Chapter 200 Shao Yun Learns the Truth
Shao Min was on a business trip to another city, and rushed back as soon as she received the news.
Upon arriving at the ward, I carefully lifted the blanket to examine Shao Yun's injuries. White bandages were wrapped layer upon layer around Shao Yun's thin body, seeping out red blood.
The surgeon who operated on Shao Yun was the head of surgery and Song Cheng's senior. His suturing skills were very high, but with such a severe injury, scarring was inevitable.
Shao Min's eyes reddened again and again as she looked at her son, who was still unconscious, with a pained expression.
I wonder if precocious children always experience more hardships. Shao Yun is praised as a little genius wherever he goes, but only his family knows what he has gone through at such a young age.
He let out a long sigh.
Shao Min covered Shao Yun with the blanket, touched his fair face, and turned her head away.
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan's expressions were both increasingly grim.
"..."
Shao Min couldn't stand it and sent them back to rest.
"Don't drag this on. If your health collapses, who will take care of Yunyun? Guilt isn't something to be used for now. The child's injury isn't your fault; it's all the work of those scumbags behind the scenes. Instead of crying your eyes out here, you should destroy their hideout and stop them from pulling any more tricks. Avenge Yunyun! That's what you, as her parents, should do!"
Shao Min's voice was firm and unyielding, brooking no argument: "Yunyun has me by his side. Don't forget, he's my son now, and he's the closest person to me."
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan were kicked out by Shao Min, and then received several phone calls from the Shao family.
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan's phones were both dead, and they couldn't get through to either of them. They were so anxious that their throats were practically on fire.
"If you want to come, then come. It would be good if you could help Ayan."
Shao Min stood by the window, her face grim and gloomy. "Those bastards are so heartless as to dare lay a hand on a child! They're utterly depraved! Do they really think the Shao family is a pushover?"
Halfway through her sentence, Shao Min realized she was speaking too loudly. Afraid of waking her son, she turned her head and saw that Shao Yun had opened his eyes at some point.
Shao Yun stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, then his dark pupils looked at her.
Shao Min: "..."
Feeling guilty under her son's gaze, Shao Min didn't have time to say much. She replied to Shao Mushi with a few words and ended the call.
"Yunyun, you're awake?"
Shao Min hurried over to Shao Yun, her previous stern expression replaced by tenderness as she bent down with concern: "Does it hurt? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Shao Yun frowned slightly, looked at the water glass on the bedside table, and nodded slowly.
Shao Min inserted the straw into the water glass and brought it to Shao Yun's lips.
Shao Yun took a few breaths, and his hoarse throat was soothed, finally allowing him to speak.
Shao Min gently stroked the hair covering his eyes, her eyes filled with unspeakable heartache. "Does it hurt, baby?"
"Um."
Shao Yun didn't say it didn't hurt, but she didn't show that she was in much pain either. She just looked at Shao Min and asked in a strangely calm voice, "Are my uncle and aunt my biological parents?"
boom!
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, it left Shao Min completely bewildered.
Her pupils widened suddenly as she stared straight at Shao Yun. "Son, you...you heard everything?"
"Um."
Shao Yun had been awake for a while, but the pain and fatigue in his body prevented him from opening his eyes.
He heard every word of their conversation.
At first, when he heard his uncle and aunt talking, he thought he was dreaming, because he often dreamed that they would become his biological parents and take him out to play.
In his dream, he called them "Dad and Mom," as if they were a family and had never been separated.
...until, Mom came.
The moment Shao Yun heard "biological father and mother" from her mouth, he instantly woke up from his dream.
So it wasn't a dream after all.
It is a fact.
His uncle and aunt really did transform into his biological parents.
So the question is, why did they abandon him in the first place?
Shao Min was already panicked, more panicked than ever before.
The calmer Shao Yun appeared, the more flustered she became.
She knew her son well; whether Shao Yun cried tears of joy or felt wronged and resentful, Shao Min could find a way to soothe any outward emotions he might have.
But Shao Yun was eerily quiet. After receiving confirmation from her, he frowned slightly, said "I know" in a low voice, and then closed his eyes again.
—They sealed Shao Min's mouth shut, preventing her from telling a story.
It's clear: I've read it, but I won't listen.
Shao Min was at a loss.
I knew the truth would eventually come out, but I never imagined it would explode in this way.
—
Shao Muyan and Yu Yan returned home, both physically and mentally exhausted.
I hadn't slept all night and had been living in fear for so long. I managed to stay strong, but as soon as I got home, all my energy was gone.
With his phone dead, Shao Muyan found a charger and plugged it in. He didn't look at anything or reply to anything, and simply lay down on the bed with Yu Yan in his arms.
"Go to sleep. You need to be well-rested to have the energy to work. There are still many things to take care of."
Shao Muyan kissed Yu Yan's forehead and spoke softly in a hoarse voice.
Yu Yan closed her eyes.
Soon the two of them fell into a deep sleep.
Actually, the sleep wasn't long, but when you're extremely tired, even lying down for a short while feels like recharging.
Sleep is the best medicine.
When Yu Yan woke up, Shao Muyan was on the phone in the bathroom outside. Her voice could be faintly heard through the door; it was Shen Han, a name she had never heard before.
She sat up, rubbed her forehead to calm the dizziness, and went into the bathroom.
After finishing his phone call, Shao Muyan came out of the bathroom and returned to his room, only to find the bed empty. He immediately went downstairs.
The aroma of porridge wafted from the kitchen. Shao Muyan gently opened the door and was greeted by Yu Yan's smiling face.
"I cooked you rice and red date porridge to replenish your blood."
She cooked a lot, intending to take it to the hospital later.
Shao Muyan looked at Yu Yan's pale face. She had tied her hair up and looked much more energetic, but the fatigue in her eyes was still impossible to hide.
My heart ached.
Shao Muyan walked over and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her thin shoulder. "So much has happened lately, I know you're feeling bad. Don't hold it in, let it all out, take it out on me, I can take it."
Yu Yan paused in her chopping, and gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"It's not your fault, why should I yell at you?"
"How can it not be my fault?"
Shao Muyan lowered his voice, "If I hadn't been caught off guard and tricked back then, we wouldn't have started like that. It was my fault that you got pregnant and that you ended up marrying Xiang Jingheng by mistake... All those three years of hard work were for nothing. I was so stupid. If I had found out about you earlier... no, whether it was you or not, I should have been with you sooner. I failed to take good care of you."
After a pause, he added, "We also failed to take good care of our children."
Shao Muyan was extremely frustrated.
From childhood to adulthood, he was seen as a prodigy, seemingly capable of anything. He could complete even the most challenging and profound tasks. He was never afraid of difficulties and was accustomed to challenging authority and taking control of everything.
Faced with fate, Shao Muyan was reduced to a nobody, and for a moment, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
But it was only for a moment.
Soon, Shao Muyan regained his composure, straightened his back, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice with a hint of mischief.
"My sister tipped me off, saying that Yunyun already knows the truth. We, as parents, need to prepare to meet our son."
Yu Yan stared at him, her mouth agape.
