He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 186 That Secret

"Let's talk on the phone."

Now that the call had been connected, Siyi naturally had no intention of hanging up.

No amount of resentment can compare to the fact that she gave him life.

Siyi knew that deep down she still couldn't bring herself to truly sever ties with her. "I have a lot of things to do..."

"Your dad is with me."

Guan Fengru interrupted her, saying calmly, "We have something to tell you, or you can come find us."

Siyi was taken aback. She remembered that she had been running around for the past few days because of Jiang Yanhui's case and hadn't seen Ye Xiongming for several days. How could they be together?

"where are you?"

Guan Fengru gave an address, but Siyi was still somewhat confused. Before hanging up, she asked suspiciously, "What...are you doing there?"

"Come here, your father and I have something very important to tell you." On the phone, Guan Fengru seemed unwilling to say anything more. Ye Xiongming's body was still recovering, and now the two of them were in that place, and they kept calling her over. What could it be?

Siyi hung up the phone and, without much hesitation, took a taxi directly there.

It was a cemetery in City A. When Siyi arrived, it was already evening. The sun was setting, the weather was somewhat gloomy, and the cemetery was exceptionally quiet. Siyi met Guan Fengru and Ye Xiongming, who was still sitting in a wheelchair, at the entrance of the cemetery.

“Dad…” She walked over quickly, glanced at Guan Fengru, and squatted down in front of Ye Xiongming. “What are you doing here?” She didn’t remember any of her Ye family’s deceased relatives being buried here, and she had never been to this cemetery before.

"...Si...Siyi...I heard from your mother...Mom said..." Ye Xiongming still had some difficulty speaking. He had been taking antibiotics since his surgery. He was doing well with his heart, but the stroke hadn't completely healed. However, his speech was much clearer than before.

Siyi's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She tilted her head back and glanced at Guan Fengru standing behind Ye Xiongming's wheelchair. She took a deep breath before asking, "What's the matter?"

Guan Fengru kept her eyes fixed on Siyi for a long while before pushing Ye Xiongming into the cemetery, saying as she walked, "Come in with us."

Upon arriving at this point, Siyi also stood up and followed the two people in front of her inside.

The path was paved with gravel, and there were many trees planted along the sides. A gentle breeze would blow, and the leaves would occasionally rustle. It was a very soft sound, but for some reason, it gave Siyi an uneasy feeling.

She had been following Guan Fengru for quite some time. When they reached the very center of the cemetery, Guan Fengru stopped in front of a tombstone. Ye Xiongming turned around and, upon seeing the small photo on the tombstone, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Siyi could clearly see that the muscles in his face were trembling, and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he would collapse at any moment.

But his gaze as he looked at the photo was filled with a deep longing.

Siyi was increasingly astonished. What on earth was going on?

She followed Ye Xiongming's gaze and glanced at the photo on the tombstone. It was a woman's photo, with delicate features, and a single glance could warm one's heart.

Especially when she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes curve like a crescent moon in the sky. A woman like that makes you feel warm at first glance. However, if you look more closely, you'll find that the woman in the photo has some similarities in her features and expression to Guan Fengru.

"What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Siyi frowned as she looked at Ye Xiongming, who was still staring intently at the photo on the tombstone. He seemed to be losing control of his emotions, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the woman's eyebrows and eyes in the photo. Siyi was even more suspicious, "Dad... what... what are you doing? Do you know her?"

But no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't seem to remember anyone by that name.

Who is this person?

Why was Dad so emotional when he saw her?

And Mom... she didn't seem angry at her husband's overly affectionate behavior towards another woman; instead, she looked sad.

"Siyi, there are some things that Mom really thought she would never tell you in this lifetime."

Guan Fengru looked at Siyi with a deep gaze, sighed softly, and placed her hand on Ye Xiongming's shoulder. After a long while, she continued, "...But seeing how you've been getting more and more mired in this lately, and how you won't listen to anything I say, I knew that if I didn't tell you something, you might regret it later."

"What are you talking about?" Siyi looked at Guan Fengru with a blank expression.

