After a long time, when Jian Changshengâs figure completely disappeared from his sight, Jian Yuâs emotions gradually calmed down.
Feeling that his mother was still crying, Jian Yu lowered his head and hugged Wang Yunmei tightly. His relaxed body had some warmth, as if he was trying his best to comfort his uneasy mother.
Wang Yunmei immediately broke down in tears. Thousands of emotions mixed in her heart, but in the end, they only turned into an apology.
âIâm sorry⊠Iâm sorryâŠâ
Wang Yunmei buried her head in her sonâs chest and repeated these words over and over again. It was as if she was saying them to her son, and also to herself.
âMom, you did nothing wrong!â Jian Yuâs eyes turned sour. He comforted his mother in a soft tone. âDonât apologizeâŠâ
Jian Yu thought of the first time he saw Jian Changsheng. It had been a few months since he appeared in front of his mother again. In order to protect him and his sister, his mother faced all of this alone.
If he had not accidentally found out about this matter today, with his motherâs personality, he would probably never have had the chance to know the truth, let alone know that his biological father was still living in Baiyun City.
Wang Yunmei cried for a while before finally calming down. Some things could not be resolved by crying. She had to face what she needed to face.
In the general managerâs office, Wang Yunmei was sitting on the sofa. Jian Yu poured her a glass of warm water. Looking at his mother, who looked haggard, Jian Yu couldnât help but sigh. âMom, have some water.â
Wang Yunmei looked up at her son and slowly reached out to take the glass of water. Then, she looked at the seat beside her and gestured for Jian Yu to sit down.
Jian Yu knew that his mother had something to say to him. After sitting down, he said, âMom, if you donât want to say it, donât.â
He didnât want his mother to touch some sad memories. To her, she must have not wanted him or Xiao Ai to know anything about their father. Otherwise, they would have heard something about their father from their mother after so many years.
It was obvious that those memories were not good.
On the other hand, Wang Yunmei chuckled and shook her head in self-ridicule. âSince youâve already heard and seen him, I think itâs time to let you know some things. If I deliberately hide it from you now, Iâll just be deceiving myself. Thereâs no point.â
Jian Yu looked at his mother without blinking.

After a while, Wang Yunmei said, âThat man just now is your biological father. His name is Jian Changsheng. Heâs the current CEO of the Jian Group in Baiyun City.â
Jian Changsheng, the Jian Group!
Jian Yu was familiar with these two names. Although he had never come into contact with the real estate industry, he still knew about the Jian Group. He also knew that his sisterâs East Sea Real Estate and the Jian Group had a conflict.
Therefore, Jian Yu couldnât hide his shock. Although he had seen Jian Changsheng, he never knew his true identity.
His biological father was the CEO of the Jian Group?
âAre you surprised?â Wang Yunmei looked at Jian Yu and said calmly, âIt was an accident that I met him back then. It was also an accident that I got pregnant with you.â
He initially thought that his mother would share her and Jian Changshengâs story from the beginning, but Wang Yunmei only mentioned it lightly. She had no intention of recalling the past. She only said, âWhen he left, I was just pregnant with Xiao Ai. You were only about three years old and couldnât remember anything. Thatâs why you have no impression of him as a father.â
âWhy did he leave you?â Jian Yu asked.
Wang Yunmei took a deep breath. âThe Jian family asked him to marry a daughter from a famous family in the capital and threatened him with the position of the Jian Groupâs heirâŠâ
The meaning behind her words was clear enough. Jian Changsheng had indeed experienced a very painful struggle and choice at that time. However, when he finally chose to leave, the pain and struggle at that time became even more cheap and ridiculous.
Jian Yu frowned and asked in a low voice, âSo he has his own family now and successfully got the Jian Group.â
Wang Yunmei nodded. âThatâs right. After he left, he went straight to the capital to get married. From then on, I never saw him again.â
âWhy did he suddenly appear in front of you this time?â Jian Yu asked.
Wang Yunmei smiled helplessly. âIt was an accident. It was a rather dramatic reunion. If not for this accident, I would have almost forgotten about this person.â
Wang Yunmei couldnât help but think of the scene when she met Jian Changsheng many years later. In fact, half a year ago, not long after she became the general manager of Yaochi, she went into the private room to toast the customers. Caught off guard, the two of them met again.
âHe didnât want to do anything, so he told me he wanted to see you and Xiao Ai, see his two children. I saw him four or five times during this period, and almost every time, it was about you and Xiao Ai.â
As Wang Yunmei spoke, she couldnât help but look up into her sonâs eyes. She pursed her lips and continued, âMom might be a little selfish about this, but I really didnât want you to know that he exists, so every time, I would righteously refuse his request.â
âItâs not that I didnât hate him before, but as time passed, I no longer hate him at all. I just hope that he wonât disturb our lives anymore. I hope he can go missing like he did in the past few years. At least, he wonât appear in front of the both of you.â
âXiao Ai and I have never thought about our biological father, let alone that heâs still in Baiyun City,â Jian Yu said slowly. He reached out and patted Wang Yunmeiâs shoulder. âItâs fine if you tell us. We have no feelings for him. Even if we know heâs here, it wonât affect us.â
Jian Yu was telling the truth. For example, he already knew everything, but when he thought of his biological father and Jian Changsheng, he felt nothing. Even the urge to hit him faded.
Just like a stranger. Perhaps if his mother hadnât cried tonight, he wouldnât even have hit him.
Wang Yunmei lowered her head and was silent for a while. In the end, she slowly asked, âXiao Yu, do you think I should let Xiao Ai know about this?â
âShe should know,â Jian Yu blurted out. âMom, Xiao Ai is far more mature than you think. Sheâs even calmer than me. Besides, itâll be better for you if you say it. At least in the future, you wonât be on tenterhooks because of this.â
âBesides, the Jian Group and East Sea Real Estate are both real estate companies. Xiao Ai usually has more opportunities to interact with that person than you. She might find out under some circumstances. Itâs better for you to tell her yourself than for her to find out.â
