Chapter 373: The Revelation of Yun Zhao’s Origins and Recognizing Relatives (3)_1
Although Mo Yan harbored a bit of ill will towards Yun Zhao for his previous scheming against Zhenzhen, after spending several months together, that ill will had gradually dissipated. When she put herself in his shoes, she thought she might have done the same.
However, now that they were a family, it was important to clarify the siblings’ origins. Mo Yan knew that they had been forced out by their stepmother and that there were irreconcilable conflicts with their family. In Jing City, which was neither too big nor too small, an encounter in the future could happen. Should anything arise, it was always best to be prepared.
After lunch, Mo Yan called Yun Zhao to her courtyard, explained the pros and cons, and let him choose whether to speak or not.
Yun Zhao’s face changed, looking rather unsightly. Previously, he had only been focused on agreeing to become the adopted son of the Mo Family, without considering the potential trouble his birth family, which had left him feeling despondent and cold-hearted, might cause his adoptive family. He smacked his head in annoyance, slightly regretting it now.
Seeing his reaction, Mo Yan’s heart sank, and her tone became unusually strict, "If you regard me as your adopted sister, tell me everything exactly as it is."
Furrowing his brow and clenching his fists, Yun Zhao hesitated, uncertain whether he should speak or not as he looked indecisively at Mo Yan.
Even with an unusually mature temperament, Yun Zhao was still only a seven-year-old child who had suffered the neglect of his biological father and the cruelty of his stepmother. Lacking a sense of security at such a young age, he worried that once he spoke out, the Mo Family might not accept them anymore, and the sense of kinship he had finally felt would vanish like smoke. The pain of gaining and then losing was too much to bear.
