Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Trouble Arrives

“Grandma may love you, but I am the true blood of the Yun family. When it comes to who matters more, I believe she knows the answer in her heart.

Aside from our parents, does it really matter if anyone else acknowledges me? I don’t live for other people. I’m perfectly satisfied with who I am.

Don’t forget, all your happiness was stolen from me. If I hadn’t become that stray dog in the countryside, you’d be nothing!

If someone could abandon their own child, your biological parents can’t be good people either, right? Maybe they’re no better than the family that adopted me—maybe they’re even criminals!

Have you ever thought about what you’d do if one day they saw you living well and came looking for you?

Do you know why Mom and Dad never let you visit their house in Beijing? Because there’s a room there that belongs only to Yun Jiuzhou. And you, the imposter, will never be able to live in it—just like you’ll never truly live in our parents’ hearts.” Yun Jiuzhou shot back, his words just as sharp.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to fight back—on the contrary, when he wanted to, his tongue was as venomous as poison. He just usually didn’t have the chance to let loose.

But Yun Nianzhou had finally pushed him too far.

“Yun Jiuzhou, I—I—” Yun Nianzhou was so agitated he could barely speak. Every word from Yun Jiuzhou stabbed straight into his heart, leaving him gasping for breath.

“What? Let me tell you, from now on, stay out of my way, and don’t go doing any stupid things behind my back.

If things stay as they are, we can still get along. But if someone gets greedy and tries to take more than they should, well, I don’t need to spell out the ending for you. I believe Mom and Dad would never let someone with divided loyalties stay in the Yun family.” With that, Yun Jiuzhou stood up and left.

Before he left, he also took away the pile of things Yun Nianzhou had brought to irritate him.

Just looking at them was annoying. Even though they were originally gifts from Gu Qinghuan, to outsiders, it looked like they were from his own wife. He had to get rid of them.

Yun Jiuzhou’s words were harsh, but there was one point that hit home and made Yun Nianzhou uneasy.

What kind of parents would abandon their own son?

He knew that these days, people abandoned daughters all the time, but he’d never heard of anyone abandoning a son.

What kind of people were his biological parents? Were they really as bad as Yun Jiuzhou said?

A faint sense of unease crept into his heart. What if, one day, they really did come looking for him? What if they were country bumpkins, dirt poor, or even people who couldn’t show their faces in public? How would he face that?

Sometimes, people really shouldn’t overthink things. There’s a kind of invisible force— the more you dwell on something, the more likely it is to happen.

Yun Nianzhou kept a low profile for a while, because Grandma Yun told him that the college entrance exam was about to be reinstated.

She hoped he would work hard, get into university, prove himself, and secure his place in the Yun family.

In short, if he could prove his worth, he would always have a place in the Yun family.

He was determined—no matter what, even if it killed him, he was going to get into a proper university and show Yun Run and his wife that he wasn’t a hopeless case.

But just then, trouble arrived.

A middle-aged woman showed up, claiming to be Yun Nianzhou’s biological mother, saying she had come to find him.

“What did you say? I don’t understand.”

Yun Nianzhou stared at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, his heart in turmoil. The very thing he feared had come to pass. Even though he denied it with his mouth, deep down, he was already half-convinced. After all, the Yun family had never publicly announced that he was adopted—very few people knew about it."
