Chapter 279 Who is it that celebrates his birthday with him every year?
Fang Ke had just received a reply to the email she sent to Fang Yiling before the banquet.
Fang Yiling attached all the information she needed and made a special note about the strange situation in the email body.
[You specifically noted that the investigation should start from 30 years ago, so I looked into the situations of the Yan and Ouyang families before their marriage alliance. The Ouyang family is a bit strange; Yan Nuo has a missing aunt, who is her mother Ouyang Yue's twin sister. She disappeared in the third year of Yan Nuo's marriage, exactly 30 years ago.]
[But surprisingly, neither family has reported it to the police over the years. Only Ouyang Jing's first boyfriend went to the police station to file a report, but unfortunately, he was just an ordinary college student, and the Ouyang family quickly withdrew the report, saying he was just traveling abroad.]
[The male college student who reported the incident later searched for Ouyang Jing for many years. Six years ago, someone saw him in his hometown, but he disappeared after that.]
[There's one thing the Yan family needs to be aware of. Thirty years ago, the Yan family's power in Jingzhou was at its zenith, perhaps even stronger than the Yi and Xiao families. But after Old Master Yan passed away, Yan Zhengfeng took over the family business, and the entire Yan family began its decline. Now, they only have that small territory left to rely on.]
[Attachment 10 is worth a look; it's quite interesting. All the Yan family's very profitable projects from their early years were in Yan Zhengfeng's hands, which he then sold to the Yi family at a low price. This is probably one of the reasons for the Yi family's rapid rise.]
The situation was urgent just now, and Fang Ke only wanted to give the Yan family a surprise, but she didn't expect that the expressions they made were so interesting.
There's no need for further interrogation; the missing Ouyang Jing is most likely in the Yan family's manor.
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Ouyang Yue's face turned as red as an eggplant, and she stiffly stretched out her neck to fight back.
Yan Zhengfeng panicked and shouted, "Guards! Guards! Throw these people of unknown origin out of here!"
There was no sound at the gate; Fang had sealed it off, so not a single sound could get out.
Yan Zhengfeng roared loudly for a long time until his voice became hoarse, and he coughed in disbelief.
Yan Nuo snapped out of his daze, his bloodshot eyes glaring at him fiercely as if he wanted to devour him. Then, he flipped over and slammed him to the ground, tightening his grip on Yan Nuo's neck with both hands. This time, he really wanted to kill him.
"Is what Fang Ke said true or not?"
"Cough cough...cough...This is hilarious...It's utterly unbelievable...How could it possibly be true?"
Yan Zhengfeng knew things were going badly, so he planned to stall for time by adopting the demeanor of a kind father.
“Noel… I know you’ve always resented your mother for being biased… but that’s because she had a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to you… that’s why she didn’t like you… Have you forgotten that when you were little, she would hold you while you slept, and that she would personally bake you a cake every year for your birthday…”
Yan Nuo's hand gradually loosened, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.
It is because he always remembers the gentle side of his mother that his heart is repeatedly hurt.
If the Yan family had consistently treated him badly, he would have severed ties with them all and removed his household registration long ago.
It's because of that little bit of warmth from his childhood that he can't help but miss it.
It was this same warmth that led him, at fourteen, to stay in the living room with the fat boy who came to his house intending to molest him, all to please his mother. Later, the boy became increasingly aggressive, touching him inappropriately, while his two older brothers sat opposite him, mocking and laughing, even taking pictures with their phones.
He was then dragged into the room, and they locked the door from the outside.
Yan Nuo stabbed Wang Yong to escape. He was covered in blood when he rushed to the living room and saw Ouyang Yue smiling happily. All the grievances welled up in his heart.
He shouted, "Mom, that fat guy..."
Then Ouyang Yue, her face changed, rushed up to him and slapped him twice. "What have you done?! You little beast, you've caused a huge disaster!"
