two

Li Ge, can you give your father some face and stop making a scene? You are putting me in a difficult position. Aunt Zhang and I have already obtained our marriage certificate; she is now my legal wife, and Qiuyang is your biological younger brother. They are all your family, do you understand? My father looked at Aunt Zhang, who was crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom, with concern and couldn't help but scold me loudly again

I know, but this child really..." My father's tone softened.

His call of "sister" nearly made me vomit all my breakfast out

Who would have thought that the woman known as Aunt Zhang suddenly grabbed me and pretended to be friendly, saying: "Li Ge, hello! I have heard your father mention you a long time ago. He has always praised how excellent you are in front of me. You are truly as beautiful and well-behaved as I imagined!"

I am asking you, aren't you tired of pretending? How? Do you want to put on a facade in front of my father, showing how gentle, kind, and tolerant you are to highlight how sharp-tongued and unreasonable I am? This trick is rather clichéd!

Having spoken, I turned and ran out, not wanting to stay for even a second in that home which had once been so warm, but now was a place where everything had changed.

I am almost amused by what my dad said: "Dad, do you mean that I should thank her for her profound understanding and support, for being a silent mistress, allowing me to live such a good life for so many years?"

Hypocrisy, it is all the same hypocrisy! I let out a cold laugh and mocked, "I apologize, being liked by you is my misfortune."

Li Ge! Dad looked at me with some discomfort, holding his chest, and said, "Could you not be so aggressive?"

I have thought many times about the circumstances and the place where I would encounter the mother and son who destroyed my family and plunged me into despair, yet I never expected it would be on the second day after my mother went to Italy, in the home where I have lived with my parents for over twenty years

A barely perceptible embarrassment, a resentful glance, and... a deeply suppressed anger

"It's nothing, Li Ge is just straightforward and outspoken, and I like children like that." Aunt Zhang wore a smile on her face and did not show the slightest displeasure due to my words

Li Ge, how can you speak to your father like that!" The father, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said coldly. However, perhaps realizing his own guilt, he quickly changed his expression and forced a smile, saying, "You came back just in time; I want to introduce you to someone. This is Aunt Zhang, and she will be living with me from now on. Li Ge... I hope you can understand your father.

"Slap!" A resounding slap landed on my face, and my father glared at me, shouting: "Li Ge, you have gone too far! Quickly apologize to Aunt Zhang!"

I looked towards the newcomer, and it turned out to be Li Qiuyang

I looked at him, then at Aunt Zhang who was at a loss and my father, and suddenly understood the great joke that fate had played on me. No wonder Li Qiuyang said he felt that I resembled him a bit, haha, with the same father, how could we not be alike

Perhaps the moment I learned of my parents' divorce, I should have understood that I no longer had a home

I thought this woman was finally going to be provoked by me, finally going to reveal her true self in front of my father, but she changed into a demeanor of great understanding and said: "Li Ge, you can be angry with me, but I hope you won't blame your father. It's all my fault. If you want me to leave, I can go, as long as you are happy."

"This is just how I am. What? You don't like me bullying this woman? Then why don't you just kick me out!" I said provocatively

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. It is quite normal for Li Ge to not accept it right now." Aunt Zhang wiped away her tears and began to play the role of a peacemaker.

I am reminded of Xu Yaxin again; her kind is something I cannot learn.

Do you think I would believe that a mistress who destroys other people's families, who has been someone else's lover without any basic ethics or morals, could be a cultured and knowledgeable person? You are insulting my intelligence, Zhang Ayi. I glanced at my father and continued, Of course, this tactic works well on scumbags who abandon their wives and daughters.

Is that so? I don't think it's something to be happy about to resemble the son of a shameless mistress. Moreover, didn't your mother just say? I am cute and beautiful, how could I possibly look like you, who are so repulsive? Don't call me casually, I will not regard an illegitimate child as my brother. Throughout my life, I have never been so acerbic, but the series of unexpected provocations before me have caused me to lose my basic manners and turn into a hedgehog. Don't call me casually, I will not regard an illegitimate child as my brother. Throughout my life, I have never been so acerbic, but the series of unexpected provocations before me have caused me to lose my basic manners and turn into a hedgehog

When my dad introduced me, his gaze kept avoiding me. It's a pity that he still feels guilty; I wonder if he ever felt sorry for me while he was cheating.

"Li Ge, you are back?" As soon as Dad opened the door and saw me packing my clothes, he was momentarily stunned, and his expression became quite awkward.

"Not tired, not tired, as long as you like it." Perhaps she thinks I am being considerate of her

Perhaps the term "illegitimate child" struck a nerve with them, as Aunt Zhang's face instantly turned pale, large tears fell down her cheeks, and she leaned against my father's embrace, softly sobbing and reading - picture - book.

