Jing's mother believed her son wouldn't lie, and her heart pounded. She turned to him and asked, "Is what you said true? Is Xiao Yang your daughter?"
If the situation weren't so unsuitable, Mr. Shen would have rolled his eyes: "You're going crazy with him too. You witnessed Xiao Yang's birth and personally arranged her marriage with her mother. Do you think I would let my son be with my own daughter? I'm not crazy!"
Jing's mother stopped crying instantly. "Yes, Xiao Yang is Yan Lan and Lu Chen's child. We adopted her after they both died."
Jing Chenguang stopped crying instantly: "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
Just as Jing's mother was about to speak, her husband stopped her.
Jing's father looked at him: "You have truly disappointed me. Since you heard everything, why don't you come and confront me?"
Jing Chenguang bit his lip, trembling for a long while before finally saying, "I'm scared."
If all of this is true, then there will truly be no possibility for them anymore...
"Then why aren't you afraid now?"
Jing's father was so angry by his words that he almost had a stroke. He grabbed the thermos cup next to him and smashed it hard. This time, the blow hit him very accurately, drawing blood from his forehead.
Jing's mother was startled and rushed over to check on her son: "Chenguang, are you alright?" She then complained to her husband: "Just talk to me, why did you have to hit me?!"
Jing Chenguang grabbed her hand, only wanting to know the truth: "Mom, you just said whose child is my sister? Isn't she Dad's daughter?"
Jing Chenguang's words successfully angered his elderly father, who snorted heavily and stormed out.
Jing's mother's hand trembled slightly, but she still decided to deal with her son first.
"Xiao Yang's parents came from very different families. Although they loved each other, their relationship was opposed by the Lu family. Her father was in a car accident on the way back after being arrested. Her mother was a very weak woman who was devastated and died after giving birth to Xiao Yang. The violin you loved most when you were little was a gift from her..."
...
Jing Chenguang sat by his sister's hospital bed. She lay there quietly, her hair reaching her waist, looking just like Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale, so vibrant that she seemed ready to wake up at any moment.
He held her hand to his lips, tears streaming down his face: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yang, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, please wake up..."
-
That night, Jing Chenguang dreamed of the beautiful aunt who had held little Wei Yang when he was very, very young.
The aunt asked him, "Brother Chenguang, do you like your little sister? How about she becomes your wife when she grows up?"
The little boy replied, "Okay! I love my little sister, and I will always protect her!"
When he opened his eyes again, tears streamed down his face.
His little girl was lost forever...
