251 Truth
There was a problem with this letter?
Everyone turned in unison to look at Shen Ruojing.
Shen Wanxian frowned. “Ruojing, don’t talk nonsense. This letter was left to me before my mother died. We can compare the handwriting, and she also left a video recording behind. How can there be any problems?”
After speaking, Shen Wanxian took out a USB drive and passed it to Yun Zhengyang.
Yun Zhengyang pursed his lips.
He glanced at the USB drive before glancing at Shen Qianhui again.
At this moment, Shen Qianhui really wanted to know if her mother did acknowledge her. Hence, she nodded.
Yun Zhengyang then passed the USB drive to Yun Yiheng, who then nodded and used a laptop to load the USB drive. After that, the video was played on the monitor.
Very soon, an aged woman appeared on the screen.
Her hair was as white as snow and she had a kind look on her face. She stared at the camera and slowly spoke.
“Zhengyang, I know that the matter of me sending money to someone regularly would attract your attention sooner or later. This is why I left this video for you. I have an illegitimate daughter living outside, and her name is Shen Qianhui.”
“She is living in Sea City. I hope you won’t go looking for her and please do not bring her back. Just let her live an ordinary life in Sea City.”
The video ended here.
But it could prove that this was indeed something Matriarch Yun had left behind before her death.
Shen Wanxian then looked at Yun Zhengyang. “Mother felt that if you discovered this matter, you would surely come and consult me at the first instance. This was why she left the letter and video to me. In the end, I didn’t expect you would head to Sea City directly upon discovering the matter and even acknowledge my younger sister back into the family.”
As she said this, she sighed, “When I knew about this, Qianhui had moved into the Yun Manor. I thought that she would only stay a few days before leaving since she is in-laws with the Chu Family, so that was why I didn’t take the letter and video out immediately to show you. But from the looks of things now, the entanglement between her and the Yun Family has become too deep. This is why I…”
Yun Zhengyang fell silent.
Shen Wanxian looked at Shen Ruojing again. “Ruojing, with this video, it should be sufficient to express my mother’s attitude, right?”
Shen Ruojing continued looking at that video. She slowly continued, “The video seems to be cut off prematurely.”
Usually speaking, a proper video wouldn’t end so abruptly. She felt that her maternal grandmother should have said something more, but Shen Wanxian didn’t want to show it to them.
Shen Wanxian laughed. “How can that be? This video was recorded by me. This is the full video.”
“Let’s talk about the letter first then.”
Shen Ruojing lifted the letter in her hand. “I don’t know if the handwriting belongs to my grandma, but the content is the same as the video. They only spoke about not acknowledging my mother, but there is no explanation why. So, I believe the reason Shen Wanxian told us is definitely problematic.”
Shen Wanxian narrowed her eyes. “That matter is my mother’s personal experience and her only tragedy throughout her entire life. So how would she write it down fully to let the juniors see it?”
Shen Ruojing sneered. “In that case, why are you revealing grandma’s matters before all these juniors here?”
“…” Shen Wanxian choked but forcibly tried to regain her dignity. “My mother has passed away. These are her remaining words so I wanted to explain things on her behalf.”
She looked at Shen Qianhui. “Younger sister, the reason why Mother abandoned you is because she didn’t know how to face you. You are the greatest shame in her life, so please don’t blame her.”
After saying that, Shen Wanxian continued, “But then again, whether we acknowledge Qianhui back or not, it wouldn’t affect her nor the Yun Family too much. We are already in our fifties. Why should we obsess over things and not put down past hatred? In addition, she is already married and cannot be considered a daughter of the Yun family anymore. She’s a member of her husband’s family now! In the past, we didn’t really have many interactions with her. We can just do the same now.”
However, Shen Qianhui looked straight at her and asked, “In that case, did she ever reveal who my biological father is?”
“I already said it was a casual random on the street, so how could she tell you? But mother once revealed that she has handled that person.”
Handled him…
Was he killed?
Shen Qianhui’s face turned even paler. At this instant, she felt that she was indeed extremely filthy.
Her biological father was a r*pist and she had the same blood inside her? No wonder her mother didn’t want her. Most probably, giving birth to her felt like committing the cardinal sin…
She, who was an orphan, began to feel self-inferior once again.
The living room suddenly fell silent. For a time, no one dared to speak. Yun Zhengyang’s chin was tense but he also remained silent.
Finally, Yun Yiheng was the one who broke the silence.
“No matter what, there is no need to doubt that Aunt Qianhui is the biological daughter of grandaunt! In that case, it means that we are blood-related! Since this is the case, why should we care who her father is?! Since grandaunt decided to give birth to Aunt Qianhui, it means that she is my aunt! No matter what grandaunt says, I’m going to acknowledge Aunt Qianhui’s family as my family!”
The youth felt that there was basically no need to feel vexed about all of these. “I really don’t understand you adults. Why are you guys thinking so much nonsense? How long has it been now? This matter happened when grandaunt was in her twenties.”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Qianhui. “Aunt, just feel at ease and stay here! Grandaunt still has some properties that have yet to be distributed away. I’m sure those properties are left for you!”
Since Yun Yiheng had made an opening, Yun Zhengyang and Madam Yun cast a glance at each other. The two of them seemed to have thought things through, so Yun Zhengyang looked at Shen Qianhui. “Cousin, this place will be your home forever.”
Madam Yun also walked over. “Enough, enough. We are all tired from hosting the Bai Family today. Let us all go up to rest!”
After saying that, Madam Yun calmly looked at Shen Wanxian. “Although the Bai Family didn’t visit us because of you, it has been tough on you for organizing the banquet. Logically speaking, I should ask you to stay at our Yun Manor for some time, but since Yuyi and Qian Nanyi are already engaged, I’m sure he will head to the Wen Family soon to propose. You guys better rush back to the capital and prepare for the wedding.”
Shen Wanxian’s ego had swelled and she was unbearably arrogant for the past five days because she was preparing the banquet.
Today, Madam Yun finally felt that she could raise her head!
Hearing this, Shen Wanxian clenched her fists, but it wasn’t too good for her to say anything more. She could only nod and say, “I’ll leave tomorrow.”
The people in the living room then dispersed.
Chu Tianye and Chu Yu were filled with boundless energy, so they decided to follow Yun Yiheng to go and play. As for Shen Ruojing, she didn’t continue speaking with Chu Cichen and chose to return to her room instead.
After that, she saw that Shen Qianhui’s eyes were red. She was staring at her hands as she asked, “Tell me, if I change all my blood, can I clean the filth in my body?”
Jing Zhen immediately held her hands. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Shen Qianhui clutched her head and started crying. “Why would I have a father like this?”
Shen Ruojing sighed upon seeing her mother’s appearance.
She then entered her room and turned on her laptop. In just a bit, she directly stole the complete video file from Shen Wanxian’s computer.
After seeing the video, she stood up abruptly.
Her guess was correct. Shen Wanxian had indeed tampered with the video and concealed the truth!
She directly took her laptop and passed it to Shen Qianhui. “Maternal grandfather isn’t a r*pist.”
