Chapter 594 Meeting (14)
"But it seems like my body is really difficult to recover... it seems it’ll always be in this frail state."At the mention of this, Qiao Yun suddenly felt a bit down.
"Nancheng, would you despise someone like me?"
Fu Nancheng furrowed his brow slightly and said in a deep voice, "Your body is your own; whether I despise it or not doesn’t matter."
Fu Nancheng chatted with her in the room for a while, then looked at Yang Peiyun who was standing nearby.
Yang Peiyun looked at Qiao Yun with some concern, and then slowly revealed the real background of Qiao Mo and Qiao Yun to him.
"After the two children were sent to the Qiao family, I missed them terribly, so I painted a birthmark on my face, disguised myself, and infiltrated the Qiao family’s kitchen as a cook, hoping I could at least catch a glimpse of them from afar."
"Who would have thought that eight years ago, a sudden fire broke out. At that time, Xiao Yun was locked in the warehouse, and hearing her heart-wrenching screams, despite my fear, I couldn’t just watch her trapped inside. So, I poured water on myself and rushed in."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve. Sure enough, there were also burn marks on her arm under the sleeve.
However, compared to Qiao Yun’s, hers were indeed much better.
"At the time, it was another cook who went in with me to rescue her. Before the Qiao family members arrived, I had already sent Xiao Yun to the hospital, but on our way out, the other cook was hit by a beam, and I couldn’t save her in time... she was already..."
Yang Peiyun slowly lowered her eyes, as if finding it difficult to speak of the past.
Fu Nancheng remained silent, as if trying to judge the truth of her story.
"But back then, I falsely claimed to Qiao Dehou that I was terminally ill, so I didn’t dare to appear in front of him, and I couldn’t bear him taking Xiao Yun away from me. So, I have been taking care of her by her side. Until today."
After hearing this story, a hint of a cold smile appeared in Fu Nancheng’s eyes.
"So, Mrs. Yang, today you are using Qiao Mo’s identity to coerce me into visiting Qiao Yun? It turns out that there really are mothers in this world who don’t want to recognize their own children."
Yang Peiyun was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.
Fu Nancheng glanced at the woman in front of him, then turned and left the ward. Qiao Yun’s gaze remained fixed on him, her hands tightly gripping the blanket, with a hint of unwillingness.
Yang Peiyun hastily pursued him, only speaking again when they reached the corridor: "You’re right. I really shouldn’t have done this."
Fu Nancheng stopped his footsteps, scrutinizing her.
"Xiao Mo is indeed my child... but I have to admit, I favor Xiao Yun more. No matter what, over the years, Xiao Mo has been doing well, having almost everything, but Xiao Yun, on the contrary, has lost everything. She could only watch her sister enjoy everything that should have been hers, yet she could only watch helplessly..."
"All these years I have been by Xiao Yun’s side, caring for her, encouraging her, hoping she would get better soon. Naturally, my feelings for her run deeper than for Qiao Mo." Yang Peiyun spoke slowly.
Fu Nancheng’s heart ached for Qiao Mo.
Even if Qiao Yun was indeed more pitiful, it didn’t mean Qiao Mo did anything wrong.
And now, Yang Peiyun was using their relationship to ask him to visit Qiao Yun, making him inexplicably feel sorry for her.
"Mr. Fu, to be honest, Xiao Mo... she actually came by yesterday." Yang Peiyun hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
