Chapter 26
The atmosphere at the scene became delicate because of Jian Shiwu’s amazing words.
Shen Cheng glanced sideways at Jian Shiwu, seeing the little guy next to him cowering like a little quail, as if he couldn’t wait to escape and burrow into the ground.
The young man's dark eyes flashed with some unknown meaning, and in a deep voice: "We’ll go back and talk."
Jian heard him loud and clear, and he said hesitantly, "Okay."
The crowd still couldn't take their eyes off the two teens, but there were always those who didn't want to be alone and found a way to spoil the mood.
Gao Can wiped her face and said forcefully, "What's with the birthmark, what if you’re speaking nosense?"
Zhen Mei looked at her and said sarcastically, "Ms. Gao, I am not unreasonable, if you think I am talking nonsense and want to prove your innocence, why don't we take Shen Cheng to have a paternity test?"
"......"
As if she had been poked, Gao Chan's anger dropped. She kept quite for a for a long time, then spoke back, "Why should I listen to you?"
Zhen Meilie and Shen Youting were childhood friends and the best of sisters. When Shen Youting died in childbirth that year, she happened to be in another hospital giving birth to Jian Shiwu, and as a result, she did not see Shen Youting alive again. That was her regret.
After all these years, this was the last thing she could do for her best-friend, and she would do everything she could, no matter what the cost.
"You've never had a paternity test."
"Beichuan is much more willing than you."
Ji Beichuan's face was a little pale, from the moment Ji Yuansheng entered this room, he was so nervous and timid that he could not say another word.
Ji Yuansheng was not far from him and called out, "Beichuan."
Ji Beichuan's body shivered at being named.
Ji Yuansheng looked at the child he had raised for more than ten years and opened his mouth to inquire, "You got the identification results, right."
In fact, from the contents of that phone call, the housekeeper's report of Ji Beichuan's visit to his room, and even the documents he saw on the child's bed that day, and the fact that he had personally met Shen Cheng today, all of them were proof of what the truth of this matter really was, but now, he wanted to hear Ji Beichuan's answer.
The body of Ji Beichuan, who was standing in place in his luxurious clothes, was shaking like a sieve, he bit his lips, or shook his head: "No, I didn't get it, I didn't do the identification."
Zhen Mei Li shook her head and smiled.
Gao Can was a little distressed to see Ji Beichuan terrified, just now she had made up her mind to protect her son, so she stepped away towards the outside trying to leave the scene, she cursed as she walked, "You are all crazy, I can't understand what you are saying somehow, I am leaving you to play by yourselves ......"
The bodyguard standing at the doorway stopped her from leaving with one hand.
Outside, a group of parents of students who had come over to watch the farce, somewhat absurd but a good show, each with a slightly different gaze, but mostly with sarcasm and disdain for this Gao Can, of whom they had heard so much.
Gao Can struggled fiercely, "Let go, let go of me, well what right do you have to stop me huh, if you stop me again I'll call the police, hurry up and let go!"
The bodyguard stopped her, but did not cross the line.
The woman's frantic screams resounded through the magnificent hotel and the box was in chaos. In the midst of the panic, a painful cry suddenly came from not far away, "Gao Chan!"
The thin man looked at himself and then at Ji Beichuan, his eyes were red and his tone was full of pain: "Stop it."
Gao Chan stopped moving, her hair falling loose, her breath coming in sharp gasps.
Shen Dashan stopped at the doorway, he supported Gao Can, his voice was tinged with a sigh, "It's been so many years, at first you said it was for the child to live, now he's grown so big, it's time to take him back, the mistake was ours, what kind of life has Beichuan been living these past few years, and what kind of life has Shen Cheng the child been living, he doesn't owe us, isn't that enough? "
Gao Chan tightly pinched him, his eyes were madly insistent: "This is my business, what are you doing here."
The man who had always been a coward and had always listened to her was unexpectedly firm today. Shen Dashan raised his head and looked at everyone in the box, the group of students were all looking at him, including Shen Cheng who was not far away.
