Xia Zhi and Qiao Xiang looked at Ye Linlang in shock at the same time.
Xia Zhi never expected that Ye Linlang would actually guess Xia Zhao's true identity.
"Linlang, how do you know?"
Ye Linlang looked at Xia Zhi, then at Qiao Xiang.
"I guessed."
Xia Zhi took a deep breath and dug out from the depths of his memory the past that he didn't want to look back on.
"The reason I was sent to the countryside was because Qiao Xiang and Qiao Yu started calling me mom."
"They were afraid that my story would be exposed, so they sent me to the countryside. Not long after I was there, I found out I was pregnant."
"In that era, getting pregnant before marriage was considered a shameful thing. You might even be forced to have an abortion. Just when I couldn't find any other solutions, Xia Jing arranged for that man to approach me."
"Seeing that the month was about to get longer, I had no choice but to use this trick. You have read a lot of books, so you might know what would be better under the circumstances at that time, but at that time, this was the only solution I could think of."
"After I marry that man, it will be even more impossible for me to return to Qianhu, and their threat will naturally be eliminated."
"Soon after Xia Zhao was born, the man changed and not only beat me, but also Xia Zhao."
"Perhaps he was afraid of being laughed at, so he never told anyone Xia Zhao's true identity."
"For Xia Zhao, I had no choice but to endure the man's domestic violence. In fact, in that mountain village, it was very common for men to beat women. People even often said that if a woman was disobedient, she could just be beaten up."
"Later, I had Xia Tian with that man, and my situation didn't get any better."
"If Xia Zhao hadn't been accepted into the junior class, I wouldn't have met Linlang in my life, and I wouldn't exist in this world."
Qiao Xiang listened to Xia Zhi's words silently. She looked extremely cold, and one could not tell the complex emotions in Qiao Xiang's heart just by looking at the naked eye.
"Is the Xia Zhao you mentioned really my biological brother?"
Xia Zhi couldn't hide it anymore and whispered, "It's true."
"Can I meet him?" Qiao Xiang asked.
She really wanted to know what her brother looked like. She hadn't seen his face clearly just now.
Because she often heard Xia Jing say that she wanted to have a son so that he could support her and her sisters in the future...
Now that I think about it, what Xia Jing said was just another performance of hers.
Xia Zhi said, "He went to pick Xia Tian up from school."
Ye Linlang looked at Qiao Xiang's hand, which was tightly clasped around hers, and whispered, "Would you two like to talk alone?"
Xia Zhi said: "Yes."
Qiao Xiang said: "No need."
At the same time, Xia's parents and Qiao Yu pushed open the gate like robbers.
Mother Xia stood at the gate with her hands on her hips, yelling like a shrew: "Come quickly, come and take a look! There's a psychopath here who's disrespectful to his parents!"
Qiao Yu did not expect Xia's mother to do this. She blushed with embarrassment and tugged at Xia's mother's sleeve.
"Grandma, please stop making trouble. It's so embarrassing!"
Mother Xia snorted coldly, "What's there to be ashamed of? She doesn't feel ashamed at all! How could I feel ashamed?"
Qiao Yu rushed to Qiao Xiang, grabbed her hand, and said coldly, "Sister, what's the point of talking to such a shameless woman? Let's go home."
Xia Zhi's face suddenly turned pale.
Qiao Xiang pulled his hand back from Qiao Yu's.
"Qiao Yu, are you going to choose Xia Jing as your mother now?"
