Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 766 Xiao Yunyun’s Family Background (2)

Su Yunjin took out a file from her suitcase and handed it to Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun hesitated and did not dare to take it.

Su Yunjin had already shown her the adoption document. Her intuition told her that she was not ready to know too much about the content of the document.

“Just have a look.” Su Yunjin said, “You should have known about it a long time ago.”

Xiao Yunyun opened the file with trembling hands. It was an old newspaper from more than 20 years ago.

The newspaper reported that the day before the newspaper was published, a major car accident had happened in the downtown area of Sydney City. A Chinese couple died on the spot in the car accident, and only the female baby had survived under the shield of the couple.

The car accident involved another two private cars, one of which belonged to Xiao Guoshan.

At that time, because Xiao Guoshan was in a hurry, the speed of his car was approaching the speed limit. The driver of the other private car was a novice. In order to avoid Xiao Guoshan, the driver ran into the car of the Chinese couple in a panic.

The exact Chinese couple were Xiao Yunyun’s biological parents.

Xiao Yunyun survived at the expense of her biological parents’ lives.

Therefore, she carried the weight of three lives.

However, if it weren’t for the fact that Xiao Guoshan was driving too fast, her parents wouldn’t have died in the car accident…

Su Yunjin slowly squatted down in front of Xiao Yunyun and said, “Your father should be responsible for this car accident, so we didn’t dare to tell you the truth.”

“Yunyun, your father has been very scared for so many years. He’s afraid that you won’t forgive him after knowing the truth. Even more, he’s afraid that you’ll apply to the court for canceling the adoptive relationship with him. Your father really loves you, and he has always treated you as his own daughter. He’s afraid of losing you.”

Xiao Yunyun looked at the photos of the accident. She couldn’t imagine how her parents had protected her in the car, which was deformed because of the accident, back then when she was less than two years old.

At the moment of the accident, what were her biological parents thinking?

Would they struggle to survive? Or would they worry about her future life?

Xiao Yunyun lowered her head, with her tears constantly falling on the file. Soon, the old newspaper was soaked with tears.

“Yunyun, I’m sorry.” Su Yunjin looked at Xiao Yunyun and told her something that was not reported in the newspaper. “After the car accident, your father felt very guilty, but the police couldn’t get in touch with your family members, so he had to deal with the funeral of your parents. Later, he inquired about it for a long time and learned that you had no relatives alive in the world. Although it is strange, we really can’t find your grandfather or grandmother, and you have become an orphan.”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun’s tears dropped even more, but she had been restraining herself from crying.

Su Yunjin continued, “According to the law, you should have been sent to a welfare institution. But your father felt that the welfare institution was not a good environment for your growth. Later, with the help of his lawyer, he persuaded the judge and obtained the right to raise you. Your father once told me that when you graduated from college, he would tell you the truth and that at that time, even if you didn’t want to forgive him, you had the ability to take care of yourself.”

Xiao Yunyun finally couldn’t hold back anymore. She turned her head, buried her head in Shen Yuechuan’s arms, and cried.

If everything could be done again, she believed that Xiao Guoshan would not allow the car accident to happen again.

However, how could the tragedy that had happened more than 20 years ago be changed?

Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun’s head with both hands and allowed Xiao Yunyun to lean against him.

Even if he was usually eloquent, he couldn’t say a word to comfort Xiao Yunyun at this time.

If something that people had taken for granted turned out to be an illusion after they had been used to it, it would impose an immeasurable impact on them.

What Xiao Yunyun needed most now was not his comfort, but his company.

Su Jian’an came over and touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Yunyun, let Auntie finish her words first.”

Xiao Yunyun finally looked up from Shen Yuechuan’s arms and glanced at Su Yunjin with tears in her eyes. “Why was Dad willing to be your nominal husband?”

“Because your father didn’t love me.” Su Yunjin said, “He lost his lover when he was very young, just like me. For a long time, he didn’t know how to live, but he didn’t want his family to worry about him. So he came to me and asked if I wanted to cooperate with him.”

Back then, Su Yunjin had lost Jiang Ye and abandoned Shen Yuechuan against her will. If she hadn’t promised Jiang Ye that she would survive, maybe she would have died a long time ago.

Xiao Guoshan appeared in her most difficult time. They were in the same situation, and both of them were distressed.

The difference was that Xiao Guoshan had achieved success in his career and had long been regarded as a young talent by others. His mother was afraid that he would be too desperate, so she threatened him to get married again with her life, trying to raise his hope for life again.

However, Xiao Guoshan could no longer fall in love with anyone. He chose to pay compensation for his nominal wife. Not only could it reassure his mother, but he did not have to bear the guilt of betraying his lover.

Through Qin Lin, Xiao Guoshan found Su Yunjin. They soon got married and became a nominal couple.

Su Yunjin graduated from a business school after all. After recovering from the grief of Jiang Ye’s death, she and Xiao Guoshan began to expand their territory together. She became the chief financial officer of their company with a generous sum of annual salary, but she couldn’t find her lost lover again.

