Zhao Yu closed his eyes, and his hands hanging by his side began to tremble uncontrollably.
"How wonderful." Huo Minxuan interrupted and then applauded. The sound was particularly loud in the living room which fell into a brief silence.
His eyes were glued to An Meng's face, and he said in an ambiguous tone, "An Meng, you know a lot!"
Xie Yun frowned very slightly.
An Meng didn't take it seriously. She ignored Huo Minxuan and said to Zhao Yu, "Uncle Zhao, am I right? You dote on Zhao Ya in every way, even giving him everything he wants. No one would doubt your blood relationship."
Zhao Yu's face was ashen, and he stared at Zhao Ya in front of him with a vacant look. At this moment, the father and son stood face to face, and their faces had some unspeakable similarities.
As Zhao Ya was growing up, Zhao Yu often heard people say things like, "Old Zhao, your son looks just like you." "You're so lucky! People say sons look like their mothers and daughters like their fathers, but you're the opposite. You look like a spitting image."
Every time Zhao Yu heard this, he would smile, and the person who was speaking would not be able to tell anything was wrong.
But no one knew that Zhao Ya was not his biological son at all!
Zhao Yu buried this unspeakable secret deep in his heart for more than ten years.
Zhao Yu once had a twin brother named Zhao Hong.
The two are identical twins who grew up together. They have two copies of everything they eat, use, and wear.
Not only that, Zhao Yu and Zhao Hong look very similar. Even their biological parents sometimes have to look carefully to tell them apart.
The two brothers have a very good relationship. In the past twenty years, they have never fought over each other. Zhao Yu even feels that he and his twin brother will support each other for the rest of their lives and there will never be any rift between them.
But there is nothing in the world that never changes, no feelings that never change, and no people who never change.
When Zhao Hong was a junior in college, he had a girlfriend named Bai Muya. They were very close and had a very good relationship.
If nothing goes wrong, they will be a loving couple.
However, something unexpected happened on the day Zhao Yu met Bai Muya. Zhao Hong brought Bai Muya to have dinner with Zhao Yu.
Zhao Hong's plan is to let Zhao Yu meet Bai Muya, who will be his sister-in-law.
But Bai Muya just smiled politely at Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu stayed where he was, his heart beating wildly.
He fell deeply in love with her, and was unforgettable, in love with her, and moved at first sight.
However much he liked her, he still had his sanity. This was his brother's girlfriend! And she would be his sister-in-law in the future!
Zhao Yu suppressed this emotion in the deepest part of his heart for six years.
Six years ago, Zhao Hong and Bai Muya were already married, but Zhao Yu's feelings for Bai Muya not only did not fade away, but became even stronger.
As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to have one. And there is also a saying that what you can't get is always causing you unrest.
This kind of immoral emotion becomes more and more intense with repeated repression and depression, just like a flood trapped in a floodgate. When the water level rises to the extreme, it will inevitably break through the floodgate and rush out.
Due to various coincidences, Zhao Yu's floodgate was completely lost, and the flood has been raging since then.
It had been so long that Zhao Yu couldn't quite remember what he had done there, but he was staying at Zhao Hong and Bai Muya's house.
It happened that Zhao Hong was on a business trip. On a dark and windy night, Zhao Yu walked into the bedroom of Bai Muya and Zhao Hong for some unknown reason.
The light in the room was dim, and Bai Muya initially thought he was Zhao Hong, and even called Zhao Hong's name twice.
It was not until Zhao Yu climbed onto the bed that Bai Muya suddenly realized that this person was not her husband at all!
Even if the two are extremely similar twins, how can a wife not tell who is who when they sleep on the same pillow?
She screamed and resisted in panic, thinking of escaping, but no matter how she struggled and resisted, it only made Zhao Yu, who had been suppressed for many years, more excited.
After that night, Bai Muya kicked Zhao Yu out of the house after he woke up and took the contraceptive pill herself.
She hesitated countless times and wanted to tell her husband, but closed her mouth countless times - it was because this matter was too embarrassing and she just couldn't say it.
Not to mention, no one in the world, regardless of gender, would not mind such a thing happening to their partner.
In short, from then on, she behaved uncharacteristically. Whenever her husband got too close to Zhao Yu and wanted to invite him to their home as a guest, Bai Muya would cry and make a fuss.
It is always easier and simpler to conceal the truth than to expose the bloody truth. Bai Muya kept fermenting and brewing in her stomach, thinking that one day, no matter what, she would tell Zhao Hong the truth.
But Bai Muya didn't wait for that day.
Zhao Hong worked in a construction unit. Half a year later, he accidentally fell from a high scaffolding and passed away.
At the same time, Bai Muya found out that she was pregnant. This was Zhao Hong's posthumous child, and she insisted on giving birth to the child.
Zhao Yu finally waited for the opportunity - he tried to please her in every way, softened his attitude and said that he would take care of Bai Muya for his brother.
Bai Muya was alone, and pregnancy was indeed inconvenient for her. After her husband's accident, her mental state was much worse than before, and her body was also extremely weak. She did not have much energy to spend on Zhao Yu.
——What's more, Zhao Yu's initial attitude did seem to have returned to the normal boundaries of a brother-in-law.
But only Zhao Yu himself knew what nonsense he had said to Bai Muya.
After hearing An Meng's words, Zhao Yu's eyes became dull and he looked at her without focus. Layers of cold sweat soaked his back.
How did she—how on earth did she know that?
The tea was almost cold. An Meng took a few gulps to moisten her throat before continuing, "Not long after Bai Muya gave birth, you changed your ways and began to illegally imprison her."
[Zhao Yu is really forcing love in real life!]
"Not only was Bai Muya's child registered with you, but you also kept her locked up at home every day, fearing she might run away. Her physical and mental health wasn't great to begin with, and childbirth drained her of energy. Add to that the anger and frustration she felt at being forced into a coercion, and she died of depression not long after."
After hearing the last sentence, Zhao Yu's eyes showed an unspeakable pain, and he collapsed to the ground.
He treated Zhao Ya with all his heart, not because he was his biological son, not because he loved Zhao Ya so much, and not because he was Zhao Hong's son.
But it’s because Zhao Ya is Bai Muya’s child.
