Chapter 280: Acknowledging the Ancestors
It was another sunny weekend. Chen Li’s body had recovered more than half after a few days of rest.
The door of Yung Gang’s family was knocked on urgently again.
“Come in.” Yun Qiao ran out to open the door after hearing the sound.
The person outside the door was Yun Lian.
“Why are you here?”
!!
Yun Qiao was also quite surprised when she saw this face.
It turned out that Yun Lian had heard all the news at school. She learned that Yun Gang had gone out to gamble and owed a huge sum of money to his family. She even knew that Yun Gang had sold her out. However, she had been left in the cla.s.sroom by the teacher for a talk that day, so her sister, who looked eighty to ninety percent similar to her, had been mistaken and taken away.
Yun Lian was in a terrible mood now.
She also did not expect that Yun Gang and Chen Li would still scheme on her in order to protect her only son.
Although she was not their biological daughter, they had been together for 18 years. How could they not have any feelings at all?!
Why did they have to treat her so cruelly?
She thought for a long time and her heart was filled with resentment. In the end, she decided that in order to protect herself, she had to return to her biological parents. Although they had differences, they were still her biological parents. No matter what happened, they would definitely not sell her to the human traffickers.
Thus, she came.
“Yun Lian is here. May I ask what you want?” Chen Li saw Yun Lian standing at the door and her tone was very distant.
“Mom, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“Mom, I don’t want to stay at uncle’s house anymore. I’m afraid that my life is in danger. Please acknowledge me as your daughter again! I can serve you guys like a cow or a horse in this house. I just want this house to accept me again.” Yun Lian’s eyes turned red as she said this.
“Ah… We can’t make the decision ourselves. It’s better to wait for big brother and sister-in-law to speak before we dare to welcome you back into the family. Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain it to them.”
Once bitten, twice shy, so Chen Li was afraid that something like her miscarriage would happen a second time. Therefore, facing her own daughter, Yun Lian did not dare to immediately agree to her request.
Yun Lian’s face darkened a little when she heard her mother’s words, but there was still a look of unwillingness on her face.
Chen Li also sighed when she saw Yun Lian.
She originally thought that she had sent Yun Lian to Yun Gang’s so she could enjoy her life, but who would have thought that after all these years, the structure of their family had undergone an earth-shattering change, and Yun Lian had become the most miserable existence.
“Please, mom. If you don’t recognize me, I might not be able to live on. I don’t believe that a person who is addicted to gambling will quit gambling so quickly. If uncle loses in gambling again, I might become someone else’s fish on the chopping block.”
Seeing Chen Li’s hesitation, Yun Lian continued to cry, “Mom, please, on account that I’m your biological daughter, can you help me this time? I’m begging you.”
Yun Qiao’s heart softened a little when he saw Yun Lian’s sobbing face. However, he could not speak carelessly at this time. After all, this was someone else’s family matter, and it was not appropriate for him to interfere.
Chen Li also felt a wave of frustration. She had just lost a child, and now she was very distressed for her daughter. If she really brought her daughter home, it might be able to save her life. However, if she really brought her back, how would she explain it to Yun Xi?
She had always been aware of the relationship between the two of them. There was only so much s.p.a.ce in the house, and Yun Xi would definitely not be willing to share a room with her. She could not stay in the master bedroom either. Firstly, she was recuperating in the master bedroom, and secondly, Yun Yang was also in the master bedroom.
It was even more impossible for her to share a room with Yun Qiao. After all, even if they were related by blood, it would not sound good if word got out that a man and woman were in the same room.
Now, she was in a dilemma.
“Lianlian, mom can make you truly acknowledge your ancestors. However, you may still have to live in the school by yourself in the future. As for the matter of moving the household registration, I’ll have to wait for your dad to come back and bring you to Yun Gang’s family to talk to your uncle and aunt.”
Chen Li finally relented and gave in.
When Yun Lian heard that Chen Li had agreed to acknowledge her, her eyes lit up.
Even if she was not allowed to live in this house, she would accept it. The most important thing was to be able to save her own life.
