Chapter 1649 - Still a Nephew, If Not a Son

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sun Guohong felt as though his life was meaningless with such family members. The only one who supported him in the family was his father, but he had passed away three years ago.

Perhaps it was because his father was no longer around that Yanyan had the chance to be with Sun Guoming. Otherwise, with his father around, Sun Guoming would never dare to be too close with his future sister-in-law, let alone have a child together. If they had gotten too close, his father would have broken Sun Guoming’s leg just to warn him.

“...” After hearing about Sun Guohong’s past, Qiao Nan was speechless. “I think that Sun Guohong is almost like a duplicate of me!”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Zhai Sheng’s expression hardened. “Nothing has gone on between me and Qiao Zijin! In so many years, I’ve not even spoken more than ten sentences to her.” So, how was Nan Nan like Sun Guohong? Nan Nan’s words were an insult to him! No matter how poor his judgment was, he would never take a fancy to Qiao Zijin!

“Hehehe...” Qiao Nan laughed dryly. She could not possibly say that Sun Guohong’s situation was similar to hers in her past life, right? Ding Jiayi was biased toward her elder child, while Mother Sun was biased toward her younger one. She and Sun Guohong had both been the ones to be cast aside, the ones who had lost their opportunities to further their studies and the ones who had to use their hard-earned money to support their mother’s favored child.

The worst part was that Sun Guohong’s fiancée was even carrying Sun Guoming’s child! Qiao Zijin had forced Chen Jun to break up with her because she was pregnant.

“What happened afterward?” Qiao Nan interrupted. “After the matter got to this point, what happened to that child in that woman, Yanyan’s, stomach? Sun Guohong’s mother could have taken care of the engagement, but there’s no way a wedding could have happened without Sun Guohong around, right?”

“Actually, she did intend to do it without him.” A cold gaze flashed through Zhai Sheng’s eyes. “Sun Guohong’s mom had planned on organizing the wedding just as she had done for his engagement. I’m sure you know that in the countryside, holding a wedding means that you’re married. Sun Guohong’s mom even told the villagers that Yanyan was already pregnant with Sun Guohong’s child. It was just that Sun Guohong was too busy in the military to return home. There was no other choice. The Sun family could only do Yanyan this wrong and excuse Sun Guohong from his own wedding.”

“...” All right. Sun Guohong’s mother was the true powerhouse! “Go on.”

“Sun Guohong had probably guessed that his mother would do such a thing, so he made a call to the village secretary. He told the secretary that he was a soldier and spent too little time at home. Because Yanyan was still young, it was expected that she would not be able to wait for him. Since Yanyan already had someone in mind and had even become pregnant with his child, he would not ask for Yanyan to return whatever money he had given to her and her family. He would just let her have her freedom, but from then on, he would have nothing to do with Yanyan. He would break off the engagement and wish Yanyan happiness in her future.”

Sun Guohong’s mother had organized a huge wedding party in the village and had even told everyone that the baby in Yanyan’s stomach was Sun Guohong’s. But who would have expected that Sun Guohong would make a phone call back to say that Yanyan had not been able to wait for him and that the baby in her stomach was not his! Sun Guohong, who had been cheated on, was not even going to pursue the matter. He even wished Yanyan well!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, the village secretary was no fool. He had been wondering about the matter because he knew that Sun Guohong was not an impulsive child. Sun Guohong was a soldier. If he wanted to get married legally, he would have to write a marriage report no matter what.

That was how all soldiers got married. Sun Guohong could not have become so unreliable suddenly to have made such a huge mistake on this one important event in his life.

Besides, Yanyan had only just left the village with Mother Sun a while ago. In total, they had returned in about a month, and they were already saying that Yanyan had gotten pregnant? Even if Yanyan had gone to visit Sun Guohong with Mother Sun, could she really get pregnant so quickly and find out within a month? Did they really think that no one else had any experience of being young and having children?

Sun Guohong had said that the baby in Yanyan’s stomach was not his but another man’s. But the strange thing was that Sun Guohong’s mother had made a huge fuss the moment they returned to the village and had even organized a wedding for the couple. She had even announced that Sun Guohong was about to be a father. This whole matter was just too strange.

Sun Guohong was a man after all. If he was certain that the baby in Yanyan’s stomach was not his child, there was no reason for the secretary to doubt him. But if the baby in Yanyan’s stomach was not Sun Guohong’s, why had Mother Sun forced Sun Guohong to acknowledge it?

After thinking through and about how Mother Sun had been all smiles when talking about her grandchild in Yanyan’s stomach, the secretary came up with a very frightening idea: it was his future in-law’s favorite son, Sun Guoming. It was because of this that he had allowed his daughter to date and get engaged to Sun Guoming.

Initially, Sun Guohong was almost twenty-seven years old when he finally got engaged to Yanyan. Mother Sun had not even been particularly happy on the day of the engagement. That was totally unlike her behavior when Sun Guoming got engaged to his daughter. Many people had commented that Mother Sun was over the moon, so happy that her mouth was almost crooked from smiling.

Naturally, Mother Sun would not care for her eldest grandson if it were to come from Sun Guohong. And no one could even be certain that this was going to be a grandson. Thinking about how Sun Guoming would turn around to look at Yanyan’s stomach from time to time, there was nothing that the secretary did not understand anymore. No matter how frightening his suspicions were, there was nothing as frightening as the truth.

In an instant, the secretary’s expression darkened. “Guohong’s mom, Guohong just called me. He said that the baby in Yanyan’s stomach is not his and that Yanyan already has someone she fancies. He’s a soldier and can’t spend much time with Yanyan, so he doesn’t blame Yanyan for falling in love with another man or even getting pregnant with that man’s child. Guohong said that he’ll just disregard his marriage to Yanyan and that Yanyan can get married to the child’s father. He even wished Yanyan well. Guohong’s mom, what are you trying to do by organizing this wedding? Are you so desperate to become a grandmother?”

The secretary’s words were like a bolt of out of the blue, stunning all the villagers who had come to attend the wedding. “The baby in Yanyan’s stomach is not Guohong’s? So it’s some other man’s?”

Yanyan, who had been laughing and smiling joyfully, immediately turned pale, and she began trembling in fear. She had never expected that Sun Guohong would never be able to father a child in his whole life but still be unwilling to accept his nephew who was in her stomach! She did not even mind that Sun Guohong was a man without any ‘seeds’, and she was even willing to marry Sun Guohong and spend her life with him.

But Sun Guohong was so ruthless to refuse to marry her and give her baby a chance to live! He had to know that the baby in her stomach would call Sun Guohong ‘dad’ and was even Sun Guohong’s biological nephew! Could Sun Guohong really bear to watch his nephew die in front of his eyes?
