-lined path from the west gate, you'll find a small hillside and several forked roads. As night falls, a cold wind blew a fine rain across the sky. The small bridge, the old trees, and the rolling hills were all bathed in this cool, damp air, becoming hazy.
Xiao Dingkun and Fubao were walking on the small path in the campus, each holding an umbrella.
The wet ginkgo leaves cling to the stone road, giving you a slippery, rustling feeling when you step on them, as well as a crisp, hard feeling like stepping on stone.
There were not many people walking in the scenic area. Occasionally, there were students walking by with umbrellas, but they were also walking in a hurry with their heads down.
At this time, the students should be eating in the cafeteria.
Xiao Dingkun lowered his head and looked at Fubao: "Take a shower and have a good rest when you get back."
Fubao nodded and hummed softly.
Her mind was in a daze now. The shock she had received today was too great, and everything around her seemed a little uneasy.
Xiao Dingkun looked at her with concern: "Don't think too much, just let everything take its course."
Fubao raised his head.
"Brother Dingkun, they are my biological parents."
Although she didn't say it explicitly in front of Yu's family, Fubao knew in his heart that it was true and there was no falsehood.
Xiao Dingkun was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
Fu Bao lowered his eyes: "But I really can't feel any closeness."
Xiao Dingkun: "If you don't like it, don't admit it."
Fubao: "They may be my relatives, but I don't have any close feelings towards them. I always feel that they are very strange, from another world. I dare not recognize them, nor do I dare to admit that they are my biological parents."
Xiao Dingkun pondered for a while, thinking about how to comfort her, and finally said: "Family affection is also based on fate. If you don't like it, then don't acknowledge it."
Ning Huiyue's anxious look appeared in Fubao's eyes: "She really wants to recognize me."
Xiao Dingkun: "If you don't want to admit it, no one can force you to do it. The key is what you think in your heart."
Fubao: "I don't want to acknowledge her. After so many years, I have grown up. I am a member of the Gu family and my parents' daughter. I can't imagine recognizing other people as my parents. I would feel sorry for my parents. But when I saw her like that, I felt really bad."
These two thoughts, rational and emotional, kept the balance of her thoughts swirling.
Xiao Dingkun stared at Fubao like this: "Fubao, actually, when it comes to family affection, you should let it take its course. If you can't accept it now, then don't accept it. Maybe one day you will change your mind and want to accept it. We can talk about it then."
Fubao stood in the mist and rain, looking at the lake in the distance. The winter rain was falling, and the fog was spreading above the lake, blurring the tall tower standing not far away, and making a layer of smoky gray gauze float above the clear lake water.
Fubao murmured, "I didn't expect that I also have biological parents."
She didn't know this.
It seemed that her consciousness began in the mountains, in the desolate mountains. She lay alone in the mountains. Wild animals passed by her, sniffed her, and ran away. Birds chirped around her cradle.
The thin quilt could not keep her warm, and she hoped someone would pick her up. Finally, the abbot came and picked her up with care.
As for what she was like in the past, she couldn't remember clearly, she only vaguely remembered the misty lake water.
She once thought that she had no parents and no relatives, but she didn't expect that she was also born and raised by parents, just like everyone else.
A light breeze blew by, bringing up a puff of water vapor and a chill. Fubao tightened his grip on the umbrella handle.
Xiao Dingkun raised his hand, took her umbrella, folded it, then held her arm and let her share an umbrella with him.
The umbrella he held was black and large enough to shelter two people.
Because they were under an umbrella, the distance between the two people suddenly became closer. Fubao could feel the hot air from his nostrils above her head. When she slightly raised her face, his breath was on her forehead. She could smell a unique masculine scent on him, which was clear, strong and mellow, and the heat emanating from the rise and fall of his chest enveloped her, as if it could help her resist the coldness of this winter.
Xiao Dingkun held up the umbrella with one hand. This action made Fubao, who was under the umbrella, seem to be held in his arms. He lowered his eyes to look at the slender and beautiful Fubao in his arms and whispered, "Are you cold?"
