Chapter 1239 - 1258: Uninvited Guest
Receiving an affirmative answer, Nan Fei felt as though someone had grabbed her heart tightly, leaving her a bit breathless. She had secretly hoped, perhaps Zhuanzhuan wasn’t her biological sister! Maybe they didn’t share any blood relation at all!
If that were the case, her heart would feel slightly better.
Yet, fate had its ironies; the one who wasn’t blood-related turned out to be Jiang Yang.
"It was Huo Beijiang who told you about Jiang Yang, right? I guessed as much after hearing Wei Qin say that he and Huo Beijiang were brothers. Since you are all in Imperial City, he would undoubtedly have told you," Zhang Fengmei chattered on the phone, spilling the beans about everything that happened over a decade ago.
And then she asked anxiously, "Nan Fei, do you blame Mom? We had no choice back then. Without a son, your great aunt would have trampled our whole family, not to mention the constant backstabbing everywhere we went."
This kind of traditional mindset in the countryside was detestable yet impossible to oppose. And it wasn’t just in the countryside; cities were the same, especially among the older generation.
Fortunately, decades later, the national conditions had changed, and the younger generation’s way of thinking had become more open.
Tears welled up in Nan Fei’s eyes as she listened. Having grown up in the countryside herself, how could she not understand? Besides, her parents had saved Jiang Yang, and she felt happy about it.
"I don’t blame you. What you did was right."
"We’re now worried about how to tell Jiang Yang. He’s still young, and we don’t know if it would hurt him." Zhang Fengmei said, then suddenly brightened up at a thought, "I think Wei Qin is a good person, and since he has gone to great lengths to find his brother, I’m sure he will be good to Jiang Yang. I’ve heard the Wei Family has quite the background, so I’ll be at ease if Jiang Yang is acknowledged and goes back to them. Ah! Jiang Yang has really had a hard time with us. It’s all because I’m a useless mother."
