Yi Tianran didn't tell her about the secret room, lest the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be for her.
However, upon hearing that Yi Laosan had an accident, Yi Tianran felt this was a good opportunity. "Grandma, I heard that the three Yi brothers are taking turns taking care of Yi Laosan now. Why don't we go and visit him, and ask him something?"
The old lady always granted her granddaughter's every request.
We set off that afternoon and arrived outside the intensive care unit of Yi Family Hospital.
"Mom, why did you come here?" Yi Hai looked surprised, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Yi Lao Da and Lao Si also came out at the same time.
"My third son is about to die, and you didn't even inform me. Do you really think I'm cold-blooded and heartless?" The old lady said bitterly with a disappointed look. "Although he is idle and doesn't do any proper work and loves to gamble, he is still a member of the Yi family."
"Even if it was him who got into trouble, even if you were hit by a car, injured by a thief, or struck by lightning, I would still bury my children and personally attend your funerals. After all, you've called me 'Mother' for so many years; consider it fulfilling a mother-child bond."
Yi Tianran, disguised as a butler, was waiting on the side, struggling to suppress her laughter.
"..." The three brothers' faces turned green in an instant.
What kind of concern is this? It's clearly the most vicious curse. You just wish we would die sooner!
Although they were furious inside, she was, after all, their mother in name, and the three brothers couldn't possibly take their anger out on her.
The eldest son said gently, "Mom, you've misunderstood. My third brother isn't going to die anytime soon. He's just in a deep coma for the time being, and there's still a chance he'll wake up."
"Really? It seems I worried for nothing. I really thought he was going to die this time!" Old Mrs. Yi's tone seemed to still carry a hint of regret, and her tone became indifferent. "In that case, I won't go in to see him. Anyway, evil deeds live on for a thousand years. I believe he can pull through this."
The three brothers: "..."
So what exactly are you here for?
Are they deliberately nitpicking, or are they just being sarcastic and enjoying the spectacle?
"Then, we'll take you back," Yi Hai said, suppressing his temper.
"No need." The old lady reached out and patted Yi Tianran's hand beside her. "I brought someone with me. It's enough for her to accompany me back."
"Then you..."
The old lady's face immediately darkened. "But before I leave, I have some things to tell the eldest son."
Yi Laoda frowned slightly, suppressing his impatience, and walked up to the old lady. "Mother, what do you want to say?"
The old lady said with displeasure, "What kind of attitude is this? Who are you trying to impress with that fierce look?"
Old Master Yi was startled. Although he was furious inside, he didn't show it on his face and was still very polite!
He was about to ask when Yi Tianran, who was standing nearby, explained to the old lady, "Madam, you misunderstand. The eldest master didn't deliberately put on a fierce face. It's just that he spent half a year in prison and has a scar on his face, which makes him look fierce."
"Oh, I see!" The old lady suddenly realized, then clicked her tongue. "He wasn't very good-looking to begin with, and now with this scar, he looks just like those hooligans, so ugly he can't be seen by anyone."
With that kind of appearance, how can he possibly bring a positive image to the company if he inherits the Yi Group?
Boss Yi's face turned ashen, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.
That old hag, is she deliberately trying to embarrass him?
They clearly don't intend to delegate power to them, yet they make it sound so high-sounding.
He swallowed his anger and said, "Mother, you're overthinking it. I've already scheduled the surgery in advance, and the scar will be removed. It won't affect the company at all."
Yi Hai and Yi Lao Si secretly admired their eldest brother, thinking, "He's really capable!"
He didn't get angry even after that.
This is almost like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
"Alright, enough of this nonsense." The old lady waved her hand, seemingly too lazy to argue with him, and said seriously, "What I want to tell you is related to Lianxue."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers' expressions changed simultaneously.
The eldest son, Yi, remained calmer. "Lianxue? Mom, why did you bring her up?"
“Although she has done many wrong things, she is still your daughter. I’ve thought about it, and the punishment has been enough for so long.” The old lady sighed. “I’m getting old and don’t want the younger generation to suffer outside. Why don’t you find an opportunity to bring her back? Keep a low profile in the future and live a good life. After going through this, she will definitely repent.”
"No way." Boss Yi said mercilessly, "She has disgraced the Yi family, and I will never forgive her."
"How can you treat your own daughter like this?" the old lady said, her face showing displeasure. "She is, after all, a child of the Yi family. What is so unforgivable about her!"
"No..." Boss Yi said expressionlessly, "She is not."
Old lady: "What are you saying in anger—"
“I’m not just saying this out of anger.” Boss Yi interrupted in a deep voice, “I didn’t originally intend to say this, after all, it concerns my reputation, but since things have come to this, I’ll tell you anyway. In fact, Yi Lianxue is the bastard child born from my deceased wife’s infidelity. I’ve been raising her for the sake of the Yi family’s reputation. Now that she has done something to damage the Yi family’s image, she has nothing to do with me from now on.”
These words surprised not only Old Lady Yi.
Even the other two brothers were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dislocated.
Yi Lao Si thought he was already miserable enough for being cuckolded, but he didn't expect that his boss was even worse off, having to admit to such a shameful thing in public.
Thinking about it this way, the resentment and bitterness in my heart seemed insignificant.
"You kept this a secret for so long after it happened." The old lady sighed deeply, and finally advised, "No matter what, you've raised her for so many years. Even if you're not related by blood, you've developed feelings for her. Bring her back, even if it's just to get plastic surgery, change her name, and start a new life!"
Yi Laoda, however, remained stubborn. "Mom, you don't need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. I'll pretend I never had a daughter."
"Yes, Mom, you have no idea how painful it is to be cuckolded, so don't make things difficult for my brother."
"I don't understand?" Old Mrs. Yi seemed to have been struck by a painful secret. Her face turned cold as she said, "Your father has had more than a dozen mistresses outside and brought you illegitimate children home. Did I kick you out of the house?"
"I'm not your biological mother, yet I can be so magnanimous, accepting and raising you. Why can't the eldest do the same? Or do you simply not respect me at all?"
Upon hearing this, the three brothers were speechless.
If Boss Yi were to refuse again after all this, it would mean he truly didn't respect the old lady.
"Mother," Yi Laoda finally said helplessly, "To be honest, Lianxue couldn't bear the hardship of being confined and reflecting on her mistakes, so she ran away from home some time ago and hasn't returned yet."