His voice was low and mellow, resonating with the roar of his chest, echoing in her ears, making her ears hot and her heart tremble.
Fubao nodded and hummed softly.
Xiao Dingkun: "Then let's go back to the dormitory first."
When Fubao heard this, he felt a little reluctant.
There was cold rain and a gentle breeze, the lake was hazy, the tower on the opposite bank was blurred, and the old trees and small bridges around were all filled with poetic and picturesque atmosphere. She was actually a little obsessed with the feeling of this moment.
She sighed softly: "I don't want to go back, I want to stand outside for a while."
Xiao Dingkun laughed dumbly: "Okay, then stand there for a while."
Fubao raised his head and said, "Brother Dingkun, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Dingkun saw a blush on her porcelain-white cheeks, the blush was like rubbed rouge, like the peach blossoms on the branches in March. He looked at her silently for a long time, then took off his scarf and put it on Fubao.
Fubao was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, nor did he refuse.
Xiao Dingkun raised his left hand again and held hers.
His neck was embraced by warmth, and his cold hands fell into the warm and powerful hands, and Fubao's heart moved slightly.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to take it back. In this day and age, shaking hands was considered a very intimate thing.
However, Xiao Dingkun held her hand firmly and put it in his pocket.
He was wearing a dark grey cashmere coat, and the pockets were warm and soft.
His low, hoarse voice came to my ears: "I'm afraid you'll be frozen to death."
As the night deepened, Fubao looked up at him, only to see his hard silhouette in the dim night. His features were cold and resolute, but his hands were moving gently.
And the scarf around her neck carried his body temperature and scent.
Fubao lowered his head and suddenly remembered that distant memory from a long time ago, when he was lying alone in the deserted mountains, hoping to be picked up by someone.
She wasn't cold anymore, she knew she was being carefully cared for.
As she was thinking this, her fingers, which were held by Xiao Dingkun and kept warm in his pocket, moved slightly.
Xiao Dingkun sensed it and raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"
Fubao looked at the lake in the hazy night and smiled: "Nothing, I suddenly felt——"
Xiao Dingkun: "What do you think?"
Fu Bao chuckled and said, "I was a little confused just now, thinking that if they were really my biological parents, why couldn't I recognize them immediately? After all, seeing her like that, I felt bad too."
Xiao Dingkun: "Well, have you figured it out now?"
Fu Bao nodded: "I suddenly figured it out. Even if we admit it now, we'll still be uncomfortable with each other after what happened before. It's better to wait a while before talking about it. Family affection is something that happens naturally, not 1+1=2. Let's just leave everything to time!"
Xiao Dingkun stared at her for a long while: "That's right."
——
Xiao Dingkun stood with Fubao by the lake for a long time before sending her back to the dormitory.
Fubao wanted to return the scarf to him, but he refused.
Fubao lowered her head and walked into the dormitory wearing a scarf. After she returned, she naturally attracted the surprised gazes of several roommates, who surrounded her with curiosity.
"Hey, it's gray. It looks like your brother Dingkun's scarf, right?"
"Has it come to the point of giving away scarves?"
Fubao smiled and said, "No, it's too cold today. He gave me the scarf when he sent me back."
However, this explanation drew winks and jeers from several roommates: "Hey, that's called 'he', who is he? Tell us!"
Amidst everyone's cheering, Mo Jiasi crawled into bed and envied: "Fubao's brother is also very good to Fubao, and this brother Dingkun is even better. I'm so envious."
Ding Weihong couldn't help laughing. "Actually, the most enviable thing is that the Yu family is chasing Fubao to help him clarify things. It's like a magic trick."
When she brought this up, everyone naturally started to speculate about what was going on with the Yu family, and soon the topic came back to "the Yu family has their eyes on Fubao and wants her to be their daughter-in-law."
Even Feng Meini asked Fubao curiously: "If you can choose between your brother Dingkun and Yu Jingfei, who will you choose?"
Fubao was helpless after hearing this: "What's the connection? Stop teasing me. Brother Dingkun is just--"
Having said this, she suddenly stopped and couldn't continue.
