Fu Weidong blinked and peeked at Shi Lingheng from Grandma Fan's arms, looking at him with a questioning expression that said, "What bad thing have you done now?"
Shi Lingheng touched his nose and glanced guiltily at Grandpa Fan and Grandma Fan.
The two old men snorted and glared at him fiercely. Grandpa Fan, unusually, abandoned his usual aloof demeanor and instead puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "What are you looking at us for? Speaking of which, the person you've wronged the most is this child..."
Fu Weidong's eyes twitched. How come it seems to be related to him?
He looked at Shi Lingheng with a hint of curiosity.
Shi Lingheng sighed. He had kept some things from his grandparents, not telling them about the hidden dangers. But if he told Fu Weidong about this, it would mean revealing everything about the Fu family.
"I want to talk to him privately..."
Shi Lingheng spoke up.
The elderly couple from the Fan family weren't unreasonable; they waved their hands, telling them to go chat in the "garden" in the courtyard...
For some reason, Fu Weidong felt his heart beating unusually fast, as if something important was about to happen. He tried his best to remain calm and followed Shi Lingheng out of the house.
Arriving at the place called the Garden, which was actually now a vegetable garden, Shi Lingheng looked complicated. Seeing his strange expression, Fu Weidong couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
Shi Lingheng crouched down to meet his gaze, his expression becoming serious: "What I'm about to say concerns your background..."
Fu Weidong was stunned for a moment. Whether it was the adult Fu Weidong, or the little dumpling who was being taken care of by Fan Xiaofan in his previous life, they really didn't know anything about their background.
My background?
I unconsciously repeated a sentence.
Shi Lingheng nodded and said seriously, "Perhaps you should call me Uncle..."
Fu Weidong took a step back, looking at Shi Lingheng with an expression that said, "Are you crazy?"
Since Shi Lingheng had already decided to tell the truth, he had no intention of hiding anything from the child. He stayed by Fu Weidong's side as his master to teach the child and knew the child's character.
"You took my sister-in-law's surname, Fu..."
Fu Weidong shook his head: "Impossible. If it were true, why didn't you acknowledge me before?"
Shi Lingheng closed his eyes in pain and slowly said, "Do you still remember what you did to my brother before?"
Fu Weidong nodded in remembrance. Although he was young, he knew that Grandpa and Grandma Fan had lamented Shi Lingyun's early death at home many times back then...
"At that time, my eldest brother had an accident, and your mother, my sister-in-law, also died unexpectedly. The Shi family was in dire straits, and if your identity were exposed, you might not even be able to survive..."
"You're like a child carrying a gold brick through a bustling city, utterly defenseless..."
Shi Lingheng told him everything about the Fu family, including the dangers that currently surrounded him...
Fu Weidong shook his head and stepped back. He needed to process everything. He even wanted to question Shi Lingheng: if all of this was true, why did they find him in this life, but he suffered so much in the previous life?
He even wished he were an orphan. Sometimes he thought that since his parents, whom he had entrusted to the Tian family, were dead, all his suffering was just a cruel twist of fate...
