Chapter 62

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Muyan was so surprised that he sat up straight.

Looking at Muyan's shocked expression, Yujing said smugly, "Surprised, aren't you?"

Muyan carefully examined Yujing from head to toe, then frowned as if deep in thought. Suddenly, he seemed to have figured something out and said with a smile, "I get it. You must have a sister, and Yuxi is her daughter. After all, Yuxi looks so much like you; it's hard to believe she isn't your biological child."

"What are you talking about? I don't have any sisters. If I did, would I need to marry into the Su family? Yuxi is my biological child!" Yujing said.

"What? Xiao Jing, I really can't understand this." Muyan spread his hands and shook his head.

Yujing smiled smugly and then said, "Ziying, my nominal husband, has been weak and sickly since childhood. He can't even walk a few steps, let alone have intercourse. Yuxi was conceived through in vitro fertilization after our family reached an agreement with the Su family. Since I chose a natural birth, my hymen was broken by Yuxi, so there was no blood last time."

"Ha ha!" Upon hearing this, Muyan found it quite amusing.

"What are you laughing at? Is this not good? Stop being so smug!" Yujing, seeing that Muyan's chest was sore, started to pinch his waist.

"I get it, my dear, go easy on me!" Muyan immediately begged for mercy.

"Who is your wife?" Yujing pinched him again, but felt a sweet satisfaction in her heart.

Muyan hugged her and said softly, "You are Yuxi's mother, and I am Yuxi's father. If we are the parents of the same child, aren't we husband and wife?"

"You're just her godfather! You're full of nonsense!" Yujing declared again.

"Xiao Jing, I've said before that with your personality, you wouldn't trade your happiness. I've heard you talk about your father before, and he seemed to love you very much. Now I know that your former husband was only a nominal husband. I don't understand why you agreed to such a deal," Muyan said, puzzled.

Hearing Muyan ask this again, Yujing fell silent for a moment, a bitter expression appearing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Muyan's heart ached. He patted Yujing's shoulder and said softly, "I shouldn't have asked. If you don't want to talk about it, don't."

"No, Muyan. We weren't at this point before, but now that we are, you should know."

Yujing did not accept Muyan's kindness and leaned back against his chest, carefully avoiding his wound. She then began, "My father has always been very good to me, very respectful. I have always loved him. If things had gone normally, I would have graduated from medical school and become a doctor, and then married someone I liked. But what I never expected was that my father, behind my mother's back, had a mistress and even a son."

Hearing that her father had a mistress, Muyan felt a bit awkward, as he himself was involved with three women.

Yujing didn't notice Muyan's awkwardness and continued, "Actually, my father loves my mother very much. Even though my mother is almost fifty, she still looks very beautiful. A few years ago, before that incident, she looked like a woman in her thirties. When we were together, we looked more like sisters than mother and daughter. Unfortunately, my father was at the peak of his power at that time. Sometimes, even if he didn't want to, he could still fall into a trap if others set it up."

"One time, my father, due to work, drank a bit and was a little drunk. He rested in a hotel and somehow ended up in bed with a waitress. My father thought it was a setup, but no one came to him for days, so he thought it was over. However, about a month later, the girl who slept with him came to him with a pregnancy test report. My father calculated the dates and realized it was indeed from that time. Reluctantly, he took care of her privately."

"If it was just that, it wouldn't be serious enough to trade your happiness!" Muyan asked, puzzled.

Yujing sighed, "Actually, my father did fall into a trap, but it was a trap set by that woman, or that waitress, alone. So my father thought he was just drunk and had wronged her, and naturally, he was willing to take responsibility and take care of her. When she gave birth to a son eight months later, he naturally loved her even more. After giving birth to the son, the woman finally showed her true colors and started to constantly ask my father for favors."

"My father felt guilty towards her and, with his love for the son, always satisfied her. The woman's demands grew larger, and my father felt he couldn't meet them. Since he was still a relatively clean official with no substantial assets, he, in what he thought was a sure thing, used a large sum of money from the government's poverty alleviation fund to invest, hoping to make a profit and return the money. Unfortunately, what he thought was a sure thing went wrong, and he not only failed to make a profit but also lost several hundred million."

"At that time, Donghai City was in a turbulent period. If this matter had been exposed, he would have been taken down immediately. Even if he wasn't executed, he would definitely have been imprisoned. My mother aged ten years in just a few days after we found out. I couldn't bear to see my father's reputation destroyed and end up in prison. So when my father asked if I was willing to marry Su Ziyin, I thought about it for a whole night and agreed."

"The Su family covered my father's losses, helping him through the crisis. In return, my father used his power to benefit the Su family. However, the Su family is very cunning and exclusive. According to the agreement, I and Su Ziyin used in vitro fertilization to conceive a child. If it was a boy, he could inherit more than 50% of Su Qiming's shares. Unfortunately, Yuxi is a girl. According to Su Qiming's will, some shares were given to his clan, and I received 36% of the shares, but with restrictions. If I remarried, most of the shares would automatically transfer to the Su family, leaving only 6% for Yuxi! This has caused many conflicts in the company after my father stepped down. Despite my outward success, I have been walking on thin ice since I became the company president. At first, my father protected me, and later, Shanshan saved my life. Without them, I might not even be alive today!" Yujing sighed at the end.

"You've worked hard. Don't worry, I will help you, and I won't let you suffer anymore!" Muyan promised solemnly.

Yujing listened quietly, leaning against Muyan, not saying another word, as if savoring the warmth of this moment.

"By the way! What happened to that woman and her child?" Muyan asked, remembering something.
