335 For the Harem (2/2)
Ye Shuang's brain scrolled through her CPU-like memory, and three seconds later, she said, ”But I remember… you said your mother is dead?”
Did this man not come to find his big sister and possibly a surviving father? How did things change so suddenly that he was looking for his mother? Ye Shuang was befuddled, but after starting the story, Cedrick found it easy to continue. ”No, I found out some things from a source, and the woman that I thought was my mother was really not my mother.”
Cedrick sighed. ”Someone told me that my mother was actually the retired helper of my real mother, and she got some money from her to take care of us, and then she eventually moved into the family and lived with us… Then, after my parents divorced, my father only wanted his real children, which are the three girls, and I stayed to live with the woman.”
”…Sounds complicated.” Ye Shuang scratched her chin.
Su Zheng frowned. ”Hmm…”
”I also think the whole thing is a mess!” Cedrick bit on his lips, and even the roots of his hair felt like they were bowing out of depression. He looked downhearted. ”I originally thought that I had no more family in this world, but my dead mother's diary told me I actually have a father and three elder sisters… So, I made it my life's plan to look for them, but now, suddenly, someone told me that they actually had nothing to do with me and that the woman whom I thought was my mother was a fake one.
”And my real mother… handed me over to someone else with some cash and didn't even care to find out about my life for thirty years!”
At the end, Cedrick started yelling like he was trying to vent his emotion.
Ye Shuang did not know what to say. She thought about it and said, ”Perhaps she has reasons for not reaching out to you?”
”But I hear she is pretty well-off and successful in life!” Cedrick glared at Ye Shuang but soon apologized. ”I'm sorry, I seem to have lost control of my emotions for a moment there.”
Brother Shuang waved casually. ”Apology accepted.”
Su Zheng's eyes were swirling. She pulled on Ye Shuang's sleeves. ”Brother Ye, I feel like this story is so complicated. Is it because of language barrier? Can you help me translate?”
Ye Shuang felt awkward. ”It's not the language barrier…”
It was mainly the issue of intelligence and comprehension. ”How about this? We'll explain everything to you after we have some clues. It's difficult to summarize the situation in simple terms now.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
After temporarily dealing with Su Zheng, Ye Shuang continued the questioning. ”What do you plan to do then? I mean, have you confirmed the current situation? First, is the news believable, and if it is, what do you plan to do? You came to Feng Yuan City because you already have news about your biological mother, right?”
Cedrick was silent for a moment before raising his sad eyes to look at Ye Shuang. ”Actually, I contacted Mr. Han just as we landed, and then he told me something incredibly shocking on the phone…
”My biological mother is apparently currently pursuing you.”
”Pfft!” Both Ye Shuang and Su Zheng choked. Even though the latter did not get the story background, she had no problem understanding this simple sentence.
”You mean, Madam Grace is your mother?”
”There's a shameless woman who's currently targeting Brother Ye?”
Both gasps happened in unison. Even though they were caused by different things, the shock that they received was similar.
Faced with Cedrick's silence and furtive accusatory glances, Ye Shuang confirmed the answer. She rubbed her temples to try to process this unbelievable information and also made sure to inspect the team that was keeping a surveillance on her. Very good, they are far enough away to not hear the conversation.
”If Madam Grace is really your mother, then there is going to be trouble.” Ye Shuang gritted her teeth and said harshly, ”This lady's background is complicated. You have to understand that since both Brother Han and I are in Feng Yuan City, it is not for something simple.”
Cedrick sighed. ”A biological mother that treated me like I wasn't born for thirty years, I doubt I have any semblance of importance in her life.
”I've been trying to find my so-called father and sisters because I believed they are my family and they have some reason to leave me and my 'mother'.
”But a mother who knew about my existence and chose to abandon me, I don't think I will be able to form any relationship with her. Honestly, the reason I wish to find her is because I want to ask her a question.”
”Why she abandoned you?” Ye Shuang asked probingly, and when she saw Cedrick nod, she said hesitantly, ”If we're following the logic of that lady…”
It's probably because she didn't want to have a child to destroy her harem life… No, no, no! That truth is too cruel; I can't tell him that!
