Shen Feng Xing then asked a question that broke the silence in the room.
"Does she hate the Xiao family that"s why she never returned after she found out about her birth?"
"No. She just wants to keep everyone safe. Although she never returned, she always paid attention to whatever that you all were doing. We have all been watching over you guys from afar, and that is how we can keep you guys protected from Shen Nan Kun and the others. That was also how we were able to find out about Grandfather Xiao"s condition quickly."
When Shen Feng Xing heard what Jing Mo Chen said, he suddenly remembered the people that offered them Blue Sky Apartment.
"Are you all the one that sold Blue Sky Apartment to us?"
"Mm. That"s the only safe place that we could put you guys in without exposing her ident.i.ty."
Shen Feng Xing then looked at Jing Mo Chen and mumbled.
"So, I am truly grandfather and grandmother"s grandchild… Why is it that they don"t know about my existence? Why is it that no one knew about me being the biological descendant of the Xiao family? Where is my mother?"
Shen Feng Xing didn"t know why but he suddenly felt very calm when he heard that he was the biological grandchild of Xiao Rong Yao and Song Qiao. Perhaps it was just that because he had always seen the two elders as his own grandparents. Hence, it didn"t matter whether or not he was their biological grandchild.
However, there were still many questions that Shen Feng Xing had in mind, and there were many things that he wanted to know. Shen Feng Xing was slightly afraid to hear that he was an unwanted child of the Xiao family or that he was abandoned because he would bring bad luck to the Xiao family as that was how he felt at the moment.
"Well, this is just a guessing that we made, but we believe that your parents could have dated in secret. According to how Grandfather Xiao and Grandmother Xiao reacted when Aunt Lan Xi rejected the arranged marriage to the Lu family, we think that your parents were afraid to let them know about the fact that they are dating. It could be because your mother isn"t from a rich family, and so they were even more worried about letting others know. Moreover, Uncle Lan Ke had been very well known in the politics at that time, and if others were to know that his wife to be wasn"t from a well to do family, people would turn against him. More importantly, we believe that Uncle Lan Ke was afraid that people would hurt your mother if the news of them being together wasn"t brought up at the right time. However, he never got the chance to tell others because he was involved in the accident, and he might have told your mother to keep you away from Xiao family to protect you."
"Uncle Lan Ke might have guessed or sensed that there was something wrong in the Xiao family. Perhaps he found out that something was wrong with Xiao Lan Yu, and he couldn"t confirm what it was or he was still in the midst of finding out when he met an accident. Hence, he didn"t want to put you in danger by letting your mother bring you to the Xiao family and let your grandparents acknowledge you. However, all of these are just our guessing. The only way we can find out the truth is if we find your mother. We don"t know who your mother is, and we need you to give us clues to help you find her."
"Clues… Before I was adopted, I stayed at an orphanage in the countryside."
"We know about that. However, we think that there is not useful because if your parents truly wanted to protect you, they would not put you near them. Meaning to say, the orphanage is probably very far from where your mother was."
Shen Feng Xing thought hard and finally remembered something, "The director of the orphanage that I stayed in said that I had a jade pendant around my neck when they found me outside the orphanage. She said that that jade pendant could be left my parents to help look for me in the future. I kept the jade pendant with me ever since I was young because I wanted to see if it could help me find my biological parents. It is at Blue Sky Apartment now!"
"Bring it to us the next time you come over, and we could see where it was from and everything else about it. That way, we should be able to find out more about your parents, and we should be able to know what was going on."
"Mm!"
Shen Feng Xing then kept quiet for a moment while he thought of something.
After a moment of silence, Shen Feng Xing spoke again.
Shen Feng Xing asked with a tinge of nervousness in his voice, "How does she know I am trustable?"
Shen Feng Xing was worried that perhaps that Mo Xi doesn"t even trust him, and she told him all these because she wanted to keep an eye on him.
"You two met before, even though she had another ident.i.ty then."
"…" Shen Feng Xing looked at Jing Mo Chen with a confused look.
Jing Mo Chen"s phone rang, and Feng Rui said that Mo Xi had arrived.
Jing Mo Chen smiled, "She is here."
Shen Feng Xing tensed up when he heard Jing Mo Chen"s words because he didn"t know how to face Mo Xi.
Was he supposed to be serious around her since it is their first meeting?
Was he supposed to be very casual around her since they are blood-related?
Was he supposed to speak first since he was older?
Should he ask him how she has been doing?
Should he give her a big hug?
Should he ask her if she was really his cousin?
