Chapter 82: The Mystery of One's Life (2)
"My mom" was already in tears, seeing her like this made me feel so sad too. After all, she's the "mom" I've called for 16 years. She loves me and spoils me more than my own biological mother would.
"Can you tell me who my real parents are?" I finally asked.
"Mom" sniffled, "Your dad's name is Dongfang Ji, and mom's name is Lin Si Rou!"
"East Ji? East Ji?" I asked in surprise. "Isn't that the name of our school's largest shareholder, Mr. Dongfang?"
"Uh-huh." Mom nodded.
I was stunned, Mr. Dongfang? Mr. Dongfang is my dad? Things about him flashed through my mind quickly:
"She said you're called Ouyang Yue? Which Yue?"
"Ah?... It's a pleasant and delightful meaning, happy and joyful."
"So your name is Yue too."
"Because you look just like someone!"
And Lin Si Rou, I've heard this name somewhere before, it feels so familiar, but I just can't think of it right now.
"What's my name?" I asked.
"It was your mom who picked it out, she hopes you'll be happy every day."
"Mr. Dongfang didn't know he had children, did he?"
"Hmm, we've been unable to contact him since he went abroad. This time, hearing that he's returned to the country, we also came back, just wanting to tell him about this matter, but he took a step ahead of us and left the country again!"
No wonder they looked so disappointed when I told them Mr. Dongfang was going abroad that day. Wait, wasn't Mr. Dongfang traveling with Aunt Yin that day? Yinxuan? Linsijou? I remember now, when Aunt Yin fainted that day, Mr. Dongfang anxiously called her - Sijou?
"Why did she put me here?" I asked, anxiously grasping "Mom's" hand.
"Mom" looked at me for a few seconds, holding my hand tightly, and said: "Because it was us who encouraged her to find Ji, Si Rou was too pitiful. When we met her later, she was on the street, and because of exhaustion, she fainted on the ground due to physical collapse. That was the first time we saw her after the four of us parted ways, and that's when we learned about everything." As she spoke, "Mom"'s tears fell again uncontrollably.
She continued: "We knew they were in love, because you are the best proof. Si Ruo finally agreed to go to Dongfang Group to find Ji's father, so she handed you over to us... but... since then, there has been no news at all..." "Mom" burst into tears sadly.
"It was a car accident, it was the car accident that made her lose all of her memories!" I said.
"Mom" looked at me in surprise, "Car accident? You... how did you know?" It turns out that Aunt Yin is my biological mother. No wonder I had a familiar feeling when I first saw her, and every time I see her having an episode, my heart hurts so much. After listening to her story, I also involuntarily shed tears. It's the parent-child relationship, it seems. She has been by my side all along.
"Yueyue, what's going on? Tell me clearly!" Mom asked anxiously. "Dad" also looked at me nervously, and even Ouyang Luo, who had been standing by the window, turned around to look at me.
"In the 'Huan' flower shop, I saw her, she had lost her memory due to a car accident and couldn't remember anything. But I knew he remembered Mr. Dongfang because the name of the shop 'Huan' was a word that Mr. Dongfang liked. That day when I brought Mr. Dongfang to 'Huan', Aunt Yin's illness relapsed, it was Mr. Dongfang who carried her away, and at that time she called Aunt Yin 'Si Ruo'."
"Yin Auntie? Is she thinking of Ru?" "Mom" smiled happily, "Then it must be right, that person is definitely Ru, which is your mom!"
Mom? Dad? I suddenly feel like these two words are so unfamiliar.
"It turned out that she was in a car accident. So, taking her abroad should be for medical treatment, right?" "Dad" said.
"It's really a mysterious arrangement, actually, Si Rou has always been by our side, she and Yueyue have already reunited... Hehe..." "Mom" wiped away her tears and smiled happily.
"Yueyue, I hope you don't hate them, they didn't intentionally not come to see you!" "Mom" gazed at me, awaiting my response.
Hate? I don't hate them, on the contrary, I miss them now, they are my biological parents, although one has amnesia and the other doesn't know I have this daughter, but it's not their fault, I know they loved each other, because I'm the proof!
"I don't hate them, they're all innocent!" I said.
"Ah, Yueyue you really understand things. I originally thought that if I told you the truth, you wouldn't be able to take it and would end up hating them instead!" "Mom" nodded happily.
"Yueyue, before your biological parents come back, you will still live with us, and we will try every means to contact Ji's."
"Mom..." I shouldn't be calling them Dad and Mom anymore, should I?
"Why don't you call us anymore? I know you've found out the truth, that we're not your biological parents, but I still hope you can call us like before, because... after all, we're still a family!"
Yeah, although they are not my biological parents, after all, they have raised me for 16 years. Suddenly I don't call them dad and mom, I don't know what to call them, it's really uncomfortable.
I looked at Dad, he was also looking at me with a face full of expectation. I hesitated for a few seconds, "Dad, Mom!"
"Uh-huh." Mom smiled happily, and Dad's face also broke into a smile. I glanced at Ouyang Luo, and he smiled back at me too. He is not my brother now!
All the secrets have been revealed. I am not a child of the Ouyang family, my parents are Dongfang Ji and Lin Si Rou, I should be surnamed Dongfang.
Because I wasn't fully recovered from my illness, I stayed in the hospital for another week. Yu Bing and Wei Er, as well as Zi Miao and Gu Yue Shuo would occasionally come visit me. I found out later that they came to see me every day when I was unconscious. This touched my heart deeply. They also all knew about my family secrets now.
Gu Yue Xuan almost comes every day, he likes to perform magic tricks for me by my bedside, but every time I see his serious expression, I think of Ye Zi, from the day I woke up and saw her once until now, she still hasn't forgiven me?
Today I finally got discharged from the hospital and returned home, where nothing has changed. He Yanni is still as enthusiastic as ever, she made a table of delicious dishes waiting for me to come back. Everyone was sitting at the table eating, but I didn't see Yezi, was she in her room?
After dinner, I went straight upstairs and found Ouyang leaning against the door. When he saw me coming, he stood up straight. Was he waiting for me? I walked in front of him, thinking that he had been beaten like that by those people to save me that day, "Is your injury better?"
Ouyang paused for a few seconds before nodding, "Are you leaving?"
Are you leaving? He had asked me this before, and my answer was: "This is my home, of course I won't leave!" But can I still say that now?
"I... don't know..." It took me half a day to say this sentence. Ou Yang Luo's face showed a disappointed expression, doesn't he want me to leave?
