Chapter 256: Isn’t that your son?
For the first time, Li Yuan found a groove in a person that matched his soul.
It's as if they were born to be together.
In the past, he couldn't find anyone who matched his soul, he could only find someone who matched his body.
He was very grateful to Jiang Yiling for giving him a chance.
This kind of thing is impossible for anyone.
Whether it's Shu Yanlin or Zhou Ranran, if they were in Jiang Yiling's shoes, there would be two completely different results. It's already tolerable that they are not angry with me.
People are selfish. No matter what their background or environment, as long as they are given the capital to be selfish, this emotion will be magnified.
Including Li Yuan himself.
If he didn't have the wealth and status he has now, he couldn't be selfish. He would have to do whatever his parents asked him to do, after all, he depended on his parents for food.
It was almost five o'clock when Zhou Juan came back from outside.
She heard that Zhou Ranran had given birth to a child, so she bought some things after lunch and went over to see her.
I was very happy when I left, but I felt complicated after I came back, especially when I saw Jiang Yiling.
Jiang Yiling came over and asked, "Mom, how is Ranran doing? Was it a natural birth or a caesarean section?"
"It's a natural birth. I specifically asked her about the situation. Don't be afraid. It's safe to give birth now."
"Well, have you seen the child?"
“This…I saw it.”
Zhou Juan had mixed emotions because she saw her child.
Jiang Yiling: "Ran Ran also sent me a photo just now. The child looks exactly like Li Yuan when he was a child..."
Zhou Juan's heart skipped a beat.
She raised Li Yuan herself, how could she not know what Li Yuan was like when he was a child?
Seeing Zhou Ranran’s child today immediately activated her memories that had been sealed away for twenty years.
Really exactly the same...
Fortunately, Jiang Yiling followed up with a sentence, "When he grows up, he will definitely be a super handsome guy like Li Yuan."
Li Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, saw with his own eyes how his mother's eyes went from being uncertain at the beginning to being relieved in the end.
He knew what Jiang Yiling meant by saying these words, and he was just taking precautions in advance.
Obviously, the injection scared Zhou Juan.
She responded absentmindedly and started to cook. After Li Yuan finished his meal, Zhou Juan blocked him inside while he was in the study.
On weekdays, Zhou Juan would not go to the study room except for cleaning, because she knew Li Yuan was busy with work.
But today…
After she came in, she closed the door and asked in a low but sharp voice, "Does Ranran's child have anything to do with you?"
This is not a sudden whim, but many people are spreading it.
After all, his son looked like the rich man, otherwise why had Zhou Ranran’s boyfriend not shown up yet?
It’s just that we have no evidence, and Zhou Ranran’s parents don’t have such a deep impression of Li Yuan when he was a child.
Apart from their own flesh and blood, most people's memories would not be that deep, so when Zhou Juan saw the child for the first time, she found many familiar things.
Li Yuan rubbed his head and said, "Mom, don't you know everything?"
Zhou Juan: “…”
Know what? What did she know?
She just came to ask because she didn't know!
What did this bastard say? So she should know about this?
If she knew, she would have broken the boy's legs long ago!
She didn't come here to ask Li Yuan to confess, she came here to ask Li Yuan to deny it.
Otherwise, this matter would never end. She didn't dare to face Jiang Yiling or Zhou Ranran.
"Please reorganize your language!"
Zhou Juan felt her legs inexplicably go weak.
The next second, Li Yuan said, "Just as you thought, it's mine."
"???"
Zhou Juan immediately walked up to Li Yuan and said, "Get out of the way and sit for a while."
After saying that, she pulled Li Yuan up from the chair and then sat down herself.
Li Yuan stood by, looking at his mother who was breathing a little fast, and said in a tiring tone: "Anyway, the baby has been born, it's impossible to put it back in, just pretend you don't know about it."
Zhou Juan stared at Li Yuan. Is this boy speaking human language?
If she can't even care about something like this, then what's the point of living?
She was speechless and was so angry at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan also had the patience to wait for her to recover, so about two minutes later, Zhou Juan gritted her teeth and said, "What are you going to do about this matter?"
