Chapter 137
137 Indeed, the child was brought home by mistake
Looking at the person who was crying opposite her, Yu Xi did not feel good either.
House Xuan was one of the capital’s top clans, so the eldest daughter of house Xuan was naturally a high-spirited figure. after all, he was someone who could win the heart of someone like his big brother, so how bad could he be?
She still remembered hearing people mention the eldest daughter of the Xuan family. They said that she was second sister-in-law’s College classmate and was even more popular than second sister-in-law in school.
looking at him now, he was only forty-six years old, but he looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.
His face was Haggard, and his body was thin and even a little hunched.
if it weren’t for the fact that there was still a shadow of the past in her eyes, yu xi would have suspected that she had recognized the wrong person.
at this moment, there was not a single trace of her former high-spirited self. for 19 years, the pain of losing one’s true love and living in hiding every day had forced her to this state.
in the end, she had become like this because of the yu family.
she was crying silently, and yu xi did not disturb her. he stood there quietly and waited for her to stop crying. he wiped his tears and said to him, ” “i’ve embarrassed myself. let’s talk inside.”
she said this with a smile, probably because she was thinking of yu xi from back then. in her memory, yu xi was still a child, and she realized that it was somewhat inappropriate to cry like this in front of a child.
However, she might as well not smile.
His smile was even more mournful.
xuan liuying stopped the tricycle and invited yu xi into the house.
it was already a dark and damp old building in a dark alley. the house that xuan liuying rented was on the first floor, making it even darker and damp.
as they walked in, yu xi could smell a musty smell caused by the humidity.
he used the faint light of the corridor to look at xuan liuying who was walking in front, his expression very complicated.
how could a person born with a silver spoon in her mouth endure this kind of suffering?
she could just leave the child to the su family or send him back to the xuan family. she was the only daughter of the xuan family. as long as she was willing to go back, the xuan family wouldn’t leave her alone. Without the children of the Yu family as a burden and with the backing of the Xuan family, her enemies would not find trouble with her.
The child she had brought up was not a good one. On the contrary, he was a hideous one. However, she could not bear to abandon him because he was the bloodline left behind by her big brother. She even blamed herself for not raising the child well.
She didn’t even think about how the high-spirited miss Xuan at Capital University had even convinced the second daughter of the SU family to become her good friend. How could she not teach a child well? it was just that the child was selfish by nature, and no matter how he was taught, it would be in vain.
however, when she was young, she would scold and discipline her child. when she grew up, seeing that she was more and more distant from her, she began to blame herself and panic. she no longer scolded her and indulged her everywhere.
perhaps it was because her temper and edges had been smoothed out over the years, or perhaps it was because that child was the only thing she missed, the only connection she had with her deceased love. she was afraid that she would be alienated from him and lose even this one connection, so she scolded the child less and indulged him more.
Why did she have to do that? she clearly knew that if her big brother was still alive, he would not have indulged in her child’s twisted appearance like she did.
Xuan Liuying took out a key and opened the door. the environment here is a little bad. I’m sorry.
yu xi looked into the room, but didn’t say anything.
“Please come in,” Xuan Liuying said.
it was a very narrow room.
one bedroom and one living room.
the living room and kitchen were very narrow, and there was only a small bathroom. there was a curtain in the corner of the living room and a bed. the door of the room was closed, and nothing could be seen.
Although it was tidied up, it was still a little awkward.
Not to mention Yuxi, even people who were living a better life would only think of one word when they saw such a living environment: poor!
the house was cramped and the facilities were old.
“please take a seat. i’ll make you a cup of tea.”
Yu Xi sat down on the old sofa that had been damaged.
He didn’t interrupt her from making him tea.
It was a cheap tea made from a disposable cup. Yu Xi thanked him and took it, taking a sip.
Xuan Liuying also sat down at the side.
He looked at Yu Xi.
She couldn’t help but be in a daze.
he was as outstanding as his two elder brothers, and even though his temperament was different from his big brother and second brother, he was also a dragon among people. Sitting in this cramped and old environment, drinking cheap tea, did not affect his temperament at all.
Xuan Liuying only spoke after Yu Xi took a sip of tea and put down the cup to look at her.
“You’re back, aren’t you Yingluo?”
the voice stopped abruptly.
