“It’s such a coincidence. Fate really seems to be playing with people sometimes!” He sighed wisely.
Never did he expect for the world to still be so small with its over six billion population; after the twists and turns, they turned out to be family.
That being said, his grandfather, a family head, was Gong Shaoying.
His mouth twitched at the corner.
Life was indeed mysterious and wonderful!
“Your mother gave birth to you when she was just eighteen?”
Gong Jie ended up posing his burning question. “Being pregnant with you at such a young age, she’s probably still in school and had yet to graduate, right? Why did she give birth so early?”
His question stumped the boy and he did not give his uncle a response at first notice.
He then ambiguously answered, “Actually, mommy gave birth to twins. I still have an older brother!”
He avoided the subject.
How could he bring up what had happened seven years ago?!
Seven years ago, faced with her adoptive Yun family’s company’s imminent bankruptcy, his mother signed a surrogacy contract with the Mus to help pay off their debts. If his uncle found out about that, he would surely hold another bloody grudge against the Mu family.
He would be unable to dispel his hatred for them in this lifetime.
“Is she married?”
The man was very concerned about this problem.
Touching his nose, Youyou answered, “Yes, but because of mommy’s special status, they have yet to hold a wedding.”
To him, his parents were already married. All they lacked were a certificate and a grand wedding.
Speaking of which, his parents were actually cohabiting.
“What status?”
“Mommy is a celebrity! She’s currently busy with her career, and that’s why the wedding keeps getting postponed.”
However, the more his uncle heard, the more confused he became. “She’s an unwed mother, then?”
The corner of the boy’s lips tugged slightly. “Yes, you can say that.”
Gong Jie’s eyes twitched.
“Why not get married since they already have kids? The reputation as an unwed mother isn’t good for a woman if the news gets leaked!”
His tone suddenly turned frosty. “Is that jerk messing around with my sister?”
Youyou was startled by his aggressive tone. “Calm down, uncle! Calm down; don’t get agitated!”
“…”
The man was unable to calm down, though.
He would get all serious whenever Yun Shishi was in the picture.
“Uncle, too much concern leads to confusion; calm down for a bit! If daddy can’t give mommy a status, I’ll be the first to disapprove of their relationship!” The boy elegantly laughed.
“Who is the man, anyway?”
He gritted through clenched teeth.
Somehow, he held a great deal of hostility toward his sister’s man.
He reeked of jealousy!
The boy broke out in a cold sweat.
He could finally see it clearly.
This Gong Jie was actually a siscon1…
His lips twitched at the corner as he gave him a cursory reply. “I’m about to eat dinner now. Let’s talk again when we’re free, uncle! I’m ending the call.”
“Wait, you haven’t answered my question yet—”
Before the man could complete his words, he ended the call.
His mother had just returned home when he walked into the dining room. His twin flew right into her arms before he could react.
“Mommy, you’re back!”
Little Yichen embraced her cheerfully.
One day apart seemed like three years.
Youyou shot his brother a look; what a sticky little lad he was!
The woman bowed and stroked his head. “Little Yichen, did you behave at home?”
