Chapter 262 - Miserable Past (1/2)

Jun Zishen raised an eyebrow before he pulled open a drawer. Taking something out of it, he placed it on the table before pushing it towards her.

Her expressions shifted slightly as she glanced at the cards in front of her. One of them was the crystal card that was given to Jun Zixuan by Jun Zishen. And another was a black card. She picked up the black card before taking a closer look at it.

It had Jun Zixuan's name engraved in golden letters along with the logo of Eminence behind it. ”Did he give this to you?” She glanced at him. No wonder he was not surprised now that Jun Zixuan's face was all over the headlines along with his identity in bold letters.

”As a compensation for being his sperm donor,” Her brows tugged together slightly while the man continued, ”That's what he said that day. Anyways, don't look at me with such pity. I deserve all of this,” He massaged the spot between his brows.

She concluded the day he was speaking about was the day when Jun Zixuan and her had a cold war. She did not know whether it could be called a cold war though given that they made up before sleeping.

She controlled her mind which was spiraling towards wayward thoughts before settling her focus back on the point.

”Well…'' Yu Mei lowered her head slightly as she leaned back on the chair. Jun Zixuan was unfeeling towards his father and she did not blame it on him.

Had Jun Zishen stood up for his wife in the past, then Shen Lihua would not have had to go through all that humiliation or mental torture in this family. Jun Zixuan, given his gifted maturity, had observed everything at that age but he could not do anything. He did not have the power to fight this powerful family. So, he could just watch his mother getting mentally and emotionally abused in one way or another while he could not do anything.

Maybe all that internal conflicts and unsaid struggle, those humiliations of having being called useless and abnormal, being treated unfairly…maybe all that made him the man he is today. Right now, he has the power to crush countless such royal families within a snap of his fingers.

But towards this family and his father, he is detached and unfeeling.

”You don't have anything to say?” Jun ZIshen asked. He glanced at the girl who has been with his son in recent days. He did not know her that well until she approached him…almost begged him to play chess with her. He wanted to reject it as he did but she confidently said that 'You are afraid to lose'. And successfully, it awakened his competitive spirit.

And now, he would not deny his liking towards her. The more he knew her, the more he understood why his stoic was son was wrapped around her fingers.

”Uh…I am not that good with all these,” Yu Mei smiled awkwardly, ”I even addressed Old Man Yu as my grandfather after..uh…after a lot of tears and threats. I tend to mess up the family thing so I won't make any comment here,” She quickly waved her hands. If she could solve their father-son issue by speaking, then she would have gladly done so.

But she knew that she might cause further damage to their relationship if she spoke. She had that amount of confidence in her destructive abilities.

Jun Zishen laughed, finding the girl too adorable, ”Back then, we really wanted a daughter like you,” He thought back to the days when there were no issues between him and Shen Lihua. They thought their second child was a daughter but then Boyan came.

”No No, you can't have me as a daughter. Who wants to be Zixuan's sister?'' She glanced at him with her wide eyes.

Jun Zishen threw his head back as he laughed, the sound of his laughter reverberating inside the huge study.