"Didn't I tell you? Just pretend it never happened. Sister Ran won't tell anyone. The child will have nothing to do with me in the future."
Li Yuan answered calmly.
Zhou Juan had already clenched her fists. If she wasn't afraid of making too much noise and disturbing Jiang Yiling, she would have dared to tear this bastard apart with her bare hands.
Li Yuan continued, "What else are you going to do? Let me marry Sister Ran? Acknowledge that the child is mine? What about Yi Ling? Kick her out? Or let her risk her life to abort the baby when it's almost nine months old? If all else fails, throw Sister Ran's child away? If you think there's a good solution, I'm open to it."
Li Yuan watched his mother getting more and more agitated and conflicted, and continued, "Also, I will never be able to give Sister Ran's child any benefits in the future. There are people watching me everywhere. Some people don't dare to do anything to Yi Ling, but I can't guarantee Sister Ran's safety. If you want to harm me, go and tell the world about it. At worst, I'll just die and that's it."
He didn't intend to admit it before, but Jiang Yiling gave him a chance recently.
If you don't admit it now, you may not have the chance to admit it in the future.
What if Jiang Yiling changes his mind?
Of course, there is another meaning to saying such serious things to your mother.
His parents have been a little bit arrogant lately... and he can't say anything to the old couple.
After all, it is reasonable to be proud of your son.
But he doesn't dare to say whether it will become a breakthrough for others in the future.
What he feared most was that the old couple would be taken advantage of by others, and then they would suffer.
The old couple can enjoy life however they want and spend normally, no matter how much it costs. What they fear most is that their money will be taken away and they will suffer.
Now that the matter of another child has been brought to light, it’s about time the old couple kept a low profile.
Why did my father rarely come back? Was it because he was enjoying himself in the county town? Every day, important people invited him to dinner. Who would not bend down to say hello and offer him a cigarette when they saw him?
He had never been treated like this in his life.
Few people in the world can resist the feeling of being superior to others.
It’s just that Dad is a little too flamboyant now…
This 'ugly incident' will make them feel guilty and will also make them start to consider balancing some relationships.
The most important thing is that Li Yuan said he would not give money to Zhou Ranran’s child, and the old couple would definitely not agree.
The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh, so you have to give a little no matter how little you can.
If Li Yuan doesn't give it, the old couple will have to give it.
No matter how much you give them, they will feel it is not enough.
Besides, where does the money come from? It has to come from Li Yuan.
Otherwise, the old couple would work themselves to death but still not be able to earn enough money to show their sincerity.
If Li Yuan gave them 10 million, they would probably save even the interest.
In this way, her personality will become more restrained, and she will think twice before making any decision in the future to see if it will have an impact on her son.
After all, I have to ask my son for money to subsidize my other grandson.
Li Yuan believed that his parents would weigh the relationship between their personal vanity and their grandson. If they didn't want to fight for good things for Zhou Ranran's child, he could just play around, be arrogant, or show off. Anyway, they believed that their son could cover the bottom line.
If you want to have a good relationship with your other grandson and get along well with him, you have to please Li Yuan.
At the very least, I can't cause him any trouble, otherwise...
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Juan took out her cell phone and called Li Wanhe.
"Where are you? Go back to Jiangzhou as soon as possible."
Li Wanhe said on the other end of the phone: "I have things to do here. I'll go there tomorrow... the day after tomorrow..."
"You want to die! Do you think I don't know what you have been doing in your hometown these days? Come back quickly. If you don't come back tonight, don't come back again!"
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? You can't let me have a good drink, right?"
"Then drink well, die on the table, and never come back again!"
Zhou Juan didn't know how to vent her anger on her son, so she got angry at her man.
Li Yuan's actions were far beyond the tolerance of these two rural people.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Juan returned to her silent state. Li Yuan said, "Mom, Yi Ling said that she will also be admitted to that hospital at the end of next month. Aren't you familiar with that place? I will make arrangements by then, and you can stay there to take care of her for a while."
Zhou Juan nodded softly.
It was indeed a nice place, she could tell after staying there for a few hours.
"Then I'll help you up."
Li Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.
