Chapter Six: Family Background

  In the living room, Mo Shaokun invited the two of them to sit down on that slightly worn-out sofa and poured water for the guests after washing the cups.

  "Sorry, I don't drink tea. At home we only have boiled water."

  "It's okay, plain water is fine." Tang Yurou said softly, her eyes fixed on Mo Shaokun.

  Mo Shaokun smiled lightly and sat down beside them before asking, "You two seem to be very interested in that ancient jade of mine? However, I'm afraid it's a family heirloom with special meaning to me, so I won't sell it."

  Mo Shao Kun misunderstood their intention, Qin Xiang shook her head and explained: "We don't want to buy that ancient jade, we just want to know where you got it from."

  Mo Shaokun raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them with some surprise. Was he just overthinking his feelings?

  Seeing him silent, Qin Xuan seemed to realize that she had asked too abruptly. She smiled lightly and said: "Don't misunderstand, we don't have any other meaning, it's just that the origin of that ancient jade is very important to us."

  After a moment of contemplation, Mo Shao Kun felt that there was no need to hide this either, so he said: "The ancient jade is an heirloom left by my mother."

  "Your mother... inheritance? Your mother she?" Tang Yuru heard this and was slightly stunned, then asked excitedly.

  As soon as she saw Mo Shaokun earlier, she had already determined that this young man was very likely to be the child of Hong Yue, because they looked too alike! But at this moment, when Mo Shaokun said his mother had passed away, how could Tang Yurou not be anxious?

  "Died, and gave birth to me with a difficult labor." Mo Shaokun's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a hint of bitterness, whoever talks about this topic is unlikely to be happy.

  Tang Yurou's body swayed and almost fell, Qin Xuan beside her quickly supported her and whispered: "Mom, don't be too excited, maybe..."

  Before his daughter could finish speaking, Tang Yurou grabbed Mo Shaokun's wrist and asked eagerly: "Is... is your mother named Mo Hongyue?"

  "Huh? How did you know? Do you know my mom?" Mo Shaokun looked at her with some surprise, although he had never seen his own mother but still knew the name of his mother.

  "Red moon... Red moon she..." Tang Yuru's eyes turned red and tears fell down uncontrollably.

  More than ten years of searching, and it ended up like this. No wonder the Tang family's influence couldn't find any trace of Hong Yue all these years. It turns out she had already...

  Tang Yurou's appearance undoubtedly made Mo Shaokun even more puzzled. What was the relationship between this noblewoman and his mother? Why would she be so grief-stricken upon learning of his mother's death?

  Mo Shao Kun looked at him with a puzzled face, Qin Xuan sighed and shook his head but didn't say anything.

  After a long while, Tang Yurou's agitated emotions slightly calmed down, and she looked at Mo Shaokun with a sorrowful expression and asked: "Child, where is your father?"

  Hongyue has left, she wants to have a talk with Mo Shaokun's father, at least to know how Hongyue was doing after leaving the Tang family, and it can also be considered as giving an account to the old man when she returns.

  "I don't know, I've never seen Dad before." Mo Shaokun shook his head and said.

  "Huh? Then... how have you been all these years?"

  "I've been living with Grandma Wang since I was a child."

  "Grandma Wang?"

  "Uh, my mom used to rent a place from Grandma Wang back then, but she died after giving birth to me due to complications. Grandma Wang took care of me like her own grandson and raised me until she passed away from liver cancer two years ago."

  Mo Shaokun's emotions were somewhat down, and he let out a long sigh before continuing: "I also asked Wang Nainai about my dad and mom, but unfortunately, she didn't know much either. She said that Mom had never mentioned Dad in front of her."

  "You... what year were you born?" Tang Yurou's expression changed slightly as she stared intently at Mo Shaokun and asked.

  "In June 1976, I heard that it even snowed heavily on the day I was born. Grandma Wang said it's because heaven pitied my mom."

  Rumble...

  Tang Yu Ru's mind was filled with a dull thud, she stared blankly at Mo Shao Kun, Hong Yue left the Tang family in November 1975, while Mo Shao Kun was born in June 1976! Judging by the time, wasn't this child in front of her the flesh and blood of her younger brother? The bloodline of the Tang family?!

  At first, she thought Mo Shaokun was the child of Hongyue and someone else after leaving the Tang family. After all, no one knew that Hongyue was pregnant when she left back then, and it was normal for her to remarry and have children at that age. However, this time, although they didn't find Hongyue, they found the bloodline of the old Tang family!

  Qin Xuan, who was standing beside her, also widened her eyes suddenly, apparently she and her mother had the same idea.

  Seeing the two of them staring at him with a ghostly expression, Mo Shaokun felt uneasy all over his body. Before he could even open his mouth, Tang Yurou suddenly hugged him tightly and sobbed: "Child, my good child..."

  "Auntie, what are you doing?" Mo Shaokun asked, momentarily at a loss and slightly embarrassed.

  "Silly child, I'm your aunt, I'm your own aunt!!"

  Mo Shaokun's pupils contracted and his body stiffened for a moment, before he burst out laughing and said: "Don't joke around, how could you possibly be my aunt?"

  Tang Yurou sniffled her slightly sour nose, let go of Mo Shaokun and gently stroked his face, murmuring: "Child, I'm really your aunt. Your father's name is Tang Weiguo, and your mother's name is Mo Hongyue. They got married in '73, and in November '75, your mom left the Tang family, while you were born in June '76!"

  Mo Shaokun's expression on his face gradually solidified, and Tang Yurou's listed numbers left him speechless!

  The scattered relatives suddenly appeared in front of him, which should have been a delightful thing, but he couldn't be happy at this moment, everything was too sudden!

  "Child..."

  "Sorry, I...I need a moment." Mo Shaokun interrupted Tang Yurou's words.

  Tang Yurou opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but her daughter on the side quietly stopped her: "Mom, don't worry, I think he needs some time."

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Mo Shao Kun sat on the sofa as if he had lost his soul, staring blankly.

  Qin Xuan and Tang Yurou, on the other hand, were carefully examining this shabby room again. Previously, they didn't know that Mo Shaokun was their relative, so they weren't very concerned about his living environment. But now that their mindset had changed, they naturally wanted to get a good understanding of this poor child's situation.

  When she saw the half bowl of noodles left on the windowsill from last night, Tang Yuru couldn't help but shed tears again. A few thin slices of salted vegetables were mixed with the white noodles, without a hint of oil or water.

  Just from this half bowl of leftover rice, they can imagine how bitter Mo Shao Kun's life has been all these years!

  After an unknown period of time, Mo Shaokun finally lifted his head, looking at Tang Yurou with a complex expression.

  After all these years, he has long learned to be independent and has become accustomed to living alone. At the time when he needed care and love the most, there was only old Mrs. Wang by his side.

  Now he has grown up and no longer needs anyone's care and protection, but suddenly someone comes to his face and says they are his relatives.

  He can't accept it, really can't accept it!

  "Child, go back to Kyoto with your aunt. The hardships and sufferings you've endured over the years will all be made up for by the Tang family..." Tang Yurou said softly, her eyes red.

  Mo Shaokun slightly dodged the hand that was reaching out to him, let out a bitter laugh and shook his head: "Tang family? Make up for it? Auntie, my surname is Mo! I can take care of myself and make a living on my own, no need for the Tang family to make up for anything."

  This is also thanks to Mo Shaokun's experience in his past life. Although he now appears to be just a teenager, his temperament is that of a mature man in his late 30s; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to remain so calm!