Of course, the thing about Yu Jingfei is purely a misunderstanding. In all likelihood, he is her biological brother. This is just a misunderstanding.
But what about Xiao Dingkun?
In her heart, she knew what position Xiao Dingkun held.
And today, he stood with me by the lake, put his scarf on me, and held my hand in his pocket to keep it warm. What does this mean to him?
——
After Ning Huiyue returned home, she sat on the sofa in a daze.
She murmured, "Why doesn't she admit it? Is she still angry with us? We look so much alike, is she suspecting we're lying to her?"
Yu Anmin was more rational than Ning Huiyue after all. He patted the back of Ning Huiyue's hand comfortingly and said, "Don't think about it for now. Fubao isn't very enthusiastic about recognizing her relatives. After all, so much has just happened. It's unrealistic to expect her to recognize us right away. Now we can only wait for the results of Jingfei's investigation. Then we can go and have a good talk with her."
Ning Huiyue burst into tears after hearing Yu Anmin's words. "Of course she's not actively trying to acknowledge us. She hates us so much, how could she possibly acknowledge us? It's all my fault. Why did I bother to go to the Zhao family and even to the school? I, I really want to slap myself!"
After she said this, Yu Anmin and Yu Jingfei were helpless and hurried to comfort Ning Huiyue.
But Ning Huiyue's remorse and pain had made her think about something else. She tightly grasped Yu Anmin's hand and said, "Old Yu, no, you have to find out. You have to find out what Xiaoyue did to make Fubao dislike her so much. Check to see if what they said is true. Also, call Jingyue back and ask him if he really went to school. Did he really deliberately try to ruin Fubao's reputation?"
Yu Anmin nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will check, I must check!"
Yu Jingfei lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He suddenly wanted to punch himself.
He had sensed Xiaoyue's hostility towards Fubao before, but since they were classmates, he didn't think much of it. He just thought that young girls were just dissatisfied in their hearts, but would not do anything.
But from Gu Shengtian's words today, he had a vague feeling that what Xiaoyue did to Fubao was more excessive than he could have imagined.
——
That day, Yu Xiaoyue watched everything Ning Huiyue did.
When Ning Huiyue followed Fubao around, busying herself around with a fawning smile on her face, making herself look like a pitiful creature, Yu Xiaoyue was watching beside her.
Seeing that scene, Yu Xiaoyue's heart sank.
In fact, she has always known that there is a secret in the family, a secret that no one is willing to tell her.
She is not the biological daughter of the Yu family.
At that time, the Yu family lost their daughter. Not only was Ning Huiyue deeply shocked, but the old man of the Yu family also became depressed for a while and clamored for a granddaughter.
It happened that at this time Yu Anmin's cousin, Yu Anguo, who was also Yu Xiaoyue's adoptive father, picked up the orphan Yu Xiaoyue and adopted her.
One family gained a daughter, and the other family lost a daughter.
When Yu Xiaoyue was a child, her parents would take her to Grandpa Yu's house. When Grandpa Yu looked at her, he would always sigh and occasionally mutter something. Ning Huiyue would hide in the house.
At that time, Yu Xiaoyue didn't understand why everyone treated her like this. Wasn't she cute? Shouldn't everyone like her?
However, these things were gradually forgotten. For Yu Xiaoyue at that time, the most important people in her life were of course her parents, Yu Anguo and his wife.
To be honest, Yu Anhuo and his wife still loved Yu Xiaoyue very much, but Yu Xiaoyue always felt like something was missing.
As for what was missing, she didn't know.
She just felt that what she got was not enough and she was lacking a lot.
She had no choice but to work hard to become the best, to become the daughter that others envied and her parents were proud of. She wanted to be the best in everything and make everyone feel inferior to her, so that her parents would think she was the best daughter in the world.
A few years ago, her parents went abroad and asked her if she wanted to go. She said no, so she stayed in the country and lived in Mr. Yu's house.
