Chapter 687 - 674
In the end, Yu Sangwan was still taken to Helian Shuang’s courtyard.
"Wanwan, wipe your face and have a drink of water." Helian Shuang completely changed her demeanor, holding Yu Sangwan’s hand.
"Stop crying, this matter... it’s just fate messing with us!"
Yu Sangwan looked at her quietly, her tone flat, "Go on then! Why is it like this?"
"Ah..." Helian Shuang sighed, her eyes already red, "Did Jinxuan ever tell you he had a brother?"
Yu Sangwan frowned, another brother?
She nodded, "I know, he’s Fei Xuan’s twin brother, Yuxuan."
"Twin brother?" Helian Shuang chuckled lightly, shaking her head, "He is a brother, yes, but... not a twin brother."
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, momentarily speechless. What is this about?
Helian Shuang looked at her, a bit desolately, "The relationship between Jinxuan’s father and me is not good, as you know, but do you know why?"
Yu Sangwan was bewildered; she had heard it was because Helian Shuang was too domineering... To be honest, men indeed don’t like women to be like that.
"Ha." Helian Shuang laughed, "Have you heard that it’s because I’m too domineering?"
"..." Yu Sangwan said nothing, just lowered her eyes.
"It’s really laughable." Helian Shuang sneered, with a hint of helplessness, "Yes, I am domineering, I admit that... But the most important reason is, Jinxuan’s father had someone outside..."
"..." Yu Sangwan was astonished; she had truly never thought of this!
To be honest, compared to Helian Shuang, Lu Yusen was much more approachable. Naturally, Yu Sangwan was more inclined towards Lu Yusen.
Helian Shuang’s face was full of sorrow, "When I was pregnant with Fei Xuan, that woman’s child was also in her belly, our children were born at the same time! When I found out about this, how do you expect me to accept it? At that time, I felt the entire world had collapsed!"
Yu Sangwan remained silent, feeling startled.
As a woman, she felt sympathy for Helian Shuang at that moment. No matter what, a man cheating and betraying the family is unforgivable.
"After the incident, that woman... I dealt with her!"
As Helian Shuang said this, her fists clenched unconsciously.
Yu Sangwan frowned; she really wanted to ask her how she dealt with that woman? But after thinking about it... she ended up asking nothing.
"But what about the child?" Helian Shuang’s eyes were a little wet, "That child was the same age as my Fei Xuan... What was I to do? Lu Yusen begged me fervently! I couldn’t harm a child, I had no choice but to bring him back..."
The past was unbearable to recall, and she choked up once more.
"Bringing him back, how could I explain it? I had no choice but to say he was Fei Xuan’s twin brother... This is how the Lu Family’s pair of fraternal twins came to be!"
Yu Sangwan felt a surge of emotions, holding Helian Shuang’s hand in return. "Auntie..."
"But..." Helian Shuang suddenly frowned, her expression turning fierce, "Do you know? Everyone has a heart that doesn’t know contentment! I already accepted it, raised this child... But he should never, ever, have the nerve to try and surpass Jinxuan in everything!"
Recollections were recounted one by one.
"Lu Yusen kept saying he wanted to make up to Yuxuan, to give him the best education, and at a young age, he started studying business and was preparing to send him to military school! Did he think I didn’t know? He wanted Yuxuan to compete with Jinxuan!"
Every mother has the right to her own emotions towards her own son.
Looking at Helian Shuang, Yu Sangwan suddenly felt that she too was a pitiable person.
"But..." Yu Sangwan said, "Didn’t Yuxuan go missing? What does he have left to compete with Jinxuan?"
"Nonsense!"
Helian Shuang was full of hatred, speaking without restraint, regardless of any decorum, "For so many years, Lu Yusen has been looking for that bastard child! I helped him cover up this scandal, and what was the outcome? He never stopped for even a moment! I can give that bastard a bite to eat, but I absolutely can’t let him snatch Jinxuan’s things!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was helpless, "Auntie, I think you..."
"Wanwan!" Helian Shuang urgently grabbed Yu Sangwan, not listening to a word, "You like Jinxuan so much, don’t you want him to live well? He’s President now! No one can compete with him anymore!"
Yu Sangwan did not agree, "Auntie, have you asked Jinxuan if this is what he wants you to plan for him? If sitting in that position is truly what he desires?"
"..." Helian Shuang was taken aback; she had never considered this question. All along, she had been doing everything according to her own will.
But right now, she didn’t know how to reflect, "Why wouldn’t it be? The most honorable person in the Empire! My son, he’s the best!"
"But." Yu Sangwan shook her head helplessly, sighing, "He’s no longer your son, he’s become someone else! You can’t even hear him call you ’Mom’, are you okay with that?"
"..."
Helian Shuang was stunned, her gaze dimming.
Yu Sangwan continued to persuade, "Auntie, Jinxuan is just Jinxuan, but now you’ve turned him into another person! This person isn’t the real him! Even if he becomes the most honorable person in the Empire, what’s the point if he doesn’t know his true self?"
"Auntie, a person’s happiness isn’t measured by status. Jinxuan has forgotten himself, forgotten his wife, forgotten his children, and become someone else; he won’t be happy!"
Yu Sangwan spoke while kneeling in front of Helian Shuang, "Auntie, Wanwan begs you! Let Jinxuan return! I know you’ve been wronged, but... your thoughts can’t replace Jinxuan’s! Why should Jinxuan bear the grudges of the previous generation? He shouldn’t live the way you want him to; he should live the way he wants to!"
Helian Shuang was in a daze, her face pale.
Muttering to herself, "No, no, I’m not wrong, I’m doing this all for his own good!"
"Auntie..."
"Wanwan!"
Helian Shuang suddenly knelt down as well, grabbing Yu Sangwan, "Even if Auntie isn’t good, you can’t recognize Jinxuan!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was taken aback, "Why?"
"Jinxuan has been Ashi for five years!" Helian Shuang cried, "He’s not Jinxuan anymore; he’s Ashi! He used to have symptoms of a split personality; if you shock him like this, he won’t be able to handle it!"
Yu Sangwan was startled, yes... Jinxuan was unwell!
Helian Shuang’s trembling hand held hers, "Listen to me, Jinxuan’s mental state has always been bad; five years ago, after returning from the Fu Family, he took a long time to stabilize! During that time, he was like a newborn baby! Didn’t know who he was... couldn’t talk, couldn’t walk, needed help even for eating and washing!"
"..." Yu Sangwan was shocked; she didn’t know! "What happened five years ago?"
