Chapter 250 - Schemer (2/2)

Ye Jie was kneading his temples when the voice came, "Do you have a headache? Chen, go and get some painkiller for him." Zhu Qinyang shouted to get her brother's attention.

"No, no... It's not a headache. I'm fine." Ye Jie was even getting tired of saying 'I'm fine' at the moment.

"Relax! Just eat this porridge then take the painkillers and take plenty of rest." Zhu Qinyang spoke to him like she was coaxing a little kid.

Xu Mey decided to stay quiet before Zhu Qinyang. She definitely didn't want her to burst up, on her right before Ah-Jie.

"Here's the painkillers." Zhu Chen gave the painkillers to his sister and stood at a side. Under the scrutinizing gazes of all these people, Ye Jie barely could swallow the porridge but he had to. None of them left the room until they were sure that he was comfortable in the bed.

"Phew!" Ye Jie and Xu Mey heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously when they left.

"Ah-Jie, have you seen how much they care about you? Imagine this will get to ten-folds if they got to know that you're their son." Xu Mey tried to convince Ye Jie since she had nothing better to do at the moment.

"Baby, don't try to coax me. I have already decided to tell them everything about two weeks ago." Ye Jie told her with a smile.

"Ah? Then the stress? Was it because of this?" Xu Mey questioned him and he nodded his head in reply making Xu Mey facepalm herself. "If you have already decided then what's the stress all about?"

"Baby, it's not like I can get up and walk up to them to come clean. I don't even know what to say." Ye Jie raked his fingers through his hair in exasperation.

"Seriously? Just come clean straightforwardly." Xu Mey retorted earning an 'Are-you-even-serious?' look from him.

"Right, I should go and say, Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu! You see, apparently, I have your blood running through my veins. Weird, right? I mean my name is Ye Jie but I'm not even sure myself about why I have a Ye in my name when I don't even have a single drop of blood from that family. Also, did I mention that I'd known it from a long time that you both are my parents and yet I chose to hide it because I was scared that you would either not like me or you won't want me." Ye Jie spoke the whole thing in one go. "I can't come clean like this."

"Why not?" Xu Mey questioned. She found this very reasonable. There was no way around it. Beating around the bush would only waste the time. It was better to say it face-to-face without any fear. Matter solved!

"And do you think that if I say it like this, they'd listen to me? Why would they believe me? This is ridiculous that after 30 years a stranger comes to your door to knock to say that I'm your son, and you'd just believe him." Ye Jie was going crazy thinking about this all. And now, he really had a headache coming.

"Why wouldn't they?" When Xu Mey asked this question, at the same time, another voice came from the door.

"Why wouldn't we?" Hearing that voice both Xu Mey and Ye Jie froze. They both looked at the door to see Zhu Chen and He Susu looking at them with an odd gaze.

"Oh, Fu*k!" Xu Mey and Ye Jie cursed out loud simultaneously. 'Fate sure is a schemer!' Ye Jie thought to himself.
