Ye Xingbei looked at him, words failed her to describe the feeling in her heart. Could it really be?

So… So originally, Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli were her uncle’s sons, her first cousins?

When Ye Xinglan and Ye Xingli took her in, they already knew that they were cousins.

So, that’s why they took her in when she was in the most difficult, most desperate times, when she was homeless?

But… why didn’t they tell her?

Even more, her father died searching for her second uncle.

She even asked her eldest brother to help her find her second uncle, hoping to fulfill her father’s last wish. 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪

Turns out, her eldest brother and second brother’s biological father was her second uncle.

For the past five years, she can often see her second uncle.

Yet, she was unaware. That was her most-beloved uncle by her father, an uncle her father was still searching for, up to the minute of his death…

She looked at Gu Junzhu, her voice hoarse, “Why… Why didn’t they acknowledge me and my brothers?”

Seeing her misty eyes, Gu Junzhu frowned, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He suddenly regretted telling her about this.

But, it was bound to be revealed sooner or later.

Ye Xiaobei had the right to know the truth!

He held Ye Xingbei in his arms and gently patted her, “Don’t cry! What’s there to cry about? It’s simple. When they took you in, they thought you were Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter. They took you in because you had been miserably tormented by Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai.

If you had been Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai’s beloved child, they would have definitely ignored you!

Your second uncle even changed his surname, reflecting his intention to cut ties with the Jiang family completely. Naturally, they wouldn’t tell you their true identities.”

“But what about my brothers?” Ye Xingbei looked up, and asked shakily, “My brother is my father’s biological son! My father died trying to find my second uncle, so many people have said before, my father loved my second uncle the most. Even if my second uncle doesn’t acknowledge the Jiang Family, how could he not recognize my brother?”

“That’s probably because your brothers took the Xie surname, your second uncle felt they betrayed your father,” Gu Junzhu patted her back to comfort her, “The more your second uncle valued your father, the less he could accept his nephews who changed their surnames. Once they took the Xie surname, they became a part of the Xie family. Your second uncle felt they betrayed your father, so he no longer considered them as your father’s sons.”

Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu in shock for a moment, her body going limp. She asked bitterly, “So what about now? Now that my brothers, Brother Lan and Brother Li know that I am not Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter, I am their eldest uncle’s daughter, why are they still not willing to recognize me?”

Gu Junzhu rubbed her shoulder, “Well, that is something you’ll have to ask them yourself… Ultimately, it’s all due to certain circumstances, right? Nobody can do as they please in this world. More or less, they all have their own concerns, and they probably have their own considerations.”

Gu Junzhu gently touched her cheek, looked into her eyes and said, “Beibei, in reality, none of this matters. What’s important is that you know they genuinely care about you!”

“They were perhaps unable to do their best due to various reasons, but no matter what choices they have made, they never meant any harm to you. So, don’t cry, it’s not worth it!”

Ye Xingbei sat in silence for a while, then leaned back onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. She murmured, “I think I understand now…why Brother Lan apologized to me that day….”
