163: Chapter 5 Explanation_2 163: Chapter 5 Explanation_2 “Big Sister?” Little Niangao cocked his head and hesitantly asked, “Does the daughter from Uncle’s family abduct people?”
Because of Yaya’s presence, the child previously had a good impression of soone called “Big Sister,” but having just suffered a heavy fall on the train, he couldn’t help being cautious.
Han Shouxin froze for a mont and said, “Why would she?
Big sister definitely likes Little Niangao.
Why would she abduct Little Niangao?” His mind imdiately grasped the crux of the matter, and he sowhat resented that father and daughter.
“How old is Uncle’s daughter, and what is her na?” In this short period of ti, Lin Xiaoguai had also noticed Han Shouxin’s benevolence towards their family, and his attitude towards Shen Chi was even sowhat ingratiating.
Thus, she relaxed and asked.
“She’s eight years old, nad Han Xinyu, but her nickna is Nuonuo.” ntioning his daughter softened Han Shouxin’s expression considerably.
All in all, the interactions between them that day were quite harmonious.
By the ti they were ready to leave, Little Niangao was already sitting in Han Shouxin’s arms, both of them chatting amiably.
Different from Shanghai, the house provided to Shen Chi in the Capital Military District had already been cleaned inside and out, even the bedding was laid out, and although all were military supplies, they were sufficient for a temporary stay of a couple of days.
What pleased Lin Xiaoguai most was that this ti the house was not an apartnt building, but a small courtyard house.
Although it wasn’t as large as the four-bedroom, two-living-room house in Shanghai, being only a three-bedroom, one-living-room size, it was more than enough for their family of three.
Furthermore, the front and back yards were quite spacious, totaling about half an acre.
After coaxing Little Niangao to sleep, Lin Xiaoguai folded her arms across her chest and looked at Shen Chi and said faintly, “Spill it.”
Just as he expected…
Shen Chi sighed and, reaching out, pulled her to his side and said, “I didn’t an to hide it from you on purpose.
I just felt…”
“Felt what?”
“It’s difficult to broach.” Shen Chi pursed his lips and continued, “Did you know?
For nearly ten years before this, I always believed I was a bastard child of the Han Family.” So although he felt annoyed and angry at the oppression from that woman, he could only swallow his teeth along with the blood.
Shen Chi’s cunning and strategies were imnse, not conforming to the norms of the era, but his morals were undeniably upright.
When he first learned he was a bastard child, he even entertained the notion of self-abandonnt on the battlefield.
If not for several comrades supporting him, who knows where he would be now.
“What do you an?” Lin Xiaoguai asked in shock.
“Let tell you about the Han Family first.” Pausing, he continued, “I didn’t know before, it was only after these two years of investigation and Han Shouxin’s addition that I got things straightened out.”
He had actually acknowledged Han Shouxin, but to call him brother was still a bit…
embarrassing.
“Let’s start with my biological father and mother.” Shen Chi carefully considered his words and said, “You’ve probably heard the na Han Kuang.
He is a fad general known as the ‘National Pillar’ following the ten Grand Marshals of the founding of the nation, the current national honored Admiral, and he is my biological father.
My mother is Gu Fangwei.
She was the chief of the national intelligence departnt during her life.
Unknown in life, but posthumously awarded the rank of Lieutenant General.”
Lin Xiaoguai looked surprised.
Not to ntion Han Kuang, Gu Fangwei might not be known for her deeds in life, but being posthumously awarded the rank of Lieutenant General indicated she was no ordinary person.
In her past life, Shen Chi had lived a sequestered life in Shanghai for most of it, and she hadn’t even heard about him ever setting foot in the Capital.
She could never have imagined he had such a background.
In a flash, a thought crossed her mind, her heart rate accelerating.
It couldn’t be…
“The Han and Gu families were longti friends, and my parents were brought together in a union of the two families.
But at that ti, in the midst of war, no one really cared about love and affection.
What’s more, although they were together due to the expectations of their elders, they supported each other through hardship, with a depth of feelings that simple mutual affection couldn’t compare to.”
“Both were busy on the battlefield and due to accidents and circumstances beyond their control, they lost two sons early, and my mother had a miscarriage.
After the founding of the country, my mother’s health deteriorated drastically due to the early hardships.
Although she still held a position in the Military Departnt, her actual work was handled by her subordinates.
She herself was in a semi-convalescent state, only needed when sothing major arose that her underlings couldn’t handle.”
“Then my grandmother fell seriously ill, and she accompanied Han Shouxin and my sister Han Shouzhen back to the family ho to take care of the elderly.
My father could only join them there when he had ti off from work.
Liu Yuzhi probably showed up around then, and sohow they got involved, even having a son nad Han Shouyi.”
“My mother stayed in the countryside for seven or eight years.
Later, when her health slightly improved, she got pregnant with and, despite the doctors’ advice, gave birth to , resulting in her health collapsing.
She passed away when I was three.”
Pausing, he said, “Han Shouxin said that our mother must have already known about father and Liu Yuzhi’s affair, otherwise, she would not have refused to return to the Capital and instead chose to give birth to in a rural area lacking sufficient dical care.”
Upon reaching this point, Shen Chi sneered, “After my mother passed away, my father intended to marry Liu Yuzhi, but Han Shouyi’s existence was problematic—a bastard is no laughing matter.
Moreover, although I hadn’t appeared before the world, my na had already been added to the family registrar long ago, making Han Shouyi only the third of the Han Family!”
“By that ti, there were already rumors in the Capital about my father having an illegitimate child.
If Han Shouyi’s existence as a bastard were revealed, let alone Liu Yuzhi and her son being pointed at, even my father would likely face undesirable consequences.”
“And that’s when Liu Yuzhi thought of a ‘great idea,'” he said, his smile becoming especially cold.
