Chapter 69: Blood Relatives
Since the day I woke up, Chen Mo has never entered my ward, but he will call to greet me every day. I knew he was blaming himself for not being able to face me directly. Another thing is that he has been really busy recently, Su Ye said that he was also a little anxious about dealing with Xiao Lin's affairs, Xiao Lin's parents put pressure on Chen Mo's family to let Chen Mo let Xiao Lin go, but Chen Mo did not compromise, gritted his teeth to completely defeat her, but even so, the power of Xiao Lin's family should not be underestimated after all, especially when it comes to the issue that his child is about to face prison, it is even more crazy to find pressure from all parties involved, Su Ye represented Quan Yu's grandfather everywhere, fighting side by side with Chen Mo, and the result is developing in the direction we wantγ
In fact, Su Ye has been very busy recently, in addition to being busy with Xiao Lin's affairs and work affairs, he also has to take care of his girlfriend in Japan, as well as me and Quan Yu.
I wonder how Su Ye could have any connection with Quan Yu. But since I got to know him, I felt that he had many incomprehensible feelings, and he had always been so mysterious. For example, he never mentioned his parents, for example, he already owned his own company at such a young age, and had a lot of financial resources, for example, why did he help me so much and love me who was not related by blood, and this kind of care, without any distractions, was simply like he said: I am a sister.
The days of lying in bed every day and not being able to do anything were very difficult, and I wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, but Su Ye was strongly opposed every time, and it was not until I repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that I could be discharged from the hospital before agreeing to my request.
I'm going to pack up and go back to where I used to live with Kwon Yu. But Su Ye didn't agree, and asked me to move in with him. I've been tossing him for so long and I can't bear to bother him anymore, my previous residence has not been retreated, the house is empty anyway, I want to move back, the most important thing is that there are so many memories of me and Quan Yu, living in it, just like Quan Yu is still by my side all the time.
So I directly rejected him: "Su Ye, for so many years, I have been taken care of by you too much. I really can't bother you anymore, and besides, it's not appropriate for us to live together. Being known by your girlfriend can also cause unnecessary trouble. I really appreciate the kindness. β
Su Ye suddenly said to me seriously: "Zhen Rou, you won't have any inconvenience when you go to me." It is also natural for an elder brother to take care of his own sister. My girlfriend wouldn't mind such a trivial matter. β
I have heard these words many times, but every time he said it again, I was still very moved, and said very gratefully: "I don't know which life to cultivate the convincing, when I was most unlucky, you always came down like a god to save me, and a rescue is so many years, I am really very grateful that you can look down on me as an ordinary girl, treat me as your own sister, every time I am most helpless, as long as I talk to you, you always rush to the front for me." For so many years, I have never helped you anything, just blindly accepted your help, which is very unfair, I really can't continue to trouble you anymore. β
Su Ye touched my hair and whispered, "Zhen Rou, it's not that I treat you as my own sister. Rather, you are my own sister, my own sister who is like a fake one. β
I sorted out the complicated thoughts in my mind and replied uncertainly, "What?"
Su Ye sat down and continued: "Your father and Quan Yu's mother did have a child. However, that kid is definitely not Quan Yu. It's me, I'm your half-brother with Quan Yu. β
I was speechless by his astonishment. Although I always wished to have an older brother, I also fantasized about how nice it would be if he were my own brother. But I never really thought that this dream could be realized, especially after so many years of fate never took into account my dream at all, even if the pie suddenly fell from the sky, it was still a pie wrapped in gold, and I couldn't bear it when it suddenly fell down, not to mention that it was my brother and Quan Yu, which was even more incredible.
It was so unreal that I couldn't help but ask again, "What are you talking about?"