She is very outstanding, and Mr. Yu gradually began to like her, and she was even more willing to show her excellence in front of adults.
She wanted everyone to like her, so she tried to please Ning Huiyue, Yu Anmin, Yu Jingfei, Yu Jingyue, and even Old Man Yu.
She lived happily in the Yu family, who were richer than her adoptive parents and could provide her with a better life.
She felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
It was not until that day when she overheard the conversation between Ning Huiyue and Yu Anmin that she learned that their little daughter named Nuonuo was missing.
She felt that she would never forget the tone of Ning Huiyue's voice when she mentioned Nuonuo, the desperation of wanting to exchange her own life for the chance to see Nuonuo, and the pain of being unable to find Nuonuo and being unable to be reborn forever.
She never knew that Ning Huiyue, who usually seemed elegant and quiet, had such a hysterical side.
She suddenly thought of her adoptive parents.
At this moment, she finally understood what was the difference between her and other children.
Yu Anguo and his wife never had and would never take her to heart like this.
That's the difference.
She even realized that all the love she thought she had received from the Yu family was fake. Compared to that girl named Nuonuo, she was nothing. Ning Huiyue had usually seemed very kind to her, but now it seemed that there was a layer of distance between them.
Is it because he's not the kid named Nuonuo that you don't like him?
This incident pierced Yu Xiaoyue's heart like a thorn.
She took a deep breath and worked harder than other children. She played the piano, learned guitar, and learned various languages. She studied hard, achieved excellent results, and never missed any opportunity to show off.
All of this turned into a pile of awards at home and became a topic of conversation for Grandpa Yu.
The Yu family was proud of her, and she felt that she could breathe a sigh of relief, believing that she could gain a firm foothold in the Yu family.
Sometimes she would wonder what happened to Nuonuo. Maybe she was dead after so many years?
Even if she hadn't died and was still alive, how could she have had a good life when everyone had lived such a hard life these years? She might have never even been to school and had already married and had children in the countryside.
Comparing herself to others like this, she felt that she was good enough, a real daughter of the Yu family, and the most outstanding one.
But she didn't expect that when she was admitted to the Imperial University of Peking, when she received all kinds of envious and jealous looks, and when she thought she had reached the peak of her life, she met Fubao.
Fubao is just a little girl from the countryside. She has a pretty face and an eye-catching figure, and is good in every aspect. However, her clothes are rustic, her taste is poor, and she looks like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.
She didn't understand why Xiao Dingkun only looked at Fubao and not her, and she was not convinced.
Despite this, she didn't take Fubao seriously at first. After all, her talent and achievements were accumulated slowly with the resources of the Ye family and her own years of hard work. Excellence is excellence, and this is not something that any country bumpkin can compare to.
But Fubao gave her the first blow in her life.
The instructor, who was used to doing things directly and decisively, actually asked Fubao to replace him as the platoon leader during military training in public.
This was a hard slap on her face. The sun that day shone on her face and it hurt so much. She felt extremely ashamed.
After returning home, I cried secretly in the quilt for a while, and vowed that I must be better and not be outdone by others.
Actually, this is nothing. It’s just that an excellent Gu Danyang appeared. She is more capable than me, and I can still fight harder.
But what she didn't expect was that her brother Yu Jingfei actually showed a strong interest in Gu Danyang.
She sensitively realized that this interest was not a love between men and women, but that her brother seemed to have sensed something.
She suddenly became nervous, uneasy, and afraid. She carefully tested the waters, trying to discredit the relationship between Fubao and Yu Jingfei, causing Fubao and the Yu family to misunderstand and stop her brother from bringing up the matter.
Of course, she also had a little hope in her heart, thinking that it might not be the case, maybe she was mistaken. After all, they had been together for so many years, how could she recognize him just by seeing him?
Besides, Fubao doesn’t look like his uncle and aunt.
Until that day when Yu Jingfei scolded her because of Gu Danyang and was so mean to her for the first time in her life, the glimmer of hope in her heart was completely shattered.
