Chapter 264 - 111 Rack one’s brain to save the dying and heal the wounded_7
Bai Ran sighed helplessly, "Mom, you forced my hand."
Without glancing at the others again, a smug smile played at the corners of her mouth as she turned and walked upstairs.
Yun Ya withdrew his gaze and returned to his room.
"Mom, don’t be angry, but is this Miss Bai’s child really not big brother’s?" Kang Jinxian asked doubtfully.
Yun Shu snorted coldly, "Just look at that bastard child, where does he resemble your brother? This woman treasures the child more than her own eyeballs. Otherwise, I would have long since taken a hair sample to get a paternity test, would I have let her be so arrogant in this house?"
Moreover, the birth date of the child simply didn’t match up. Even if he were premature, it still wouldn’t match. She had long confirmed that the child was definitely not Yun Shen’s, not knowing which wild man she had been with to produce him, and yet they, the Yun Family, had to bear this disgrace. There were all sorts of nasty talks outside, every time Yun Shu thought about it she felt sick to her stomach.
Kang Jinxian pursed her lips and silently lowered her gaze.
Yun Shu glanced at Yun Shen, who had been silent, "What do you think? You’re surely not planning to let her live here for the rest of her life, right? I feel sick every time I see her face. Find a way to get rid of her and her son for me, quickly."
Tolerating for ten years, why couldn’t she bear it any longer now?
One Ji Yunya was already headache-inducing enough; adding two more, she feared she might die from disgust.
Yun Shen nodded faintly, "I’ll handle it."
Kang Jinxian glanced at Yun Shen sitting across from her, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. She hurriedly bowed her head, hiding the tears that were nearly spilling from her eyes.

"Mommy, why don’t Daddy and Grandma like me?" the little boy asked pitifully, tugging at Bai Ran’s hand before bedtime.
Bai Ran smiled and gently stroked his hair, "It’s not that they don’t like Xi’er, they just don’t know how to like Xi’er. Who made our Xi’er too cute and too outstanding, huh?"
"But Mommy, last time during the parent-teacher meeting at school, all the kids’ dads came but my dad didn’t come. They all said I’m a child without a dad, but my dad is so tall and strong, much stronger than their dads."
Bai Ran struggled to hold back the tears welling in her eyes and kissed Bai Xi’s forehead, "Xi’er’s daddy is the most outstanding man in the world. He’s tall, handsome, and full of knowledge. It’s just that he’s too busy to spend time with Xi’er. But in his heart, he loves Xi’er very much. Your toys and books were all gifts from Daddy, and the birthday presents you receive every year contain all his deep love for you."
Bai Xi frowned his delicate eyebrows, "But why doesn’t he hand them to me personally?"
Bai Ran suddenly didn’t know what to say. Bai Xi carefully wiped away her tears, "Don’t cry, Mommy. I won’t ask anymore, okay?"
My poor Xi’er, she embraced the tender bundle in her arms, her heart wrenching like a knife’s twist.
To prevent her child from lacking a father’s love, she told him Yun Shen was his dad. Although Yun Shen had never embraced him, nor even spared him a direct glance, this was all she could offer her child, even if it was an illusion, it was better than telling him outright that he didn’t have a father.
If one day the child grew up and learned the truth, what would she say when he asked who his father was?
How would Xi’er view her as a mother then?
Until the child fell asleep, and deep into the night, she still had no desire to sleep. She put on a jacket and stood in front of the window, looking at the outside’s deeply chilling night, desolate and endless, much like her heart at the moment.
She remembered back then in the hospital, his serious pledge, "Ranran, I can’t lose you; please, come back to my side."
She, bit by bit, withdrew her hand and said without a change in expression, "I’m sorry Mr. Ning, I have a family. I truly love my husband and my child."
"You’re lying. You have me in your heart. Otherwise, how could you have thrown yourself in front of me to block that knife?"
"Mr. Ning, as a guest at the Yun Family banquet, you encountered trouble, and as the Lady of the Yun House, I had an undeniable responsibility. If this has led Mr. Ning to a misunderstanding, I deeply apologize."
She saw the light fade from his eyes, as he became a shell of a man.
"Ranran, I don’t believe it, no matter what you say, I won’t believe it..."
He left, and after that, he vanished entirely from her world. She inquired indirectly at the school; he had applied to study abroad. And with that, he was gone for ten years.
Life, how many decades does one have...