"I come from a very remote mountainous area, and I knew at a very young age that I was an adopted child, and my parents never tried to hide this. For as long as I can remember, every year on my birthday, a beautiful man and woman would always come to visit me and bring me a lot of beautiful clothes, toys and delicious food, which my peers around me did not have, in such a remote mountainous area, these things that many people have never even seen. When I was younger, I really looked forward to my birthday, and I felt that I was the happiest child in the world every year. β
"People around me occasionally talk about it, but the people in my hometown are kind, and no one attacks me or laughs at me because of this. They didn't say it explicitly, but as I grew older, I began to understand that they were my biological parents. At that time, I didn't know what they were worried about, and they had to put their own children in the hands of others to raise. So when I got to the bottom of it, I started to resent them, and even though my adoptive parents treated me like their own, they made me feel like I had been an outcast. But even so, I still look forward to my birthday every year, I look forward to seeing them, and even on that day I look in the mirror repeatedly to make sure that I am not in the best state. At that time, I was really full of contradictions. β
Su Ye paused, and then said: "At that time, I thought, when I grow up and have the ability to fly out of that mountainous area by myself, I must find out why they abandoned me back then, and since they did, why do they come to visit me again on my birthday every year." Perhaps, I will be happier growing up under the protection of my adoptive parents who don't know anything. But day after day, I was looking forward to growing up soon, I studied hard, my grades were always the first in the school, and my learning ability amazed the teachers, and at that time I was thinking: all this proves that I am destined to be extraordinary, destined not to belong in this place. So, while I waited, I complained, waited for the day when I could spread my wings, and complained that they shouldn't have abandoned me sooner. β
Su Ye's tone paused, his face was sad, and he eased his emotions before continuing: "Until one year, I got up early in the morning, dressed in the most beautiful clothes, and even took out my certificate of award for the math competition in the county to show them, and my adoptive parents also made a table of dishes waiting for them to come over and celebrate their birthdays together. But from dawn to dark, we waited until dawn the next day, and they still did not come. I was really scared, thinking that maybe they were going to abandon me completely and never come back, and every day before I went to bed I thought: maybe they just had something to delay their trip? Maybe it would come tomorrow, and then as soon as I woke up the next day, I started to look forward and be afraid, expecting them to show up suddenly, afraid that they would never show up again. Then, how many days and nights I spent with constant disappointment and expectation. Later, I forced myself to accept the fact that they were indeed never going to come again. Later, the adoptive parents found out that they had a car accident and both left this world. β
I stood up suddenly, grabbed him and asked, "Su Ye, your birthday, but the sixth day of the third month?"
Su Yeqiang held back the mist in his eyes, paused for a long time, and nodded fiercely. The day of his father's death was the sixth day of the third month, that is, the day of his accident was to go with Quan Yu's mother to celebrate the birthday of this indebted son.
Su Ye continued: "Later, I figured out the whole ins and outs. Our father and my biological mother, who is Kwon Yu's biological mother, were originally a couple who loved each other very much. But because his father's background was too ordinary, he was strongly opposed by his grandfather's family, so he broke up a pair of lovers alive. After many unsuccessful fights, they pretended to obey their families on the surface, but in private they made a private agreement for life. They took advantage of the fact that their families were gradually losing their defense, and they found an opportunity to run together to a small village in the middle of nowhere. My father got a job teaching, and my mother was able to raise her baby at home because she was pregnant. They thought that they could live their lives in peace like this in the future, and they could love and enjoy their families in that calm mountain village. But in the end, my grandfather found them and tried to take them back by force and let my mother get rid of the children. In the end, my mother gave me a safe birth in exchange for my father's slash. β
"But my grandfather blocked the news from the outside world, and only said that my mother was sent abroad for a period of time to recuperate because she was unwell. Since I was born, I was given to a middle-aged childless couple in the village where my parents were teaching at the time. Later, my mother married the so-called right man according to my grandfather's wishes. Father also did according to the family's arrangement and married your mother. Since then, the two have accepted the arrangement of fate and have no contact, but agreed that every year on my birthday, they will go together to celebrate a birthday for me, as compensation for sending me out since I was a child. It's just that I didn't expect that one day, it will become a place where there is no return."
Tears flashed in his eyes, and my brother choked up and said to me, "Zhen Rou, from beginning to end, it wasn't you who bothered me. It's just that I want to compensate you as much as I can. If it weren't for me, our father wouldn't have died. So, please accept my kindness to you. Let me make it up to you properly. β
The sudden truth caught me a little off guard, the man in front of me who was stoic and sad and the young man who defended me in front of everyone on the school podium many years ago coincided and gradually separated, looking back on his care for me for so many years, it was the most selfless dedication of an older brother to his younger sister.
