"Everyone feels wronged in this matter, and the one who feels the least wronged is the person who caused all this. Even for a 'perfect victim' like your mother, you can ignore the grievances she has suffered. It's no wonder that some people look at their Fourth Aunt and think that everything is her fault..."

"Who makes her an imperfect victim?"

"Oh, I was wrong, Xu Chengyan, you are not your mother's biological child. To be precise, your fourth aunt has no blood relationship with you. No wonder you 'identify' with Leng Shuwen, this is also normal."

……

Yun Jinxian was a little hurt.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

Or maybe she was asking too much.

She originally thought that after that incident, Xu Chengyan had "changed" a lot. He became mature and could consider things from a woman's perspective.

However, it was not until this moment that I realized that Xu Chengyan might have changed, becoming more responsible, motivated, and respectful of women, but deep down, he still felt that "men are superior to women." Maybe he didn't want to admit it, but in some subtle things, he would naturally stand on the side of men.

It was also at this moment that Yun Jinxian suddenly felt how inappropriate it was for her to continue living in the Xu family.

She lived here before because she wanted to be "protected" by Ruan Yaoyao and escape from the power of the plot.

Later...

Later, she got rid of the power of the plot, but she wanted to "get the moon first by being close to the water", so she pretended that she didn't know for one selfish reason or another, and just stayed there.

But now, she feels it's time for her to leave.

Yun Jinxian suddenly wanted to leave, which scared Xu Chengyan.

He is not stupid. Yun Jinxian has not moved out. She said she came for his mother, but in fact, wasn't she coming for him?

There was no need to point out that she liked him, because everyone in the family knew it.

They often went in and out together, but the reason they didn't make it clear was that Xu Chengyan was not sure what he felt about Yun Jinxian. He was afraid that he would regret it if he really stayed with her; but if he just let go like that, he was unwilling to do so.

He even thought about how he would "delay time" if Yun Jinxian spoke.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yun Jinxian didn't say a word the whole time and just "got along" with him in this unclear way, and he was relieved.

He really felt that everything was going well now, and maybe one day everything would fall into place naturally.

"Why do you want to move out so suddenly? Aren't you living well in our house?"

Xu Chengyan blocked Yun Jinxian's door, determined to get an answer.

Yun Jinxian's suitcase was already opened and placed on the ground. Seeing him standing by the door, she sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry to bother your family for so long. It's not convenient for a girl like me to live outside all the time. If someone sees us, they might think we're having an affair. It would be terrible if people misunderstood."

"What misunderstanding is there? I don't have anyone I like." When talking about "someone I like", Xu Chengyan's gaze fell on Yun Jinxian, and he had a feeling of "wanting to speak but being shy".

Yun Jinxian avoided his gaze and said, "Even if you don't have someone you like now, what about in the future? Besides, I'm a girl, and I will have someone I like in the future. I don't want him to 'misunderstand' me."

Xu Chengyan was stunned for a moment: "You have someone else you like? When? How come I don't know?"

"I didn't say now, I said later..."

"But... isn't it me that you like?" After hesitating for a moment, Xu Chengyan still said this.

He felt that if he didn't speak up, someone would run away.

Ruan Taihe and that guy were the ones who "ran away" like this, and he didn't want to end up like that guy.

"But, don't you dislike me? Since you don't like me, it's not good for me to keep pestering you. So let it be, it's almost enough, I..."

Before Yun Jinxian could finish, Xu Chengyan exploded: "What do you mean, that's it? Is this all you like about me? How long have you liked me? You gave up so quickly? Yun Jinxian, your love was too short, wasn't it?"

Seeing his reaction like this, Yun Jinxian would have been very happy in the past.

Because the bigger his reaction, the more it shows that he cares about me.

After all, she had lived in the Xu family for so long, and they had spent a lot of time together. If he didn't respond, she would be desperate.

But for some reason, she felt a little sad seeing him like this.

She suddenly realized that he seemed no different from other men.

He would also get angry when others withdrew their love for him, and he would be like a child who would never grow up, greedily taking things from others...

He was not the perfect man she wanted, the one who made her heart beat.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I said? Or did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?" Xu Chengyan probed cautiously, trying to find out the reason for her sudden change.

He thought of something and said, "Is it about that day? Do you think that I spoke well of my fourth uncle that day and you are worried that I will learn from him in the future? Yun Jinxian, what are you thinking about? What I hate most is a man like my father. How could I possibly learn from my fourth uncle and keep other women outside? If I get married, I will definitely treat my wife well like my eldest brother. It is absolutely impossible for me to mess around outside, let alone have any illegitimate children.

I can't let what my mother went through happen again.

After you got angry that day, I thought a lot and I think you are right. I am a little biased in this matter. But I want to tell you that I am not on my fourth uncle's side, but the rules set by this world are like this. My fourth uncle cheated on his wife, which is indeed wrong, but the secular concept is more tolerant. It is considered that a man's cheating is indeed a matter, but as long as his wife and children are not separated, it is not a serious matter..."

He explained very seriously, fearing that Yun Jinxian would think that what he said that day meant that after getting married, he would cheat on his wife like his father and fourth uncle.

He knew it was wrong, and there was no way he would do something like that.

This kind of thing happened once to his mother, and he didn't want it to happen to his wife again.

Yun Jinxian's eyes instantly turned red because she felt that Xu Chengyan actually didn't understand why she was sad.

She said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. I just think it's so unfair. Why is the world so tolerant to men, but so harsh to women? If a woman cheats, she will be beaten, scolded, and killed, and that's all 'deserved'. Nothing is too much. But if a man cheats, as long as his wife doesn't pursue him, he can get by, and his wife and concubines will live in harmony and the family will be happy. I'm very sad..."

At that moment, Xu Chengyan seemed to understand. He walked forward and hugged Yun Jinxian, buried her head in his chest, and let her cry her heart out.

He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start.

She said she was very sad, sad about this injustice. Wasn't he sad too?

His legitimate child status turned into an illegitimate child, and his biological mother turned into someone else's biological mother...

Just like when she "scolded" him at that time, he only cared about his own mood and his own sadness, but never considered his mother's thoughts, whether she was sad or whether she was hurt.

It was as if he was the most aggrieved person in the world.

But in fact, who wouldn’t feel wronged in this matter?

He feels wronged, doesn’t his mother feel wronged too?

His mother missed the time with her own son. It was not that she didn't want to face him as an illegitimate child. It was right to treat him well, but it was also wrong to treat him badly. If she treated him well, it would be unfair to the third child who was replaced that year; if she treated him badly, it would be unfair to him and it would also be unfair to her efforts over the years.

His mother gritted her teeth and accepted him and the eldest brother, which made her feel even more "wronged".

Originally, all of this should have belonged to her biological child, but it was "taken away" by him and the eldest son. Wouldn't she be sad?

No, she would.

Because she would, that’s why she thought about driving them away in her “previous life”, and wanted to return everything to her own biological children. But it ended like that, so after she “awakened”, she decided to “lie down” and no longer take the initiative to “grab” in front.

She "observed" silently and chose another path - let nature take its course, and make whatever choice the child made, without going against anyone.
