Chapter 36
Chapter 36
[If I were Yang Jie, I’d agree to the divorce.]
[Unfortunately, Yang Jie is more of a lovesick fool than my second brother.]
Ye Leyao glanced at Huo Yan.
[But my second brother isn’t that bad; at least he hasn’t raised three children that aren’t his for over ten years, right?]
[At most, my second brother only helped raise them for two months.]
[And my second brother’s values are way more upright than Yang Jie’s. The Yang family is completely messed up.]
Huo Yan: “...”
Could Ye Leyao stop pulling him out for comparison every time he encountered a love-struck person?
Also, he really wasn’t love-struck!
Huo Jing, Papa Huo and Mama Huo happened to turn their heads to look at Huo Yan.
The three of them were unanimous:
No, you are.
“He was already four months pregnant.” Huo Jing’s voice was very light, his tone despondent.
Mama Huo’s gaze was reproachful: “And you still wanted to cut ties with the family.”
Huo Yan: “...”
Stop scolding him; stop scolding him; he was already sweating profusely!
And they came here today to watch the fun, not to dig up his old accounts!
Spare him! Please!
Receiving Huo Yan’s pleading look, the Huo family members all had a slight curve at the corners of their mouths before turning their heads back to continue watching the excitement.
Seeing the tears on Jiang Fang and Yang Tian’s faces, Yang Jie instantly got anxious and hurriedly ran over to them: “What happened?”
Jiang Fang was holding Yang Tian with tears streaming down. She threw the rope in her hand to the ground, choking up as she said, “Ask your good sister-in-law and your good nephew what they did!”
Yang Jie looked at the rope in front of him, his face instantly turning very ugly, and he angrily asked Yang Yuan, “Yang Yuan, what exactly did you do to Xiao Tian?!”
“Yelling and shouting in front of so many guests—what kind of behavior is that?” At this moment, a stern and solemn voice came from the doorway.
Ye Leyao immediately looked over and got excited:
[Old Master Yang and Yang Kun are here too; now the Yang family is all together.]
Yang Kun was supporting the elderly Old Master Yang, standing at the doorway, with a few guests beside them. It looked like they were in the middle of a tour and heard the commotion upstairs, so they all came up together.
Seeing Old Master Yang, Madam Yang’s expression changed slightly, looking a bit worried as she glanced at Yang Yuan.
Yang Kun gave her a reassuring look.
Seeing Old Master Yang, Yang Jie, as if seeing his support, directly turned to him and complained, “Dad, you have to stand up for me!”
Old Master Yang, supported by Yang Kun, slowly walked in, sweeping his gaze around the room, finally resting his eyes on Yang Yuan, and asked in a deep voice, “Xiao Yuan, what happened?”
Yang Yuan felt a bit annoyed.
Just this little matter, who exactly told the old man? His legs weren’t even good, yet he specially climbed up to the fourth floor.
Yang Yuan didn’t want this matter to affect Old Master Yang’s good mood, but if he didn’t say it, Yang Jie would add fuel to the fire when telling the old man later. So Yang Yuan could only explain the whole story in detail.
When Yang Yuan mentioned that he had tied Yang Tian to the sofa and spanked him, Yang Jie was so angry that his face turned red.
He directly yelled at Yang Yuan, “Yang Yuan! We couldn’t even bear to hit Xiao Tian; how dare you, as his older brother, hit him?”
“Get it straight, I hit him because he hit my mom first.” Yang Yuan rolled his eyes, “He also secretly went to my room to steal my merchandise. When I asked him who he was, he didn’t say. I thought he was a thief. He was in the wrong first, so what’s wrong with me hitting him a few times? It’s not like he lost a piece of flesh.”
“If you dare to hit me, my dad will hit you!” Yang Tian suddenly poked his head out of Jiang Fang’s arms, saying fiercely.
[Yang Yuan really hit too lightly just now!]
Everyone who heard Ye Leyao’s inner thoughts nodded in agreement.
They have never seen such an unrepentant child!
