Chapter 111: Chapter 111: The Groom Ran Away on the Wedding Night (Part 22)

Actually, if the Yun Family hadn’t approached him, he wouldn’t have thought of seeking them out at the moment.

What he told Sister Ah Chen was true; he had no feelings for those strangers he had never interacted with, even if Xiang Yue was his biological mother, it was hard to be moved.

In fact, he thought that recognizing them might not necessarily be a good thing.

Of course, he would definitely settle accounts for being schemed against, but not now, as he hadn’t fully matured yet and was planning to do so sometime in the future.

Unexpectedly, the Yun Family suddenly came to his door.

Sister Ah Chen hinted to him that his parents were recently going through a divorce, which was initiated by Xiang Yue but Yun Xiangming disagreed. When thinking about it, there was something peculiar about it.

Xiang Yue felt her son’s indifference, which made her feel sour inside.

But seeing how excellent her son was, she was also relieved.

Her son was handsome and was the top scorer in the science stream of the college entrance exams. As long as he hadn’t suffered, there was a sense of comfort in her heart. Now she was no longer thinking about the divorce and was completely focused on her son.

Xiang Yue no longer brought up the divorce, and Yun Xiangming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the fact that his son had grown to be this outstanding was beyond expectation.

Considering Qingqing’s inner distortions and her hatred towards him and Xiao Yue, he didn’t think she would let this child go easily. Something must have gone wrong in between. But now that Xiao Yue wanted to see her son more, he was reluctant to make any unnecessary moves.

Nonetheless, having such an outstanding son, Yun Xiangming couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Back then, he sought a woman outside to have a child because this child was left to fend for itself outside, and with Qingqing making a fuss, he concluded that the child would not grow well, hence the need to raise another heir.

As for this child, it would be enough to bring him back in the future as a rich second generation; having suffered for years before being found, this child would presumably be content and grateful.

But now things were different.

Since his and Xiao Yue’s child had turned out so well, he would definitely be nurtured as the heir.

He wasn’t foolish; in front of such an excellent son, he wouldn’t neglect to cultivate him, and instead focus on raising unsatisfactory illegitimate children. As it turns out, those two children, despite attending various extracurricular classes from a young age, were quite average, far less exceptional than Xie Yan, who grew up outside.

Xie Yan, by his own efforts, had gotten into the top university, which is not something everyone could achieve, nor could it be taught through tutoring. This was an overwhelming intelligence.

"Xiao Yan," Yun Xiangming suddenly called out, "now that you have confirmed we are your biological parents, come back with us to Jiang City next weekend to meet your grandfather, and also transfer your household registration to Jiang City and change your surname."

After all, cultivating him as the heir of the Yun Family meant these things had to be handled first.

Xie Yan paused with the cup in his hand, casually placing it on the table; the juice inside swirled, indicating his displeasure.

"I won’t transfer my household registration, nor will I change my surname." His face was indifferent, his gaze level as he looked at Yun Xiangming. Such arrogance, expecting him to change his registration and surname as soon as they met, acting as if it was an honor?

Being born as their son was his misfortune.

Based on the information from Sister Ah Chen, he had already deduced that Yun Xiangming might have known his whereabouts and sat back watching all along. Why Yun Xiangming condoned this affair, he wasn’t curious.

He was only wondering whether the old man of the Yun Family knew.

He heard the old man was a shrewd person, so perhaps he knew too.

That made things interesting.

Such a place, he absolutely would not go back to; it meant nothing to him.

However, when it came to competing against the Yun Family’s business in the future, he wouldn’t hold back.

He was a vengeful person; if anyone bullied him, he had to bully them back. It wasn’t a matter of not taking revenge, just that he didn’t have the ability yet, so he could only endure for now.

Yun Xiangming’s expression changed, wanting to say something, but Xiang Yue pressed his hand down and said, "If you don’t like it, then don’t change it. Do whatever feels comfortable. It’s just a surname. I think the surname Xie is quite good; Xie Yan sounds much better than Yun Yan."

Xie Yan’s expression softened slightly, and he said to her, "I will never change it, there’s no room for compromise on this. If you’re dissatisfied, then just pretend you never had me as a son."

