Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 393: Family (3)

All the questions that popped up one after another in her mind almost burned up all of Duan Yarong’s sanity, making her recklessly want to pounce on Zhao Youlin and find out all the truth about what happened back then.

Though Duan Yarong’s hands did not reach Zhao Youlin. Because the second before she reached out, the man sitting next to her had already taken her hand first, pulling the somewhat emotionally unstable woman back into his arms.

The expression on Zhao Shunrong’s face was not as calm as it usually is, various thoughts ran through his mind. What happened twenty years ago did not only leave a scar on Duan Yarong’s heart, but it also left a knot in the heart of this man.

“Youlin, what the heck is going on here? That child that Rong and I had back then did not die?” Zhao Shunrong did not have much of an expression on his face.

But Duan Yarong knew that his heart too was like her, agitated. Because his hands that were holding her tightly at the moment were actually shaking lightly.

“That is the truth. Grandpa, I think it’s better if you take over from here.” Zhao Youlin met Zhao Shunrong’s gaze. After she thought about it, she chose to toss the issue to the old master.

The old master seemed to have expected things to turn out this way. He nodded and said, “What Youlin said is true. That child…did not die back then, and he is now standing alive and well in front of us.”

The old man’s words successfully shifted the couple’s attention to Han Yichen.

Duan Yarong was concealing tears of shock and excitement in her eyes. She even covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from breaking down and crying out. “You are saying that…this child is…”

The man in question, the only one who knew nothing, frowned slightly because of what they said. What exactly are these people…talking about?

The old master seemed to have seen that Han Yichen was puzzled, so he stopped keeping him guessing. He waved his hand and gestured to Duan Yarong and her husband to sit down again, only then did he unfold his findings over the past days.

“The child that Yarong gave birth to back then was indeed not a dead baby.”

“Then that child…” Duan Yarong could not forget the toddler that the nurse had pulled away from her back then.

Over the years, countless nights, she would dream of that stiff and non-breathing baby. Then, she would hug Zhao Shunrong and cry silently through those sleepless nights.

“That child was given birth by Yarong. He was just a dead baby of a woman who happened to be in a car accident, in which the nurse helped her deliver the baby, and then, she handed him over to Yarong.”

“What? If that child was not mine, how did he appear by my side? And…” Duan Yarong got so worked up that she wanted to stand up, if not for the fact that she was being held tightly by Zhao Shunrong at the moment, she would have jumped up already like before.

That child was actually not hers, but how did that baby show up in her maternity ward? And it was even being carried out as her child for everyone to see and confirm its death?

Although Duan Yarong was well protected, she was not ignorant of everything. On the contrary, as a young lady from a prominent family, she knew it better than anyone else about those dirty tricks pulled by members of prominent families like this.

She did not think of this because she had been still too young back then. The way she thought of things was naturally not as profound, nor as pragmatic as now. Plus, at that time, she was in huge pain because of the fatal blow of losing a child, she naturally did not think of this, but now…

The old master had been watching Duan Yarong’s reaction in silence. Seeing that thoughtful look on her face, he knew that she had realized something. So he continued, “That child was secretly hidden in the delivery room, he was being used to impersonate your son.”

After the old master said that, everyone’s expression changed. Using a dead child to replace a healthy child, how could this happen if there was no ulterior motive?

“Actually, according to my guess, that nurse who assisted the birth should have intended to strangle the child to death directly at that time, however…” The old master recalled all the things he had people find out for him, and a trace of hostility quickly crossed his eyes.

The moment the old master said that, Duan Yarong’s expression changed. She subconsciously turned to look at Han Yichen.

Han Yichen was startled by Duan Yarong’s sudden turn of gaze and he almost instinctively moved his eyes away.

At that short moment just now, he actually saw a trace of fear and worry in the eyes of this woman, who was a complete stranger to him.

It obviously happened more than twenty years ago, did she not think it is too late to worry about him now? Han Yichen thought with mockery.

But he felt a strange emotion because of the way Duan Yarong looked at him just now. Is this how it feels to be cared for by your elders?

The change of expression on Han Yichen’s face only stayed for a short moment, even Zhao Youlin, who was sitting closest to him, did not notice it, though the old master had seen it.

The old master took a look at the mother and son who had hurriedly exchanged a glance with each other. A smile surfaced under his eyes. He explained, “However, when she saw that the newborn child was healthy and vigorous, she could not bring herself to do it. It just so happened that at that time, there was a dead baby left in the delivery room that she did not have time to get rid of, so she went along with it and used the dead baby to replace your baby.”

“But why would she do that? That is my child. The child that I carried in my belly for ten months, the child that I gave birth to!” Duan Yarong looked like she could not accept this result. And her tears finally rolled down at this moment.

She never thought that her child actually did not die because of the accidental injury back then, but he was taken away from her by someone who had bad intentions, resulting in the two people who should have been a family being separated for more than 20 years, not knowing each other, and he had been nearly killed because of various reasons!

Those at the present were unanimously silent after they heard Duan Yarong’s cries. Why else would the nurse who assisted in delivery do such a thing? It was for money, for profit, of course.

Zhao Shunrong did not say anything, but his hands, which were holding Duan Yarong in his arms, obviously tightened a little.

The old master sighed. He was well aware that the reason why that would happen to his grandson was directly related to the glory of the Zhao family.

If it were not for the fact that they were members of the Zhao family, and were valued and favored by him, they would not have experienced such a thing.

A mother and son were separated from each other for more than twenty years. In the end, it was the Zhao family name that owed them both!

Zhao Youlin saw that the atmosphere in the room was really too somber. She cleared her throat and took the initiative to lead the topic in other directions. “Grandpa, you just said that this is just your guess. How can you be sure that that nurse actually had the intention to kill the baby at that time?”
