âGot it,â Yi Hanyue said as she got up and walked over to Fang Xiaocheng. She threw a dirty look at Fang Xiaocheng, then took Yi Beiâs hand and led him out.
Yi Bei did not want to go out with his aunt and tried to break free from her grip. Yi Hanyue frowned. âWho does this child look like? Why is she so disobedient?â
Fang Xiaocheng persuaded her son. âBeibei, listen to your aunt. Go out for a while and come back later.â
Little Yi Bei finally obeyed and followed Yi Hanyue out the door.
Only Fang Xiaocheng and the two elders were left in the room. Fang Xiaocheng walked in and asked, âMom, whatâs wrong? Did something happen at home?â
âWhat do you think happened? How dare you ask me!â
Her mother-in-law stood up and stared at her. She asked angrily, âTell me honestly, whose child is Yi Bei?â
Hearing her mother-in-lawâs question, Fang Xiaocheng felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her heart.
Could it be because of Yi Bei?
Fang Xiaocheng would not admit it immediately. âMom, Yi Bei is my child with Yi Xiao...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before she could finish her words, her mother-in-law gave her a hard slap and pointed at her nose, scolding, âYou shameless bitch! To think that Iâve treated you like my own daughter all these years. But look at you, you went behind Yi Xiaoâs back and got pregnant with someone elseâs child. You pretended to be the child of our Old Yi family. How could you do such a thing!â
âMom, let me explain...â
âWhat else is there to explain? I didnât notice anything when Beibei was young, but now that heâs grown up, heâs becoming less and less like a member of the Yi family. Whether itâs his facial features or his personality, they donât look alike at all. When I brought him out, everyone said that your grandson and your son didnât look alike at all. I even scolded him back then. Later on, there were more and more people talking about it, so I thought that something was wrong. Thatâs why I got Han Yue to do a test on Yi Xiao and Beibei. This is the result! See for yourself! How long do you want to hide it from us?â
Her mother-in-law threw the report at Fang Xiaochengâs face and sat down on the sofa angrily.
Fang Xiaocheng looked at her angry mother-in-law and then at her silent father-in-law. Her father-in-law was usually afraid of her mother-in-law. Even if they quarreled now, he would not interfere.
Fang Xiaocheng did not expect her father-in-law to help her say anything. She knew that there would come a day when the paper could not cover up the fire. Now that the evidence was in front of her, she did not intend to continue lying to her parents.
âDad, Mom, Iâm sorry. Itâs true that Beibei is not Yi Xiaoâs child. Iâve lied to you. Iâm sorry. For the past five years, youâve treated Beibei like your own grandson. Iâve always wanted to muster up the courage to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that you would no longer love Beibei after knowing the truth. Iâm also very conflicted. I was wrong in this matter. Iâm sorry!â
Other than a sincere apology, Fang Xiaocheng did not know what else to do.
âWhatâs the use of apologizing? Itâs been five years! If it wasnât for you, my son wouldnât have been made a cuckold. He treated Beibei like his precious treasure, but what happened to him in the end?
âThe child is not even his own. How could he be wronged? If it wasnât for you, I would have let him take the girl from his hometown back then, he might have had two children in five years. Our Yi family wouldnât be without a child now! Donât you feel guilty!â
Her mother-in-law was so angry that tears kept falling from her eyes. Fang Xiaocheng was also in tears.
She knew that she had misled Yi Xiao, but what could she do now?
