Chapter 500: Unaware
"You are Li Jinxing's elder brother, so of course I have to stop you!"
Nie Yao frowned and shouted in a deep voice, "Just because you can't feel your legs doesn't mean you can torture yourself like this! You clearly just visited your parents and talked to them a lot, and now you're leaving the cemetery like this? Are you blaming your mother for making you lose your healthy legs?"
"Blame?" Li Yaofeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, his voice sounding a little hoarse and unpleasant.
"How dare I blame her? I just hate myself for being useless. I shouldn't have let her protect me and save me back then! If she hadn't saved me, she wouldn't have died, and Li Jinxing wouldn't have lost his mother..."
When Li Yaofeng said this, his muscles were tense and even his voice was trembling. He looked nothing like the majestic look that Nie Yao had when she first met him!
"Mother and child are connected by heart, and they are both flesh and blood. She chose to save you first, which is natural! I believe that if she knew about this, she would not regret saving you. As for your legs being in this state, it was definitely not what she wanted to see. All she wanted at the time was to save your life!"
Nie Yao paused and whispered, "At least in her opinion, you're still alive, that's enough! As long as you're alive, there's hope—"
This is also the principle her adoptive father once taught her, no matter when or where, never give up hope of living!
When Li Yaofeng heard her say this, his clenched fists dropped dejectedly, and his violent expression was replaced by intense sadness.
"Mother and child are connected by heart, you're right..." Li Yaofeng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "But she's not my biological mother. We're not related by blood. She shouldn't have saved me..."
"What did you say?" Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, loosened her grip on his wrist, and looked at him in surprise, thinking she had misheard.
"You heard right, she's not my biological mother!" Li Yaofeng saw Nie Yao's shocked expression, sighed softly, and said in a faint voice: "She's not my biological mother! I existed before she married my father..."
"Then Li Jinxing..." Nie Yao didn't know what to say for a moment, and her mind was a little confused.
"Li Jinxing doesn't know about this!" Li Yaofeng answered without hesitation, which immediately made Nie Yao even more confused.
So Li Jinxing always regarded Li Yaofeng as his biological elder brother, but it turns out that Li Yaofeng is not Li Jinxing's biological brother, but a half-brother?
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell him?" After a moment of shock, Nie Yao couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"How should I tell him?" Li Yaofeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, whispering, "Li Jinxing was still young at the time. My father didn't want him to be confused about these relationships, nor did he want him to have conflicts with his brothers when he grew up because of his half-brothers. So he discussed it with my mother and decided not to tell him..."
He paused here, then continued with a wry smile, "But then something happened to our parents, leaving only him and me at home. He was still so young, how could I tell him the truth?"
Li Yaofeng's rhetorical question left Nie Yao speechless.
At that time, the Li family was in trouble and the two brothers depended on each other. If Li Jinxing knew that the eldest brother he thought was his biological brother was not his biological brother, he would probably suffer a greater blow!
"At that time, Li Jinxing couldn't accept the fact that his parents had both passed away. He cried all day and all night. Later, I hired many psychologists to cure his childhood traumatic syndrome..."
