Chapter 761: Chapter 765: Gently Persuading
Gu Junzhu tapped his fingers on Mi Junyuan’s name, “Mi Junyuan is from Beijing, and the Mi Family is a well-known family in Beijing. But after Mi Junyuan took Siqi away, for the next nine months, neither Siqi nor Mi Junyuan appeared in Feng City or Beijing, vanishing without a trace. What do you think they were doing?”
Ye Xingbei thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened: “They went to have a baby! That child must be Ah Yao!”
“Right,” Gu Junzhu approvingly nodded, “Look at these two timelines. The Fang Family adopted a child, announcing that this child was the grandson of Fang Haichuan’s good friend. They said, due to an accident, all his family members had died. They took pity on the child and wished to adopt him. They intended to treat him as their own and requested friends and relatives to treat the child as a member of the Fang Family, treating him on equal terms with Fang Yixian. This is also why Ah Yao always thought he was the biological son of Fang Lutong and Yi Xinning before the age of twelve.”
“I can understand that,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “I had a classmate in my childhood. Everyone except him knew that his mother was his stepmother. He was kept in the dark. Most people were well-intentioned and did not tell him about his real mother. Occasionally, some kids used to tease him about it during disputes, but he never believed them and only reported false accusations to his mother.”
“Exactly,” Gu Junzhu nodded, “It’s just like that.”
Gu Junzhu then pointed her to another fact, “Now look here, shortly after the Fang Family ‘adopted’ Ah Yao, Siqi and Mi Junyuan, who had been missing for more than nine months, appeared in Beijing. By then, Fang Siqi had changed her name to Si Yun.”
“So, connecting the occurrences at these two points in time, it can be deduced that Mi Junyuan accompanied Siqi to someplace where they were not known, gave birth to Ah Yao, and then after Ah Yao was born, Mi Junyuan and Siqi gave Ah Yao to the Fang Family, and soon afterward they returned to the Mi Family in Beijing together. Mi Junyuan married Siqi…” Ye Xingbei paused, impressed, “Mi Junyuan really is a romantic, knowing full well that Siqi was pregnant with Fang Lutong’s child, still he was willing to accompany Siqi to give birth… hey, that’s not right…”
Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu again: “Since Siqi and Fang Lutong had broken up, why didn’t she just abort the baby? Why did she have to give birth?”
Gu Junzhu scrolled further and pointed: “Because it’s been too long, Xiao Seventh and their team could not find Siqi’s pregnancy report, but they did manage to locate the Fang Family’s old family doctor and enquired about Siqi’s health. Look, it’s written here that Siqi has been sickly and weak since she was a child.”
Ye Xingbei suddenly understood: “I get it now! The reason Siqi didn’t abort the child was not because she didn’t want to, but because her poor health made it impossible for her to have the abortion. I’ve heard that some women are unfit to undergo abortions after getting pregnant. If they forcefully proceed, they could face issues with infertility or even the risk of death. So, it’s likely that Siqi didn’t want to abort her child, but she was physically unable to, leaving her no choice but to give birth.”
Gu Junzhu nodded, “Correct, that’s what I concluded too.”
“But that’s still not right,” Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, tilting her head: “Fang Yixian is older than Ah Yao, so Yi Xinning should have been involved with Fang Lutong first, followed by Siqi’s relationship with Fang Lutong…”
