“Father-in-law!” This was the first time Jun Shiyan had defied him. “I love Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi. How can my woman and son have nothing to do with me?”
Nangong Lengyu thought for a moment before tugging at Huo Ci. “He’s not lying. On his mother’s death anniversaries, he would always stay in the manor to accompany her. He won’t go out. He’s done that for years. I know.”
If that really is the case, then what exactly had happened? How had Sheng Sheng gotten pregnant and given birth to Xiaoqi?
“So what?” Huo Ci sneered and pointed at Jun Shiyan. “Nangong Lengyu, tell me. Even if there’s a mastermind behind this, who even has the ability to steal a seed from him and plant it on Ling Sheng?”
Yes, in this era, if one wanted a woman to get pregnant, they didn’t necessarily have to have s.e.x—there was in vitro fertilization and surrogacy. As long as one could get a man’s seed and the woman’s body was healthy, there was no need to worry about not being able to get pregnant!
“Father-in-law, you’re right.” Jun Shiyan looked at him seriously. “I’ve been getting people to investigate this matter the whole time. It’s not completely impenetrable around me either. I also have servants and housekeepers at home.”
“Scram!” Huo Ci bellowed as he pointed at him and warned, “Who the f*ck is your father-in-law? Don’t indiscriminately address me as your father-in-law.”
Before this matter was investigated clearly, he definitely wouldn’t acknowledge him! Even if that d.a.m.n brat was willing, he wasn’t! No, they simply couldn’t be together. He wouldn’t agree!
When Ling Sheng received the call, she was warming up and preparing to start training. It was her grandma who had called and asked her to make a trip home. Her grandma didn’t tell her what was going on even when she asked. She only said that she would know when she got home.
Su Xiyin was waiting for Ling Sheng right at the door. When the elevator opened, she hurried over and pulled her out. “Sheng Sheng, don’t say anything later. Don’t side with him, understand?”
This child Sheng Sheng really loved Third Master Jun dearly. She didn’t know what kind of drug that b*stard had drugged her with either to make her dear granddaughter fall so head over heels for him.
Ling Sheng did not understand what she meant. Why did it seem like this was a very grave matter? “Grandma, what happened?”
“Xiaoqi’s biological father is Third Master Jun.” Su Xiyin had come to give her a heads-up. If she was unwilling to enter, she would take her away immediately. It would be good to go back to the Huo residence too. She could go anywhere.
However, when she finished speaking, she did not discover any shocked expression from her dear granddaughter. Instead, she was very calm, as though she had known all along.
“Sheng Sheng?” Su Xiyin became baffled. According to Third Master Jun’s statement, Sheng Sheng wasn’t aware.
“Grandma, I already knew.” Ling Sheng knew. When she had transmigrated back in time and met the Third Master of that period, she figured out that Xiaoqi was her and the Third Master’s child. He was their child, their biological child. He had been born after they had made love.
As for those unbearable memories of the original owner of the body, they were nothing more than the original author’s setting. She had not regained her memory, so she only remembered the consciousness the author had forced on the character.
“When did you find out?” Su Xiyin was angry and shocked. She reached out to smack her, feeling panicked. “You! Why didn’t you tell the family after you knew about it? Exactly what happened between the two of you?!”
From the looks of it, that sc.u.mbag Third Master Jun was still lying! Both he and Sheng Sheng already knew about it. He had probably taken on all the blame alone to prevent Sheng Sheng from being scolded so that she was absolved of the responsibility!
Ling Sheng didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t possibly say that she had only found out after she had transmigrated into the past. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make and the more convoluted the explanation would get. Hence, she decided not to say anything.
The atmosphere in the living room was indescribably heavy. The moment she stepped through the door, there was even a sense that it was difficult to breathe.
Huo Xiao’s face was ashen from anger. Upon seeing Ling Sheng walk over, he did not reveal a smile for the first time. He looked so somber that he was a little scary. He called out to her, “What are you standing there for?”
Jun Shiyan knew that Grandma had been waiting outside to tell the young lady what had happened ahead of the discussion. However, the young lady’s expression was very calm, so calm that it made him feel very strange. Especially as he remembered the pain and despair she had felt when she had told him about that unbearable incident.
Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened like the bottom of a pot, and his whole body emitted a dangerous aura that made one’s heart palpitate. He swept a look over Ling Sheng, also feeling a little strange inwardly.
What the h.e.l.l kind of expression was on this d.a.m.n brat’s face?! Had this been her expression ever since she had found out that sc.u.mbag Jun was Xiaoqi’s biological father?
F*ck, he had rushed back overnight. He was angry, outraged, and wished he could kill b*stard Jun to take revenge for her. In the end, she was acting so indifferent like she had accepted it?
Initially, Nangong Lengyu was immensely distressed, but when she saw her daughter’s expression, she didn’t look like she hated Ah Yan at all. If what Ah Yan had speculated was true, she should not hate him indeed. However, when had she found out?
How many secrets were the two of them still hiding from them? When she thought of this, she could not help but tremble in anger from head to toe.
Xiaoqi was shooed to the bedroom. He just stood at the door and looked outside secretly. He had heard a bit of stuff. His great-grandpa, great-grandma, and grandparents had said that Dad was his biological father.
His great-grandpa had nearly beaten his dad too. Even his great-grandma, who had always been nice to his dad and helped him all the time, wasn’t on his side anymore.
Now that Mommy was also back, the expressions on Grandpa and the others’ faces became even stranger. Looking at them made him a little scared. Grandpa would definitely scold Mommy. Will he hit Mommy?!
Huo Ci saw a small head leaning close to the door. He did not know how much he had heard either, but he frowned. “What are you looking at? What does this have to do with you? Hurry up and go back into the room!”
Xiaoqi’s small head shrank back as he hurriedly made to close the door.
“I’ll go and keep Xiaoqi company.” Upon seeing the child retreat, Su Xiyin was worried that he would be bored being alone and eavesdrop again. She didn’t know how much he had understood. For some matters, it was fine as long as the child knew the outcome. He should not know about the process.
Xiaoqi played with the building blocks casually, his big eyes looking at Su Xiyin as he asked carefully, “Great-grandma, is Xiaoqi’s biological father really Uncle Jun?”
Upon hearing the child deliberately address him as Uncle Jun, Su Xiyin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “Does Xiaoqi like Uncle Jun?”
Xiaoqi hesitated for a long time before shaking his head and mumbling in a soft voice, “I don’t like him.”
Upon seeing the obvious disappointment flash across the child’s eyes, Su Xiyin felt that it was a little strange. Xiaoqi liked Third Master Jun the most. He should be happy to know that he was his biological father. “Then, why doesn’t Xiaoqi like him?”
“Dad didn’t want Mommy. He didn’t want Xiaoqi..” Although Xiaoqi was a child, those strange gazes in his memory and when the other children chased after him, calling him a wild child, made him feel miserable.
