From that day on, Yue Xin naturally stuck to Yue Qing and took care of her. Her family was a little surprised by the change in their relationship, but they didn’t ask further.
The two of them went to school together, slept together, and stuck together all day long. Although Yue Qing had always despised Yue Xin and was sometimes as vigilant as a frightened leopard, she never rejected her again.
Yue Lingyun was finally discharged and went home to recuperate.
One day, Yue Lingchen called everyone home and talked about that matter. It was about Yue Bin’s actions over the years, the Yue family’s past, and why Yue Qing and Yue Xin were swapped at birth.
Everyone sat down, and the atmosphere instantly became a little oppressive.
Yue Lingchen took the initiative to speak. “Dad, Mom, repeat what you told me about the past. Everyone has grown up.”
Yue Bin looked at the children in front of him and inexplicably recalled being labeled a coward that day. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking about the past.
The Yue family was a large family with many branches. Yue Bin was from the
Yue family main branch. However, no matter which branch the person was in, he had to pass the family assessment. Those who did not pass the assessment would be expelled from the Yue family and could not inherit any family assets. Those who passed the assessment had to give birth to at least six children after marriage. This number was calculated. There would be at least one person who passed the assessment out of every six children. Once no one from a certain branch passed the assessment, they would be expelled from the Yue family along with their parents.
Although Yue Bin was born into such a family, he had parents who loved him and close siblings. From a young age, they thought that everyone could pass the test, but in the end, only Yue Bin passed. He originally thought that his other brothers could rely on him to live their previous lives after being expelled. However, they had all seen the vast world and were unwilling to be ordinary, let alone be given charity.
They started their own businesses and wanted to prove themselves. However, the Yue family was very powerful. In the end, they were suppressed by the Yue family. They did not achieve anything and lost their dignity. In the end, they could not accept reality and had mental problems. Yue Bin’s parents broke down because of the children and chose to commit suicide.
Before Yue Bin’s father passed away, he had told him that if he had not taught the children so much and let them accept their ordinary lives, the children might not have been lost. If he had not invested so much in the children, they would not be in so much pain now.
Yue Bin remembered these words in his heart. He did not want the tragedy to happen again.
“Ling Chen has been very outstanding since he was young. I knew that he would definitely pass the assessment, so your mother and I did our best to love this child. We even fantasized about how good it would be if only all six children were so smart. But in the end, the second and third children were very ordinary. This made me understand that I was destined to lose these two children, so we chose to ignore them and let them adapt to the low point.”
Yue Lingyun lacked emotions and was used to obeying orders in the army, so he did not care about these words. However, Yue Lingfeng clearly cared about such matters.
“There are too many children in the family. In order not to be biased, I distanced myself from Lingchen. I even told Yue Lingchen to fulfill his duty as an elder brother and take care of his younger brothers…”
“Although Lingyu is smart, he’s not in good health. I’m too afraid of losing him, so we’ve been avoiding Lingyu..
Hearing this, Yue Lingyu lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking.
Yue Lingyi asked coldly, “Then why did you raise me like a girl? Did you want a daughter?”
Fang Jing quickly shook her head and said in a choked voice, “No, when you were born, the Yue family provoked a murderer. That person specialized in killing little boys under the age of five. We turned you into a girl to protect you… Little Yi, I’m really sorry…”
As for Yue Xin, they liked her very much, but they also knew that Yue Xin could not pass the family assessment. In order to not let Yue Xin grow up in pain, they deliberately abandoned Yue Xin at the amusement park and asked the people they had contacted to take Yue Xin away and grow up in an ordinary family. In the end, Yue Xin was saved by Lu Yu and ruined their plan. They originally thought that if their daughter married into a good family, she could also live a good life and placed their hopes on Lu Yu, but in the end, Lu Yu was an ingrate.
The trip had been talking about was actually taking care of Yue Bin’s brothers.
“Then why did you chase Yue Xin away?” This was Yue Qing’s problem. Actually, on the day she returned home, Father Yue had asked her to say that she hated Yue Xin so that Yue Xin could leave the Yue family herself.
Yue Bin hesitated for a moment before saying, “I realized that your relationship is getting better and better. I don’t want you to suffer like me in the future.”
“Dad!” Yue Lingchen finally couldn’t take it anymore.. “Have you thought about it? Even if it will be painful in the future, we’re willing!”
