An Jinran vaguely guessed based on intuition: "Has my father already known your identity?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know!" When he said he didn't know, the guy's eyes flickered slightly, and An Jinran could clearly feel that the other person was lying.
Frowning, An Jinran became more and more suspicious: "Yan Yu, I want to hear the truth. We have already reached this point, do you still need to hide it from me?"
The expression on Yan Yu's face was very calm, but he could still feel his struggle: "I'm sorry, it's really inconvenient for me to disclose some issues involving police secrets. I only know that what Dad hopes most is that you can talk to Mom.
Live a peaceful life. Don’t choose the wrong path in the future for so-called responsibility or revenge.”
Then, his eyes fell on her abdomen: "As for the child, if you really don't want it, I respect your decision. Take good care of yourself, I'll leave first."
"Wait a moment."
An Jinran stopped speaking again, and a hint of complexity flashed across her face as she said, "I have one last question. Is it because you knew that such a day would come, that's why you were so opposed to me keeping this child?
"
"A little, but not entirely. I know that after my identity is exposed, you may be angry with me and blame me, but I have never thought about asking you to give up our child because of this."
"Why is that?"
"Because I don't want you to repeat the tragedy of more than 20 years ago, and I don't want you to lose your life because of giving birth to a child. Twenty-four years ago, there was a woman who was as stupid as you. She knew she couldn't have a child, but she still...
She insisted on giving birth to the child. She thought that this would make the man remember her. But the fact was that the man did remember her for a while, but what happened after that? He just continued to live his own life. But that woman...
At the cost of life, we recorded a period of time that was once absurd."
"That child you are talking about?" An Jinran had a hunch that he would not mention something without reason.
But she didn't expect that the answer would be...
"That's me." Yan Yu's voice was very calm, without too many ups and downs. It was more like saying something that had nothing to do with him.
"I am not my mother's biological child, but my father's child with a woman outside. But my father concealed this matter for the sake of his reputation, and even took me home and gave me to my current mother to raise.
.”
"But, with your mother's temperament, how could she agree?" She had met Ling Muyuan several times, and he was definitely not a master who would swallow his anger and submit.
"This is the tragedy of being born into a big family. The so-called prosperity and loss, sometimes it is not up to you whether you want to or not, but you have to do it. What's more, my biological mother is dead, and she has no way to care about it.
There may have been a period of dissatisfaction, but it gradually passed."
"But I see your mother treats you..."
It's not like ordinary stepmothers who are jealous and mean to their illegitimate children. Although Ling Muyuan was a little harsher on him and a little more hateful, it was obvious that she still really cared about him and was doing his best.
.Otherwise, you can just indulge him, ignore him, and let him fend for himself.
"That's right, she has indeed treated me as her own son over the years. Some of this was out of necessity, but seven of it was out of true love."
