Chapter 337: Severing Ties (4)
"...However, you probably didn’t expect that the always obedient her would have a day of rebellion. She actually took advantage of Father neglecting her and escaped while you hadn’t had a chance to move her. She was gone for more than ten years. If Mother hadn’t hidden in the Ghost Market, you would probably have found her long ago, right?"
Old Sir Yan closed his eyes in despair, "I originally wanted to treat her well. I didn’t have no heart for her..."
"Don’t worry, I haven’t finished yet, Grandpa." Yan Sijue slowly clenched his fist, as if recalling something extremely disgraceful, "A weak woman with a child, living in such a cannibalistic place like the Ghost Market, do you have any idea what Mother went through?"
Of course, he could imagine! That’s why he had been in pain for so many years!
"Sijue, stop talking!" he said sternly, though internally fearful.
When he had brought back Yan Sijue, the woman had disappeared without a trace. He thought that a child like Yan Sijue would know nothing, and that his mother would not have been able to tell him these things. But unexpectedly, he knew everything!
So, was everything he did, in order to avenge his mother?
"You have always been jealous of Father, am I right?" Yan Sijue continued, "That’s why, all these years, you’ve never been kind to him, because although Mother didn’t love him either, her feelings for Father were still somewhat special. After all, he was her first man, but with you, Mother only had fear. Because of the hatred for Father, you also hated me, didn’t you?"
"Shut up!" As if his deepest, darkest thoughts were exposed, Old Sir Yan was angry and ashamed!
"When Mother left back then, she was already three months pregnant. And years ago, when your wife passed away, you had a vasectomy because you didn’t plan to remarry or have illegitimate children causing unrest in the household, so, of course, Mother’s child could only be Father’s." Yan Sijue smiled faintly, "I’m sorry, I’ve been an eyesore for you all these years."
Old Sir Yan covered his face with both hands, took a deep breath, then asked, "Your mother... I never intended to harm her! After all, being with me was much better than with that waste Feiyu, but she was just stubborn!"
His voice was full of unwillingness!
"That’s just your opinion." Yan Sijue sneered, "Even if you were still in your prime back then, you were already fifty... No matter what, your second son, Yan Feiyu, was only in his twenties at that time. It’s only natural that Mother would lean towards him, right?"
Yan Sijue’s words seemed to hit his sore spot, his body trembled!
This was something he had once suspected but never admitted!
So, time and time again, he took possession of her young and tender body, as if to prove that he had never actually grown old and wasn’t inferior to his second son!
"There’s one last thing." As if finally reaching the last step of a long march, Yan Sijue’s voice carried a hint of fatigue, "What you don’t know is, when she left the Yan Family, although she was three months pregnant, your second son Yan Feiyu hadn’t touched her for a long time before that, a long time... much longer than three months."
Old Sir Yan almost thought he heard wrong, his turbid eyes became sharp once again!
"What do you mean?"
"Mother certainly wouldn’t have sought another man. Besides Yan Feiyu, the only one who could have gotten her pregnant was— you." After saying this, Yan Sijue’s eyes widened slightly, calmly looking at Old Sir Yan.