“Siyi…” Guan Fengru’s eyes reddened. She pointed to the woman’s photo on the tombstone and suddenly said, “I am not your biological mother. The woman on this tombstone is your biological mother.”

a bolt from the blue!

Siyi shook violently.

In that instant, it was as if everything around me had lost its color, and as if something cold had suddenly poured into my internal organs.

It was an indescribable feeling. She swayed precariously, clinging to the tree trunk beside her, staring blankly and helplessly at the two people in front of her. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

"Siyi".

Guan Fengru felt very sorry for her when she saw her like this, but sometimes people have to accept some pain to know the truth. The words had already been spoken, and she would not take them back. "I'm sorry... I'm only telling you this now. You must be very surprised. I... I always thought that this secret would stay with me for the rest of my life, and that it would rot in my belly and be taken to my grave. But I never dreamed that I would tell you all this today."

“Her name is Guan Fengying, she’s my sister. Neither you nor your older brother know, but I actually have another sister, and that’s her. All these years, your father and I have kept it from you because we didn’t want you to bear too much. Siyi, your world should be beautiful. Your biological mother went through so much hardship, so she always told me she wanted to give you the best of everything, and I truly wanted to give you the best. You’ve done so well. Seeing your excellent academic performance from elementary school to university, and your outstanding work after entering society, I really feel at peace…”

"What are you saying? What are you saying...?"

Siyi felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if something was weighing heavily on her head. She couldn't listen anymore; it was all too sudden. How did it all happen? How could she suddenly not be her parents' daughter? Then who was she? And who was the woman on this tombstone?

younger sister……

She had no idea when she had a younger sister. What happened?

"Siyi, calm down and let me tell you the whole truth."

Seeing Siyi's agitated expression, Guan Fengru stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, only to find it icy cold and trembling slightly. She could only pull hard, saying, "I know you can't accept this right now, but there are some things you don't know, and I'm really afraid you'll continue making mistakes. Siyi, you can't be with Jiang Yanhui. Do you know why I've always been so against you associating with the Jiang family, yet I'm entangled with Jiang Jizhen myself? I'm not really betraying your father; this is just my plan, my revenge plan!"

With a loud "boom!"

Something suddenly shattered completely in my chest.

Siyi's whole body tensed up.

It was as if the most unacceptable and least desirable thing had been cruelly laid bare before one's eyes.

She began to tremble violently, a torrent of emotions churning within her, making it impossible for her to calm down. Almost instinctively, she struggled free of her hands, shaking her head violently. "...No, stop talking! Stop talking! I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear anything! Impossible... This can't be... Stop talking..."

She frantically covered her ears and turned to leave, but Guan Fengru grabbed her arm.

“Siyi…”

“Si...Siyi...Siyi…” Another muffled thud came from behind. Ye Xiongming, probably trying to chase after Siyi, had fallen off his wheelchair in his haste. Seeing this, Guan Fengru let go of Siyi and went to help Ye Xiongming. Ye Xiongming’s voice was broken and excited, “...Don’t, don’t go...Daddy...Daddy is...Daddy is really...Siyi...Listen...Listen to what your mother says...Listen to what she has to say…”

Siyi's lips trembled, and a voice inside her screamed hysterically, "Get out of here! This is all a lie!"

Perhaps it's a nightmare, and when I wake up, I'll return to reality.

But it felt as if nails had grown into my feet, and I just stood there woodenly, without even the strength to move.

"Siyi, don't be so willful, okay?"

While supporting Ye Xiongming, Guan Fengru knelt on the ground, tears finally streaming down her face. Afraid that Siyi might suddenly turn and leave, she didn't care anymore and, in a hoarse voice, shouted, "You're not the kind of person who runs away from reality. Now that things have been said, do you think you can still run away? Siyi, I just want to tell you that your biological mother was harmed by Jiang Jizhen. She lay in bed for twenty years, suffering terribly. Such a gentle and lovely woman, in the end, was just skin and bones. You have no idea how much pain she endured. When she died, even her own daughter couldn't be by her side."

“Siyi, Jiang Jizhen is the one who killed your mother, and his son Jiang Yanhui is not someone you can choose.”
