Chapter 516 Song Lanyin's Background (1)
Upon hearing this, Yu Changze's smile froze.
Do you know why I came to find you first?
Yu Changze looked at her, and after a moment, he turned his head and looked at the night sky, "Because my surname is not Yu."
"You're half right." Song Lanyin sneered, "Because you're the only one who wants the truth to be revealed."
Yu Changze was taken aback.
"The little girl adopted by Gray in your movie 'Colored Cage' that was released overseas three years ago, isn't she based on me?"
Yu Changze lowered his eyes and remained silent, only slightly tightening his grip on his knees.
Having said that, there seems to be no point in hiding or hesitating anymore.
Song Lanyin asked him, "Yu Changze, how old were you when you came to the Yu family?"
Yu Changze frowned and answered truthfully, "Six years old."
"Six years old, that's quite old. The Yu family is really daring." Song Lanyin's voice was icy. "When I was abandoned at six, if I hadn't been sick with a fever, I should have been able to remember who I was and who my family was. You are hailed as a genius director. With your high IQ, aren't they afraid that you remember things from your time in the orphanage?"
“The Yu family adopted me and claimed to the outside world that I was their biological child.” Yu Changze’s voice was very soft. “They told me that I was abducted by human traffickers when I was three years old, and it took them three years to find me. A six-year-old child’s longing for home and parents surpasses everything. At that time, I was immersed in the joy of finally having a home and parents, and I didn’t think too much about it.”
Song Lanyin was silent for a moment, then asked, "When did you find out that you weren't a child of the Yu family?"
“When Yu Xin was ten years old, she bullied her classmates at school. The other party’s parents refused to let it go and came to our door to make trouble. Her father was not there, and her mother gave money to settle the matter. The old lady thought Yu Xin was spoiled and said, ‘How is she like our Yu family’s child? She’s not even as good as the third child!’ I was squatting on the second floor eavesdropping when I heard this. I don’t know why, but I just felt that it was wrong for the old lady to compare her to Yu Xin.”
“Since then, I have been paying attention. Finally, one day I overheard my parents talking in the study. They mentioned me, saying that I was too smart and that I might be a threat to my eldest brother, who was the heir. My father said that when I came of age, he would send me abroad to study art. If I didn’t go into business, I wouldn’t be a threat to my eldest brother.”
Song Lanyin gave a cold laugh, "You're quite perceptive."
"Perhaps my experience in the orphanage made me sensitive. I could always see the hidden indifference in the old lady's seemingly smiling eyes. I didn't understand when I was young, but later when I found out that I was not a child of the Yu family, I understood everything."
"So you chose to become a director because you were afraid they would see you as a threat?"
He shook his head. "Being a director is something I enjoy. Of course, no matter what profession I choose, it's true that I won't go into business."
Yu Changze recalled, "The old lady favored boys over girls. She especially doted on my eldest brother and was very strict and harsh on Yu Xin and Ya Shi. She was always relatively indifferent to me, but not long after Yu Xin bullied her classmates, the old lady's attitude towards Yu Xin changed significantly. It can be said that, apart from my eldest brother, the old lady loved Yu Xin the most."
Song Lanyin sneered, "Do you know why?"
"I don't know," Yu Changze said. "I only know that my mother has always favored Yu Xin. Perhaps she said something to the old lady in private?"
The Yu family has four siblings. The eldest brother was the most outstanding and steady from a young age, and the elders always taught the younger siblings to learn from him.
Yu Changze is the third child. Although he is not as outstanding and steady as his eldest brother, he has always been a good student. Only Yu Xin has always been spoiled and arrogant. From the time she started her rebellious phase until now, her personality has never changed.
But Yu Xin, who is the most troublesome, is also the one who has always been the most loved by Madam Yu.
Ten-year-old Yu Changze vaguely sensed something. From that day on, he began to observe Madam Yu's attitude towards Yu Xin, intentionally or unintentionally.
The more I observed, the more I realized that Madam Yu favored Yu Xin the most.
Yu Xin's achievements to date are not due to her exceptional talent, but rather because Madam Yu has been secretly paving the way for her and shaping her public image.
Not only that, Madam Yu would also deliberately praise Yu Xin in front of Yu's father. Yu Xin also knew how to perform well. Yu's father was busy with official duties and rarely at home. Every time he came home, among his children, the one who performed the best and was most loved by Yu's father was Yu Xin, who was spoiled and arrogant in private.
“After that bullying incident, the old lady mentioned to Yu Xin more than once that she would talk to my father about Yu Xin when he returned from his business trip abroad. My mother did not object. However, after a few days, the old lady stopped mentioning the matter and her attitude towards Yu Xin improved instantly. In fact, when my father returned, the old lady even started to speak up for Yu Xin.”
Yu Xin grew up in such a privileged environment, and she became increasingly assertive, mean, and arrogant.
The daughters of the Yu family are all destined for arranged marriages, but Yu Xin is an exception. She fell in love with a medical genius during her university years and was determined to marry him, even though his family was poor.
The marriage of Yu Xin, the daughter of a wealthy family, to a medical genius, with her exorbitant dowry, caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Yu Xin married for love and became the most envied heiress among all the women in Hong Kong. People in Hong Kong therefore believed that the Yu family loved and valued Yu Xin more than any other child in the Yu family.
"I know why the old lady's attitude towards Yu Xin suddenly changed."
Yu Changze looked at her, frowned, and asked, "You found out?"
“This matter is actually related to your adoption.” Song Lanyin opened her phone and opened the email that Alai had sent her. “This document contains all the information about Madam Yu. Once you read it, you will understand everything.”
Yu Changze took the phone.