Xuan Liuying did not continue asking.
There was hatred in his eyes. It was hatred for his enemies.
she had a lot of questions to ask, but she also knew that yu xi was a child outside, and his life must be very difficult. if she asked again, it would undoubtedly remind him of the sad things in the past and the hardships he had suffered all these years.
So she stopped talking.
however, yu xi still continued her words,”yes, it’s all been dealt with. you don’t have to hide anymore.” young miss xuan, you’ve suffered because of the yu family all these years.”
xuan liuying’s eyes reddened again, but after breaking down and crying, she did not cry in front of yu xi. she only said with red eyes,”that’s good, that’s good, yingluo.”
I don’t care what happens to me, but I’m happy to be able to get rid of those people and avenge your brother. I’ve dreamed of killing those people, but my ability is limited. I still have my daughter to take care of. I can’t do anything, Yingluo.
“I’m very happy that you can do it.”
she glanced at the shabby house and continued, ” “there’s no need to hide, and my daughter won’t have to live such a life with me anymore.”
” i blame myself every day. if it wasn’t for my incompetence and inability to guarantee that i could protect her when those people came looking for her, she wouldn’t have to follow me and live in hiding. ”
“miss xuan, zhenzhen.”
Yu Xi wanted to say something to comfort her, but when the words reached his mouth, he did not know what to say.
he wasn’t a person who was good with words.
Xuan Liuying looked at him,”Yu Xi, don’t keep calling me miss Xuan. Call me sister-in-law.” It’s only one day away, just one day away, and I’ll be going to register our marriage with your big brother. We’ve already made a deal, but the heavens aren’t even willing to give me one more day.”
she didn’t cry, but tears fell from her eyes.
one drop after another.
Yu Xi’s heart felt uncomfortable as she watched.
“sister-in-law.” in the end, he still agreed to her request.
perhaps he wanted to divert her attention, or perhaps he wanted to make things clear as soon as possible, yu xi said directly, ” “Sister-in-law, do you think that your daughter is similar to big brother?”
xuan liuying suddenly looked up at him,”what do you mean?” you think i betrayed your big brother?”
yu xi didn’t expect her to have such a reaction, and she was stunned for a moment.
“……”
fortunately, he had a calm personality, and his tone was still calm.”No, I can see the affection between you and big brother. i’m asking you seriously, do you think the daughter you’re raising is like my brother?”
xuan liuying looked at him blankly. ” you … what do you mean by ‘huanhuan’? ” she asked.
“It seems like sister-in-law doesn’t think she resembles my big brother at all. She’s indeed not my big brother’s child.”
xuan liuying’s pupils trembled, but she tried to remain calm.”w-what do you mean? my, my own child can’t be fake? or … or did you carry the wrong child in the hospital back then?”
“Not bad, you carried the wrong one.” compared to xuan liuying, yu xi was much calmer.
“What about my child? where’s my child with your brother? Since you’ve found out that the child was carried home by mistake, you’ve come to tell me that you’ve also found out the whereabouts of the child?”
Xuan Liuying was so excited that she even knocked over the cup of water beside her.
“Yes, it’s been investigated.”
“What about my daughter? where’s my daughter with your brother? Where is she?”
” she’s the daughter of the jiang family in haicheng. her name is jiang rui. she was high school classmates with xuan wanrou, whom you’ve raised. you might have met her before. ”
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.
Yu Xi suddenly raised her head and looked over, her eyes slightly sharp.”Who is it?”
Perhaps she was in a daze, Xuan Liuying did not close the door properly and left it ajar. through the unlocked door, they saw a cat running past.
xuan liuying suppressed the shock of suddenly finding out that her daughter was carried by mistake and said,”We’re the only family living on this floor, and wanrou is having military training at school, so there won’t be many people here.”
“did you just say that the girl named jiang rui from the jiang family in haicheng is the daughter of your brother and i?” she asked after a long pause.
“not bad.”
“I’ve seen that child before.”
xuan liuying finally couldn’t help but cover her face and cry,”i knew it, how could your big brother’s child be like this yingluo i thought i didn’t let your big brother down at all but in the end, i almost lost his only flesh and blood yingluo.”
he was already somewhat incoherent.
and outside the door, a person ran out from the narrow and dark corridor.
