Chapter 153: Let Me Explain
Uncle Li also dropped the glass in his hand in surprise, turned around and looked at his wife in surprise, both of them with disbelief in their eyes.
"Yuxi, you just said..."
Du Yuxi looked embarrassed. "It's like this. You should have heard about my sister An An's situation. On our birthdays, many relatives and guests rushed to her for fortune-telling. And many of the things she predicted have come true. She is still credible."
The couple nodded, but still looked puzzled: "That's true, but what does this have to do with what you just said?"
"In fact, the last time An An saw her cousin, she discovered that he was unmarried but had a son."
Aunt Li's face changed drastically: "What? You mean..."
"It's just as you thought. My cousin has a child who is living away from home."
Aunt Li gasped, "How...how is this possible? Your cousin...he has never had a girlfriend in all these years. Apart from...except your cousin and Li Qianxi, he rarely has a woman who is close to him."
Aunt Li suddenly had an idea when she said this: "Could the child you are talking about be Li Qianxi..."
Du Yuxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she was obviously shocked by Aunt Li's brilliant idea: "No, that child should be in kindergarten now."
"What?" The couple almost jumped up from the sofa, "It's...it's this big?"
"Yes, An An just called me to tell me that she seemed to have found her cousin's homeless child. She is in... in the kindergarten where my fifth aunt's child goes."
The two of them could no longer remain calm. Aunt Li stood up and paced back and forth, while Uncle Li could not help but pick up his wife's cup and drink a sip of tea to calm himself.
"No, we have to find out what's going on as soon as possible. The child is already this big, and we don't even know anything about it. I'm going to call Zhaoyang now and ask him to come back immediately."
Aunt Li also calmed down a little and sat back next to her husband: "Hurry up and call Zhaoyang to ask him to come back. His child is so big now, but he didn't even mention it to us. This kid is really itching for trouble!"
Du Yuxi sat opposite the two of them, watching her uncle call her eldest cousin who was still working like a slave in the company and order him to go home immediately. She took a bite of the cantaloupe in her hand quite calmly, secretly lighting a row of candles for her eldest cousin in her heart, praying that he would not be beaten too badly when he came back.
Li Zhaoyang had just invited Xi Jingyue to the company and before he could even say an opening remark, he was called back by his old man.
When Xi Jingyue heard Uncle Li's anxious tone, he thought something big had happened, so he followed Li Zhaoyang back home.
I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, I would be met with the gloomy and serious faces of two elders.
"Zhaoyang, tell me the truth, did you mess around outside and cause someone's death?"
Li Zhaoyang was given a life-threatening question as soon as he met her. He was completely stunned: "What...what mess, what human life? I didn't have any..."
"You didn't? If you didn't, why would Yuxi's sister say she met your child who was stranded outside? Even at this time, you still want to lie to us! Today... today I will beat you to death, you unfilial son who has betrayed your family and then abandoned them."
Uncle Li became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He took out a rolling pin from somewhere and wanted to give his son a punishment on the spot.
Now, not to mention Li Zhaoyang, the person involved, Du Yuxi and Xi Jingyue were both shocked.
Xi Jingyue, mindful of their little brotherly love, stood in front of Li Zhaoyang and advised, "Uncle, calm down. Let's talk it over nicely."
"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, if you have something to say, just talk to me nicely, don't use violence. I really don't know anything about having an affair and then abandoning you, or bringing disgrace to the family!"
"You dare to quibble, kid? How dare An An have nothing better to do than to accuse you?" Uncle Li waved the rolling pin, looking as if he would not stop until he beat his son.
"An'an?" When Xi Jingyue heard the key words, his action of blocking him suddenly stopped.
Li Zhaoyang rushed out of the avoidance circle because he was too aggressive and came face to face with his father. He was hit by a stick while he was distracted.
"Oh, Dad, I really didn't do this! Don't hit me, don't hit me first, let me quibble again, no, let me explain it again!"
"Well...it may not be an injustice."
"No, brother, you..." Li Zhaoyang widened his eyes in surprise. He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by Xi Jingyue.
Xi Jingyue glanced at him with disdain. He didn't expect that such a long time had passed and this guy still hadn't found his first love and their lost child. He really overestimated him!
"Look at this, look at this. Your brother won't help you. What else do you have to say?"
"I...but I, I really didn't do that..." Li Zhaoyang was speechless and felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.
"Didn't you forget that I asked you before, have you ever been in love?"
"You...you mean..." Li Zhaoyang finally figured out what was going on and suddenly turned to look at Du Yuxi.
"Cousin, you..."
"Are you talking about the child of Jingzhu and I? Where is he now? Where is Jingzhu? Is she also..."
Du Yuxi was stunned by his question. After a while, she asked blankly, "Jingzhu?"
Aunt Li looked at her son and then at her nephew. She instinctively knew that Xi Jingyue also knew about this, and her face became more serious: "Can anyone tell me what is going on? Who is Jingzhu you are talking about? How did you have a child with her?"
"Jingzhu...she is my first love."
"First love?!" the couple exclaimed, "When did it happen?"
“Back in college.”
"You were in a relationship in college, how come your dad and I didn't know about it?"
"…We broke up before I even had the chance to tell you."
Mr. and Mrs. Li: “…” Who gave you the courage to say such words so confidently?
"You said you didn't mess around outside, and you didn't abandon your lover. But you broke up after just a short time, and you even got the girl pregnant. I...I..." Uncle Li stood up and started looking for a rolling pin again.
"No, we talked for a long time. I was planning to bring her home to meet you guys, and then..."
When Aunt Li heard this, she realized that something was wrong. She knew her own child well, and since he was already planning to bring her back to meet his parents to discuss marriage, it meant that he was definitely serious about this girl.
The girl must be interested in him, otherwise why would a young girl choose to give birth to a child and raise it alone?
Once something has been started, it is not difficult to continue.
Li Zhaoyang was awkward for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "And... and it wasn't me who broke up first. Strictly speaking, I was the one who was abandoned!"
Everyone present: "What?!"
