Zhou Lin had no choice but to drop the subject and casually asked, "When did Third Uncle and the others leave yesterday?"
Wang i recounted the events of yesterday.
Cheng Zhiwei paused, "Another son?"
"It’s Doctor ng."
Cheng Zhiwei was dumbfounded, "ng Qiancheng?"
So, he was Zhou Lin’s brother?
"Zhou Chenyan is a control freak. Whenever the Young Madam spoke to another man, he would feel that she was seducing others, and would beat and kick her. His personality beca increasingly strange, and he beca more and more violent towards the family mbers. Later, due to a disagreent with the master, he pushed the master down the stairs."
Cheng Zhiwei, holding a water glass, couldn’t believe it, "Isn’t that deliberate murder?"
"Yes, it was only then that the master realized Zhou Chenyan was ntally unstable. Before he died, he sent Zhou Chenyan abroad. Zhou Chenyan is a madman; before leaving, he hid the child and later even lied to the Young Madam, saying the child was dead. The Young Madam felt guilty for many years."
Wang i was originally a maid serving Zhou Chenyan. Just because she put a little extra chili in the food, Zhou Chenyan beat her half to death. If it weren’t for Lin Yu pleading on her behalf, she would have died long ago.
Cheng Zhiwei was silent for a long while before she said, "So this ti, Third Uncle ca to share power with ng Qiancheng?"
She suddenly understood why ng Qiancheng had always been extrely hostile and prejudiced against Zhou Lin, even more than once hoping she would take revenge on Zhou Lin.
So that was the reason.
"The Young Madam has really suffered too much. The first half of her life was with bad family mbers and that demon Zhou Chenyan, and it was not easy for her to struggle out of that mire. Now her husband has fallen ill. Sigh," Wang i felt so unfair for Lin Yu.
Cheng Zhiwei put down the water glass without speaking.
Seeing her looking gloomy, Wang i took the initiative to say, "I just happen to be going to the hospital, would the Young Madam like to co with ?"
"Sure," Cheng Zhiwei agreed.
At the hospital, Lin Yu was very happy to see Cheng Zhiwei and comforted her not to take the stuff on the internet to heart. Such gentleness and kindness, no one could tell she had suffered so much.
Cheng Zhiwei tried to appear cheerful, not wanting Lin Yu to worry.
Just then, soone ca in and said, "Sir, Madam, Mr. ng is here."
It was ng Qiancheng.
Zhou Chenyuan said, "Let him in."
However, Lin Yu said, "Have him wait on the side, I’ll be right there."
She wouldn’t let him see Zhou Chenyuan.
Cheng Zhiwei took the initiative to say, "I’ll go with you."
Lin Yu thought about it and agreed; there were so things Cheng Zhiwei was better off knowing.
The two of them went to the next room.
ng Qiancheng was standing by the window. Wrapped in an off-white coat over a high-necked sweater, his fra appeared extrely slender; from behind, his attire made him look sowhat similar to Zhou Lin.
Upon hearing the door open, he turned around, still smiling warmly, "Weiwei is here too."
Cheng Zhiwei felt a mix of emotions and for a mont wasn’t sure whether to call him "Brother Qiancheng," so she just nodded without saying anything.
Lin Yu carefully looked over ng Qiancheng, but she still couldn’t see any trace of her and Zhou Chenyan in his face; one could only say, ng Qiancheng looked nothing like them.
If it hadn’t been confird through a paternity test that she and he were closely related by blood, Lin Yu would not have been able to associate ng Qiancheng with being her son just by observing him.
Her emotions were complex, torn between the mother-son bond that had not been seen for over two decades and knowing ng Qiancheng’s ulterior motives for returning.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, it was difficult for her.
However, she quickly controlled her chaotic emotions, nodded slightly at ng Qiancheng, and said softly, "I did not expect that after more than twenty years, you have grown so much."
ng Qiancheng hooked his lips, "As you said, it’s been over twenty years."
Tears welled up in Lin Yu’s eyes, "I called you yesterday, why didn’t you answer?"
However conflicted, ng Qiancheng was still her son. Initially, ng Qiancheng was supposed to follow her, but when Zhou Chenyan went abroad, he had taken him away, and later when she went abroad to look for him, Zhou Chenyan told her he was dead.
After searching for a long ti and finding nothing, she truly believed he was no longer in this world.
ng Qiancheng was silent for a while, then said with a bitter smile, "I wasn’t sure if you still wanted as your son; I eventually returned to the country on my own, stayed in an orphanage for a while, and was fortunate to grow up thanks to Uncle Cheng’s support."
He spoke lightly, but Lin Yu was already unable to hold back her tears.
Cheng Zhiwei quietly handed her a tissue and comforted her. After a while, Lin Yu’s emotions gradually stabilized, and she said, "It’s good you’re back, co ho with ."
"Would Zhou Chenyuan and Zhou Lin agree? Besides, that’s not my ho," ng Qiancheng said bluntly.
He was at odds with Zhou Lin, and he had significant animosity toward Zhou Chenyuan, which was why he addressed him by na.
Thinking of ng Qiancheng being with Zhou Jinzhong, Lin Yu actively advised, "Zhou Jinzhong is not a good man, Qiancheng, don’t associate with him."
"But they are willing to acknowledge as a mber of the Zhou Family," ng Qiancheng smiled, "Do Zhou Chenyuan and Zhou Lin really know nothing about my identity?"
"Qiancheng, they don’t know."
"Now that they know, have they taken any initiative to acknowledge my identity or to take back?" ng Qiancheng’s emotions flared up.
Tears fell from Lin Yu’s eyes, "They..."
"I didn’t care either. I have endured all sorts of hardships these twenty-so years. You never raised , and I don’t need you to in the future either," ng Qiancheng scoffed, delivering a heavy blow to Lin Yu’s heart, "You don’t deserve to be a mother."
Lin Yu’s face turned pale, and she staggered, "Qiancheng, I looked for you before, but he said you were dead."
"You believed he was dead just like that, you simply didn’t want to find , did you?" the gentle mask torn away, ng Qiancheng beca confrontational.
"Brother Qiancheng," Cheng Zhiwei looked at him disapprovingly, "stop talking."
ng Qiancheng fell silent, pulling back his resentnt, "I ca today to look for you, Weiwei."
Cheng Zhiwei frowned, "?"
"You see, I’m now capable of protecting you, co with , I’ll resolve everything," ng Qiancheng’s gaze softened a lot towards Cheng Zhiwei, persuasively coaxing.
Lin Yu glanced at Cheng Zhiwei and opened her mouth to say sothing, but feeling she had no standing, she could only look at Cheng Zhiwei with concern.
Cheng Zhiwei fell silent.
ng Qiancheng asked sowhat urgently, "Don’t you trust ?"
Cheng Zhiwei pressed her lips together, then turned to Lin Yu and said, "Mom, go ahead back ho, I have sothing to discuss with Brother Qiancheng."
Lin Yu humd in response, and left.
Once sure Lin Yu was gone, Cheng Zhiwei finally raised her head and examined ng Qiancheng closely, her gaze becoming increasingly strangers.
