Chapter 371: Living in a World of Two
Since Yangyang was born to Su Xiao, his parents must want Yangyang to return to Su Xiao. This would be equivalent to breaking up with Zhao Jiaying. Then his uncle and others might also feel resentful. Everyone is selfish and will tend to favor the people closest to them by blood at critical moments.
Yun Che seemed to have guessed Zhao Yixuan's concerns and continued to tell him about the hospital.
Zhao Yixuan was shocked again. "So, that's when you started to suspect it?"
Yun Che nodded, "Well, I don't understand why your mother doesn't want to recognize Su Xiao."
"Could it be because of your concern for my aunt and uncle and Zhao Jiaying?"
"That might be a possible reason, but I still don't think it's the most crucial one. By the way, can you tell me what happened when your mother was pregnant with Su Xiao? I heard..." Yun Che paused for a moment before continuing, "At that time, your father had an affair with a female subordinate, which led to your mother running away from home while pregnant?"
Zhao Yixuan's heart continued to tremble as he stared at Yun Che intently. He was surprised that Yun Che had investigated so much and once again felt that Yun Che was terrifying.
Yun Che's face showed an apologetic expression. "Don't worry, I told you long ago that I wouldn't go after your Zhao family. The reason I wanted to clarify this wasn't to get Su Xiao to recognize you. Su Xiao actually doesn't want to find her biological parents. She thinks it's best for everyone to be well. I wanted to clarify this just to have some clarity in my mind. I don't want Su Xiao to be hurt again."
Zhao Yixuan's heart gradually calmed down. He glanced at Yun Che and said, "I only overheard my grandmother and father talking about what happened back then. But my father said that he did admire that woman back then, but they didn't have an actual relationship."
“But some people in the circle will spread the news as if it were true, and your mother will also be affected by it.” Yun Che said.
"My mom was from a prominent family back then, and her marriage to my dad was something that people envied and jealously aroused. Unlike other politically-connected couples, they weren't as respectful to each other as other guests. Instead, they were in love with each other and truly loved each other. This touched a sore spot for some people, so they all hoped that my mom and dad would have a conflict. Even if they didn't divorce, they would at least be less in love with each other. Regardless, this is not a good thing after all, and it has become a taboo in our family. Are you sure my mom doesn't want to recognize Su Xiao?"
"Well, your grandma originally wanted to tell it, but your mom repeatedly stopped her. I thought it was strange at that time, and then I remembered that Su Xiao just happened to know that the Su family's parents were not biological children, so I connected the dots. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right."
Zhao Yixuan had long experienced Yun Che's sharp mind. Even the slightest clue would not escape his discerning eyes, and he could always find the truth from it.
Unexpectedly, the truth this time was related to a secret of their family!
"Su Xiao, do you know?" Zhao Yixuan asked hesitantly after a while.
Yun Che shook his head. “I haven’t told her yet because I don’t know whether I should let her know. If I find out it’s someone else, I’ll tell her directly. It’s up to her to decide whether to acknowledge her or not. But right now, it’s the Zhao family that she rejects the most. Moreover, if she knew that her biological mother didn’t actually want to acknowledge her, it would be an absolute devastating blow to her!”
Yes, it’s bad enough to be away from my parents at a young age, and I’m also disliked by my parents.
Whenever Zhao Yixuan thought of such a possibility, he felt distressed and depressed.
But he still didn't believe that his mother was unwilling to recognize Su Xiao.
He said to Yun Che, "Then don't tell her yet. I think even if my mother doesn't want to recognize Su Xiao for the time being, she has her own reasons. I'll investigate thoroughly first. In any case, it's definitely not like what you said. My mother has always wanted a daughter. She's been so kind to Zhao Jiaying over the years because she looks a bit like her. I guess she's transferred the love she has for my sister to Zhao Jiaying. So I still think she doesn't want to recognize Su Xiao for the time being because she's worried about Zhao Jiaying."
"Okay, I hope it's really that simple. Go find out first, and tell me if you have any questions."
"Thank you, Che."
“What are you thanking me for? Thank me for helping you find your sister? Hey, you’re younger than me, yet I have to call you brother-in-law. I thought I could get rid of this title after divorcing Zhao Jiaying, but who knew the result would still be…” Yun Che teased again.
Zhao Yixuan finally showed a hint of relief on his face. "This is what we call destiny. Perhaps you owed me in your past life, and you have to treat me like a brother in this life!"
"Tsk, I owe more than just you. I owe your Zhao family too. I thought I could get rid of the Zhao family, but who knew..."
Haha——Zhao Yixuan laughed.
If anyone else could get close to the Zhao family, they would probably burn incense and pray to Buddha, but Yun Che felt that it was a kind of bondage.
However, when Zhao Yixuan thought about himself, he also felt constrained. His life had been arranged from the beginning, and all he had to do was to move forward step by step according to their arrangements. He had no autonomy at all.
Yun Che does what he wants, and even though he knows that his father's arrangements are for his own good, he still feels depressed.
After Yun Che and Zhao Yixuan parted ways, he called Su Xiao and said, "Let's go out for dinner tonight. Just you and me. Don't bring Nini this time."
Su Xiao was stunned. "Eat out? Why?"
"Because I want to spend some time with my wife, and I want to pamper her and love her. By the way, we have to go somewhere after dinner. Tell your mom that I will be home late and let them sleep first."
Su Xiao couldn't help but feel even more puzzled, but his words were indeed helpful to her. Su Xiao knew that he might have said it to tease her, but she still took it to heart, feeling touched and excited, so she readily agreed.
Half an hour later, Yun Che came downstairs to pick her up and found that she seemed to have changed into a new set of clothes, which made his eyes light up.
Su Xiao probably guessed what he was thinking. Her pretty face flushed and she covered her hair uncomfortably.
"Su Xiao, I'm so happy!" Yun Che's deep voice reached her ears, and soon his warm lips landed on her smooth and beautiful neck. "I've been with you for so long, but today is the only time I feel that you love me in your heart."
Uh—Su Xiao was embarrassed.
Usually, except when meeting guests, she usually dressed casually, but before going out today, she couldn't help but stare at the wardrobe for a while, and then picked out this dress.
In fact, he was the one who gave her this skirt. He said that when he saw the skirt, he thought it would look good on her, so he bought it. Of course, it turned out to be so good, and he even asked her to wear it more often.
But later, they separated and she should have thrown away all the things about him, but she kept this dress.
Of course, he no longer remembers.
Su Xiao didn't intend to tell him about the past. She just stayed with him tenderly, moved by her emotions. Yun Che continued to look at the skirt she was wearing and said, "I like this skirt. Remember to wear it more often in the future, okay?"
