Chapter 142 Did you never suspect that Yunyun was your son?
It must be said that Su Rui possesses a unique charm.
Today he was dressed in a white robe, his hair still styled in a bun as usual, blending seamlessly with the mountain scenery and rain, exuding an indescribable elegance and grace.
But in the eyes of children, he is like a character who stepped out of an animated film. When talking to them, he seems like a peer and does not give people a superior feeling.
Xiang Chu glanced furtively at Yu Yan and pouted, "Who said I don't like her?"
"ha!"
Su Rui's reaction was both genuine and exaggerated: "Your attitude towards your parents is completely different, don't you realize it yourself?"
"I..." Xiang Chushi was speechless.
He had to admit that there was a distance between him and Yu Yan, after all, he grew up with his father and was naturally closer to him.
"Actually, it's nothing."
Su Rui comforted the child, "It's normal that you're not close to her, but you can't take advantage of being a son to bully your mother. It's okay not to love her, but don't hurt her. You can just find yourself another mother."
Xiang Chu frowned upon hearing this.
He had thought about this before, and at one point he even thought that his godmother would be his future mother, and that he would spend the rest of his life with his father.
But when his godmother took advantage of him time and time again, even throwing him into the sea and nearly drowning him, he realized that his godmother's love for him was fake, and that she was not really good to him at all.
The person who truly protected him without reservation when he was in danger, even risking his life to save him, was actually his own mother, Yu Yan, whom he had always treated coldly.
Think back to the kidnapping incident and the drowning incident; it was Yu Yan who saved him.
His biological mother is the only one who would never hurt him.
"It's not up to me to decide who my dad marries."
Xiang Chu also threw a little tantrum, "Anyway, I only have one biological mother, but I might have many stepmothers."
Xiang Jingheng: "..."
What kind of talk is that?
Xiang Jingheng looked over at Yu Yan, afraid that she might misunderstand something.
Yu Yan's face remained cold and indifferent, showing no change whatsoever in response to Xiang Chu's words.
Su Rui chuckled.
Just then, the rain stopped. He clapped his hands, stood up, and sighed as he left, "Whether someone is close or not is hard to say. Blood ties are unimportant at times, but very important at others. It's best to figure things out."
These words, spoken casually, struck everyone like a thunderclap.
Yu Yan, Shao Muyan, and Xiang Jingheng all looked up at the same time, watching Su Rui's figure disappear through the doorway, his clothes fluttering. He walked silently and quickly vanished into the mist.
It's as if some reclusive master left behind a mystery and then vanished without a trace.
Shao Yun and Xiang Chu sat on small stools, both children seemingly understanding but not quite, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.
The air suddenly became still.
Some noises came from the bedroom, and everyone came to their senses.
Grandpa Yu woke up. Su Rui's acupuncture was truly amazing. Just an hour ago, his back was stiff and he dared not move, but now he could move around.
Xiang Jingheng's back pain was gone. Amazed by the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine, he paid even more attention to the words left by that Doctor Su.
He specifically pointed to "bloodline," could it be that he noticed something was wrong with Xiang Chu's background?
However, after Xiang Chu was born, his mother forced him to have his DNA tested, and they were confirmed to be father and son, so there was no problem.
If the problem isn't with them, then it must be with Shao Yun.
Xiang Jingheng looked at Shao Yun. From the first time he saw Shao Yun, he felt that this was undoubtedly a child of the Shao family. He was quite surprised to learn that Shao Yun was adopted.
After all, he and Shao Muyan look so alike, they look like nephews no matter how you look at them.
Xiang Jingheng's mind was filled with random thoughts when he suddenly met Yu Yan's gaze, which froze him for a moment before bringing him back to his senses.
Yu Yan glanced at him and said, "Come out with me."
Xiang Jingheng's heart skipped a beat.
She finally looked at him properly!
Grandpa Yu told Grandma to take the two children out, then pulled Shao Muyan aside and said with a serious expression, "Did you hear what Old Su said when he left?"
Shao Muyan nodded, "I heard you."
"That guy never talks nonsense."
Grandpa Yu lay on the bed, his brow furrowed. "He must have figured something out."
Shao Muyan was also interested, but he had some doubts. "Dr. Su, are you referring to Xiang Chu or Shao Yun?"
Grandpa Yu also shook his head.
"I don't know. Old Su is being deliberately mysterious and won't explain things clearly, leaving everyone to guess. It's so annoying!"
Seeing the teacher's indignant expression, Shao Muyan smiled and said, "It's a secret that can't be revealed. Perhaps it's hard to say."
"It's hard to say."
Old Master Yu said to Shao Muyan, "You should know why Yu Yan and Xiang Jingheng got married back then. It was because of Xiang Chu that they came together. But because of this child, Yu Yan has been tied down for so many years. If this child is close to Yu Yan, we won't say anything. Even if they divorce, our Yu family can afford to raise a child."
"But this child... you saw it yourself, he's incredibly dangerous. I almost died the last time I saw him, so you can imagine how badly Yu Yan was hurt. Sigh, some children are born to collect debts. If it's your own child, then accept your fate, but if not..."
As Old Yu spoke, he narrowed his eyes.
Shao Muyan's heart sank, his pupils contracted, "You mean..."
"Let's check it out."
Old Yu lowered his voice, "That child's eyes were so cold. I don't know why, but the closer I got to him, the colder I felt. He really didn't seem like..."
It doesn't seem like your own child.
The old man didn't say the last few words, but Shao Muyan understood what his teacher meant.
"I understand, teacher," Shao Muyan replied. "Leave this to me; I'll look into it."
Master Yu nodded; he trusted his apprentice to handle things.
“And Yunyun.”
Mentioning Shao Yun, the old man's eyes softened considerably. He looked up at Shao Muyan and asked, "Didn't you ever doubt that Yunyun is your son?"
Shao Muyan was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Teacher..." He chuckled helplessly, then pleaded, "Who would I have a child with?"
Old Master Yu also found it amusing, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Who told you two to look so alike? Not only do you look alike, but your personalities are too. Have you asked your sister if Yunyun is really not her child?"
"No, it's not."
Shao Muyan shook his head and said, "She couldn't be happier. Actually, it's not just my sister. After my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law saw Yunyun, they forced my eldest brother and second brother to go to the hospital for a checkup. They both suspected that Yunyun was a child of the Shao family."
Thinking of this, I smiled helplessly again.
“Especially my second brother. When Yunyun was first brought home, my second sister-in-law almost tore the roof off the house. She thought Yunyun was my second brother’s illegitimate child and that we had conspired to deceive her. My parents were very anxious and took my second brother to the hospital for a checkup.”
Old Yu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the mischievous antics of the second son and his wife from the Shao family, but his back ached.
She glared at Shao Muyan again, "If you were as shameless as your second brother, you and Xiao Yan would have gotten together long ago. Why are you still dragging your feet like this?"
Shao Muyan lowered his head in shame. In terms of thick skin, he was indeed not as shameless as his second brother.
"Go and keep an eye on things," Old Master Yu urged his apprentice. "Xiang Jingheng is pursuing us so closely, you should have some sense of crisis. Go quickly."
Shao Muyan was not so good-tempered towards Xiang Jingheng, and his face darkened.
"No way. I'll kill him."