Regardless of whether Fubao is her uncle and aunt’s biological daughter, she doesn’t like Fubao and she hates Fubao.
So she started her own approach.
Xiao Dingkun and Yu Jingfei had a fight over Fubao, which was certainly an opportunity for her. She first instigated Yu Jingyue, who was completely unaware of the past, to "vent his anger for his brother", and then she directly told Ning Huiyue about the matter with exaggeration, asking Ning Huiyue to give Fubao a warning first.
In this way, even if Yu Jingfei wants to recognize his relatives in the future, he will inevitably encounter obstacles.
But she didn't expect that everything she had planned would go completely awry the moment Ning Huiyue saw Fubao.
When Ning Huiyue saw Fubao, she seemed like a different person. She stared at Fubao with an eager, kind and excited look in her eyes. The words she spoke were completely devoid of her usual arrogance. She followed Fubao humbly and pitifully, trying to please him with one word after another.
She couldn't believe that this was Ning Huiyue.
She knew that Ning Huiyue suspected that Fubao was her lost daughter, but she could not understand why Ning Huiyue could guess that Fubao might be her daughter at the first sight.
It was as if she couldn't understand why Yu Jingfei suspected that Fubao was his sister.
She wanted to regain control and tell Ning Huiyue that Fu Bao was not a good person, but Ning Huiyue didn't listen at all.
Ning Huiyue seemed to be possessed by a poison, thinking about Fubao all the time, and the Yu family came out in full force today.
She could probably guess what they were going to do.
Yu Xiaoyue walked around the campus with an expressionless face, her heart feeling cold.
Maybe Fubao is really the daughter of the Yu family. Maybe it won’t be long before they will recognize each other as mother and daughter, and from now on, his home will be Fubao’s home.
What about her? What should she do? What was all her hard work all these years for? Will she still become that child left behind in the country, placed in foster care?
As I was walking, a person appeared in front of me: "Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue, you have to help me."
Yu Xiaoyue frowned and looked at the man blankly. It took her a long time to recognize that it was Tan Xiangqian.
She was a little impatient: "What can I help you with?"
Tan Xiangqian: "Now that educated youth are returning to the city in large numbers, my brother went to the countryside and has returned, but he doesn't have much work to do since he came back. Can you help me find a job for him?"
Yu Xiaoyue sneered: "Arrange a job? Who do you think I am? I can easily arrange a job for your brother? Xiang Qian, what are you thinking?"
In particular, Tan Xiangqian is a good person and very outstanding. He has always been a good friend of hers and will help her with anything.
But Tan Xiangqian's request at this time was too much. Would he be in the mood to help her at this time? Would the Yu family agree to this if he asked the Yu family for this at this time?
You are in a difficult situation and you can't even save yourself!
Tan Xiangqian was disappointed when he heard this. "I don't ask for anything better, just a job in any factory will do. Xiaoyue, this concerns my brother's future. He's a grown man, and now he's back with nothing to do, he can't just sit around at home, right?"
Yu Xiaoyue found it funny: "What does this have to do with me? Did I let him idle?"
If it were any other time, if she acted coquettishly with Old Man Yu, he might help her, but now is definitely not the time, it is impossible.
When Tan Xiangqian heard her say this, her face turned blue and red. She looked at Yu Xiaoyue disappointedly: "Xiaoyue, you really can't help, right?"
Yu Xiaoyue said unhappily, "This is none of my business. Can you please stop bothering me about this?"
After saying that, she walked away in her high heels.
Tan Xiangqian looked at Yu Xiaoyue's receding back, bit his lips, and his eyes turned red.
As friends for many years, she didn't expect Yu Xiaoyue to say that. If she didn't want to help, then she didn't, but why did she say that?
Yu Xiaoyue ignored Tan Xiangqian and returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ning Huiyue crying.
She folded the umbrella and a nanny quickly took it over.
Yu Xiaoyue looked at the crying Ning Huiyue, Yu Anmin who was comforting her, and her cousin who was looking at her with a dark face. After a while, she said, "Uncle, aunt, what happened?"