Although I was shocked by the so-called truth, I didn't blame him in the slightest. He said it was because of him that I lost my father. But didn't he lose his parents overnight? At the very least, I really accepted my father's love for more than ten years. As for him, since the day he was born, he has only been with his parents for a few days. This time, it seems unfair to ask him to atone for his sins.
"When did you first know that I was your sister?"
Su Ye replied: "When you were in college, you came to work in my store, and when I first met you, I felt inexplicably cordial, and I had a feeling of wanting to protect you. I don't know why I felt this way all of a sudden, until later, another girl picked up your wallet in the fitting room and handed it to me, and the picture of you and your father in it clearly illustrates our relationship. So, I'm sure, you're my sister. β
It turns out that everything is arranged by fate. I chose to work in his shop in so many places, and he left me with so many college students who went to interviews, and then my wallet happened to be transferred to him, but in order not to disturb my life, he has been silently paying for so many years, never asking for anything in return.
I stepped forward, hugged Su Ye gently, raised my head, and tried to make myself smile and say, "Su Ye, I'm very happy to have you as a brother." You never had to make up for anything with me. I'm glad that I still have a blood relative in the world who loves me so much. You are not responsible for that car accident, and these things, from start to finish, are not your fault. I got my father's complete fatherly love, but you didn't, to say that you owe more than you owe, so, we don't have to worry about these things anymore, through this car accident I also see clearly, don't ruin your immediate happiness because of those unnecessary entanglements. β
Su Ye wrapped her hand around my shoulders and buried her head in my neck, and warm water came from my neck. Su Ye choked up and said, "Thank you, my sister, I haven't dared to tell you the truth for so many years, just because I'm afraid that after you know the truth, you will alienate me." Thank you for being so accommodating. β
I patted him on the back and smiled and said, "My brother, you are lighter, you are going to squeeze your nephew." β
Su Ye burst into laughter, gently scraped my forehead, and said, "Yes, yes, you are two people now, I have to be careful." lest the child dislike my uncle in the future. β
I suddenly remembered that I had another question, so I asked, "Does Quan Yu know that there is such a brother as you? Since you have cut off contact with Quan Yu's grandfather, why are you in the hospital again?
Su Ye took a breath, frowned, and said, "This story is very long, are you sure you want to finish it here?"
Also, we don't talk about these things in the hospital room. "Then let's go home, and you tell me slowly. β
Su Ye asked rhetorically: "Which home to go back to?"
I smiled and said, "Didn't you just let me go home with you? Su Ye laughed and took me by the shoulders and walked out.
"Su Ye, can I go and see Quan Yu first?"
Su Ye's face was embarrassed: "The old man is now guarding outside the ICU every day, and if you go over now, I'm afraid he still won't let you see him." You come home with me to rest first, and I'll figure out the rest of the matter. β
I asked Su Ye to take me back to Quan Yu's residence first, on the one hand, I wanted to pack a few of my own clothes, and on the other hand, I also wanted to bring a few Quan Yu's clothes. It smells of him on it, and keeping them next to your pillow will give me peace of mind in the dead of night.
Su Ye's residence is not as luxurious as I imagined, just a simple two-bedroom apartment in an ordinary community, but the furnishings inside are simple but very warm, and it is really the taste of home.
Su Ye vacated the master bedroom for me and moved all his things to the second bedroom, although I repeatedly explained that there was no need to do this, he still insisted on doing so, and I didn't insist anymore.
After everything was cleaned up, I went back to the office and handed in my resignation report. On the one hand, I couldn't hold it anymore when I was a month old. On the other hand, Kwon Yu's grandfather doesn't want us to be together again, and he really can't stay in the same company in the future.
Fortunately, Sister Fu has always been good to me, knew about my car accident, and told me to take good care of my body, and the handover procedures can be simplified, saving a lot of trouble.
