Other than the fact that he was not his mother's biological son, he could not think of any other reason.

Xiao Ling originally only asked angrily, but he noticed that after he asked that question, the living room instantly fell into a deathly silence.

One second!

Two seconds!

One minute!

Five minutes passed, and still no one had any intention of talking.

Xiao Ling's heart suddenly thumped, could it be that he guessed right!

His gaze was fixated on Xiao Guo Qiang and Xiao Mu, and then shifted from the two of them to the old man and Xiao Guo Zheng's wife, only to see them dodging his gaze. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xiao Mu once again.

"No matter what the reason is today, mother, I just hope that you won't lie to me!"

Xiao Mu's mouth moved, "I …"

"You shut up!" The old man berated Xiao Mu, "Stop spouting nonsense!" He then turned to look at Xiao Ling, "What nonsense are you thinking about? Your mother only treated you like this because she had feelings for Ye Luo. How could she not be your biological mother?!"

"Grandfather, I'm no longer a three year old child. I've been suspicious since a few years ago, but I don't want to investigate …" But now I don't want to deceive myself. There is no mother in the world who treats her own son like this. "

The old man was rendered speechless.

Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Mu again, "So, mother, please tell me the truth!"

"Alright, since you want to know, then I'll tell you!"

Hearing Xiao Mu's words, Xiao Guo Qiang immediately pulled on her arm, and said anxiously, "Don't hurt your son's heart!"

The Xiao Mu couldn't care so much, this secret had been pressing on her heart for far too long. She pushed Xiao Guo Qiang's hands away, "I must tell him everything today, lest he thinks me to be a malicious mother!"

Xiao Mu stood in the great hall and said word by word, "You, are indeed not the biological son of your father and I!"

Xiao Ling's heart sank, and pursed his lips.

His guess... It was right!

Even though he had guessed this possibility, his mother's words still made his heart ache. This was because in the past ten to twenty years, his mother had been very gentle and kind, treating him very well.

Xiao Mu continued to speak, "Your father and I had been married for many years, but we had no children. At that time, there were no males in the family, so your grandparents urged us to have children as soon as possible, but when we went to the hospital to check, both your father and I had no problems with it. Your father and I had been recuperating our bodies during that period, and we just could not conceive.

Xiao Ling clenched his fists.

Xiao Mu continued, "When we adopted you, you were less than a month old. At that time, the two of us brought you home, although it was adopted, but your grandparents were still very happy. Your father and I didn't really know how to take care of children, so it was mostly your grandparents who took care of you."

"Then, where are my biological parents?"

"He died a long time ago!" Xiao Mu said without a care, "Your biological father was working outside when you were born less than ten days ago, and in the end, he was smashed to death. When your biological mother heard the news, before he was born, he was already sick, and soon passed away. Your biological parents' family conditions were not good, and you didn't have many relatives or friends, so no one was willing to take care of you, so she sent you to the orphanage."

Originally … That's it...

Xiao Ling's heart suddenly ached, "In my memories, you and Father clearly treated me very well …"

"That's right, you still have feelings after raising a small animal for a long time, not to mention raising a child. Your father and I really do have feelings for you, and you are very dependent on us, very attached to us. But then, I got pregnant... "

Xiao Ling suddenly raised his head and looked towards the Xiao Mu.

How come he never knew that his mother had children!

When Xiao Guo Qiang saw this, he immediately grabbed her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Don't be sad, that period of time is all gone."

Xiao Mu wiped off his tears and looked at the old man with hatred, "Your father and I became pregnant when you were two and gave birth to a girl when you were three. After the child was born, perhaps it was just a coincidence, but at that time, many bad things happened in the family. Your grandmother was very superstitious, thinking that the child brought bad luck to the family, so she forced me and your father to send the child away. She also said that if we didn't send her off, she would send it herself. If she did, she wouldn't tell us where she sent it.

Xiao Mu covered his face and said in a low voice, "After my own child was born, only then did I know how it felt to be a mother. I really wanted to give her the best thing in the world, and as long as I saw her, my heart would be very calm and gentle. At that time, your father and I were afraid that we would never know where our child was.

Xiao Ling suddenly thought of something, and looked towards the room upstairs.

He was three years younger!

It's a girl!

It was exactly the same as Ye Luo's situation!

When Xiao Mu saw Xiao Ling's reaction, the corner of his mouth lifted indifferently, "Looks like you've thought of it. That's right, Ye Luo is the biological child of your father and I! In the past, we were afraid that Ye Luo would be wronged, so no matter how much we thought about it, we didn't want to send her to the orphanage, so we gave her to a friend of ours. A husband and wife with no children to take care of her. Later … "I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but after Ye Luo left, the luck at home got even better. Your grandma said that she gave her child to the right person, but she didn't know that my heart was bleeding!"

"Ye Luo's adoptive parents had a poor family, and your father and I had been helping them secretly for the past few years. When your grandmother passed away, the two of us wanted to bring Ye Luo back, but Ye Luo's adoptive parents had a deep affection for her and didn't agree to it until fourteen years ago when both her adoptive parents died due to accidents. We brought Ye Luo back home, and we wanted to tell her everything, but we were afraid that she couldn't take it. Later on, when we were a little closer to Ye Luo and wanted to speak up for her, your grandfather didn't agree. "

Xiao Ling pursed his lips. She didn't need to ask him to roughly guess the reason.

"Your grandfather might have hurt you, so no matter what your father and I say, we just don't agree to let Ye Luo's identity be revealed, all the way until now!"
