Her father laughed and scratched Youyouâs straight and charming nose, teasing him, âNext time, grandpa will help you assemble and play!â
Upon hearing that, Youyouâs eyes instantly lit up. He smiled and nodded.
âHere I was wondering who came by. It turned out to be these two little wretches!â
These insulting words instantly destroyed the warm atmosphere of the moment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yun Yechengâs gaze changed. His face took on a ghastly expression when he saw Li Qin, who was standing at the living roomâs doorway in her pajamas and with her arms folded to her chest, coldly inspect Youyou, who was in his embrace.
He fumed, âWhat are you talking about?! Youyou is your grandson!â
Youyou looked at her, and his shoulders inadvertently shrank. He then remembered his mother telling him not to talk back to Li Qin and Yun Na. He could not help but purse his lips at that. He turned to raise his small face and looked at her with a slight grin. âGrandma!â
Li Qin leered at him, spouting extremely unpleasant words, âOh, donât you call me that! You are no grandson of mine!â
Yun Yecheng could not refrain from raging, his heart burning in flames. âWhat do you mean?!â
âWhat do I mean? Literally that! You acknowledge him; itâs your business. I donât! Who would want to acknowledge this bastard born to a mom, but no dad?â
Li Qin shot him a cold glance. Suddenly raising her voice, she looked in the direction of the kitchen and, intentionally or otherwise, criticized harshly, âGiving birth to a son at such a young age without marrying first, becoming a mother even before graduation, not knowing the identity of the father of her child... Where did this bastard come from, then?! Born to a father but acknowledged by none?â
Yun Shishiâs face turned pale. She pursed her lips as she heard Li Qin continue with her mean words, âAlso, the company folded because of her. Life in the Yun family has been tough for the past few years, but someone still doesnât appreciate our good intentions and doesnât know her place. She persisted on bringing back a burden and living off of us. Does she know shame at all?! She may be able to bear this disgrace but not me! I donât even know where to hide my face whenever others learn of this!â
In the kitchen, Yun Shishi overheard the unpleasant words from the living room. Halting her handsâ movements as her face turned much paler, she furiously spun around. âYou... should know when to stop!â
âLi Qin, are you done?! How can oneâs mouth be this vicious? Back then, if it werenât for Shishi, the Yun familyââ Her father abruptly stopped his words and did not go on!
From then until now, he had kept the origin of that huge money from Yun Shishi a secret for her sake. After all, if news of her surrogacy were to get out, it would completely ruin her reputation. Thus, what Li Qin knew was that the debt was paid off with the Yun familyâs financial assets.
âWhat? Go on! What would happen without her?â
Li Qin felt thoroughly humiliated and became extremely upset. Her eyes turned red as tears threatened to spill from them. In fact, she was so angry that she laughed, âAlright! Youâre here to push aside your own family, arenât you?! You even yelled at me! Yun Yecheng, what did I do all this for? I did this for the Yun family! Back then, when the company closed down, I even asked my parents for some money. Iâm ashamed to go back now! Hah! Now, youâre yelling at me because of two outsiders?! Are you going to chase me and Nana out tomorrow for them, then?!â
Yun Yecheng was seething with rage that his face turned livid and his voice rose in volume. âYou! Donât make trouble out of nothing, say what and what!â
Li Qin screamed, âWhen did I make trouble out of nothing?!â
In response, Youyou hurriedly stood up from the sofa and walked over to Li Qinâs side, his small hands cautiously grabbing on to the hem of her clothes. âGrandma, donât be angry! Youyou is not a bastard! Youyou has a daddyââ