Li Qiuyang's tall and slender figure appeared particularly striking at this moment. The two of us stood in silence, facing each other, until finally, it was Li Qiuyang who spoke first, breaking the deadlock

Is that so? No matter how well-behaved and beautiful I am, I cannot compare to the fact that you have given birth to a son!" I turned to my father and asked with a cold smile, "Isn't that right, my dear father?

The searing pain on my right cheek made me realize more clearly that this was no longer my home. I held back my tears and said firmly, "It is you who should apologize"

Indeed, it seems that it can no longer be contained

Li Ge! Do not go too far!" Dad shouted at me, and after he finished shouting, he seemed to feel a bit guilty, explaining, "I just hope that you can get along well in the future and not cause such a commotion anymore.

Li Qiuyang's complexion was not much better either

Li Ge, please do not act this way. Father knows that this hurts you, but Aunt Zhang and I are sincere...'' He avoided my gaze, trying to explain

My careless words also hurt my father, and he pointed at me, unable to speak for a long time

Family? I am sorry, but I do not have such a father, nor will I allow a shameless mistress to be considered my family; I am not that generous. My heart has completely turned cold. From the moment I entered, my father did not ask me how I had been during this time, nor did he inquire if my mood had improved at all. The only ones he cares about are this mother and son.

I no longer wish to stay in this house, pretending to play along with the woman I despise. I pushed my father aside and prepared to leave

You! Your father, in a moment of anger, could not help but pound his chest and shout, "It is all because I spoiled you since childhood that you now lack even the basic respect for your elders!"

Once upon a time, that feeling of heartache was directed solely at me and my mother, and my heart gradually became colder

As I spoke, I glanced at her, carefully observing every subtle expression on her face

Seeing my father in pain made me feel a bit reluctant, but provoked by the words of the woman before me, I couldn't help but shout: "Why was my father in good health when he was with my mother? Why is he unwell with you? It seems you are nothing but a disaster, ruining my father's reputation and harming his health. Therefore, for the sake of my father, you should quickly leave this home, shouldn't you?"

Everything around me is still familiar; I see some old neighbors. Some greet me with a smile, while others are chatting and suddenly fall silent upon seeing me

Li Ge, do not speak so harshly, it is too much! My father, angered by my words, could not help but shout at me

And I am superfluous

Really? You don't mean to tell me that you are truly in love, and that I should understand and bless you both? Tsk tsk tsk, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year, even more amusing than the fact that you've been cheating for nearly twenty years! Dad, let me tell you, this family can have her or me, but not both!

Aren't you tired? Indeed, those who can silently be a mistress for twenty years are not to be underestimated. Such tactics are something I could never learn in my lifetime

Heh, the woman before me is so hypocritical that it makes me feel nauseous

I do not ... ...

He approached me with a smile, making an effort to speak in a relaxed tone: "We meet again. I mentioned last time that I felt we resembled each other a bit, and it seems I was not mistaken, sister."

Seeing my father's sad expression, my mind, clouded by anger, suddenly cleared a little. Just as I was about to give in to my soft heart and escape, a somewhat familiar voice exclaimed in surprise, "Li Ge? It's you!"

At this moment, I truly want to award Yi Tian the title of "Strongest Jinx", as I have indeed become relatives with Li Qiuyang, which is quite ridiculous

"Old Li, are you alright? Is your chest hurting again?" Aunt Zhang looked at Dad, who was holding his chest, with great concern. When she saw Dad shake his head, she felt somewhat relieved and turned her gaze to me, reproaching, "Li Ge, it doesn't matter what you say to me, but your dad's health is poor, and you can't upset him like this."

I looked at him in confusion, then my gaze drifted past him to the somewhat awkward woman behind him. When my eyes landed on the frail, seemingly delicate middle-aged woman, I tightened my grip on my handbag and couldn't help but sneer, "You must not want me to come back, right? Dad, Mom has only been gone for a day, and here you are bringing someone into the house, how eager you are!"

Li Ge, if it weren't for you back then, your mother and I would have divorced long ago. Aunt Zhang has not tried to interfere in our family over the years, but has quietly endured while raising your younger brother outside, just to give you a complete home. " Dad tried to say something nice to move me

From childhood to adulthood, he has hardly ever yelled at me. Today, because of that woman, he is glaring at me with such anger that my heart feels as if it is being tightly squeezed by a large hand, causing me pain to the point of suffocation

I shouted uncontrollably at my father: "You have done such ugly things, and yet you won't allow me to say a few harsh words? Anyway, I have said it, in this family, it can only be either her or me, you choose!"

I think everything in our family has become the biggest joke in the community, becoming a topic of conversation for everyone during their leisure time

"Excessive? Am I more excessive than you?" I retorted