Ning Huiyue stood up when she heard Yu Xiaoyue's voice, ran to Yu Xiaoyue, and stared at her with red eyes: "Xiaoyue, tell me, have you ever dealt with Fubao? Why did you say that about Fubao before? Fubao is obviously not that kind of child! She is a good child, why did you say that about her?"
Yu Xiaoyue sneered in her heart, but pretended to be confused on the surface: "Aunt, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Ning Huiyue usually dotes on her cousin.
Whether it was out of face or because this cousin was about the same age as her own daughter, and there was a certain degree of empathy, she paid more attention to Xiaoyue.
She looked at her niece and thought of the harsh words she had said to Fubao. She suddenly began to doubt herself. Was she wrong?
She actually said such harsh words to a beautiful girl like Fubao.
Does this look like a well-educated and kind girl?
Ning Huiyue's heart was filled with bitter suspicion, but she still held her patience and waved, motioning Yu Xiaoyue to sit next to her.
Yu Xiaoyue sat down.
Ning Huiyue held Yu Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Xiaoyue, I have something to ask you. You must tell me the truth."
Yu Xiaoyue said obediently: "Auntie, what do you want to ask?"
Ning Huiyue: "Auntie wants to ask you, where did you hear those words about Fubao from?"
Yu Xiaoyue paused inwardly, then smiled: "Aunt, why are you asking this? Of course I heard it from my classmates."
Yu Anmin, who was standing next to him, frowned. "Did you hear it from a classmate? Which classmate? How could there be such a rumor?"
Yu Xiaoyue said helplessly, "Aunt, how would I know that? I heard that my brother was interested in that Fubao, so of course I asked around. But when I did, I found out that she has a very bad reputation. Everyone knows that she has a bad reputation, has promiscuous relationships with both men and women, and has a problematic lifestyle."
Ning Huiyue was anxious: "Ask, where did you find out? Which classmate told you this? Tell me, I'll go and ask him in person!"
Now Ning Huiyue gets angry when she thinks about Fubao being entangled in all kinds of rumors, and her heart aches with anger.
How could her daughter suffer such injustice?
Yu Xiaoyue was vague: "I don't know about that, but it has something to do with my brother."
Yu Jingfei sneered: "I haven't even spoken to Fubao alone, and there are rumors about her and me. Isn't this a deliberate rumor? You are my sister. Why do you still believe it when you know it's a rumor? You even encouraged our mother to go to school?"
Yu Xiaoyue was speechless after hearing what Yu Jingfei said. She was stunned for a long time before she slowly said, "This kind of rumor is everywhere in the school. I heard it from others and I don't know the details. Aunt, do you mean that these are all wrong? I..."
She lowered her head, biting her lip and said, "I really don't know whether this is true or not. I just saw that my brother seemed to like that Gu Danyang, and I was afraid that my brother was deceived by her... Besides, didn't my brother get beaten?"
At this point, her eyes were filled with grievance: "I saw my brother being beaten, and I was angry too..."
When she said this, Yu Jingfei frowned and said nothing.
He had already warned his sister not to mess with Fubao, but she simply refused. Now he had no way of judging whether what she said was true or not, and he didn't quite believe it in his heart.
But she was his cousin after all, and he couldn't bear to see her looking so aggrieved.
Ning Huiyue looked at Yu Xiaoyue's sad face and asked, "You are also ignorant. You don't know that Fubao is a good girl. It's understandable that you are worried about your brother. But what happened at the military training performance?"
Yu Xiaoyue had already thought about how to deal with the slander against Fubao. What she said was what she heard from others. She did not make up any lies. She was just worried that her brother would get hurt, so it had nothing to do with her.
But she never expected that Yu Anmin would actually ask about the military training performance. She was caught off guard and her heart sank.
Did Tan Xiangqian leak the information? Did he file a complaint? Or did someone else tell him?
She looked at Yu Anmin, only to see that he was staring at her seriously, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. Yu Xiaoyue felt uneasy.
