Chapter 124 - Finally the truth is known
"What the hell is going on?" Li Zhuoen was already eager to know.
"In fact, Su Yucheng ......," Cen Yuhang played with the phone in his hand, "is my father's illegitimate son."
"Sh...... what! Su Yucheng is actually ...... dad's illegitimate son?!" Li Zhuoen looked at the person across the table with wide eyes, unable to believe such a fact.
"Think it's incredible, don't you?" Cen Yuhang laughed helplessly.
"How could ......" Li Zhuoen has not yet recovered from such shocking news.
"When I first learned this news, I was even more surprised than you are now," Cen Yuhang looked at her, "This is the so-called 'gentry', in this circle, it's not really unusual to have one or two illegitimate children, but what I didn't expect was that my father would have one."
"And what did Su Yucheng's mother seek you out for?" Li Zhuoen asked again.
"I inadvertently
found out about her affair with my father, and I approached her, hoping she
wouldn't tell my mother about it, and she agreed in exchange for letting Su
Yucheng into our company, and in a position at least above manager. I didn't
want to see our harmonious family destroyed by her like that, so I agreed to
the conditions she proposed." Cen Yuhang explained.
"But Su Yucheng's
mother is so gentle, I can't see that she can do something threatening."
Although Li Zhuoen didn't have much contact with Zhao Meijuan, she gave her a
pretty good impression, spoke politely, and didn't look like the kind of person
who could spill her guts.
"It's not really a
threat, Su Yucheng is originally from our Cen family, she asked for a manager position
for him, there is nothing wrong with that, and she did it all for her son, she
didn't ask for anything for herself." Cen Yuhang solved her doubts.
Indeed, there is nothing
wrong with a mother doing this for her son, not to mention that Su Yucheng has
never received his father's love since he was a child, and it is really not too
much to ask for such compensation, and he has no intention of ruining the life
of the current Cen family.
"Putting aside the fact that Su Yucheng's mother is the third party between my parents, I actually feel that she is quite nice, she cares about my father and always asks me something about him, I understand her intentions, so sometimes I go out to meet with her." Cen Yuhang said while observing Li Zhuoen's expression.
So that's it! No wonder she bumped into the two of them meeting several times.
"Then Cen Yuhao and
Su Yucheng and their ......" Li Zhuoen thought of Cen Yuhao's exasperated
face every time he brought up Su Yucheng.
"That's right, they
know about each other," Cen Yuhao returned, "but none of them know what
I know now, and I don't want them to worry about it."
When Li Zhuoen heard
this, she finally understood the context of the matter. No wonder Cen Yuhao was
so disgusted with Su Yucheng, and when Su Yucheng decided to talk to her
clearly, he said, "He is a mean person to talk, he can't afford to lose.”
Also, she finally understands why Su Yucheng would say that he not only has a
close relationship with Cen Yuhao but also has a great relationship with his
big brother. It turns out that the three of them ...... are actually
half-brothers from the same father!
"Zhuoen, I hope you won't tell anyone about my meeting with Su Yucheng's mother, not even my brother, after all, this matter is not good for Su Yucheng's mother, and now that she has passed away, may the deceased rest in peace!" Cen Yuhang pleaded with her.
"This ......" Li Zhuoen thought for a moment and felt that he had a point, after all, when this matter was told, if the Cen family knew about it, it would definitely break the present tranquility.
"My mother will
definitely be sad and upset if she finds out. She usually treats you so well,
just like her own daughter, you shouldn't want to see her sad and upset over
what father did back then in a moment of confusion, right?" Seeing that
she hesitated, he continued.
"But it shouldn't
matter if I just tell Cen Yuhao, right?" Li Zhuoen believed he wouldn't
mention it to his mother either.
"Zhuoen, did Yuhao
ever mention anything to you about him and Su Yucheng before?" Cen Yuhang
asked again.
"No, I asked him
about it, but every time he acted like he was angry." She remembered that
the last time she asked Su Yucheng about it, he was even furious when he found
out.
"He should feel that this matter is very humiliating to him." Cen Yuhang explained.
"Why?" Li Zhuoen didn't understand.
"Because he holds our father in high regard, when he was a child, he worshipped his grandfather, in addition to his father, he felt that he was his role model, but one day, he suddenly found out that the person he always thought of as a role model but cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate child. If you let him know, how can he accept it? How can he open his mouth to tell others about it? You are the one he cares about, he definitely won't want you to know." Cen Yuhang analyzed very thoroughly.
He had a point, no wonder he looked like he hated Su Yucheng every time he saw him.
Li
Zhuoen finally understood, "Then what should I do?"
