After hanging up the phone, Zuo Lengyue felt as though her heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife.
This woman, who was revered by everyone in the underground world, couldn't help but tear up. Even Wan Kuangxiao didn't dare to believe that Zuo Lengyue would have such a reaction.
Zuo Lengyue, Zuo Lengyue, I didn't expect you to be a sentimental person. Wan Kuangxiao sighed in his heart. Back then, when Zuo Lengyue was pregnant with Bai Xiaoye, many people knew about it. Old Topsy-Turvy Wu Qiuzi, Shadowless Godly Thief, Taisui Zhang Jiazhi, and the other sworn brothers all knew about it.
After Xu Yun's father got into trouble, they naturally wanted to care about Zuo Lengyue. It wasn't because she was powerful enough to be called the empress, but because of her relationship with Xu Yun's father.
Also, because of Xu Yun's father's prestige, it was natural for his wife to be taken care of by his brothers in the underworld when she was pregnant. However, Zuo Lengyue rejected all good intentions. She gave birth to the child, but she didn't allow anyone to visit her. She directly disappeared from everyone's sight.
After a few years, Zuo Lengyue reappeared in Hua Xia's underground world with a little disciple, Bai Xiaoye, whom she claimed to have adopted. However, people with discerning eyes could see that Zuo Lengyue was just deceiving herself. Everyone knew that Bai Xiaoye was her flesh and blood.
Since she insisted on denying it, outsiders couldn't say anything. Moreover, her man probably wouldn't have the chance to come back. The only thing that everyone felt was a pity was that Xu Yun and his half-sister, who shared the same father but had a different mother, might be separated forever.
However, fate made fools of people. Although some people seemed to be on two parallel lines that would never intersect, they would still collide due to some unexpected events.
Zuo Lengyue had always hoped to hide this truth forever, but she didn't expect that Bai Xiaoye would still meet Xu Yun in Pan Garden. Perhaps this was the arrangement of fate. Some things could never be changed.
"Lengyue." Wan Kuangxiao wasn't the kind of person who knew how to comfort others. "Don't worry. With Xu Yun around, Xiaoye will be fine."
"How could he be fine? How unqualified am I to be a mother … Hehe … "Zuo Lengyue forced a smile," How much do I regret my decision at that time? How selfish I was. How impulsive I was to lie. I've kept it in my heart for more than 20 years. How much do I fear that the lie would be exposed one day … "
Letting out a sigh, Zuo Lengyue continued, "But paper can't wrap fire. It's a lie, and it will be exposed sooner or later."
"Some lies are well-intentioned." Wan Kuangxiao said indifferently, "I understand why you did that at that time. You were worried that you wouldn't be able to face your daughter asking you where her father went in the future. Sigh, life is unpredictable. If something happens, there will be a way to get through it. Don't worry, I believe that his son is strong, and so is his daughter. "
Zuo Lengyue quickly put away her worried look and put on the frightening coldness on her face again. "It's good to know that they are all right. Thanks. "
"It's nothing. You don't have to be so courteous with me. We've been friends for so many years … "Wan Kuangxiao smiled.
Zuo Lengyue looked at Wan Kuangxiao and said, "If you still treat me as an old friend, then do me a favor. Xiaoye has been working by my side since she was young. She doesn't have the experience of dealing with things alone. I'll leave their safety to you. "
Wan Kuangxiao forced a smile. He also didn't know where that little brat Xu Yun went. "Don't worry, Xu Yun is very experienced. He won't let his sister suffer."
…
Xu Yun chased after Bai Xiaoye for a long time before he finally caught up with her. Bai Xiaoye had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only use this method.
"I know it's hard to accept," Xu Yun said, "I also find it hard to accept. My head is still buzzing."
"What's so hard to accept? My master told me that she's my mother! How can I accept it?! " Bai Xiaoye's emotions were very unstable. "When I was young, I asked her why I don't have a mother. She said that my mother is dead! Why did she do this to me? Why?! Why did she say that I don't have a mother when she's clearly my mother?! "
Xu Yun tried to calm her down. "No matter what, at least she's always by your side. What she did was wrong and was a jerk, but she must have her difficulties. We can understand each other's problems. Don't push yourself too hard. This will only embarrass everyone. "
Bai Xiaoye shook her head. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I don't have a mother. I didn't have one when I was young, and I don't have one now!"
"I'm just saying it out of anger. I'm just saying it. " Xu Yun said, "Actually, after the shock, I'm quite glad … I'm glad that I have a biological sister."
"You …" Bai Xiaoye wasn't as magnanimous as Xu Yun. She really couldn't accept this brother of hers for the time being.
Xu Yun smiled. "If you want to talk about anger, I should be angrier, right? Our dad gave birth to me and threw me to a friend. Then, he went to enjoy his two-person world with your mom … Hehehe, I don't know where he went until now. I haven't even seen him once. He's not a thing … But I'm not angry, right? "
Perhaps only Xu Yun himself knew the bitterness in his smile.
Bai Xiaoye opened her mouth in shock. How magnanimous was he? If she were in Xu Yun's shoes, wouldn't she break down even more now?
That's right. It's not their fault. It's their fault for having an unreliable father.
"Some things are destined. We can't change them." Xu Yun said, "Even if you suddenly learn an unchangeable truth one day and can't accept it, you have to learn how to accept it. Then you must learn to accept it, learn to endure it, and learn to adapt. "
Bai Xiaoye didn't say anything. She just lowered her head. These words sounded simple, but she couldn't accept them from the bottom of her heart.
"Time can wash everything away," Xu Yun said. "Everything will get better slowly."
"You're really my brother?" Bai Xiaoye looked up at Xu Yun. Hmph, this guy who looks like a jerk is actually my brother … Thinking about it carefully, there's an inexplicable sense of closeness.
When Bai Xiaoye first came into contact with Xu Yun, she really hated him. However, as time passed, she found that Xu Yun had an inexplicable sense of security and trust. This feeling was definitely not the kind of infatuation. Could this be the power of blood?
"Let's do a blood test?" Xu Yun raised a finger.
Bai Xiaoye was amused. "There's no scientific basis for this. How can you believe this?"
"It's a little unreliable, but the blood test has always been a standard since the Three Kingdoms era. No one has ever doubted it." Xu Yun said, "Since we're modern people, let's do a DNA test when we go back."
"Why? A paternity test? We're siblings. Are you mistaken? "Bai Xiaoye really admired Xu Yun." If we're going to do it, I'm going to do it with … her! "
Xu Yun obviously knew that the "her" Bai Xiaoye was talking about was Zuo Lengyue. "Do you think she's joking with you? Did she use this lie because she's afraid that you and I … "
"Bah! Aren't you ashamed? If it's true, I'm your sister. You have to watch your words in front of me! "Bai Xiaoye said angrily.
So what if I'm your sister? You're not a child anymore. You're already an adult.
"Forget it. Regardless of whether it's true or not, I've already acknowledged you as my sister. This is fate." Xu Yun: "What do you think?"
"It's good to acknowledge you as my sister. Then, treat me to a drink." Bai Xiaoye really needed alcohol to numb herself.
Xu Yun glanced at the sun in the sky and the shadow under his feet. It's only ten in the morning, so it's a little inappropriate to drink. "Then, let's continue walking. If we see a bar that's open, I'll treat you to a drink."
