Married to My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin-Chapter 744 The Truth That Can’t Be Faced_1

Ji Yunhuan sent the photo to Su Mother, tentatively asking, "Xu Ruyan, what is your relationship with her?"

"I don’t want to talk about it." This matter concerned the Su Family’s honor. She didn’t want to easily tell outsiders.

Just the thought of that possibility made her heart ache immensely.

Even as an outsider, Ji Yunhuan could feel Su Mother’s inner collapse. She had always thought she had the happiest marriage. Now, the truth presented in front of her was something she could hardly bear.

Even so, before Su Mother went out, she managed her emotions and returned to her normal state.

Ji Yunhuan followed Su Mother downstairs and saw her greeting guests, not showing any signs of her earlier distress on the second floor.

Qi Cheng came over and asked Ji Yunhuan, "Have you talked to Su Zi?"

His voice pulled Ji Yunhuan’s thoughts back. She nodded and said, "Yes, she’s fine, nothing to worry about."

Even Su Mother lost her composure when she saw Xu Longyan. It was only natural for Su Zi to have a different attitude towards Xu Longyan.

Looking at Su Zi, there didn’t seem to be anything to worry about. The one to worry about should be Su Mother, who was forcing a smile at the moment.

Ji Yunhuan always felt that Xu Longyan seemed more like Su Zi’s brother, like Su Mother’s son. But saying it out loud felt somewhat absurd. After all, in this world, what mother would mistake her own child?

Confirming that Su Zi was fine, Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng decided not to stay and cause more chaos for the Su Family.

Su Father was determined to find Xu Longyan. He wanted to get a photo of Xu Longyan from either Su Zi or Xu Qingyang, but neither wanted to betray Xu Longyan, which troubled him greatly.

During dinner, Su Father tried to persuade Xu Qingyang, hoping he could provide some information about Xu Longyan.

Su Mother, who usually supported him, said to Su Father, "If you can’t find him, forget it. A’Liang has his own reasons if he doesn’t want to talk."

Su Father looked at his wife in surprise, guessing she felt sorry for Xu Qingyang. He said, "But if we don’t find him, our whole family will be in danger."

After all, Xu Longyan was in the dark, while the Su Family was out in the open.

Su Father himself didn’t care, but he wanted to protect his family.

Just recently, Su Zi had been kidnapped. He didn’t want something similar to happen again.

Previously, Su Mother had shared the same thoughts as Su Father. But now, thinking of the photo of Xu Longyan and recalling Su Zi’s words, she had a strong premonition that Xu Longyan had an extraordinary relationship with her. It was even likely that Xu Longyan was her child.

However, because Xu Qingyang was there, Su Mother didn’t know how to tell Su Father about this.

Su Mother glanced at Xu Qingyang, recalling the years she had doted on Su Molang and a frightening possibility surfaced—A’Liang might not be her son!

Although she didn’t know where the mistake happened, she had this premonition.

"A’Liang." Su Mother spoke calmly, her expression as composed as usual, showing no sign of abnormality.

"Mom." Xu Qingyang looked at his mother.

He knew that hiding information about Xu Longyan would make things harder for everyone and keep the Su Family in danger. Since last night, he had been struggling with his thoughts—the Su Family had treated him so well. Perhaps he should make an effort.

As he was thinking this, he heard Su Mother ask, "What kind of person is your brother?"

The question surprised Xu Qingyang for a moment. Su Mother always treated him as her son, so she wouldn’t usually ask such a question.

Maybe the recent events had made Su Mother sensitive.

Though he had doubts, Xu Qingyang obediently replied, "He was very well-behaved and obedient when he was young. He did well in school too. But my mother didn’t like him and always beat him, which turned him into what he is now."

As Xu Qingyang spoke, Su Mother’s hands, holding the knife and fork, clenched tightly together.

What could possibly make a woman treat two children so differently? At this point, Su Mother was almost certain of her earlier suspicion. Even if it wasn’t a certainty, it was at least eighty percent!

"What’s wrong?" Su Father sensitively noticed Su Mother’s unusual expression.

Su Mother snapped back to reality and said, "Nothing. I just think it’s too much for a mother to treat her child like that. The child being driven to this point is all her fault."

At this moment, she started hoping she was overthinking. She hoped Xu Longyan had nothing to do with her, that it was all just her self-indulgent suspicion. Otherwise, just thinking about her only son turning out that way, she wouldn’t know how to accept it.

Because Su Mother was talking with Xu Qingyang, Su Father temporarily didn’t bring up Xu Longyan.

After dinner, Xu Qingyang approached Su Father alone. "Dad."

Su Father stopped and looked at him. "What’s up?"

"I can tell you about Xu Longyan." He knew that if he didn’t speak up, things would get worse and more people would get hurt.

Su Father was very surprised by Xu Qingyang’s decision.

Having spent these days together, he knew Xu Qingyang, like A’Liang, was not a bad person. Xu Qingyang had a kind heart, and asking him to betray his own brother was a difficult thing to do.

"If you feel it’s difficult, you don’t have to say." Su Mother’s words today made him think a lot. He couldn’t force his son to do something against his will just to achieve his goal.

"It’s okay. I also want to do something for the family." Xu Qingyang said, "But if you catch him, I hope you can let me see him one more time." He knew that in this world, he only had Xu Longyan as a brother.

Growing up, the two brothers had spent a lot of time together. Those memories always appeared in his dreams, tormenting him.

He could be soft-hearted here, but it would make Xu Longyan’s mistakes increasingly worse.

Although at this point, he no longer hoped Xu Longyan would survive after being caught.

Su Father understood his thoughts and nodded. "If I can, I’ll try."

After all, during the capture, Xu Longyan would resist. No one could predict the outcome, but because of Xu Qingyang’s request, Su Father still talked to the police.

The weather was great today. Qi Cheng had breakfast in Qi Garden with his family of four, a rare gathering.

Ruirui wasn’t feeling well and was being held in Ji Yunhuan’s arms, looking listless.

Qi Cheng was helping Ji Yunhuan cut food. Yangyang, sitting beside them, suddenly looked up and asked, "Mom, can you give me a little sister?"

"..."

Ji Yunhuan instinctively looked at Qi Cheng. "Did you teach him that?"

Qi Cheng innocently denied, "No, I didn’t!"