The education in Yang Jie’s family was really too twisted.
Yang Yuan’s face darkened, and he immediately glared at Yang Tian, threateningly waving the plastic knife in his hand.
Yang Tian, who was really hurt by the beating earlier, was startled at the sight and shrank back into Jiang Fang’s arms.
“Mom, I’m so scared!”
Jiang Fang, with an angry face, said, “Yang Yuan! You’re still scaring him!”
Yang Jie chimed in, “Your merchandise is just a bunch of useless papers, right? They’re not worth anything. What’s wrong with letting Xiao Tian play with them?”
Ye Leyao was getting angrier just hearing this.
[It’s none of your business whether his merchandise is worth anything. Even if it’s worthless, it’s still his. Why should he let him tear it up?]
[Following Yang Jie’s logic, Yang Yuan thinks Yang Jie’s son is also worthless, so can Yang Yuan tear your son up?]
Yang Yuan was also furious with Yang Jie’s twisted reasoning: “That is my stuff; why should I let him play with it?”
“Why can’t you let him play with it? He didn’t even tear your merchandise this time. Besides, Xiao Tian is your younger brother. Yang Yuan, can you, as the older brother, not be so petty?” Yang Jie said angrily.
Yang Yuan’s anger was rising, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Old Master Yang speak slowly: “Xiao Yuan, your uncle is right.”
Yang Yuan’s expression changed suddenly, looking at Old Master Yang in disbelief: “Grandpa—”
Before he could finish, he heard Old Master Yang continue: “Just like your uncle said, Xiao Yuan, you didn’t really hurt Xiao Tian. Also, Yang Jie is Xiao Yuan’s real uncle. Yang Jie, can you, as an uncle, not be generous and hold a grudge against a child?”
When Old Master Yang finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment.
Ye Leyao burst into laughter first:
[Pfft—hahaha.]
The Huo family members also reacted, barely holding back their laughter.
They had thought Old Master Yang was here to smooth things over, but it turned out he was here to back up Yang Yuan!
Yang Yuan clearly hadn’t expected Old Master Yang to say that either. His previously drooping mouth corners immediately lifted up again, and he laughed out loud: “Hehe.”
He knew Grandpa was fair!
On the other hand, Yang Jie stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds after hearing Old Master Yang’s words, then spoke with disbelief: “Dad, what did you say?”
“What did I say?” Old Master Yang sneered, “Aren’t I just using your reasoning to speak the truth?”
Yang Jie was so stunned by Old Master Yang’s words that he couldn’t speak for a while.
Jiang Fang couldn’t bear it anymore, directly standing up with Yang Tian in her arms and looking at Yang Jie with red eyes: “Yang Jie, your son was wronged today; are you really going to swallow your pride?”
Yang Jie hurriedly comforted Jiang Fang, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get an explanation for this! Don’t get upset; don’t get upset...”
After a few words of comfort to Jiang Fang, Yang Jie turned around and angrily questioned the old man, “Dad! Both of them are your grandsons, how can you be so biased?”
[Hey, hey, you misspoke; Yang Tian really isn’t Old Master Yang’s grandson!]
Ye Leyao quickly corrected.
Unfortunately, apart from the Huo family and Qin Yao, the Yang family couldn’t hear Ye Leyao’s inner thoughts.
Old Master Yang then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down, his expression unchanged, “If you want to say I’m biased, weren’t you just biased toward Yang Tian?”
[Using his own logic against him, so satisfying!]
Ye Leyao almost stood up to applaud.
Yang Jie choked on these words; his throat constricted, and he couldn’t speak again.
Jiang Fang realized that none of the people present were speaking up for them. Her eyes reddened immediately, “Since Dad has said this, it seems we shouldn’t have come to this banquet today. Fine, I’ll take Yang Tian and leave now—”
At this moment, an unexpected event occurred.
Yang Tian suddenly pulled his hand from Jiang Fang’s grip and pushed her hard on the back.
Caught off guard, Jiang Fang cried out and fell heavily to the ground, hitting her forehead on the coffee table, and blood instantly gushed out.