But Zhou Juan pushed him away and said, "I'm not old yet, I don't need your help."
She must be angry with Li Yuan about this matter.
But it was only temporary and I have recovered now.
If you think about it carefully, even though it's unfair to Jiang Yiling, the old couple should be secretly happy to have another grandson.
They have caught up with all the good things in the world.
The reason why I said that in anger is that I haven't found a way out yet. I can't just accept it like that. What if Li Yuan comes up with another one in the future?
Her current thoughts were very similar to Li Wanhe's. This guy Li Yuan didn't look like their child at all.
But no one will do a paternity test.
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother leave.
Although it is not convenient for him to visit Zhou Ranran, it would be almost the same if his parents took his place.
After a while, Jiang Yiling came in with a plate of fruit and said, "Mom made me a big plate, and I can't finish it. Can you help me eat some ..."
"If you can't finish it, then don't eat it."
"No, we have to make the elders feel that our efforts are useful, otherwise they will worry about gains and losses. Quick, help me solve it, or I'll give it all to you."
Li Yuan took the fruit plate and started eating.
When it comes to dealing with elders, Jiang Yiling definitely does better than himself.
Whether before his identity was exposed or after it was exposed, his parents were extremely satisfied with Jiang Yiling and did not think there was anything wrong with Jiang Yiling just because his status had been improved.
This is enough to show that Jiang Yiling is perfect in their eyes and will not change due to any factors.
While he was eating fruit, Jiang Yiling asked, "What did you say to mom?"
"You want to hear it?"
Jiang Yiling hurriedly shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to listen. As long as it doesn't affect my life, I'll just pretend I don't know. Otherwise, if you decide not to want me anymore, I won't be able to find anyone else to take over the child."
“…”
Is this what Jiang Yiling is afraid of?
She never needed anyone to take over.
Jiang Yiling's magnanimity exceeded Li Yuan's expectations.
At first, he wanted to drag it out and not get married, so that he would have more and more confidence to reject Jiang Yuanqiao in the future.
He knew very well that after marriage Jiang Yiling's possessiveness would reach an unprecedented level, and his family would be in great trouble.
Now he is not so opposed to marriage...
At around seven o'clock, he went to the company, and just downstairs, Li Wanhe, who was about to go upstairs, was stopped by Zhou Juan.
"What's going on? I rushed here in a hurry, so you should let me sit down and take a breath first, right?"
Li Wanhe didn't think there would be any problems at home, after all, his son was there.
If his son can't handle something, he is of no use.
But Zhou Juan's tone was a bit harsh, so he had no choice but to work overtime and get here.
Zhou Juan pulled Li Wanhe to a corner and said, "You have a grandson, did you know that?"
"Ah? Did you go to the hospital to check the gender?"
"Is it still necessary to check after the baby is born?"
"What? Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing? And... isn't the due date in June? It's only the end of April... How is Yi Ling doing now?"
Li Wanhe was a little anxious. Such a thing actually happened at home and Zhou Juan didn't even call him earlier.
Zhou Juan said seriously, "It's not Yi Ling's."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Your good son has another child outside, who was born today."
Li Wanhe: “???”
For a moment, his brain froze.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, "Just born today? You are not talking about Ranran..."
He knew that Zhou Ranran was giving birth today.
It’s just that Zhou Youfang’s family is not in the county town, so there is no chance to go over and take a look.
Now that this was suddenly said, he couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Um."
Li Wanhe: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
This matter is simply impossible to be accepted in the short term.
There were rumors before, but they were all groundless. He even heard that his son was dating a high school girl recently.
Isn’t it just that his son has become famous, so someone wants to get in touch with him?
Because of their neighbor relationship, he would not look down on Zhou Ranran.
But if he asked Zhou Ranran to be his daughter-in-law, he would absolutely not agree.
He has a criminal record and has never been to college. How can he compare to Jiang Yiling?
"Your son admitted it himself, how could he be wrong?"
"Isn't that your son?"
Li Wanhe retorted angrily.
"That's not necessarily true. Anyway, our Zhou family doesn't have this kind of bloodline. As for whether your Li family has it, I don't know yet."