For the first time, Yan Nuo began to doubt Ouyang Yue's feelings for her. She felt as if she had been thrown into an icy lake in the dead of winter, and her heart sank to the bottom.
He didn't run away that day; instead, he was severely beaten and taken back to the fat man's room. It seemed they still wanted him to continue.
But they didn't expect that Yan Nuo, who was so young, would be so ruthless. The fat man's injury wasn't fatal, but it was very frightening.
Wang Yong was a notorious spoiled brat who had been pampered since childhood. Upon seeing so much blood, he fainted from hemorrhage.
They dared not hesitate, but they also dared not send him to the hospital. They immediately asked a doctor to come to the Yan family for treatment.
Yan Nuo was locked in his room.
At that time, Yan Nuo thought that Yan Zhengfeng was the mastermind behind the whole thing, and that his mother probably just had no choice but to obey Yan Zhengfeng.
But he was heartbroken. He packed his things and ran away from home while crying. He was very conflicted before leaving, but he still took the wood carving that his mother had carved for him when he was 9 years old.
In his heart, he always hoped that his gentle and caring mother would come back.
He used to love his birthday because every year on that day, his mother would be different, exceptionally gentle. She would bake him a cake by hand and have a meal with him—things that Yan Shang and Yan Qiao never had; it was all just for him.
Later, the Yan family went to the youth training base that had taken him in and they also coaxed him in the same way, saying that he had made his mother angry last time, but his birthday was coming soon and his mother didn't want to argue with him anymore, she just wanted him to come home as soon as possible.
Yan Nuo was tempted by his birthday and going home. He was still very young and naturally still had fantasies about his parents and brothers.
As a result, he was locked up again when he got home. They didn't even allow him to go to school. It was not until six months later that he was released.
He still remembers Yan Qiao's venomous smile. Yan Qiao said, "You're lucky, kid. You scared Wang Yong so badly that he doesn't dare come to our house anymore. He said he would take you away to apologize, but he didn't dare to see you. I heard he found a young and beautiful boyfriend. You've probably been sold off for now."
Yan Nuo remained silent, and Yan Qiao assumed he was stupid. She patted his face with an insulting tone and said, "But don't worry, there will always be another buyer."
From then on, Yan Nuo played video games like crazy. As long as he didn't go out and run around, the Yan family didn't care what he was doing.
Play games, go ahead and play. The more you play, the more useless you become. It's perfect for someone like Yan Nuo who has no future.
Yan Nuo, however, had seen the outside world briefly and knew that she still had a glimmer of hope.
He was all alone at the time, so he had to save himself.
Then one day, their middle school teacher came to their door and asked Yan Nuo why he wasn't going to school.
That middle school teacher had considerable connections in Jingzhou's education sector, and his parents were both highly educated, so he could speak to Yan Zhengfeng.
Yan Zhengfeng brought the person to Yan Nuo and said that it was Yan Nuo's own fault for being addicted to playing games, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Teacher Yan Nuo only asked Yan Nuo, "Do you want to go back to school?"
Yan Nuo stared at her blankly for a moment, then nodded without any hesitation, "Yes."
Teacher Yan Nuo rolled up his sleeves and went to argue with Yan Zhengfeng and the others. Yan Nuo stood behind them, his eyes burning with emotion. He hadn't expected that there was still a so-called elder who was willing to care about him.
This person was just her homeroom teacher whom she had known for a year, but at this moment she was reminded of her mother when she was a child.
Later, he was allowed to study abroad, and then some things happened, so he was sent abroad.
As Yan Nuo recalled everything, her gaze cleared from confusion, and a thought she had never had before appeared in her mind.
What if, from the beginning, it wasn't Ouyang Yue who celebrated his birthday every year, but his nominal aunt "Ouyang Jing"?
If this aunt, Ouyang Yue's twin sister, is truly his biological mother, then many things he couldn't understand will have an answer.
His words were filled with anguish, “Yan Zhengfeng, you should really die.”