Yu Anmin had served in the army for many years and had a dignified military aura. Yu Xiaoyue lowered her head in silence, hardly daring to look into Yu Anmin's eyes.
Yu Anmin looked at his niece's evasive gaze and had already made up his mind. He immediately said in a stern voice, "Tell me, what's going on!"
Yu Xiaoyue shuddered with fear, and then tears streamed down her face. She sat on the sofa and said, "I, I don't know, uncle, this is none of my business. Someone wronged me, saying that I instructed Tan Xiangqian to do it, but it really wasn't me. How could I do such a thing... Aunt, I wouldn't do such a thing. Please believe me, please believe me."
Yu Xiaoyue cried inconsolably, her sobs filled with grievance.
Yu Anmin and Ning Huiyue looked at each other.
This is not their daughter, but a niece who is fostered here. It is not easy for them to discipline this niece on behalf of her parents.
Now that their niece is crying like this, they can't force her anymore.
Seeing her crying like this, Ning Huiyue naturally felt a little distressed, but thinking about Fubao, she said, "Xiaoyue, Auntie believes you, but since you said those words, you should at least explain it clearly to Fubao, right?"
Yu Xiaoyue looked down at Ning Huiyue holding her hand and asked tentatively, "Aunt, if I really believed the hearsay and wronged Fubao, then I should explain to Fubao. But, Aunt, why did you bring this up suddenly?"
Ning Huiyue and Yu Anmin looked at each other, and finally Ning Huiyue spoke and told Yu Xiaoyue how she lost Nuonuo that year.
"So Fubao is actually Nuonuo, my aunt's biological daughter. I believe in Fubao, she is definitely not that kind of person. Your brother's original intention was to understand Fubao and test whether she is our daughter. Those rumors outside are all misunderstandings."
After listening to Ning Huiyue's story, Yu Xiaoyue was stunned for a long time.
She had actually known these things for a long time and had heard them secretly, but it was still different when she heard them with her own ears.
Before, she could still pretend that she was a favored child of heaven and the most favored child in the family, but now everything is laid out in the open. She knows that she is not, and being fostered here, she needs to give up her position at any time.
Now Fubao hasn't recognized me yet, and Ning Huiyue and the others are treating me like this. What will happen after Fubao comes back? Will I be sent away directly?
Yu Xiaoyue clenched her fists, barely suppressing all the emotions in her heart, and looked at her aunt with a smile: "So, aunt had a daughter before, and it turned out to be Fubao? That, that's great, I have a new cousin!"
Ning Huiyue thought of Fubao: "Hey, she said today that she is the biological child of the Gu family. Maybe she doesn't like us and doesn't want to recognize us."
After hearing this, Yu Xiaoyue hurriedly comforted Ning Huiyue, and said that she would apologize to Fubao and try to get Fubao's forgiveness, see what Fubao thought, and persuade Fubao to recognize his relatives.
Ning Huiyue just looked at her without saying anything.
After An Min and Ning Huiyue returned to the house, Ning Huiyue sighed tiredly: "Old Yu, what do you think? Is what Xiaoyue said true?"
Yu Anmin rubbed his brows and said, "This child is not our own daughter, so it's hard for us to say some things. Should we mention this to my cousins and see what they say?"
Ning Huiyue nodded: "Yes. I was angry at her for doing this. If it weren't for this setback, Fubao wouldn't have disowned us."
As she spoke, she looked at Yu Anmin: "Actually, I was thinking that Fubao is our daughter, and we have to recognize her. But after recognizing her, will she feel uncomfortable when she returns to our home and sees Xiaoyue? These two girls didn't seem to get along well before. Do you think she will be willing to recognize us now that Xiaoyue is here?"
Yu Anmin sighed, "I've been thinking about this too, but Xiaoyue has been living with us for the past few years, so it's not easy for us to ask her to leave. We should first discuss it with my cousin and see what they think."
This sentence resonated with Ning Huiyue's mind. She pondered it for a while and suddenly said, "We can't say anything about what Xiaoyue did. She is not our daughter. But what Jingyue did—"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Beat him to death!"
