Chapter 1322 - 873: Conclusion of the Pu Family Sisters

"You... never mentioned these things about Xiao Yan and his son to me before..."

Pu Wei looked at Pu Yang, and there was a hint of skepticism in her indifferent words, after all...

"I am your own sister, I always thought Xiao Xiaoang was Xiao Yan’s biological child."

Pu Yang glanced at Pu Wei’s stunned expression and chuckled lightly, "Telling you or not telling you isn’t that important, moreover... I promised Xiao Yan not to tell anyone, so having one less person know is only beneficial, not harmful, and it has nothing to do with you being my sister."

She’s not wrong, but Pu Wei felt uneasy.

Pu Wei knew her family weren’t exactly paragons of virtue, but what she was always proud of was that their family of four was very united, no matter what went wrong, they wouldn’t hide things from each other, and wouldn’t neglect family.

Maybe Pu Wei was overthinking it, not everything can be shared.

Pu Yang withheld information from her, and also from their parents... maybe that’s why Pu Yang is more guaranteed and meticulous in her actions.

"You promised Xiao Yan to keep it secret..."

"Yes, I promised Xiao Yan to keep it secret. Because... it was the condition for him to be with me."

"..." Pu Wei really couldn’t stay calm now, "I, I always thought Xiao Yan genuinely liked you..."

"The only person he ever liked was Shen Huan, but at that age, what did he really know about liking someone..." Pu Yang spoke with a sneer on her delicate face.

"...but at the same age, you already knew you deeply loved Xiao Yan."

"Sis, don’t get me wrong, I do like Xiao Yan, he’s a decent man, but feelings are the most elusive things in the world." Pu Yang said coldly, "Do you think relationships between people are maintained by feelings? Even mom and dad, it’s just because they are strong partners and benefit from being together. That’s why their relationship has always been stable."

"What I value most is his family’s background in medicine, let’s not even mention Xiao Kaicheng, the old dean, who has a great reputation throughout the medical field, his father Xiao Anhe is an eccentric genius with exceptional medical skills and... wealthy beyond measure."

"This is just like when you wanted to marry into the Yin Family for the same reason. But you thought your seamless design could always continue, do you know what went wrong?"

"..."

"You made the mistake of wanting Yin Shixiu’s feelings, wanting him to marry you out of love for you."

"..."

"The human heart is the hardest to control, yet you want someone’s heart? Sometimes I think you and Su Xiaomeng are equally silly to the point of being speechless."

This was truly the first time Pu Yang sat down and talked so openly and sincerely with her.

Previously, Pu Wei never knew Pu Yang had such thoughts, or that she had so many views and insights on every issue.

"If you were like me, using a different approach to make Yin Shixiu have no choice but to marry you, wouldn’t that be good? Your original goal was to have the status of the Yin family’s matriarch, wanting the surname ’Yin’. Why bother with feelings?"

"...Xiao Yang, back then, I really did fall in love with Yin Shixiu."

"I know, otherwise you wouldn’t have ended up in such a miserable situation."

"You might not understand how I felt when I was with him at that time, I just thought he was the brightest star in the sky, the one worth looking up to moment by moment. A person watches this star every day, the more they look, the more extraordinary it seems, the more they look—"

Pu Wei suddenly drifted into memories, and Pu Yang promptly interrupted her by raising her hand,

"Enough, no matter how much you love him, he doesn’t love you."

This statement quickly brought Pu Wei back to reality.

She took a deep breath and changed the subject, "So, did Xiao Yan tell you where this child came from?"

"I said I knew Shen Huan wasn’t pregnant, and kept asking him where the child actually came from. He was pressed by me and finally confessed, saying the child was one he picked up."

"You believed him?"

"I believed him because Xiao Yan said he planned to treat this child as his own, and in the future, he would be the child of him and Shen Huan. As long as I was willing to keep it secret for him, he would be willing to date me, and when the time was right, he was willing to marry me."

"I see..."

"Xiao Yan is a very intelligent man, he knows exactly what I want, so he’s not doing it out of kindness. As Xiao Xiaoang grew up bit by bit, the timing had also become more opportune. Getting married now is the best time."

"But earlier this year, he added a condition that he and I cannot have children."

"Oh... no wonder you had a fierce argument with mom and dad that day and even left home."

"If I don’t put on a good show for him, how would he believe I’m genuinely willing?"

"Xiao Yan is doing all this just to make that child believe he’s Xiao Yan’s own and to keep this secret by sacrificing his marriage?"

"Sis, I am also a very good woman, aren’t I?"

Pu Yang laughed,

"Who is he marrying doesn’t matter, do you think everyone in this life has the chance to marry for true love? When the right age comes, even if one doesn’t find a partner, parents would anxiously help to match them up."

