Chapter 361: Cheng Jinyan’s cousin
At that time, the two elders of the Liu family had long passed away, and the head of the family was Liu Qiuyu's eldest brother. Although Liu Qiuyu loved his younger sister, he cared more about his two biological daughters and the reputation of the Liu family.
In order to protect his daughter's reputation from being implicated and the Liu family from being discredited, Brother Liu went against his conscience and began to turn a blind eye to Cheng Qi's infidelity.
This time, Liu Qiuyu and her son were completely isolated and helpless.
"My second uncle was only twenty years old at the time. Without the Liu family's help, he had no ability to resist the Cheng family. He couldn't even go to the hospital to see my mother. My grandfather knew that he was concerned about my mother, so he took the opportunity to propose a condition—"
"My grandfather told my second uncle that as long as he stopped causing trouble, he would let him go to the hospital to take care of Liu Qiuyu. Moreover, Liu Qiuyu would still be the only wife of the Cheng family. But if my second uncle continued to cause trouble, he would send Liu Qiuyu away and my second uncle would never see my mother again."
"My second uncle already knew that the Liu family had abandoned my mother. For Liu Qiuyu, he was forced to accept my grandfather's conditions."
"And then?" Ruan Qi's voice trembled a little. "Given your second uncle's character, he won't give up."
Cheng Jinyan nodded.
"Yes, Second Uncle was a man of unyielding character. He would never allow his mistress and illegitimate son to live under the same roof with his mother. So after Liu Qiuyu recovered from her illness, he found a house outside and took her in."
"But not long after, my grandfather found their address and half-forced them to be 'kidnapped' back. Later, my second uncle took Liu Qiuyu away a few more times, but the Cheng family was too powerful. As long as they were in the imperial capital, my grandfather could catch them."
"When my second uncle escaped for the last time, my grandfather was completely furious. He found out where my second uncle's girlfriend lived, sent someone to bring her to the Cheng family, and spread the word that if my second uncle didn't come back, he would send his girlfriend to sleep with his subordinates."
"My second uncle's girlfriend is an orphan, without a father or mother and no background. If my second uncle didn't save her, her fate would be very miserable. In the end, my second uncle and Liu Qiuyu returned to the Cheng family to save his girlfriend."
"From then on, my second uncle and Liu Qiuyu lived with my grandmother and her family. Not long after, my father got married and had me. Two years later, my second uncle married his girlfriend and had a son. Blood-wise, he's my cousin."
When Ruan Qi heard this, her pupils trembled slightly.
Cheng Jinyan felt a little thirsty after talking, so he pressed the service bell and asked for a glass of water.
He took two sips, put down his cup, and continued, "Although Liu Qiuyu and my grandmother both lived in the Cheng family, Liu Qiuyu had given up on my grandfather and moved to the backyard on his own initiative. My second uncle disdained to confront my father and his family, so he also brought my second aunt and Liu Qiuyu to live together. However, although my second uncle and his family didn't cause trouble, my grandmother's family wouldn't let them go. During those years, the Cheng family never had a moment of peace. Every time my grandmother and her family saw my second uncle and Liu Qiuyu, they would taunt them in a sarcastic manner."
Ruan Qi: "Since your relationship is so bad, why are you still thinking about your second uncle?"
"Because my second uncle and second aunt were the best people to me." Cheng Jinyan pulled the corner of his lip, turned to look at her, and said, "You should know my life experience. My father didn't love me, and my mother didn't care about me. My uncles and aunts also regarded me as an enemy who was trying to seize the inheritance. It can be said that I had a miserable childhood."