"This matter is a
scar deep in his heart, just pretend as if you don't know anything." Cen
Yuhang said, turning his gaze to her.
"Okay, then I won't
say anything, let's consider this as a secret between us." Li Zhuoen
thought about it and finally nodded her head, if she asked it would only
uncover the seemingly healed scar in his heart again, then she would rather
never ask.
"Thank you for
understanding." Only after hearing her say that did Cen Yuhang breathe a
sigh of relief.
"Big brother, don't
say that, you are the one who has given a lot for this family." For all
these things that Cen Yuhang did silently, Li Zhuoen was touched.
"It's all I should
do," Cen Yuhao smiled at her, "Let's go back soon, my brother will be
anxious if he doesn't see you in a while."
"He's not in a hurry!" Li Zhuoen hastily denied, but when she thought of him, a smile could not help but appear on her face.
"Let's go!" All these subtle changes in her expression were seen in Cen Yuhang's eyes.
"Young madam,
you're finally back, the vice president has been looking for you for a long
time." Li Xu saw her at the door and said.
"Sorry, I went out to get some air, where is he?" Li Zhuoen guessed that Cen Yuhao must have been angry.
"It's inside." Li Xu said and led her inside.
"Vice President, we found young madam." Coming to Cen Yuhao's side, Li Xu said to him.
"I'm back, and I heard from Assistant Li that you just asked for me." Li Zhuoen said and sat down beside him.
"Where did you go?" Cen Yuhao's expression was a little serious. Not seeing her just now had startled him, and he was worried that it was Su Yucheng who had done something to her. Now he was not sure what Su Yucheng was thinking, so he did not dare to take it lightly.
"That, I just saw
that all of you went out, I was sitting here alone and was quite bored, so I
went out for a walk." Li Zhuoen explained.
"Then why didn't
you answer when I called?" Cen Yuhao's expression hadn't eased off.
"Did you call
me?" Li Zhuoen took out her phone and looked at it, "Uh, I just
remembered that I ...... muted it." She said cautiously, glancing in his
direction.
"Li Zhuoen, when
will you change this carelessness of yours!" Cen Yuhao did get angry
anyway, but because it was at a funeral, he kept his volume low.
"I just went out
for a moment, it's not a big deal." Li Zhuoen didn't understand why he was
so angry.
"You're still
reasonable, aren't you!" Hearing her muttering, Cen Yuhao's brow frowned
even tighter.
"Why are you so
angry? I'm back, aren't I? It's not like the people here are going to eat me
up." Li Zhuoen felt that he was making a big deal out of it.
"If I told you to do something, you must do it! Where's all the nonsense!" When Cen Yuhao saw that she still dared to talk back, his anger grew even more.
"But why are you so angry?" She had only been gone for ten minutes or so.
"Because I will worry about you!" After Cen Yuhao said this out loud, he realized that he accidentally said something out of his heart, and he blamed this dead woman for talking to provoke him.
Realizing that he said
the wrong thing, Cen Yuhao pursed his lips and turned his head away.
So it was because he was
worried about her! When Li Zhuoen heard this explanation from him, all the
dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared. Looking at his slightly embarrassed
face because of the confession, she was very happy in her heart, haha, what a cute guy!
"I'm fine, aren't
I? Don't worry!" Li Zhuoen said to him with an obedient look.
When is this dead woman
going to save him the trouble? Cen Yuhao still had a gloomy face, but his heart
was actually not as hot as it was just now.
The funeral was over, and all the people who came to attend went back one by one. Li Zhuoen and Cen Yuhao came to Su Yucheng and said goodbye to him. Knowing the relationship between Su Yucheng and the Cen family, she took a closer look at Su Yucheng, not noticing it before, but now she realized that he did look a lot like Cen Yuhao's father.
But look at his gloomy aura, she felt very heartbroken.
"Let's go." Cen Yuhao said as he stepped aside from her.
Li Zhuoen moved her lips, the words she wanted to say to comfort Su Yucheng never came out, perhaps for him now, he didn't need it, right? The reason is that every time you comfort him, it makes him remember more deeply the fact that his mother has passed away.
When going back, Cen
Yuhang offered to go back with them in the car, the two did not feel any
strange.
All three did not speak and seemed to be thinking about their own things. Li Zhuoen looked out the window and remembered what big brother had just told her. Now she finally understood all the relationships, but there was one thing she was still a little confused about. She remembered that Cen Yuhao had said to her that he said Su Yucheng was someone she couldn't afford to mess with. Even though they are half-brothers, it's not to the point that she can't afford to mess with them, right?
Turning back, she looked at Cen Yuhao, who was sitting next to her, "Yuhao, you and Su ......"
