Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang De was stunned when he heard Uncle Jiang’s words. What was going on? What was the relationship between him and the woman on the bed? How could he be the person that this woman missed the most? Zhang De asked in confusion,
“Uncle Jiang, what do you mean?”
Uncle Jiang looked at the confused Zhang De and balled his hands into fists behind him. His eyes were filled with sadness and guilt. At this point, he needed to explain some things to Zhang De, so Uncle Jiang said calmly,
“Zhang De, this woman is your mother, your biological mom. And I, or rather the entire Zhang family, are your mother’s subordinates!”
Uncle Jiang got more agitated as he said this. He looked at Jiang Xiaoman guiltily as he had promised her that he would not tell Zhang De. But there was really no other way now. He had to tell Zhang De the truth. Uncle Jiang knelt on one knee beside the bed and said to Jiang Xiaoman,!!
“Master, I’m sorry. I didn’t do what I promised you!”
Zhang De felt as though he had been struck by lightning when he heard these words. He looked at Uncle Jiang who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief. He couldn’t believe it at all. He said to Uncle Jiang,
“Is… Is this true?”
Zhang De still did not want to believe it. Uncle Jiang grabbed Zhang De and asked him to kneel. The only way to wake up his master now was to have Zhang De call out to Jiang Xiaoman. Uncle Jiang said excitedly,
“Zhang De, quickly kneel and say hello to your mom.”
Zhang De could not accept this truth for a moment and stood motionless on the spot. He didn’t want to kneel and his eyes were filled with misgivings and grievances. His eyes were red as he looked at Jiang Xiaoman and said through gritted teeth,
“If I’m her son, why did she send me away instead of keeping me with her?”
Uncle Jiang raised his head and looked at Zhang De when he heard this. He knew that Zhang De couldn’t accept it now. It would take time before anyone could accept something like this. Uncle Jiang explained quickly,
“Zhang De, you can see it too, what happened to your mom. If she had kept you with her, you would also be hunted down. Your mom didn’t want you to be in such danger too!”
Zhang De looked at Jiang Xiaoman with mixed feelings. Even so, she shouldn’t have abandoned her child and handed him over to someone else! Zhang De suddenly thought of something and asked in disbelief,
“If she is really my mom, then Su Jin is my younger sister?”
Uncle Jiang nodded. That’s right. Zhang De and Su Jin were twins. After they were born, Zhang De was immediately handed over to Uncle Jiang to be raised in the Zhang family while Su Jin stayed with Jiang Xiaoman. Uncle Jiang replied,
“That’s right. Su Jin is your younger sister. You and Su Jin are twins, fraternal twins, so the two of you do not look alike!”
Zhang De’s hands clenched tightly into fists when he heard this. This matter was too hard to accept. After growing up in the Zhang family all these years, he’s suddenly told that he’s not a child of the Zhang family and that Su Jin was his younger sister. He could not accept any of this at all. Zhang De asked with a complicated look in his eyes,
“Then why did she keep Su Jin but not me?”
Uncle Jiang sighed when he heard this. He expected Zhang De to ask this question. Now that Zhang De knew, he deserved to know the whole truth. Uncle Jiang explained,
“Master was already being hunted down then. She had to keep a child with her so that those people would focus on them. Only then would you be able to survive. In fact, master didn’t know who to choose, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and kept Su Jin because she was younger, and also because she wanted to protect you.”
“Now that your mom’s death is all over the news, when she wakes up, she could go into hiding and she will always be by your side.”
Zhang De had been curious for years why members of the Zhang family did not like him. Even those in the younger generation joined forces to suppress him. At first, he hated his mother for sending him away but after hearing Uncle Jiang’s words, he understood. He knelt on the ground and said guiltily,
“Mom, I’m sorry!”
Of course, there was also Su Jin, who was his younger sister. He had been going against Su Jin all this while and even led everyone in mocking her. He had even wanted to hit Su Jin!
