As a control group, Feng Yan had already been accepted by the twins and had become closer to them. But Shi Yulin had made no progress and didn’t think he needed to actively understand his child.

He was simply not a qualified father.

Yan Jing’s expression had become blank.

How long had she been deceived by the facade created by the Shi family? It turned out that Yue Yue’s calm and sensible nature was not innate but forced upon him.

He was so young, yet he was required to always be clean and polite, and even compete to be the first and become the most outstanding heir.

Did the Shi family ever consider that he was only a five-year-old child?!

Watching Shi Yulin leave the clamming activity while Shi Yue was surrounded and comforted by his friends, offering him everything they had found, Yan Jing felt both heartbroken and relieved.

Heartbroken that Yue Yue had been living in such a heartbreaking situation without her knowledge. Relieved that after appearing on the show, Yue Yue finally had real friends who cared for him when his father neglected him.

As if sensing Yan Jing’s unrest, Joel hugged her tightly to comfort her.

This finally made Feng Shaoyun realize that something was wrong. She turned her head hesitantly and said, “Yan Jing, are you feeling unwell?”

Sheng Xia also turned her head and saw Yan Jing’s expression gradually becoming firm, knowing that the matter had been settled, her lips slightly curled up.

The system could naturally see this too, and it closed its eyes as if turning a deaf ear to avoid being bothered.

Yan Jing let go of Joel’s hand and sat up straight. “It’s nothing, just seeing Yue Yue, I feel a bit… complicated now.”

Feng Shaoyun didn’t react at first, her eyes widened. “Yue Yue? Do you mean Shi Yue?”

Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow and asked, “Miss Yan, are you…?”

“In fact, I am Yue Yue’s biological mother.” Yan Jing took a deep breath and nodded to them. “I didn’t expect it to be so coincidental. Yue Yue is actually on this show too. If it weren’t for Miss Sheng’s suggestion, I might not have found out for a long time. Thank you so much.”

Feng Shaoyun was suddenly shocked. How could it be such a coincidence?

Realizing something, she suddenly whispered, “So, the family that hurt Miss Yan Jing before… was it actually the Shi family?”

There was no need to hide anything at this point. Yan Jing nodded again and briefly explained what had happened with them before.

Yan Jing had known Shi Yulin since high school, and they had smoothly dated and married, with her becoming a full-time housewife.

However, it wasn’t until she married into the Shi family that she realized married life was different from dating. The Shi family emphasized rules and expected her to be gentle, virtuous, and fully dedicated to taking care of the family as a daughter-in-law.

But on top of that, they also expected her to contribute to the family. Because she was somewhat famous in China at the time, they had secretly taken all her award-winning works and given them to others to curry favor.

When she found out and confronted them, the Shi family didn’t think they had done anything wrong. They felt it was only natural for her to do these things as a member of the Shi family.

Furthermore, they would even forcefully command her to paint according to the requirements of some people.

Even Shi Yulin…

also thought the same way.

Shi Yulin was inherently domineering and arrogant. In his eyes, she was being supported by him, and everything depended on him. Now that she was only doing some small things for him, there was nothing to be surprised about.

In the midst of this torment, Yan Jing finally realized that her choice was wrong and decided to divorce.

She knew she couldn’t compete with the Shi family, and Shi Yue would definitely not be better off with her than in the Shi family’s careful care. So Yan Jing gave up all her paintings’ rights in exchange for an agreement with the Shi family that they couldn’t stop her from contacting her child.

At first, for a year, Shi Yulin did well and would even take the initiative to tell her about Shi Yue’s well-being. It was also evident in the videos that Shi Yue was doing well in the Shi family.

Meanwhile, Yan Jing was exploring and experiencing life as a wandering painter. Because of this, she felt that her choice at the time was not wrong.

But as Shi Yue grew older and Shi Yulin remarried, the Shi family no longer allowed her to meet her child, only sending her photos regularly, claiming it was for the child’s own good.

Seeing how much Shi Yue relied on and liked Sheng Lanqiu, Yan Jing felt a bit lost but didn’t insist anymore.

After all, Yue Yue was still young, and suddenly knowing he had two mothers would only make things difficult for him. And meeting his biological mother regularly would make Shi Yulin’s new wife uncomfortable and less attentive to Yue Yue.

The distance now was just right.

Who would have known that when she came back this time, such a thing would happen.

So this is their so-called “fairy-tale love” and “model family”? Damn it, Shi Yulin must be blind. Both of them are birds of a feather.

Seeing the anger flashing in Yan Jing’s eyes, Sheng Xia narrowed her black eyes and sighed softly, “I didn’t expect that Yue Yue’s biological mother would actually be Miss Yan. We’ve been looking for her privately, and it’s really a coincidence.”

She said half-truthfully, “Perhaps it’s destined, unwilling to let Yue Yue suffer?”

“Although it may be presumptuous to say so, Miss Yan, could you tell me about Yue Yue’s situation?” As if reminded, Yan Jing suddenly grabbed Sheng Xia’s hand, her tone pleading, “I can see that Yue Yue really likes you, Miss Sheng, and you take good care of him.”

“Of course, Yue Yue is a good boy, and no one would dislike him.” Sheng Xia nodded readily, and added sincerely, “If Miss Yan is willing to take Yue Yue back, our Feng family can help.”

They could provide money, effort, and lawyers to ensure everything went smoothly.

No need to be polite. As a paragon of virtue, she firmly believed that there are still good people in this world, and this is what should be done!

The system: […]

Yan Jing was deeply moved. After thanking her earnestly, she said firmly, “I want to go see Yue Yue first and hear what he thinks.”

She still had the agreement with the Shi family in her hand. As long as they didn’t want her to post it online, they couldn’t really stop her from meeting her child.

Before, she was concerned about Shi Yue’s dilemma. What was there to be afraid of now?

On the contrary, the one to fear was clearly the Shi family themselves.

She scratched her short hair and sighed in distress, “But I can’t be sure if Yue Yue still recognizes me or if he will come with me. And it may not be stable to talk to him…”

How to get along with children? She was familiar with this.

Sheng Xia sat up straight, her black eyes sparkling, and imparted her experience earnestly, “I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush. What you need most now is patience.”

Top of Form

“You can meet with Yue Yue more times first, let him quickly get to know you, and use this to deepen your relationship…”

Yan Jing’s eyes lit up as well.

Seeing the two of them getting more and more involved in their conversation, Feng Shaoyun felt a bit lost and couldn’t join in. She scratched her head, and Joel glanced at each other, then quietly turned their gaze to the TV screen.

The screen was showing Sheng Xia teasing the camera while deep diving, and the viewers was full of accusations of “naughty wife.”

…Why did she feel that the expression of her sister-in-law just now was so similar to what was on the screen, both with a bit of mischievous smile?

It was very much like they were up to something mischievous, like the appearance of a villain in a TV drama—

Realizing what she was thinking, Feng Shaoyun quickly shook her head. Then she thought carefully about today’s schedule, her beautiful face showing a slight seriousness.

Her sister-in-law probably didn’t know about the relationship between Shi Yue and Yan Jing before, so—

Their date this time must have been sincere! That’s right!