Just before today, when he had told Shen Cheng that they were moving, the child who had been treated so badly by hims had not only not fooled around, but had helped him, the cripple, to buy many of the medicines that he could only get at the city pharmacy and that he always took.
In this life, he had already wronged Gao Chan, and he could not wrong Shen Cheng any more.
The man's body trembled a bit, but he still limped a few steps to him and knelt down with a "poof".
"Sir ......"
Shen Dashan's voice was hoarse: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you and your wife, it's all my fault, Beichuan is... really my child and Gao Chan's."
As soon as the words fell, the whole room was in an uproar.
Ji Beichuan felt that the sky had collapsed. He looked at the cowardly and haggard man kneeling humbly, how harsh it looked, and snapped, "You're speaking nonsense! I am not your son!"
Shen Dashan heaved a sigh as he knelt in front of Ji Yansheng, in atonement for his sin.
Ji Beichuan, however, looked at Gao Can, his speech was fast: "You come, I say, you come and tell them that I am not your son, you say it..."
Gao Can's heart ached a little at these words, she pulled a strand of broken hair behind her ear and murmured softly, "Yes, you're not, you're not my child."
Ji Beichuan became happy, he said to Ji Yuan Sheng, "Father, listen, did you hear that, she said I am not her son."
Ji Yuansheng looked grave and said to the bodyguards at the door, "Bring the man in."
The bodyguards nodded respectfully, and in a moment, dragged two men in, the two punks had long been scared enough behind them, and now they weren't thinking about money, they had both figured out on the way here that they had to have a life to spend even if they had money to earn it, and they wouldn't be able to get away with messing with Ji Yuan Sheng.
The eldest uncle who was pushed in saw all these people in the room and understood everything.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji ......"
The eldest uncle crawled on the floor: "It's not my business ah, it's really not my business ah, it's all because Ji Beichuan told me to do it, I don't know anything ah."
Ji Beichuan's eyes widened and he almost gritted his teeth, "What are you talking about?"
Seeing that Gao Can was standing next to him, he added, "Gao Can, Gao Can, you have to understand, it wasn't me who wanted to drive your family away, it was Ji Beichuan, he told me to do it, he heard that you were the real mother, so he told me to drive you all to extinction. Shen Cheng… Shen Cheng, you also forgive me, it wasn't me who wanted to go after you, I was forced to do it!"
The words were like a weighty boulder smashed into the tranquil water, sending up a thousand waves.
Gao Can looked up at Ji Beichuan in disbelief, her eyes full of shock.
Ji Beichuan was uncomfortable with her look and angrily said, "What are you looking at me for? I have nothing to do with you in the first place!"
Gao Can's body staggered for a moment, the recent series of blows had made her already fragile nerves become sensitive. For so many years, her spiritual support was her own son, although her life was a failure but at least she had created a perfect, high starting point for her own blood, she lived in self-satisfaction and did not want to wake up, but now it was as if a pot of cold water had been poured over her from the beginning to the end, brutally awakening her.
The child she wanted to protect with all her heart and soul, the one she loved with all her heart, was forcing her into a desperate situation in order to get her to leave.
Her life had failed miserably.
Wrong, it was wrong from the start, a joke through and through.
Gao Chan's throat let out a low laugh, with a hint of madness: "How can you have nothing to do with me, you are the child I gave birth to with half my life, how much I suffered for you, I did all this for you, how can it be okay, you have to thank your mother, if not for me ......"
Ji Beichuan: "You shut up!"
Gao Can looked up at him, tears spread all over her face, but she was still smiling: "Even if I don't say it, it won't change the truth, Beichuan, you are my son, you are Shen Dashan's seed, even if you don't want to admit it, it won't change it."
Ji Beichuan's heart felt like it was being heavily weighed down by a stone and he couldn't breathe, he wanted to retort but couldn't say anything.
Gao Can looked at Shen Dashan who was kneeling on the ground, at Ji Yuan Sheng who was frowning, at Shen Cheng who was looking at her indifferently not far away, she took in everyone's appearance and seemed to recall something, then laughed in a low and deep voice: "Retribution ah ......"