Whether they were in his life or not didn’t matter; he was already an adult. Forced to drop out after the first year of junior high, he had no hopes left for parents like these.

Now he only wanted to study and start a business, achieve success early, and buy Sister Ah Chen some beautiful jewelry.

His biological mother wasn’t bad; perhaps he should also prepare a gift for her during the holidays.

As for the others, he regarded them as air, invisible to him.

"Don’t change it," Xiang Yue said. "If you don’t want to change it, then don’t. No one can force you."

Having finally found her son, Xiang Yue naturally agreed to everything.

She knew what little schemes Yun Xiangming had. Their relationship was not as it used to be, they were almost about to get divorced, and now, between her son and Yun Xiangming, she would definitely choose her son. Never mind that the son didn’t share her surname, even if he did and didn’t want to change it to hers, she wouldn’t be angry.

As long as he was happy.

Yun Xiangming was consistently held back by Xiang Yue, and finally, he said, "Can you take some time over the weekend to go with us to Jiang City and meet your grandfather?"

Not changing it now, then slowly do it.

The Yun Family was so wealthy, he didn’t believe this kid would be indifferent.

Xie Yan said he would consider it.

Upon returning to where he lived, Xie Yan called Ah Chen. At this time, Sister Ah Chen should be reading a book and definitely not asleep.

Sure enough, the call was quickly answered.

"Ah Yin, what made you call?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Yan felt cheerful all over, but thinking of the arrogant Yun Xiangming, he felt displeasure once again.

But he wasn’t in a position yet to trouble him.

"Sister Ah Chen, I had dinner with them today. Yun Xiangming started by asking me to transfer my household registration, change my surname, and acknowledge my ancestry. I didn’t agree and said I never would."

Ah Chen: "You can refuse anything you don’t want to do."

"She wasn’t too bad." Xie Yan added.

Ah Chen understood that "she" referred to Xiang Yue; indeed, she was decent.

"If you feel comfortable with her, you can interact more; if not, just ignore it," she said.

Xie Yan continued, "She doesn’t seem to know those things. I want to tell her, but I’m not sure what her choices would be upon knowing. If she doesn’t cause a fuss, it won’t affect me much, maybe just a bit disappointed. If she does, I worry if she might suffer. It seems the Yun Family has been keeping her in the dark. She’s kind, perhaps I’m not as cold-hearted and don’t want her to get into trouble."

That’s why he held back from telling them twice that Yun Qing was the one who made him suffer.

He wasn’t capable of fighting back yet; growth indeed was slow, making him anxious with waiting.

"She’s remarkable," Ah Chen praised, "so you don’t have to worry about that, she’s also very clever."

"Whether to tell her or not, it’s up to you. Think carefully."

Such decisions, Ah Chen certainly wouldn’t make for him.

Xie Yan was silent for a while: "If I don’t tell, she might not go through with the divorce. Yun Xiangming has two other kids outside, and she was considering a divorce because of that. My appearance might have made her hesitate."

"Sister Ah Chen, I’ve decided to tell her the truth."

"Then tell her."

"Sister Ah Chen, good night." See you in dreams.

"Good night."

Ending the call, Xie Yan went to Yuan Zhicheng’s room and woke him up.

Yuan Zhicheng opened his eyes and was startled to see someone standing by the bed. My boss, do you have to be so scary?

"Boss, what is it?"

"Help me sort out those materials, the photos you took of me suffering before," Xie Yan said, standing there, "and recently, let Hu Zi and the others follow you wherever you go. They might not do anything, but just in case."

Yuan Zhicheng suddenly became alert: "Sure."

He wasn’t worried about safety.

Lv Chen would make arrangements; with so much going on with Xie Yan, could she rest easy without making any arrangements?

On Ah Chen’s end, she dialed the lead bodyguard Wu Jiuming: "There have been some issues lately, protect Ah Yin and Yuan Zhicheng well."

"Understood, boss."

Xiang Yue never expected her son would personally call her and ask to meet alone.

She made up an excuse about meeting a girlfriend, and Yun Xiangming wasn’t suspicious.

In the café, she saw Xie Yan.

Without saying much, Xie Yan pushed a manila envelope in front of her: "After thinking it over, I should talk to you about these things."
