He even forgot Pei Yiting's existence, squatted down slowly, and let out a painful groan. "I'm sorry for her..."
This is the first time that an uncle who has always been strong shows such a fragile appearance in front of him, which Pei Yiting did not expect.
It seems that the importance of aunt to uncle is self-evident...
"For so long, she has been hiding it from me..." Cheng Xiaodong's face was full of pain, he completely forgot about Pei Yiting's existence, and was completely immersed in grief.
Knowing that Cheng Xiaodong needed time, Pei Yiting didn't make a sound, let alone disturb him.
Seeing this scene, Qibao held his hand in fear: "Father, what's wrong with uncle and grandpa?"
"Grandpa is thinking of grandma, Qibao, don't be afraid, just don't disturb grandpa." Pei Yiting whispered to his daughter, and Qibao nodded quickly.
I don't know how long it took before Cheng Xiaodong came back to reality from the intense emotion. The moment he raised his head, his eyes were full of pain.
Pei Yiting's heart moved slightly, and he wanted to help him up, but Cheng Xiaodong had already stood up on his own initiative.
His back was slightly bent, and he seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.
Even Pei Yiting didn't expect that this incident would hit uncle so hard.
Jian Mei couldn't help frowning, suddenly not sure whether it was right or wrong to tell the truth.
Cheng Xiaodong suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and summoned up the courage to ask him: "Yiting, tell me, Xiaoyue, is that the child she gave birth to?"
Pei Yiting's expression was slightly cold, and he was not surprised to see Cheng Xiaodong's doubts on Xia Yueqing so quickly.
After all, his uncle is not an ordinary person.
Although Cheng Xiaodong's expression was not as out of control as before, he still looked like he was being hit.
Not knowing what his uncle's real attitude towards this was, Pei Yiting shook his head affirmatively. "Uncle, Xia Yueqing is not."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xiaodong's gaze immediately turned to him, "No? Where's that child?"
Pei Yiting shook his head neatly, and said softly, "I don't know."
"You don't know either? How come?" Cheng Xiaodong's voice raised slightly, as if he didn't quite believe this sentence.
"Uncle, don't doubt it. I really don't know. My aunt didn't tell me what happened."
After Cheng Xiaodong listened, his expression felt lost, even a bit ashamed.
"It's really not Xiaoyue?" He murmured to himself.
That reaction, although shocking, was not as out of control as Pei Yiting imagined.
Not to mention that he deliberately lied to him.
Pei Yiting couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked at Cheng Xiaodong with sharp eyes.
"No, to tell you the truth, Uncle, in order to confirm the ins and outs, I have sent the samples of you and Xia Yueqing to two appraisal agencies for identification. She has no blood relationship with you, Uncle, so it cannot be that child." This time, Pei Yiting said very clear.
However, these thunderous words caused Cheng Xiaodong to raise his head suddenly.
"What did you say? Me and Xiaoyue?"
Pei Yiting frowned, "What else?"
Immediately, his uncle shook his head and told him with great certainty: "You are wrong about Yiting."
"Huh?" What do you mean?
After a while, Cheng Xiaodong smiled wryly and told the truth: "Because the child's father is not me at all."
Pei Yiting's eyes shrank suddenly, and he called out silently, "What?"
At this point, Cheng Xiaodong smiled wryly, "You heard me right."
"What the hell is going on? Aunt said it was you..." His voice suddenly stopped at this point.
One said yes, one said no, who said it was true?
"I am not the father of the child..." Cheng Xiaodong looked at Zhen Shuangyan's tombstone and knelt down again.
I don't know how long it took before Pei Yiting left the cemetery with Qibao.
Xia Yueqing was waiting for them at home.
But he was surprised to find that Qibao was a little gloomy, and Pei Yiting didn't seem to be in a good mood either.
Did you feel affected because you went to worship your aunt?
"Mummy..." Qibao trotted over, holding Xia Yueqing's hand without speaking.
She could only look up at Pei Yiting, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yiting's eyes were a bit complicated, he gently held her hand, bent down, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you out to meet someone at night."
"Huh? Who? Your friend?"
Pei Yiting pulled his lips and smiled lightly: "You will know when you go."
This time he didn't bring Qibao, only he and Xia Yueqing went to the appointment.
When she arrived at her destination, Xia Yueqing was shocked to find that it was Cheng Xiaodong, and her expression became stiff.
"Yiting, what do you want to do?"
Could it be that he told him the truth? Or did he learn about their relationship from other channels?
Responding to her was Pei Yiting's soothing pat. "Don't be nervous, just sit down and talk."
Xia Yueqing was extremely irritable, thinking of such a scene, how could she act as if nothing had happened?
He wanted to leave, but Pei Yiting refused to let him, so he could barely cope with such a situation.
"I finally know why your mother hated me so much..." Cheng Xiaodong's words started, and Xia Yueqing's expression changed.
Her heart was beating violently, and she looked at the man opposite with slightly cold eyes.
"You told him?" Xia Yueqing asked Pei Yiting angrily.
I felt even more embarrassing on my face.
Why tell him? Isn't it good now?
Before Pei Yiting could speak, Cheng Xiaodong stood up and denied it: "Don't blame him, if Yiting hadn't said it today, maybe you would have been misunderstood for the rest of your life."
"We?" Xia Yueqing pursed her lips, expressing her confusion at the word.
"Yes, you."
Seeing her somewhat similar face to Zhen Shuangyan, Cheng Xiaodong told the truth: "You have never been cousins, all this is just your mother's misunderstanding."
Accompanied by his words, Xia Yueqing's eyes showed unconcealable surprise.
Turning to Pei Yiting, he also replied that she was indeed so with affirmative eyes. "What's the matter?"
Compared with Cheng Xiaodong, she believed in her aunt's words more.
"It's all my fault..."
Cheng Xiaodong sounded in a dazed and heavy voice.
As he said, Xia Yueqing is not her child, nor is it not Zhen Shuangyan's child that Pei Yiting guessed.
"You are indeed born of your mother, but your father is someone else."
Pei Yiting had already heard it from Cheng Xiaodong, and now his expression was normal, but the shock on Xia Yueqing's face could not be concealed.
"Your father was my good friend back then... His name is Hao Sheng."
The breakup between her and Zhen Shuangyan was a big deal back then, and Zhen Shuangyan was even forced to die.
And Hao Sheng is their mutual friend, and he also blamed Cheng Xiaodong for being irresponsible, breaking up after several years of relationship, so the two almost turned against each other.