Yang Jie was shocked and quickly went to help Jiang Fang.
At that moment, Yang Tian grabbed a cup from the table and threw it at Old Master Yang.
Everyone was taken aback.
“Yang Tian!” Yang Kun instinctively moved to shield Old Master Yang.
But Yang Yuan was even faster. He kicked the cup mid-air, sending it flying, and it shattered into countless pieces upon hitting the ground.
In the next instant, without giving anyone time to react, Yang Yuan kicked Yang Tian in the stomach.
“Are you insane?!”
Yang Tian was kicked so hard that he flew out and landed heavily with a thud.
Jiang Fang, completely ignoring her own head injury, saw her precious son hurt again and started crying, “Yang Tian!”
Then he heard Qin Yao say quietly, “Or could it be, Uncle Yang Jie, you still haven’t noticed how much Yang Tian looks like his uncle?”
This sentence was like a thunderclap.
The guests all turned to look at Zhong Kang and Yang Tian.
Zhong Kang never expected that the Yang family’s affairs would involve him. At this moment, he also looked at Yang Tian on the ground with a look of disbelief.
Yang Tian was raised very fat by Yang Jie and Jiang Fang, but a child in his teens already has distinct facial features. Even if he is fat, his features won’t change.
Yang Tian has a flat nose.
Zhong Kang has the same.
Yang Tian has single eyelids.
So does Zhong Kang.
The more they compared their features, the more the guests’ expressions became colorful.
“They really do look alike?”
“Though it’s said nephews resemble uncles, isn’t Zhong Kang and Jiang Fang supposed to be stepbrother and sister...”
Yang Jie stood there as if struck by lightning. He looked at Yang Tian on the ground, then at Zhong Kang, and his gaze fell on Zhong Kang’s hand on Jiang Fang’s shoulder.
“You—”
It was as if Jiang Fang suddenly snapped out of it, and she pushed Zhong Kang away.
“Yang Jie!” Jiang Fang said with grievance, “I’ve given you three children, do you still not trust me?”
“Does that mean none of the three children are his?” Ye Leyao suddenly poked his head out from behind Qin Yao.
Yang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: “Is that for real?”
Jiang Fang immediately flew into a rage, “What nonsense are you talking about—”
Qin Yao quickly shielded Ye Leyao again, “If it’s not true, a DNA test will clear things up, won’t it?”
Huo Yan quickly pulled Ye Leyao aside and whispered, “Can you keep quiet while watching the drama?”
Ye Leyao blinked and obediently nodded.
But he thought to himself:
[Alright, I’ll just say less later, so as not to make things worse.]
Huo Yan: “...”
You haven’t made things worse already?
Qin Yao at least just said that Yang Tian wasn’t Yang Jie’s biological son, but you directly told Yang Jie that none of his children are his! Wouldn’t Yang Jie be devastated?
In fact, Yang Jie was indeed somewhat devastated at this moment.
He didn’t want to believe Qin Yao’s words, and he trusted his beloved Jiang Fang more, but his eyes couldn’t lie.
Yang Tian clearly had no blood relation to Zhong Kang, but could someone explain to him why their facial features were so similar?
It was almost like—
They were carved from the same mold!
Yang Jie stared blankly at the two of them, speaking in disbelief, “No... it can’t be, right?”
Zhong Kang also thought it was impossible.
He did like Jiang Fang, but they only had that one time...
Zhong Kang suddenly shivered.
Could it be that one time?
Zhong Kang’s expression immediately became very complicated. He had never liked his nephew, Yang Tian, so when he saw that Yang Jie had spoiled the child, he never intervened.
But now he was being told that the nephew he always disliked was actually his own son?
Zhong Kang’s voice was hoarse as he looked down at Jiang Fang beside him, “Jiang Fang, Xiao Tian, he...”
Jiang Fang’s mental state was gradually collapsing.
She had kept the secret that Yang Tian was Zhong Kang’s son very well; no one but her knew!
How did Qin Yao find out?
