Ming Yuexuan truly felt like a door to a new world had been opened for her. Things she thought would never happen in the real world were right in front of her eyes.
"So, your dad and Song Yi'an's mom had an affair with each other? Let me be fair. This isn't a first - love story. It's clearly a story about a playboy and a home - wrecker."
This was also the reason why Li Qiyu didn't dare to show the information in her hand to Song Yi'an. The detective's report did prove Song Yi'an's identity. He was indeed the son of Jiang Yongfeng and Song Zhiqiu. But the so - called first love was also true.
The story started with the Jiang family.
Back then, the Jiang family was one of the most prominent families. Just like the Li family today, they were eager to enter the capital's market. At that time, Jiang Yongfeng was still a young miss, while Li Xiangping was just a driver in her family. They did have a relationship, but due to their different social statuses, it soon ended. Li Xiangping married a daughter of the Qiu family. The little driver became a big boss overnight, and the Jiang family moved to the capital.
A few years later, news came that the Jiang family had gone bankrupt and Jiang Yongfeng's parents had committed suicide by burning charcoal.
Jiang Yongfeng was luckily rescued by Song Zhiqiu, the only son of the Song family.
Song Zhiqiu was willing to help Jiang Yongfeng pay off the debts and struggle with her. Because Mr. Song opposed their relationship, Song Zhiqiu changed his surname to Jiang at that time. He would rather give up his status as a Song family member than abandon Jiang Yongfeng.
So, even Jiang Yongfeng's good friends only knew that she had gotten married, but they didn't know that her husband was Mr. Song's only son.
However, Li Xiangping, who was far away in City B, didn't know this news. He thought Jiang Yongfeng had died in the tragedy of her family's suicide. Back then, information was scarce. Moreover, Li Xiangping was a married man, and his wife had just given birth to a child. It wasn't appropriate for him to openly inquire about the Jiang family's news.
Two years later, Jiang Yongfeng had given birth to a son. But for some reason, she left her son behind and returned to City B alone. After the Jiang family's bankruptcy, everyone avoided them like the plague. Jiang Yongfeng had nowhere to go. After Li Xiangping heard this news, he offered her a place to stay. But Jiang Yongfeng only lived there for a month before the wife of the Qiu family came to the door. The Qiu family's daughter drove Jiang Yongfeng out. This incident caused quite a stir. The Qiu family's daughter was determined not to give Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng any face. She said that Jiang Yongfeng had seduced Li Xiangping and even showed their photos in bed. This incident became a topic of gossip for a while, so it was quite easy for the detective to investigate this part.
Half a month after the incident of catching the adultery, Jiang Yongfeng returned to the capital. She stayed in the capital for a year. After Song Zhiqiu's suicide, she took her child and fled the capital, returning to City B. But this time, she didn't contact Li Xiangping again. Instead, she avoided him and survived alone with her child.
As for the matter of exchanging identities with Zhang Lili later, Li Qiyu had already heard about it from Song Yi'an. So when she saw it in the information, it didn't surprise her much.
Ming Yuexuan was holding the information and calculating the timeline. "If I remember correctly, Song Yi'an is only a little over a year older than you. That means when your dad had an affair, your mom was pregnant with you. Having an affair during his wife's pregnancy. That's just outrageous."
Li Qiyu corrected her, "He's not my dad."
Her real father and mother had a deep and loving relationship. In ancient times when it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, there wasn't even a maid in the house. Even though her father was a powerful general outside, at home he was obedient to his wife. He would never do something like having an affair during his wife's pregnancy or being fickle - minded.
Ming Yuexuan sighed, a sigh for Li Xiyu.
"Presumably, Xiyu must have known about these things for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been driven crazy. I used to think her mental illness was caused by Song Yi'an, but now it seems that Song Yi'an has taken a lot of blame for Li Xiangping."
Since Li Qiyu didn't allow Ming Yuexuan to call them "your dad" and "your mom", Ming Yuexuan had to use their real names. Although it seemed a bit disrespectful to the elders, these elders didn't deserve much respect anyway.
Li Qiyu wasn't surprised that Li Xiangping would do such a thing. She had long realized that Li Xiangping wasn't her real father. He was selfish and always put his own interests first. He made Li Xiyu divorce Song Jiashe for this reason, and now he was making her maintain a relationship with Song Yi'an for the same reason.
But Song Yi'an's mom...
"Song Yi'an's mom doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing."
"What? Do you know Song Yi'an's mom?"
"I don't know her. I just heard Song Yi'an mention her. It sounds like his mom is a very reasonable person."
"She's his mom. He definitely won't say bad things about her in front of you. Besides, when this happened, Song Yi'an was only one or two years old. He was too young to know about these things."
"No, it's not right. I feel that Song Yi'an's mom isn't such a person."
"You." Ming Yuexuan mercilessly exposed her, "This is called loving the one and extending the love to what is related to him."
"By the way, how old was big brother when all these things happened?"
"Do you mean Li Yuanhua?" Ming Yuexuan flipped through the information and calculated. "He should have been four or five years old."
"Four or five years old? Do you think he would remember this?"
"Logically speaking, four or five years old is an age when a child starts to understand things. It's hard to say whether he remembers or not. Do you want to ask him?"
Li Qiyu replied with a "hmm".
She definitely wouldn't ask Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng about this. She wouldn't tip off the enemy before everything came to light.
Big brother Li Yuanhua was indeed a suitable person to inquire about this information.
At this time, Ming Yuexuan asked, "But Xiaoyu, why are you digging into these things? I feel that these old stories are very dangerous. No matter what happened before, they are all things of the previous generation. If you expose all these things, not to mention what will happen to your family, it will also be difficult for you and Song Yi'an to get along."
"For Song Yi'an and also for Li Xiyu."
"I can understand it for Xiyu." All the current signs indicated that Li Xiyu was driven to jump into the river because of these messy family affairs.
But for Song Yi'an, Ming Yuexuan couldn't understand.
"Song Yi'an probably wishes he would never know about these past events."
"Then he will be used like a fool for the rest of his life. Jiang Yongfeng, Li Xichi, and Li Xiangping are all using the past feelings to tie him here."
