Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Gained a Stepson

"Men and women should maintain a proper distance." Si Yu said with a stern face, not allowing Lian Qingyang to get close.

Lian Qingyang widened his eyes and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re too overbearing. It was one thing not letting me get close to my sister before, but now we are biological siblings, and you still won’t let me get close?"

"Besides, my sister and I were together in my mom’s belly before we were even born." Lian Qingyang muttered, feeling speechless about Si Yu’s possessiveness.

Si Yu ignored him and protected Tang Yue as they went back to their room to rest.

Tang Yue whispered, "Si Yu, you’re really too petty."

"How am I petty? Xiao Yang is already an adult." Si Yu said confidently, "If he doesn’t change, he’ll never find a girlfriend in the future."

Tang Yue "..."

In the living room, Lian Qingyang and Zhang Hualian were still chatting.

"Xiao Yang, stay at home tonight, we have a room for you." Zhang Hualian warmly took Lian Qingyang to the room. Apart from Tang Jun’s room, there was a guest room prepared, which although a bit modest, lacked nothing essential.

"Xiao Yang, tomorrow I’ll add some more things. Even though you have a place in Jing City, whenever you have time, come stay here with us. Our family, united and complete."

Zhang Hualian was thrilled with delightful events, not feeling sleepy at all, no matter how late it was. She made the bed and specially brought out newly purchased pillows, saying, "The pillows are new, and I just aired out the pillowcases some days ago."

Zhang Hualian’s gentle voice and her busy figure under the light made Lian Qingyang truly feel a mother’s love.

He grew up with Xiang Yazhi but never felt maternal love. She never knew what he liked to eat or do.

But Zhang Hualian?

The dishes prepared tonight were all his favorites, and with gentle, attentive instructions, she even tidied his room and made his bed herself, making Lian Qingyang feel like he was dreaming.

"Mom, you’re so wonderful." Lian Qingyang marveled, looking at the house, which might not even be a tenth of the Lian Family’s size. The cramped room was smaller than a bathroom, just with a bed, a cabinet, and a desk, very few things, even plain and simple. Yet, the humble and simple room was full of a mother’s love for Lian Qingyang.

"Xiao Yang, it’s my fault for confusingly losing you." Zhang Hualian choked up as she mentioned it.

Lian Qingyang quickly comforted her.

After much effort of soothing Zhang Hualian, Lian Qingyang finally sighed with relief. The saying that women are made of water fits Zhang Hualian perfectly.

Before leaving, Zhang Hualian repeatedly reminded him step by step.

"Xiao Yang, have you talked to your father about your background?" Si Yu came to Lian Qingyang’s room, obviously having changed into pajamas. The plain white satin pajamas were specially made by Tang Yue, with short sleeves and mid-length pants, extremely comfortable and soft to wear.

Lian Qingyang had a set too, but not in pure white; it had starry patterns and was more youthful and fashionable in style.

"Not yet." Lian Qingyang shook his head, having been too excited before to think about it. Now that he thought about it carefully, his urge to tell Lian He intensified.

When he first learned he wasn’t Lian He’s biological son, Lian Qingyang felt lost for a long time.

"I’ll call him."

Lian Qingyang leapt up in excitement, but then sat back down, saying, "No, such a big thing can’t be explained clearly in just a few words over the phone."

"Xiao Yang, calm down. The truth has been buried for so long, waiting a bit longer doesn’t make a difference." Si Yu calmly sat beside the bed, as poised as a pine tree when standing, as steady as a clock when sitting, swift as the wind when moving, embodying the demeanor perfectly.

"True." Lian Qingyang excitedly sat back down, grinning, "Dad will surely be very happy."

Si Yu sat there, his composed demeanor gradually calming Lian Qingyang’s excitement.

"Brother-in-law, did you have something to say?" Lian Qingyang belatedly realized that it was already late, and why hadn’t Si Yu gone to bed, instead specifically coming to see him?

"Do you want to know who caused your separation from your mother?" Si Yu’s thin lips slightly opened, his deep eyes unfathomable.

"Xiang Yazhi?"

Lian Qingyang immediately suspected her.

"No." Si Yu denied, analyzing, "If it were truly Xiang Yazhi, she would have stopped you from connecting with Sister Xiao Yue back then, or at least been nervous and afraid. But none of that happened."

Lian Qingyang thought carefully and found that Si Yu was right. Back when he acknowledged Sister Xiao Yue, Xiang Yazhi was angry and displeased but not nervous or afraid.

"Xiang Yazhi must be just one piece of the puzzle, and the mastermind behind this is surely intimately connected to her."

Si Yu’s words made Lian Qingyang’s eyes light up instantly.

That evening, Si Yu and Lian Qingyang talked for half an hour.

"What did you and Xiao Yang whisper about?" Tang Yue turned over drowsily, having been waiting for Si Yu to return to bed, but he hadn’t come back yet, and she fell asleep waiting.

"I told him to return to Sea City and deliver this good news to his dad personally." Si Yu lifted the thin blanket, lay down sideways beside Tang Yue, and held most of her in his arms before saying, "Go to sleep."

"Such a big matter should be told." Tang Yue murmured sleepily, adding, "But didn’t we already figure out the truth? Hasn’t he guessed at all?"

"I’m sure he has guessed." Si Yu’s eyes glinted, saying, "But whether their result is good or bad, we’ll see."

Lian He hadn’t come in all this time, so Si Yu couldn’t guess without meeting them. However, Lian He wasn’t an unintelligent person, so once the fact that Lian Qingqing and Sun Rou were twin sisters was revealed, Lian Qingyang’s identity would naturally be easy to deduce.

"Wow, to think that you and Xiao Yang are truly biological twins; no wonder you felt close to him the moment you saw him."

"Blood ties are truly magical."

"..."

The response to Si Yu was Tang Yue’s even and long breathing.

"What, Lian Qingyang has become Tang Yue’s twin brother?" Tang Mingli couldn’t believe what Tang Zhengde was saying and thought he was joking.

"Second brother, initially, it was said they were half-siblings. Then, wasn’t it clarified that Lian Qingyang wasn’t Lian He’s child? So how did he become sister-in-law’s son?"

"The most crucial thing is, doesn’t sister-in-law know how many children she gave birth to?"
