CH 245

The nurse rushed over to inject her with a dose of sedative. Once Yun Na succumbed to the dose, Yun Yecheng thought of Yun Shishi and decided to talk to her of what he should do at present!

Youyou saw through their intentions, however.

With Yun Na in a crisis over restoring her original appearance, they, especially Li Qin, would obviously opt to raise money for plastic surgery. Was she only willing to let go of his mommy when she had sucked her dry?

In the past, she had often called his mother a ‘b*tch’, and now, when her biological daughter was in trouble, she had the audacity to flash the family card to him – even he thought that she was being hypocritical.

Before, he used to call Li Qin ‘grandma’ and Yun Yecheng ‘grandpa’; it was because of his mommy.

Now that he knew of that matter six years ago, he would no longer treat them nicely for old time’s sake.

“Youyou, how can you talk like that to your grandpa?! You are so young, yet you don’t have manners!” she lectured him sternly.

“Grandpa? He he, I don’t have a grandpa like him.” Youyou played with the ring in his hand and said calmly, “If he were my grandpa, he would have known how much suffering my mommy has endured over the years. As for you, Li Qin, I used to call you grandma, but you did not care for my existence. In these six years, you have never cared for my mommy and me. Back then, why didn’t it cross your mind that she is your daughter and I am your grandson? Now that you have a predicament, you make use of that so-called ‘kinship’—sorry to say, but it’s too late!”

Yun Yecheng’s body completely stiffened, his face turning livid. All these years, he had not been a dutiful father to her; he truly felt that he owe his daughter a lot.

Still, his grandson’s attitude toward him was too different, and he could not make sense of the entire situation.

Li Qin quickly lost her patience in her dissatisfaction, saying, “You can’t put it that way! When did the Yun family treat her badly? Even if we gave her the cold shoulder, it’s only because we argued a little. Blood is thicker than water; your grandpa is your own flesh and blood, isn’t he?”

“Ha ha!” Youyou suddenly let out a faint snicker, as if he had heard a joke. He then answered monotonously, “‘Blood is thicker than water’? You think I really don’t know that mommy is not your biological daughter?”

Yun Yecheng was horrified.

How did he know?

No one had mentioned to him that Yun Shishi was only adopted. How did this child know?

Could it be…

Impossible. He knew Yun Shishi well.

She had always treated him as her biological father, and this daughter had been very filial to him all along.

“Alright! Since you know that your mommy isn’t our biological daughter, shouldn’t you repay us for her upbringing?!” she accused unceremoniously while she pointed her finger at him. She seemed to have forgotten that the person before her was just a six-year-old child.

“REPAY?!” Youyou exploded. He abruptly stood up, rushed into the study room, brought out a thick stack of papers, which he numbly flung at Yun Yecheng, and spoke in a chilling voice.

“Six years ago, my mommy helped the Yun family once. Li Qin, what did you take my mommy for? You wish to make a waste of her, but I, Yun Tianyou, won’t allow that!”

He turned around and laughed grimly. “Also, Mr. Yun, I kindly advise that you and your wife keep your mouths shut regarding this. Don’t go tattling to my mommy. You’re not allowed to mention anything about today.”

She fumed and said, “You… How can you speak like this — ”

“Get out!” Youyou abruptly pointed to the door and ordered coldly, “GET OUT!”

Yun Yecheng quickly turned around and left. Seeing this, Li Qin followed along in a hurry.

Youyou was expressionless. Recalling the price his dear mother had to pay for the Yun family six years ago, his heart almost suffocated from the pain.

It was so painful he felt as if his heart were being pricked.

Youyou held the sofa for support and clutched his chest firmly. He suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

Suffocating… It really felt as though he were suffocating.

“Ha… haa… ah haaa…”

Cold sweat broke out and covered his forehead as he rigidly sat down on the sofa. His breathing hastened. He held his chest, only to feel that something was constricting it. It was stuffy and painful inside, and he was almost unable to breathe.

“Ah ha… haa… haaa…”

Youyou uncomfortably shriveled up into a ball on the sofa. His fingers, which were hovering over his chest, grabbed hold of his shirt drearily. His brows were distorted, and his face was completely wan from the pain. Beads of cold sweat constantly dripped from his face to the sofa.

“Ha… haa…”

His phone suddenly rang.

Youyou looked in the direction of the ringing sound and barely managed to squat on the sofa as he clutched his chest. He slowly inched toward the gadget; one of his feet had just touched the ground when his legs wobbled and gave way. He fell off from the sofa to the floor.

Breathe… He was almost unable to breathe…

He moved to the table with much difficulty, but this was when his phone ceased ringing.

He held his phone up and, with trembling hands, called back. Within two seconds, the call went through, and Li Hanlin’s calm voice could be heard asking, “Sir?”

“Mr. Li… save me…”

Smack!

He was unable to continue as he lost his grip on the phone, and it dropped to the floor with a clatter.

Yun Tianyou could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with an ashen complexion. The corner of his lips twitched, and he fell out of his consciousness.

Li Hanlin’s worried voice could be heard over the phone.

“You – Youyou?! Yun Tianyou? Hang in there! I’m coming now!”

…

On the way to the hospital, Yun Yecheng flipped through the pages with trembling hands. He looked through each page in silence, and his expression gradually darkened until it became ghastly pale.

Li Qin, who was sitting beside him, looked over in alarm. She tried to peek several times, but due to the car’s poor lighting and her poor eyesight, she could not make out what was written in them, so she asked, “Dear, what’s all these—”

“DON’T TALK TO ME!” he flew into a rage and cut her off all of a sudden. He then furrowed his brows in a serious manner and rested his head on the seat as he looked upward. “Don’t talk to me, Li Qin. Don’t talk to me!”

Never did he expect that his daughter had gone down the path of surrogacy six years ago was actually due to his wife’s secret instigation!