"How can someone as smart as Xiao Yan not think of this? So, marrying me is truly not a loss for him at all; he’s shrewd."

Pu Wei listened to Pu Yang say this and unconsciously smiled, "You? You never intended to let that child live past your honeymoon period, and yet you call yourself a good woman?"

Pu Yang’s expression slightly stiffened, warning Pu Wei with her eyes...

Pu Wei quickly covered her mouth, "I spoke wrongly."

"These years, I’ve actually been uneasy sometimes. I’ve been thinking, what if one day Xiao Yan regrets it, and he thinks that even if he tells Xiao Xiaoang that he’s adopted and not Xiao Yan’s biological child, it wouldn’t matter? Then I’d lose my leverage."

"But seeing Xiao Xiaoang grow up, Xiao Yan is genuinely good to him; the kind of attitude and action that truly treats Xiao Xiaoang as his own son puts me at ease."

"At the same time, you also feel perplexed, right? An adopted child, why is Xiao Yan so kind to him, treating him like his own son without any blood relation, proclaiming to everyone that this is his real son, and even saying everything of the Xiao Family’s future belongs to this child? Is it necessary to go this far..."

Pu Wei echoed.

Pu Yang nodded, "Yes, very perplexed. Is Xiao Yan just this benevolent? Just this reckless... Now, I’ve figured it out."

The two had talked for so long, and none of the conversation was wasted; Pu Yang traced her thoughts one bit at a time to come to a conclusion...

Meanwhile, following Pu Yang’s thinking, even if Pu Wei was slow to react, by now, she should have sensed something.

" Xiao Xiaoang is very likely Xiao Yan and Su Xiaomeng’s son."

Before getting out of the car, Pu Yang tossed out this conclusion.

Pu Wei sat in the backseat, still digesting this shocking fact.

It’s Xiao Yang’s patience that truly paid off, waiting constantly, finally catching Su Xiaomeng’s weak spot.

At this point, Pu Wei was already firmly convinced of the fact their sisterhood had uncovered; she was even certain that the truth being so tightly concealed meant Su Xiaomeng must have made great efforts!

Since this seemingly simple and kind woman would go to great lengths to hide such a scandal, it further confirms this is an unspeakable scandal. Her concealment was so adept that the sisters didn’t mind helping her make it publicly known at all.

Pu Wei drove away, feeling an unspeakable delight! It was as if she had already crushed Su Xiaomeng under her heels, as if she had already made Yin Shixiu see the cuckold above his head, as if she had already turned the Yin Family into the laughing stock of the entire city...

---------

Pu Yang spent a bit too long in the parking lot; upon checking the time when she came out, she was startled— it was almost five o’clock. When she looked at her phone, Xiao Yan had called her; it was on silent mode so she hadn’t heard it.

Xiao Yan had also sent a text asking where she was.

Pu Yang quickly dialed Xiao Yan back, only to find Xiao Yan coming out of the elevator as she approached the elevator leading to the underground parking lot, running into her head-on.

"Where did you run off to? I couldn’t find you in your office—I’ve finished work and was wondering if I should drive you home?"

Pu Yang put away her phone, looking at Xiao Yan with a light smile, "You’ve been quite attentive to me lately; what did you do this time to make up for?"

Xiao Yan simply chuckled, dodging her question, and continued to ask,

"Let me drive you home. Go to your office and change clothes, I’ll wait in the car."

"Yes, alright."

Pu Yang responded and entered the elevator. Xiao Yan turned around and saw the manila envelope Pu Yang was holding, with the words "Paternity Test Report" written on it...

As the elevator doors closed, even if he wanted to ask, he didn’t have the time to speak.

He waited by the elevator and soon saw a black Porsche drive past him; Xiao Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed. If he wasn’t mistaken, the woman driving and wearing sunglasses... was it Pu Wei?

Pu Wei... wasn’t she supposed to have injured her eyes and refused to cooperate with treatment? According to Pu Yang, her sister should have been staying at home this whole time.

Did he see it wrong?

No, he remembered the license plate of this black Porsche; Pu Yang had driven it before.

What was Pu Wei doing at the hospital? No, more accurately... what were Pu Wei and Pu Yang doing in the hospital parking lot?

At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but take an interest in the envelope labeled "Paternity Test Report" that Pu Wei was carrying.

Not long after, the elevator doors opened again, and Pu Yang came walking out wearing a long down jacket, with a shoulder bag—

"Let’s go, shall we?"

"Come to my place for dinner tonight."

Xiao Yan suggested. Pu Yang hesitated for a moment, "Didn’t you say you were taking me home?"

"Isn’t that the same..."

Pu Yang hung onto Xiao Yan’s wrist, blinking, "I feel like you’re acting weird today..."
