Chapter 366 Su Xiao’s existence is a shame to her
Oh my god!
Zhao Jiaying really didn't know about such a thing. She understood what her mother was talking about. Her father had also made mistakes before. But how could such a romantic affair happen to her second uncle? His second uncle and second aunt were well-known for their love and affection, and they were simply the model couple in this circle.
"Of course, your second uncle still has some sense. When your grandfather was still alive, your grandparents heard the rumors and immediately called him back. Your second aunt was also present at the time. Your second uncle didn't admit it, only saying that there was some ambiguous relationship, but he didn't do anything to let your second aunt down.
But the outside world was going crazy with the story. So many people were jealous of them at the time, so they exaggerated it and spread it all over the circle. It was the topic of conversation for a whole month. Your second aunt was such a proud and outspoken woman, so she couldn't stand it. She had a big fight with your second uncle and then ran away pregnant.
"So, this is the reason why Second Aunt doesn't like the child? She thinks that the existence of this child reminds her of the past, and even thinks that being pregnant with this child makes her unable to satisfy Second Uncle, which gives those women outside the opportunity to seduce Second Uncle?" Smart Zhao Jiaying quickly figured out what was going on.
Lu Minghui immediately gave her a look of approval. "Although your second aunt's background isn't as good as your second uncle's, she was also a pampered daughter from her family since she was a child. Later, she was always held in high esteem by your second uncle. She wants your second uncle to beg her to come back. She wants people in the circle to know that your second uncle can't live without her. No matter how attractive the women out there are, they are no match for her."
"What happened next? Did Second Uncle go to look for her?"
"A major accident happened at that time. Your second uncle, a high-ranking government official, couldn't leave. Your grandfather, being the most righteous and committed to the country, didn't approve of your second uncle abandoning his work. Your grandmother listened to your grandfather, and everyone tried to stop your second uncle from going. They sent someone else instead. This dragged on for several months. Your second aunt was disheartened and I heard she tried to self-harm several times and even wanted to abort the baby. But the baby was lucky enough to survive and was born prematurely at nine months. Sadly, he died soon after."
It would be strange if the child was healthy after all this trouble, so when the child died, no one thought much about it.
"Then why is it Su Xiao again? Why did Su Xiao go to the Su family?" Zhao Jiaying asked.
"Maybe we have to ask the Su family about this!" Lu Minghui said, and let out a long breath.
This past was a taboo for the entire Zhao family, especially as Zhao Zhixun rose higher and higher in the officialdom, it was no longer mentioned. The old lady only thought of these things after she grew old and the old man was gone. Everyone always thought that the old lady was imagining things, but they didn't expect that the child was really still there!
"Yingying, this is the whole thing. Mom thinks you shouldn't worry too much. In fact, the person who is most reluctant to talk about this is your Second Aunt, because this past is a shame for her, a shame, and even a stain on her life."
Yes, Zhao Jiaying finally understood why Lan Qiuling prevented her grandmother from recognizing Su Xiao. Other women would hug their daughters with joy and tears when they knew their biological daughters were still alive, but Second Aunt was so indifferent, and even looked at Su Xiao with eyes full of disgust and rejection.
Because Su Xiao's existence is equivalent to reminding Second Uncle of her betrayal. Although Second Uncle said that it had not reached the most critical step, only Second Uncle himself knows whether it happened or not. If Second Aunt believed it in her heart, there would not have been the drama of running away with the child later.
The most fatal thing is that once Su Xiao returns to her ancestral home, the events of the past will be brought up again. Those wives of officials who are jealous of and hostile to Second Aunt will take the opportunity to ridicule and mock Second Aunt, and may even use this opportunity to deal a blow to Second Uncle's political career!
Therefore, Su Xiao could not come back at all, and her second uncle and aunt themselves did not want to recognize her!
But……
"Mom, I heard from grandma that she seems to be determined to let Su Xiao return to her ancestral home. If she insists, my uncle and aunt won't dare to disobey her!" Zhao Jiaying thought of this and said hurriedly.
"Although your grandmother is the head of this family, she is old after all. To be frank, she can only live for a few years. Everyone respects her and goes along with her. But this matter concerns your second uncle and even the future of the entire Zhao family. They will not let the old lady act recklessly."
"But my second uncle is so filial..."
"Your second uncle does love your grandmother, but he also loves your second aunt. Don't worry, your second aunt is the only one who won't let those things happen. She's very capable, and nothing can't be done properly in her hands."
That’s right, the reason why Second Aunt is so loved by Second Uncle and has remained so for so many years is not only because of her beautiful appearance and good maintenance, but also because of Second Aunt’s wisdom and ability, which is a rare talent that only appears once in a thousand years.
Zhao Jiaying was indeed no longer as panicked and anxious as before, but when she calmed down, she thought more thoroughly. She didn't want to see any hidden dangers. She wanted to nip the weeds in the bud as soon as possible and cut off any risks. She began to calculate and plan in her mind again.
In short, Su Xiao will never be allowed to have the chance to return to this home. Since God has arranged a new fate for Su Xiao, let it remain like this forever!
Su Xiao was completely unaware of the turbulent events unfolding within the Zhao family, but the wise Yun Che was already feeling some turmoil.
After they left the hospital, Yun Che sent Su Xiao home. Along the way, Su Xiao was silent, her thoughts still on the scenes in the hospital. She felt sorry that the old lady was from the Zhao family.
Although she always said that she didn't want to marry above her station, she actually wanted to be close to the old lady. She had an inexplicable special feeling for the old lady and felt that she was like her own grandmother.
Now the old lady is a member of the Zhao family, the Zhao family she doesn't want to see at all. It seems that there is really no way to contact them.
“By the way, you later took your and your mother’s samples for identification. Is the report out yet?” Yun Che suddenly asked.
Su Xiao calmed down, looked sideways at him, and replied, "Yeah, it's out."
“What’s the result?” Yun Che asked solemnly. Seeing her expression, he knew that even if she didn’t say it, he already had a rough idea in his mind.
Then, another idea became more firm.
However, he continued to ask Su Xiao as if nothing had happened, "Your mother knows too, right? What did she say?"
"She said if I wanted to find my biological parents, she would take me to the hospital where I was born and do everything she could to help me find them."
"Will you go find it?"
"I... don't want to. Since we missed each other, maybe this is our own life. Does it really matter who gave birth to me? I have no memories of the past, only memories of me and my mother. My mother's biological daughter is helping me fulfill my filial duty over there. Maybe my biological parents won't recognize me either, and will blame me for ruining their current life? So, let it be."
Yun Che fell silent, his mind once again replaying the scenes in the hospital, noticing the strange behavior of the old lady and Lan Qiuling!
