Chapter 1464: No Way Out

Feng Ciye’s expression changed along with his gaze, gradually revealing a hint of inquiry, followed by a slight urge to laugh bitterly.

Tuanzi said that the Feng Mo was his guardian, the current Family Head of the Feng Family in that world.

And the middle-aged woman in front of them seemed to be explaining something.

The entire Feng Family, only he was alone, even Feng Mo had his biological mother still alive...

But.

Feng Ciye suddenly looked up at Su Li and Feng Huaijin and saw the doubt in their eyes; something felt off.

The middle-aged woman Du Lu felt embarrassed and cautious upon hearing Feng Huaijin’s words.

Feng Huaijin gently hugged Su Li, glanced at her leisurely, and said calmly, "Since I’m asking you this, it’s natural that I have some evidence in hand. You just need to tell me if it’s true."

Upon hearing this, Du Lu’s face gradually showed a hint of shame. She clasped her already gradually rough hands together and said awkwardly, "Yes, I did indeed give birth to a son twenty-four years ago."

She hurriedly waved her hands, crying out, "But I was also helpless. I really had no choice. After all, he’s a piece of my flesh; if I truly had no other option, how could I have left him at the doorstep of the orphanage, isn’t that right?"

The three people present remained silent, making Du Lu feel even more awkward.

Feeling somewhat displeased, Du Lu said with a sullen face, "I only came to ask if you know Mo Yu’s address, not to be interrogated like a prisoner."

Su Li grabbed Feng Huaijin’s sleeve tightly, unable to help but say, "She left a baby boy at the entrance of Ancheng Orphanage twenty-four years ago... Senior Brother."

Su Li was already so frightened her scalp tingled; the Senior Brother she had always respected as if he were an ancestor turned out to be her fiancé’s half-brother?

Even though she had already mentally prepared beforehand, Su Li still felt a strange mix of emotions upon suddenly learning the truth.

After being shocked for a while, Su Li suddenly frowned and said, "No, that’s not right..."

Feng Ciye placed his hands on his knees and was the first to voice the doubt in her mind: "No, if you gave birth to a baby boy twenty-four years ago, you should be seeking out the father, why were you out of options?"

Twenty-four years ago, the Du Family went bankrupt, the Feng Family and Du Family broke off the engagement, Du Lu became their father’s mistress, had a child, and would certainly seek out the father.

The Feng Family Master was always quite open-minded about illegitimate children and would even give them a share of the family inheritance. Why would Du Lu be out of options?

Unless...

The eyes of Su Li and her companions began to turn strange...

Du Lu couldn’t hold back her embarrassment anymore, starting to stammer.

Su Li couldn’t help but rub her brow, her face showing a look of astonishment.

Having an illegitimate child out of wedlock and being out of options—this most likely meant that... the child wasn’t actually a part of the Feng Family. How could Father Feng accept that? Moreover, if his mistress was pregnant with another man’s child, he would probably fly into a rage soon enough, wouldn’t he? This is truly being out of options.

Du Lu’s face darkened, speaking with anger in her voice: "So what if he wasn’t the Feng Family’s? That was over twenty years ago. It’s not up to you juniors to criticize, is it?"

Su Li was left completely speechless, her mood gradually becoming complex. Her Senior Brother’s biological parents turned out to be like this...