And that unfamiliar young man just now—he even knew that her two daughters weren’t Yang Jie’s children!
Her biggest secret had been exposed face to face, and Jiang Fang was in a panic. Hearing Zhong Kang’s voice, she completely broke down, “No! How could Xiao Tian be your son?!”
“Xiao Tian is Yang Jie’s and my son,” Jiang Fang muttered, “Yes, he is our son!”
“I don’t want to stay here any longer...” Jiang Fang looked at Yang Jie with tear-filled eyes and said, “Yang Jie, can we go home now? Can we leave now?”
Yang Jie was silent.
He stared blankly at Jiang Fang. When Yang Tian pushed her just now, he used a lot of force, splitting her forehead open with blood still seeping out.
“We...” Yang Jie’s voice was hoarse, “Let’s go to the hospital first?”
At least they needed to treat the wound on her head, right?
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the word ‘hospital’, Jiang Fang completely lost it, shouting, “You don’t trust me! Yang Jie, do you not trust me?!”
Old Master Yang looked at the hysterical Jiang Fang, then at Yang Tian, who had stopped crying, and nodded at Yang Kun.
The next moment, security guards came in from outside, dragging the three of them out.
Jiang Fang’s emotions immediately became more agitated, “Let go of me—I can walk by myself. I won’t go to the hospital...”
Hearing her last sentence, the light in Yang Jie’s eyes completely dimmed.
He only wanted to take Jiang Fang to the hospital to bandage her wound, not for a DNA test. Why was Jiang Fang so afraid of going to the hospital?
The answer was already clear, but Yang Jie didn’t dare to look at it.
The security guards escorted Yang Jie, Jiang Fang, Yang Tian, and Zhong Kang downstairs.
Yang Jie quickly looked at Old Master Yang, but he didn’t even glance at him.
Then he looked at Yang Kun, whose eyes were calm, without a trace of emotion.
At that moment, Yang Jie’s heart sank to the bottom of the ocean.
Was he completely abandoned by the Yang family?
What was he going to do now?
Yang Tian started crying and fussing again, even kicking and punching the security guards.
Previously, the security guards would have tolerated it.
But Yang Kun had just told them not to be too polite, so they didn’t need to be.
One of the security guards directly twisted Yang Tian’s arm behind his back. With a crack, the little fat boy immediately screamed.
[Beautiful!]
Ye Leyao watched with great pleasure.
If it were before, Yang Jie would have immediately scolded the security guards if they mistreated his precious son. But at this moment, he only found Yang Tian’s voice annoying.
Instead, Zhong Kang couldn’t help but speak up, “Be gentle! If anything happens to the child...”
“Can you shut up?!” Jiang Fang lost control and shouted at Zhong Kang.
Zhong Kang instantly fell silent.
At the villa entrance, the security guards directly threw them out.
Yang Tian got up and walked towards Yang Jie, “Dad! You have to get revenge for me, those two just now—”
“Slap!” Yang Jie suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yang Tian, shouting, “It’s all your fault!”
Seeing this, Jiang Fang immediately burst into tears, “Yang Jie, what are you doing?!”
What was there for Yang Jie not to understand now?
No matter how unwilling he was to believe it, the truth was already laid bare before him.
Yang Jie glared at Jiang Fang with bloodshot eyes, “He’s not even my son?! What’s wrong with me hitting him?!”
“If it weren’t for him, if it weren’t for you—”
“How could my relationship with my father and brother have become so strained?”
“How could they be so heartless as to throw me out...” Yang Jie was drained of energy. He slowly stood up, ready to leave alone, when he suddenly noticed Yang Tian picking up a stone from the flower bed and walking towards him with a sinister look.
Yang Jie’s blood ran cold. He couldn’t hold back anymore and pinned Yang Tian down, “You little bastard, you dare to attack me with a stone—”
The villa door hadn’t fully closed, and through the gap, the guests could clearly see the “father and son” fighting.
The bad seeds Yang Jie sowed in the past were finally reaping their own consequences.
