Chu Yufeng's face darkened, and he frowned, asking, ”Since you were the one who gave birth to her, why didn't you want to kill her?”
Maybe it was because Chu Yufeng had asked too many questions, but Elder Chu's face suddenly darkened, and he said fiercely, ”Whatever you do, it's my business!” It's none of your business! ”
”Dad, she's my woman.” I know if she has anything to do with you. I know if you hate Yu Huan because she was born to another man or not, so you don't even let Aunt Lan see you? ”How can you be so selfish?”
”Bam!”
A loud sound was heard as Chu Yufeng was smashed to the ground with a single punch. Elder Chu had been very strong since his youth, and now that he was so angry, his attacks were heavy.
Chu Yufeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat it out. He raised his head and looked coldly at the trembling man beside him.
”Am I right?” He spoke in a mocking tone, he truly didn't feel that anything was wrong with Elder Chu doing such a thing.
When Chu Yufeng stood up, Elder Chu grabbed him by the collar and pushed him under the willow tree. Chu Yufeng's back hit the tree, and with a tremble, the willow leaf fell off.
”Haha!” Dad, this is the first time I've ever seen you really angry. ” Chu Yufeng laughed without a care, but his smile did not reach his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, ”Since you care so much about Aunt Lan, why don't you let them recognize each other? Aunt Lan loves children so much and is paralyzed. Do you know how lonely she is? ”
”What do you know!” Elder Chu's eyes were red as he roared.
Chu Yufeng stared at Elder Chu, thinking that it was because his words had angered Elder Chu that his reaction was so huge.
”Isn't it? You don't have the right to make them suffer. Do you think you can spare a month every year to accompany Aunt Lan? ”Otherwise, how does her habit of sleeping late come about?”
”Chu Yufeng, what do you know! If only it's that simple! ” Elder Chu clenched his teeth and roared, his eyes full of pain.
Chu Yufeng was stunned. His heart was filled with doubts. Wasn't it because Elder Chu was selfish that he didn't want them to recognize him? Why was that?
”What is the truth? Whose daughter is Yu Huan? Why can't they recognize each other? ” Chu Yufeng asked hurriedly, his voice full of hesitation.
”The reason why your Aunt Lan is paralyzed is because of Yu Huan!” Elder Chu snorted, his eyes full of anger. ”Your Aunt Lan's hard work in pregnant women caused her to lose a lot of blood when she was born, leading to paralysis.”
Chu Yufeng was stunned. This was the first time he knew how Ruo Lan got paralyzed, but even so, it wasn't enough to make Elder Chu so resentful and joyful.
”So you let someone carry Yu Huan away and told Aunt Lan that her child died prematurely?”
Elder Chu sighed deeply and let him go. His eyes were conflicted as he sat down on the lawn.
Chu Yufeng followed suit and sat down. He couldn't wait to find out; he didn't want anyone else to suffer.
”Indeed, that is what I said. Fortunately, Ruo Lan believed me, so she thought that the child was dead all these years.” Elder Chu heaved a long sigh, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life. ”Yu Huan is Aunt Lan's life's pain. Please don't mention it.”
Chu Yufeng frowned when he heard this. Even though he had been paralyzed because of Yu Huan Lan, he was still his own child. Why did he hate her so much?
”Dad, you don't understand how a woman feels about her child. Aunt Lan wouldn't do as you say. Why would she resent her child?”
Elder Chu's face darkened, he clenched his fists, ”You must not have known that Ruo Lan had once suffered from depression, right?”
”Aunt Lan has been suffering from depression?” Chu Yufeng asked in surprise. This was the first time he had heard about this. He had never expected that Aunt Lan's gentle personality could lead to depression.
”That period of time was truly worse than death. I watched as she got skinnier and skinnier every day and was completely terrified. She even started to commit suicide every day. I don't know how she managed to survive that period of time.” Elder Chu was still talking about it with lingering fear, the vicissitudes of life on his face became even heavier.
Chu Yufeng pursed his lips and did not say a word, his heart full of doubt. ”Is Aunt Lan suffering from depression because her child died?”
”There is such a factor.”
”Dad, you didn't even get to the point. Just whose child is Yu Huan?”
Chu Yufeng's question caused Elder Chu's expression to freeze. He turned to Chu Yufeng and asked in a low voice, ”You really want to know?”
Chu Yufeng was stunned. He looked at him in surprise, but did not say anything.
”If I tell you about this, you will face these two choices. Ruo Lan and Yu Huan, you must choose either of them. Are you sure you want to know?”
Chu Yufeng hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Ruo Lan sat on the wheelchair and looked at the father and son under the willow tree, her lips curled up into a gentle smile. She sighed, ”If Big Brother Chu was so close to this child, things wouldn't have gotten so tense.”
Butler Li coughed dryly but did not respond.
”His three sons, seeing him, acted like strangers. It's all because of his bad temper and his distance from the children.”
A cool breeze blew past, causing a strand of her hair to flutter about. Her eyes flickered with a bright light.
”Actually, the old master is only slightly strict with them.” Butler Li said.
