Chapter 100: All Split and Twisted

Poor Du Zi Xuan had already felt inferior because she was living under someone else’s roof. When she saw that Du Hong Yun acted like nothing had happened and never brought up that night again, she became even more sure that he had no romantic feelings for her and that what happened that night was just an accident he didn’t want to take responsibility for. She didn’t even dare to mention it.

But just because she didn’t mention it didn’t mean trouble wouldn’t come. Because of what happened that night, she became pregnant.

Ruan Xiu Ru: “!!!”

Wait. Zi Xuan got pregnant because of that night, which means there was never any so?called random man. Lei Lei is her son’s son, her own grandson!!!

Ruan Xiu Ru finally realized the truth. A year ago, when Du Zi Xuan came back from overseas with a two?year?old child, she had claimed that she had met a scumbag abroad who had tricked her into having this child and then abandoned her.

But after the child was born, that man completely disappeared. She had no choice but to raise the child alone.

Back then, Ruan Xiu Ru had been both angry and heartbroken. She had wanted to fly abroad, drag that scumbag out, chop him into pieces, and rid the world of a pest.

But now she was being told that the scumbag was actually her own son. This really was…

For a moment, Ruan Xiu Ru didn’t know whether to be happy or angry. But no matter what, now that she knew the child was from her own family, she still felt very excited.

That was a grandson, a smart, cute, chubby little grandson!

So what if Jiang Ru Ning had given birth to so many sons and daughters? In the end, she was still the one who got to hold a grandson first! Hahaha!

Mother Du had known Ruan Xiu Ru for so many years. Just one look at her expression and she knew what she was thinking, feeling helpless and amused at the same time.

Du An Rao was also speechless toward this cousin.

[Being able to treat that as just a dream is wild. Does he usually have a lot of dreams like that? Tsk tsk, honestly, he’s just repressed and secretly all worked up.]

Ruan Xiu Ru: “…”

To be honest, with her son’s stuffy?gourd personality, it really might be true. It’s just…

Ruan Xiu Ru glanced around and forced herself not to cover her face.

After today, son, your clean reputation was probably gone. But you deserved it. You just had to keep messing around instead of living well. You almost messed away your wife and child. Now you could only pray for yourself.

[Du Zi Xuan used studying abroad as cover to give birth, then brought the child back after she finished school, lying that the child was born from a fling overseas. I’m just saying, you all really believed such a dumb excuse? And from the way it’s written, the kid looks at least fifty or sixty percent like Cousin, right? Are you all blind? You couldn’t see that? You didn’t feel even a little suspicious?]

The onlookers eating melon: Pff…

Blind Ruan Xiu Ru: “…” Please stop scolding, please stop.

[This cousin really looked less and less reliable. He didn’t have the courage to confess, but when he saw her bring a child back, he went crazy with jealousy. With the child too, on one hand he couldn’t resist the natural bond between father and son and wanted to be close, but on the other hand he kept thinking the boy was his beloved’s child with another man and felt grossed out. He was completely split and twisted up inside.]

After hearing Du An Rao say this, Ruan Xiu Ru also felt her son really was too stupid. Luckily, she still had a grandson.

Now that she had a grandson, she felt satisfied with everything. At the same time, the more she looked at this son who had kept her from knowing about her grandson until now, the more she disliked him.

At that moment, far away in another city, Du Hong Yun suddenly felt his nose itch and couldn’t help sneezing loudly.

[Hmm, so this family of three spent a few months being all awkward like that. During this time, the vicious female side character who had heard that the female lead was back from overseas kept stirring up trouble. Tian Tian kept running over to Cousin to sow discord, making him burn with jealousy and anger. Luckily, although Cousin was jealous, he couldn’t bring himself to really hurt his wife and child. Otherwise, later on there would definitely have been one of those classic “chasing his wife to the crematorium” plots.]

When she heard this, Ruan Xiu Ru’s heart also jumped. She had met Qiu Lu Dan once or twice. It was said that she was the daughter of some big boss whose company worked with theirs.

Ruan Xiu Ru could see that the girl was interested in her son, but she hadn’t thought about interfering too much.

After all, what her son liked was what mattered most. If the girl he liked just happened to be from a family that matched theirs and could even help him in his career, that would be even better.

But now that she knew this woman had once used such nasty tricks to get her son, and was still secretly making little moves to keep their family from getting back together, Ruan Xiu Ru’s anger flared up. She wanted nothing more than to go find that woman right now and have a huge fight, then put her on the company’s blacklist.

[Hmm… the turning point in their relationship comes when…]

In an instant, Ruan Xiu Ru tossed her sky?high anger aside and pricked up her ears, waiting for what came next.

The onlookers around them who were watching the show also unconsciously held their breath, waiting for the plot to reach its climax.

[Ah, it was when their child, Du Zhe Lei, got into an accident.]

What?! Ruan Xiu Ru’s heart skipped a beat, and even her breathing paused.

Seeing this, Mother Du quickly held her up, squeezed her hand to comfort her, and softly said: “It’s okay.”

Ruan Xiu Ru snapped out of it. Right, right, the child was fine right now. As long as she figured out the truth today and went back to make those two brats do what they should, she could definitely avoid the danger early and let the child grow up safely.

[When their son turned three, he started going to kindergarten. Du Zi Xuan also found a job outside and focused on earning money to raise him. One day, something happened in her department and she had to work overtime deep into the night. She had no choice but to ask Du Hong Yun to pick up their son and take him home. When Du Hong Yun got the message, he started being awkward again, so by the time he finally made up his mind to go get the child, it was already dark.]

Ruan Xiu Ru was already grinding her teeth. This stupid son of hers was more and more useless the more she thought about him. He didn’t have even a bit of his father’s charm from back when he had chased her. She had no idea who he took after!

[The child had already been getting bullied at kindergarten because his father was “unknown.” That day, another brat just happened to be stuck there late too because his parents were working overtime. It was dark and the two of them were still at the kindergarten. Left together like that, it didn’t take long before they started fighting.]

People say human nature is kind, but sometimes you really can’t underestimate a child’s malice and destructive power, because they don’t even feel that hurting others is something bad.

When Du Zi Xuan had given birth abroad, she hadn’t gotten very good care. Du Zhe Lei had been weak since birth and was already thinner and weaker than children his age. How could he possibly beat a brat who was almost twice his size?

When Du Hong Yun rushed to the kindergarten, Du Zhe Lei had already been beaten until his head was bleeding. Scared out of his wits, he scooped the child up and ran for the hospital.

[Next came the classic old plot routine you see in this kind of story. The child had lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion, but his blood type, like Du Hong Yun’s, was a rare type.]

Du An Rao frowned deeply, her face dark.

[They look so alike and even have the same rare blood type that’s hard to find. The author couldn’t have made the hint any clearer, right? But this stupid cousin is just missing a few screws, or maybe he really got scared stupid by the child’s injuries. As soon as he heard there was no blood in the bank that the kid could use, he told the nurse to draw his own blood, and then… tragedy.]

Ruan Xiu Ru: “!!!”