The laugh grew louder and louder, like a wail and a roar.
"It's not the time for retribution ......"
It was as if she was saying it to herself, and to everyone in the room.
Then
The woman laughed, turned around and rushed out towards the outside, so fast that the crowd was too late to react, Shen Dashan was a bit panicked, he wanted to chase, but his leg was not convenient, limping and following in a bit of a mess.
Ji Yuansheng instructed his bodyguards, "Follow them."
The bodyguards hurriedly took orders and ran out too.
The parents who were gathered outside, having watched the farce, were also talking about it, and they exchanged words.
“What a surprise, the child was switched ah."
"That child Shen Cheng is considered to have come to the end of his suffering."
"That Ji Beichuan is also miserable, I heard that Shen Dashan and his family are in very difficult conditions."
The people standing inside the compartment could hear it clearly, and they were all thinking different things.
It was Zhu Meili's voice that rang out, "Everyone, it's getting late, let's go back home."
She looked down and said to Jian Shiwu, "See your classmates off."
"Okay.
He turned to see his classmates off, but when he saw Shen Cheng standing beside him, silent since the beginning, Jian Shiwu hesitated a little, but finally said softly, "I'll be back later."
Shen Cheng: "Go ahead."
After receiving permission, he ran off to send out his classmates.
The parents outside also came in to pick up their children, and soon the entire compartment was empty, extraordinarily silent, with only a few people remaining. Ji Beichuan was closest to Ji Yuan Sheng, and he quietly raised his head, trying to be bold enough to ask his father if he was angry, only to find that Ji Yuan Sheng didn't even give him a look, he was staring at Shen Cheng, and his gaze was filled with complex emotions he had never seen before.
The next second, the tall man stepped up and walked towards the teenager standing in front of the glass window.
Shen Cheng raised his eyes to meet him, those eyes were almost identical to his own, that was a face so similar to his late wife's, closer he saw the teenager's washed and somewhat old, faded clothes, his hands placed at his side had a number of small, tiny wounds, some were new, some had healed. It could be seen that in all these years, although Shen Cheng the same age as Ji Beichuan who was well clothed and well fed, he had suffered a lot in contrast.
"Child..."
The president of the company, who has been in the market for many years and hardly ever shows his emotions, stood in front of this teenager, who was half a head shorter than himself, but his low, hoarse voice had an inaudible tremble: "I am your father."

Ahhhhh!!!! i'm crying huhuhuhuðŸ˜ðŸ˜
ReplyDeletehmm.. this is a cruel way to expose this family's secrets, right infront of the whole class + their parents. i feel bad for ji beichuan. he may have a nasty attitude but he's still a kid.
ReplyDeleteAgree, and MC's mother stepping on it. Like it was someone's family matter atleast inform the involve family than taking a step to expose them and it looks like she want to embarrass JB which is a baby when that happened and he doesn't have much time for it to sink in when he was pressured by the goons and then she step in and expose them. It's hard to be a cannon fodder.
DeleteHe's a child you say?
DeleteA child that would force someone to a dead end just so that he won't be exposed, what if SC is a person with fragile personality? What the little tricks he's been up to before he even found out about the swapping.
He's simply too cruel for his own age.
Try and put yourself in SC shoes cuz I noticed you danmei reader love sympathizing with the villain.
JB is not entirely innocent in all of this, at 14 he is old enough to understand that forcing three people to a dead end like this, basically ruining the life of another child that was also swapped AND was living in conditions much worse, not to mention the biological parents, is not the right thing to do. He is a child, but a vicious, cruel and shameless human being as well.
DeleteI feel bad for him beichaun. Yuan sheng is a horrible excuse of a father whose going to use the fact baichan isnt his biological son to dispose of him
ReplyDeletewhenever i read the “i am your father” line, i always think of darth vader… i can’t help it, ah 😩
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for SC to shout "Nooo!!" like Luke Sky Walker
ReplyDeleteI cried, I want to know how SC really feels 🥺
