230: Chen Yuqing confessed to her mother
Upon hearing Li Jing's suggestion, Chen Yuqing, who had just started the car, paused, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The reason she felt this way was that she knew if her mother went over, Chen Haotian would be exposed.
As Chen Haotian grew older, the space between his brows looked more and more like Lin Zifeng, and his features also bore her resemblance.
Her mother understood her and Lin Zifeng so well that she would be able to spot the trickery at a glance.
Trying to fob her mother off with the excuse of adoption simply wouldn't work.
However, she had no reason to refuse her mother's suggestion.
Seeing her expression, Li Jing asked with confusion, "What's wrong, Yuqing? Why are you making that face?"
Chen Yuqing snapped back to reality, and while driving, she said, "Mom, it's nothing. I just remembered some work matters. I'm taking you back now."
After saying this, she thought to herself that her family would have to know about this sooner or later; hiding it so carefully all this time was exhausting.
Chen Haotian was almost three years old and would be starting kindergarten soon; it was time to make this matter public.
If she was too busy in the future, her mother could help look after the Little fellow, and it would also allow her parents to experience the joy of family life early.
Her mother would certainly be better than the Nanny she had hired, which would give her greater peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuqing felt much more at ease.
Soon, Chen Yuqing parked the car downstairs and led Li Jing upstairs.
While going up, she said, "Mom, for convenience in daily life, I hired two Nannies. Don't find it strange later."
"Oh, so our family has produced a capitalist like you. It seems I won't need to cook dinner tonight."
Li Jing said with a chuckle, her expression not changing much.
While entering the door lock code, Chen Yuqing spoke again, "Mom, I also secretly adopted a child named Chen Haotian. You can consider yourself to have an Eldest Grandson now."
"What? Yuqing, what did you say?" Li Jing stopped in her tracks, surprised.
Chen Yuqing opened the door, took Li Jing's arm, pulled her inside, and said, "Mom, why are you just standing there? Come in quickly!"
As soon as the two entered the room and closed the door, the Little fellow, who had been playing with toys, ran over quickly, shouting happily as he ran, "Mommy, Mommy, you're back! I want a hug."
Watching the Little fellow reach out his arms and rush over like a little bird, Chen Yuqing quickly squatted down and took the Little fellow into her arms.
The Little fellow kissed Chen Yuqing on the cheek, then looked curiously at Li Jing behind her.
Meanwhile, upon seeing Chen Haotian, Li Jing stood rooted to the spot, eyes wide open, as if she had been put under a spell.
"Mommy, who is this grandma? How come I've never seen her before?"
Chen Haotian said in a milky voice.
Chen Yuqing then spoke up, "Haotian, this is your grandma."
The Little fellow said very politely, "Hello, Grandma."
Li Jing finally snapped out of it, stammering as she pointed at the Little fellow, "Yuqing, this, this, this?"
Seeing a Nanny walk out of the Kitchen, Chen Yuqing whispered quickly, "Mom, no matter how many questions you have, wait until later. There's a Nanny here!"
Li Jing nodded subconsciously.
The Nanny stepped forward and said, "General Manager Chen, dinner is ready."
Then she looked at Li Jing with confusion.
"Sister Zhang, this is my mother."
After Chen Yuqing introduced Li Jing and the two exchanged greetings, she added, "Sister Zhang, you and Sister Li can get off work in a while. My mom is here, and we want to have a good chat tonight."
The Nanny surnamed Zhang agreed, turned and walked into the Kitchen, called the Nanny surnamed Li to tidy up briefly, and then they both left together.
Holding the Little fellow, Chen Yuqing walked toward the dining room and said, "Mom, let's go eat first! Whatever questions you have, we can talk about them after dinner."
Looking at the cute and beautiful Little fellow, Li Jing nodded with anticipation.
Neither mother nor daughter had much appetite, so after feeding the Little fellow, they finished dinner hastily in less than twenty minutes.
Chen Yuqing told the Little fellow to go read comic books, and he obediently went to do so.
The mother and daughter then entered the Bedroom.
As soon as Chen Yuqing closed the door, Li Jing asked impatiently, "Yuqing, what exactly is going on? The child outside looks very much like you when you were little, and I also saw Zifeng's shadow on him. This child is definitely not adopted by you. How could this happen? My mind is a mess. What is the situation? I can hardly believe what I'm seeing is real."
Seeing her mother's complex expression, Chen Yuqing decided to tell the truth, because in this world, her own parents were the ones she trusted most.
"Mom, just as you guessed, Haotian is my biological son. The year I spent in Australia was to give birth to Haotian; studying abroad was just an excuse. The reason I haven't come home these past few years and chose to live outside was to take care of Haotian. Haotian's biological father is Zifeng."
Chen Yuqing poured out all the secrets in her heart in one breath, feeling as if a heavy mountain had been lifted off her, and she felt much lighter all over.
"What? The Little fellow outside is your and Zifeng's son?"
Although she had already suspected as much, hearing Chen Yuqing admit it herself, Li Jing still found it hard to believe.
Seeing Chen Yuqing nod and receiving confirmation again, Li Jing's mind couldn't quite process it.
She said subconsciously, "Could it be that before Yuxi started dating Zifeng, you were already dating him? Did Zifeng change his affections after seeing your sister?"
"Mom, it's not what you think. I never dated Zifeng."
Chen Yuqing quickly explained.
"If you never dated, how do you have a son this old?"
Li Jing asked, confused.
"Mom, everything was caused by that Zhang Yuhao. Do you remember when Zhang Yuhao was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation, and Yuxi and I went to Yushu County together?"
"Of course I remember. Didn't you divorce Zhang Yuhao shortly after you returned? What does the child have to do with that Zhang Yuhao? You're confusing me."
Li Jing's face was full of confusion.
Chen Yuqing recounted everything that happened when they went to Yushu County in great detail.
Finally, she added, "Mom, Yuxi and I both lost our innocence overnight, and Zifeng was essentially a victim too, so Yuxi and I couldn't blame him. To keep you and Dad from being disgraced, Yuxi and I didn't blow the matter out of proportion. I was angry at what Zhang Yuhao did, so I chose to end my nominal marriage with him when I returned. After Yuxi and I returned, we wanted to pretend it never happened. Later, because of the investment in the scenic area, Yuxi and I came into contact with Zifeng again, and not long after, I discovered I was pregnant. You know I am an anti-marriage advocate, so after much hesitation, I felt that having a child by my side in the future would be a good choice, so I decided to give birth to the child. Later, Yuxi secretly started dating Zifeng. Mom, that is the whole story."
