Chapter 938: Chapter 757: Brilliant as the Stars, Only Deep Affection Cannot Be Betrayed

In the dead of night, after Yu Yuanshen brought Youxuan home.

Yu Youxuan spent the evening enjoying KFC and playing at the amusement park, feeling very happy.

However, Yu Yuanshen’s mood was heavier than visiting a grave.

He pushed open the door of the villa and changed into slippers in the foyer.

At this moment, the Yu Family villa, with its simple white European-style architecture, was filled with many yellow roses that didn’t match the usual style.

At first glance, Yu Yuanshen was stunned. Usually, the family would only buy some simple flowers like lilies or chrysanthemums. His parents weren’t fond of such romantic hues, but today...

He frowned and looked around.

Normally, he would have asked about it, but today he didn’t have the mind to mention it at all.

After a quick glance, he tiredly went upstairs without taking a second look, missing a crucial moment that could have changed everything from the very source of his greatest disaster in life...

...

On a tranquil snowy night, with light snow falling over Rong City, Yu Yuanshen was lying in bed reading documents when he received a call from He Qimo.

At this moment, in the winter of 2019, it had been almost a year since He Qimo lost Shen Jian妮, and He Yunshen could now speak, run, and walk, yet he had no mother...

On the phone, He Qimo’s voice carried a faintly awkward, bitter smile, "I really don’t know how you managed as a single dad. I’ve found that a child without a mother at a young age is really quite pitiful..."

He Qimo had always harbored some resentment towards his mother Zhou Huimei for her greed for wealth and vanity, which made life difficult for the He father and son duo in the past. Even though he knew that his parents remarried later, he remained detached towards Zhou Huimei. But when it came to matters involving his child, many of the grudges against his mother suddenly faded. After all, no matter how bad she was, she still birthed and nursed him when he was little.

Compared to having a mother with a bad temper, a child without a mother truly is more pitiable.

He Qimo’s voice was a bit hoarse, seemingly due to the cold in the airport hall, making even his breathing audible through the receiver, which added a layer of bitterness, stirring deeper feelings inside.

Reflecting on his own years of being single...

Yu Yuanshen didn’t know how to comfort He Qimo, so he just smiled slightly and said, "My situation is different from yours. When I got divorced, Youxuan was already two years old, and her optimistic personality from Weiwei meant I didn’t have too many worries..."

"But in any case, these years after the divorce can’t have been easy for you, right? Especially when Youxuan wanted her mom..." He Qimo sighed on the other end.

This sentence instantly pierced the most painful spot in Yu Yuanshen’s heart.

Silence wrapped the air, and Yu Yuanshen didn’t speak for a long time.

Until the plane on He Qimo’s side was about to take off, he hurriedly left a message, "The plane’s about to take off. I’ll hang up first, going to Switzerland before the end of the year. Should I bring back something for the little one?"

The crafts from Switzerland are quite nice. Yu Yuanshen glanced at the direction of Youxuan’s room and said, "Could you pick up a music box with a crystal globe? Christmas is coming soon, and I haven’t had the time to choose a gift for her yet. I feel quite guilty."

"Alright." He Qimo then hung up the phone.

After hanging up on his side too, Yu Yuanshen looked at the documents in his hand, his heart growing heavy, thinking about the look of hope in Youxuan’s eyes today—his mind chaotic and restless.

Mom...

Zhi Xuan is married, so where could he find a mom that both of them could accept?

...

At the Feng Family’s old house, Feng Yuning was already leaning back in bed with a sense of triumph, a face mask on, excitedly daydreaming, "Today was a good start! Just need to persist a little longer, and I’ll surely marry gloriously into the Yu Family."

To become Youxuan’s mother, to win over Yu Yuanshen, have a chubby son, and ascend to the peak of life in the Yu Family, hahahaha...

Feng Yuning was left with nothing but beauty.

Next to her, Feng Yuxi, who had been drafted to help Feng Yuning apply cucumber slices onto her legs, sneered at the sight.

"In your state, even if you presented yourself without a bra, they wouldn’t want you?"

Instantly, Feng Yuning frowned angrily, sat up straight, and said, "How did you know?"

"Sorry, I got home late last night and happened to hear it when I was on the stairs."

Feng Yuxi’s room was close to Feng Yuning’s, so he heard everything from Feng Yuning’s outing last night.

But now... hearing this, Feng Yuning exploded, lifting her dainty foot to rudely kick her brother in the head.

"Feng Yuxi! You were eavesdropping! And who are you saying doesn’t want whom!"

Suddenly, Feng Yuxi, who had only wanted to flaunt in front of his sister, became more furious when kicked.

"I’m talking about you! Nobody wants you! Feng Yuning, why are you seducing people? Of all people, you go after your uncle’s friend, and he’s even a divorcee with a child, yet he still doesn’t want you. It’s so shameful that I wouldn’t have done it if it were me. Yet, you still shamelessly go to their house, even calling them uncle and auntie recklessly!"

This was what Feng Yuxi feared most...

Of course, Feng Yuning caught on, and in her anger, she stood up and pulled on Feng Yuxi’s ear, saying, "Feng Yuxi! You’re such a coward that you wouldn’t dare call them uncle and auntie. Don’t think I’m as timid as you! Why wouldn’t I be able to? I’m only three years younger than my stepmother and auntie. They can call it, so why can’t I? It already annoys me being one generation lower, yet as my brother, you don’t help me and join others in mocking me. Tell me, don’t you deserve a beating?"

Hearing this, Feng Yuxi truly felt like he was going to be driven mad by the absurdity of the Feng Family.

Tugging back his ear with all his might, he retorted, "You’re the one who deserves a beating. Chasing Uncle Yu is crazy and deserving of a beating, and so are your actions. Who would ever like you? It’s said, except for women and uncles, difficult to bring up!"

Feng Yuxi scolding their uncle was one thing, as Feng Yuning knew Feng Yuxi had been beaten by their uncle often and thus had a fear, but with women...

Feng Yuning squinted and scrutinized Feng Yuxi, "Yuxi, aren’t you turning twenty-two this year? With how you always bash women, do you, by chance, like men?"

"Pfft!"

Feng Yuxi almost spat out his drink.

Eyes wide with shock, Feng Yuxi shouted, "Sister! What are you saying! I’m straight!"

His desperate rage made Feng Yuning assume a high and mysterious posture.

"Who knows... I heard many men think they’re straight until they meet the man they like."

Instantly, Feng Yuxi was left speechless with anger.

Looking dazedly at Feng Yuning, he asked, "So, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

Feng Yuning raised an eyebrow, her smile enchanting and gentle with a slyness from successfully using provocation, also recognizing her brother’s high intelligence with satisfaction.

Wrapping her arm around Feng Yuxi’s neck, Feng Yuning leaned in and said, "Tomorrow..."
