Chapter 1072 - She Referred You Two As Ma And Pa.

Shin You Jun's hands became sweaty. He doesn't want to sell off his elder sister but the warning from his father was enough to make him think twice about his stubborn thoughts. 'Elder Sister, you better not blame me afterward. I have already told you that I may not be suitable for this job.' He defended his helplessness in the heart before looking up at his father. 

Chen Rui already had a lot to worry about, and seeing her son adding more matters onto it was making her lose the cool. "You Jun, don't test our patience. Spill it out." 

"Aye, Ma! Why are you scaring me like that? I didn't share anything crucial with the outsider. It was just that I was reporting the things to Elder Sister. Isn't she family? How am I wrong to do that?" Feeling pressure from all sides, the young boy wasn't able to take it for longer. Revealing it, he pretended to be all innocent. 

"Here you guys are chiding me and there she was bullying me. What do you think? Did I have a choice? Nope. My life isn't as simple as people think. Being the youngest in the family has become a curse for me which I have been suffering from the day that witch *ahem* I mean Elder Sister has appeared. No one would understand." 

He exaggerated, perfectly getting into the victim's character. Though he has never thought it like that since the situation has already turned into this, why not take some profit in his favor. Furthermore, he wasn't totally wrong. Li Xue did bully him often. 

Internally, he defended his pretension ethically as a smile got on the corners of his lips. But then quickly concealing it, he looked at his mother like a kid who was being bullied regularly. Given how well he has executed his dialogues, he was sure that his play must be a success. Plus, the serious expression on the faces of his parents was also boosting his confidence. 

'Hehe … Elder Sister now you will understand. Your young brother is not a person you could underestimate easily.' He thought internally.

But every hint of confidence flew out the window when he saw his mother asking with curiosity laced with a bit of happiness. Shouldn't her expression just be the opposite? Did he do wrong somewhere?

"You Jun, what do you mean? You were reporting things to Xiao Xue? Why? Did she call to ask you?"  Chen Rui asked. Her eyes glimmering, expecting to hear something that could ease her anxious heart. 

Shin You Jun couldn't believe it. Was he even her son? How could she just not care about asking about his pain and suffering? "Ma, are you sure you didn't get me from some orphanage? Why am I being treated like this?" 

"You Jun, that's enough. Tell what your mother is asking?" From the side, even Shin Tingming was waiting to hear. As to how Feng Shufen has taken away Li Xue earlier, he was already fearing that he wouldn't take time in revealing the truth to the girl. And if he did, what would be the consequences? Will she be able to accept them or not? 

Now hearing his son saying that Xiao Xue earlier called to ask about the family, he was also expectant to hear what it was about. 

Shin You Jun couldn't bully himself more. Today, he had already realized that it stood in the comparison of that woman, he would definitely have no value. Already accepting the harsh truth of reality, he looked at his parents. "Earlier, she called me and asked me to be her informer in the family. And since she was elder to me, I agreed with her." 

"Informer?"  Chen Rui asked with a tug on her brows and the boy nodded. 

"Yes, she asked me to be one for her. And when you heard me, I was reporting the things to her. And before you people ask me more, let me say all of it to you. She called me to say that she wants me to update her about the happenings in the family. So that when the time comes, she doesn't come up as a weakness for you two rather be there as your strength." 

He said and Chen Rui exchanged a meaningful smile with her husband. But there was no expression change on the face of the man. Instead of turning to look at his son, he said with some sternness. 

"You Jun, the family matters are messy. It's not good to involve her like this. Why did you do that? Furthermore, she has not yet accepted our request of getting into our family tree, so it won't be good to get her into it. If someone comes to know about it, it would only create more complications." He said, before turning to leave. But his steps came to a halt when heard Shin You Jun from behind. 

"Who said so? Aren't you guys underestimating her too much?" Shin You Jun said and Chen Rui turned to look at her son. Understanding the gaze of his mother, he added, "I mean I feel like she has already positively considered getting into the royal family." 

"You Jun, what made you think so? Did she say something to you?" Earlier she was happy when heard that the girl has asked about them but when heard Shin Tingming refusing to let her know more about them, she agreed to it as well. After all, no doubt the royal wasn't simple, and getting the girl into the mess will not only create complications for them but also trouble for her. 

But her died down interest piqued once again when heard her son adding some more positiveness to the context.

Shin You Jun's brows wrinkled as he put some thought deep to think before saying, "Umm I am not sure because she has not been direct with her words. But amid her words, I felt like she had already taken her decision of it."

"What was in her words?" Chen Rui didn't understand, so she asked for detail. 

To which the boy added, "Like for the first time I heard calling us a family. And also referring you two as Ma and Pa. For the first time, there wasn't any awkwardness in her tone, rather she sounded more confident and serious.." He said and the couple exchanged gazes between themselves.