Later, the car accident happened and Xiao Guoshan adopted Xiao Yunyun.

From the point of view of Xiao Yunyun, they were a happy family of three.

But actually, only Xiao Guoshan and Su Yunjin knew that their family was full of unknown secrets.

Those secrets had been hidden from Xiao Yunyun for so many years, and the truth was finally unveiled at this time. She finally saw the scar behind the happiness.

All things she had been familiar with, including her parents who had always loved her, were now overturned and broken and could no longer return to their original appearance.

Why did fate make a fool of her like this?

“Yunyun, your father will come here after dealing with his business in Australia.” Su Yunjin said, “He wants to apologize to you in person.”

“Apologize?”

For the first time, Xiao Yunyun felt that the word was like the creatures from another planet, strange and distant. She subconsciously held Shen Yuechuan’s hand.

Shen Yuechuan knew Xiao Yunyun too well. He silently wrapped her hand in his palm and said to the others in the room, “I’ll take her out for a while.”

Although it was chilly in the garden in late autumn, the green grass was covered with warm autumn sunshine. The seasonable flowers were in full bloom, and every corner was beautiful.

Shen Yuechuan released Xiao Yunyun’s hand and squatted down in front of her. “Are you feeling better?”

Xiao Yunyun raised her head which had been down. Her almond-shaped eyes were as red as a rabbit’s. She sobbed from time to time, like a very sad baby, looking very pitiful.

Shen Yuechuan gently hugged Xiao Yunyun and held her head in his arms. He said, “I know how you’re feeling now. We can go back first. You don’t have to force yourself to accept it immediately.”

Xiao Yunyun shook her head and burst into tears. “My dad…”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t know which father she was talking about, so he could only stroke her back and appease her in a gentle voice.

When her tears had run their course, Xiao Yunyun finally said intermittently, “Dad didn’t do me wrong. He just accidentally made a mistake…”

Shen Yuechuan finally got to know that Xiao Yunyun was talking about Xiao Guoshan.

He gently said, “Yeah.” He wiped Xiao Yunyun’s tears away and guided her to continue. “Why do you say that?”

“Dad has been very kind to me since I was a child. He has never scolded me. Without asking anything, he could buy me whatever I wanted the next day. Because of him, I was very happy when I was a child. But for so many years, he has always felt that he was sorry for me, and he is afraid that I will not forgive him…”

Only then did Shen Yuechuan understand that Xiao Yunyun cried because she was sad, but the most difficult thing for her was not her family background.

Instead, she cried because Xiao Guoshan, who she had been relying on for so many years and been dearly loved by since she was a child, had been living a guilty life. She couldn’t imagine the mental pressure on Xiao Guoshan.

No matter what had happened, she always hoped that Xiao Guoshan would be happy.

Shen Yuechuan caressed Xiao Yunyun’s head and asked, “Don’t you blame your father?”

Xiao Yunyun shook her head and said, “Dad was indeed responsible for the tragedy, but he probably didn’t want the car accident to happen.”

“After the car accident, he considered that the welfare institution was unfavorable to my growth, and he even planned to tell me the truth after I graduated. All of these showed that he had never thought of escaping from the responsibility of the car accident.”

“For so many years, he has been treating me better than anyone else. I can’t deny what he has done for me in the past 20 years because of his mistake more than 20 years ago.”

Strictly speaking, Xiao Yunyun had not officially graduated, and she was still inexperienced.

But in the face of such a big change, it was so quick for her to calmly consider the cause and effect and make a decision.

Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt that in addition to loving her, he appreciated this little girl.

Shen Yuechuan finally asked for confirmation, “Have you thought it over?”

Xiao Yunyun nodded and said, “Push me in. Don’t let Cousin and Mom worry about me.”

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Yunyun in the living room. They were all a little surprised to see her come back so soon.

Su Jian’an walked over and found that Xiao Yunyun had stopped crying. She looked calm, and there was even a smile in the corners of her beautiful eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief and fixed Xiao Yunyun’s messy long hair. “Are you okay?”

Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and said, “Yeah, I’m okay.” Then she called Su Yunjin, “Mom.”

Su Yunjin nodded and didn’t dare to make a sound. She just stared at Xiao Yunyun and motioned for her to continue.

“I want to call Dad.” Xiao Yunyun said in a calm and firm voice.

Su Yunjin was stunned and asked uncertainly, “Yunyun, what are you going to say to your dad?”

Xiao Yunyun reached out to take Su Yunjin’s phone and said with a smile, “You’ll know it soon.”

Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment and then handed her phone to Xiao Yunyun.

The phone was quickly connected. Xiao Yunyun called lightly and clearly, “Dad!”

“Hey, Yunyun.” Xiao Guoshan’s voice trembled a little. “I’m hearing you.”

Listening to Xiao Guoshan’s voice, Xiao Yunyun seemed to feel his guilt and caution over the past 20 years. Her nose twitched and she could no longer hide her crying. “Dad, I know everything now.”
