Chapter 376: Who Knows If The Test You Did Was Real?
“Yifeng, what is going on? Explain yourself.”
Mama Xu was really confused. How could the matter be connected to Xu Yihong? What was Jing Yun trying to say?”
“Xu Yifeng. How have I wronged you that you would slander me like this…”
Meanwhile, Xu Yihong, unsure about what Jing Yun actually knew quickly decided to use Mama Xu. “Mom, you should make the call on this matter.”
“Feng’er, what are you thinking? He is your eldest brother in the end—how could you act like he’s an enemy?” Mama Xu asked again, becoming ever uncomfortable.
“Feng’er, tell us what is going on right now!” Papa Xu barked at Jing Yun as well. After all, it had been just a few days that Jing Yun had returned to the Xu family, whereas Xu Yihong had been living with the Xu couple for years. It only made sense that they were biased towards Xu Yihong.
It was human nature, which was why Jing Yun did not take offense with his parents’ reaction.
“Before getting to that answer, something must be made clear before that… and that is who is Xu Yihong’s actual father.”
Those words left both Xu Yihong and the Xu couple in shock.
“Feng’er, are you mad? He’s a child I carried for ten months. How could that be falsified?” Mama Xu promptly protested.
Jing Yun leveled his eyes at Xu Yihong, who returned the favor.
“That’s not what I mean, Mom. It is true that you gave birth to Brother after carrying him for ten months, but…”
“Then you’re saying, I went behind your father’s back…”
“Mom, back when you gave birth to my brother, another person’s lover had given birth in the same hospital. My real brother was switched since then.”
Jing Yun explained for Mama Xu, before turning to Xu Yihong. “Isn’t that right, Brother?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Xu Yihong naturally would not admit the truth.
“I’m getting even more confused, Feng’er. You have to explain it right now.” It turns out that even someone as mild as Mama Xu could not bear with Jing Yun keeping them in suspense.
“Xu Yifeng, could you be trying to harm your own brother for the family’s wealth?
“You must have learned how to plot and wrangle after following Huang Yao’s Crown Prince around for years.
“I just didn’t expect that the first one you would go for is me.”
“I’ve told you before. I would definitely find out who abandoned me at Jianchuan.” Jing Yun told the other three very calmly. “Mom, Dad. The eldest son you are looking at is actually a lovechild of Eldest Uncle and his mistress. My real brother had died just a few years old after being switched places.”
Mama Xu stumbled two steps behind in shock at Jing Yun’s words.
“That’s… impossible…”
“Haha… Xu Yifeng, you really know how to tell a story.” Xu Yihong, on the other hand, found the matter laughable. “I could only imagine how many ways you had come up with to take control of our family over these last few days.”
“Whether it’s real would be known after a test. Why would I risk myself accusing you otherwise?” Jing Yun asked in return.
“You could choose to not admit it, but I have evidence: the hospital’s labor record of Eldest Uncle’s mistress. As for who you are, it would be clear if you did a DNA test with Dad. In fact, I inadvertently found about your relations.h.i.+p with Eldest Uncle when I’m only trying to uncover the culprit who abandoned me.”
Papa Xu couldn’t help turning to Xu Yihong at that. “…Is that true?”
“Dad, don’t you trust me after I’ve stayed with the Xu family for years? Compared to that, how many days has it been since Yifeng returned?” Xu Yihong exclaimed, promptly playing the kins.h.i.+p card.
“Whatever you say, Brother. In fact, I have a bold theory after learning about truth—back when Dad and Eldest Uncle were fighting for control, why would you fly to the private island mansion before everyone else?
“I’ve suspected that Eldest Uncle was the one who abducted me, but since he was fighting with Dad, I should have been used as leverage if he was the one who got to me. So why would I be abandoned instead?
“That question bothered me for a long time, but I understood everything when I uncovered the connection between Eldest Uncle and Xu Yihong.
“If I am not here, he would be the natural heir, and would that not mean Eldest Uncle succeeded in taking control? That is why Xu Yihong took me to Jianchuan and left me there, and Eldest Uncle did not bother our family ever since then because he is carefully helping Xu Yihong to succeed.
“And why aren’t you married even now that you’re in your forties, Brother?
“That is simple too. Your blood type doesn’t match our parents, so if you get married and had a child, that little fact could easily be exposed. That is why you have been staying on your toes.
“Does this make things clear?”
Xu Yihong couldn’t help clapping for Jing Yun when he was finished. “I really couldn’t have told that not only are you impressively talented, you are an extraordinary storyteller too.”
“Do you even have evidence to back up all that you’ve said?”
“Then why don’t you tell me this: are you eldest uncle’s biological son?” Jing Yun did not back down and asked in return.
“I’m our parents’ child, of course.”
“So you’re that confident.” Jing Yun couldn’t help smiling. “You might not know this, Brother, but I’ve done a DNA test when you’re not looking. It confirms that we’re just cousins.”
“Who knows if the test you did was real?” Xu Yihong shot back, refusing to cave in.
“That’s fine. We can test any more times you want.” Jing Yun replied. “I’m just telling you that don’t think you could run away now that you’ve tried to hurt me.”
“We’ll see.” With that, Xu Yihong remained outside the operation room, waiting for Eldest Uncle’s surgery to be finished.
Meanwhile, the Xu couple was utterly thrown off-balance.
They simply don’t know who to trust now, and could only stand awkwardly outside the door as well.
But unable to help herself, Mama Xu eventually pulled Jing Yun aside and asked, “That joke of yours is too serious. How could you hurt your own brother like that?”
“Mom, if you pulled me aside, doesn’t that mean you have your suspicions?”
Mama Xu said nothing.
After all, she had combed around the airport for a very long time when she lost Jing Yun, and was reduced to a shadow of herself. Later, when she returned to the island mansion, she found some clothes that Xu Yihong never wore in his room when she was straightening his wardrobe.
Moreover, Jing Yun was not actually that young back then. How could he have simply followed a stranger?
That is, unless it was a person he knew and trusted in.
“I’ll naturally get to the bottom of this matter with your father.”
“Yes, but act quickly, or Xu Yihong would have hollowed out the internal structure of Xu Holdings…”
Jing Yun could not help smiling lightly just then.
As a matter of fact, that was the first time Mama Xu saw him smile.
