Chapter 142 - 137 Comparatively Complicated (First Update)
"Our family has quite a few members, and the relationships are a bit complicated. After these few days, your head isn’t spinning, right?" Tong Airui smiled and tucked the strands of hair falling on her cheek behind her ear.
Yi Luowa blinked, "Not really spinning. Let me organize my thoughts, and you tell me if I’m right?"
Tong Airui nodded.
"Let’s start with Dr. Mai’s family. He was born just a few hours after the three of you siblings, and by sheer misfortune, he became your seventh brother.
His father is your father’s half-brother, which is considered a taboo in your family—I can’t bring it up or ask questions about it.
Dr. Mai’s mother is your mom’s best friend and comrade, and she also happens to be the biological daughter of your youngest granduncle. But back then, your granduncle made a promise to someone, so he kept your mom by his side and sent her away. Many years later, Aunt Ning finally reconciled with your granduncle. Because of this, in my eyes, your granduncle’s image suddenly became lofty and admirable.
Next, let’s talk about Xuan’s mom. She’s your biological aunt, but she has her own secrets. She didn’t marry your uncle before giving birth to Sister Yu, so your dad publicly claimed Sister Yu as his daughter instead.

This is also evident in how Brother Lance is treated—your mom treats your eldest brother as her own as well. Tong Airui, although your family is large, it’s a very harmonious and loving one."
