Zhao Youlin’s grow had made the dumbfounded crowd come back to their senses. After glancing at each other, they unanimously started to find a place to sit down.
An Yue and Han Yichen naturally sat together, while Nie Yunfan and Nie Xingzhi took the seat opposite them. Zhao Youlin followed Mu Tingfeng and sat on the left, while An Yue sat by herself on the right.
As soon as they sat down, Zhao Youlin cut to the chase and asked, “An Qi, what do you mean by what you just said? Do you know Yue Yue’s mother? But you clearly told us that Yue Yue is an orphan, and she was left in the orphanage not long after she was born. You have no idea who her parents are.”
An Yue’s expression changed slightly. Her gaze towards An Qi was tinged with a few traces of inquiry as well as caution.
An Qi sighed and answered in a low voice, “I really don’t know who Yue Yue’s parents are.”
“Then…”
“But I did lie about one thing.” There was a bitter expression on An Qi face. “Yue Yue was left in the orphanage not long after she was born, but in fact, she had been in the orphanage since the beginning. Yue Yue… was born in an orphanage.”
“An Qi!” Upon hearing that, An Yue was once again in shock. She did not understand why An Qi would hide such important information from her.
‘she was not abandoned in an orphanage, but she was born there? Then where is her mother? Why hasn’t she seen her since she was born? And where is she now?”
An Qi looked at An Yue guiltily. She sighed lightly and told her those things that An Yue did not know back then.
“Tremember very clearly that I was five years old that year. I had just been sent to the orphanage not long ago. That night, it was raining very heavily and thundering. All the children in the orphanage were very afraid of thunder, and I was no exception. The workers in the orphanage took turns to look
after us, read us stories, and put us to sleep. And then…”
“What?” After hearing what An Qi said, the crowd waited for her to continue their hearts in their mouths. Nie Xingzhi in particular, his intuition told him that what An Qi was saying now definitely had something to do with Yue Ru, who was An Yue’s mother.
“Then, all of a sudden, we heard what sounded like someone knocking on the door outside.” There was a faraway look in An Qi’s eyes, as if she had lost in memory. “At first, we thought we were imagining things. After all, it was raining heavily and thundering outside. Even if someone was really knocking
on the door, we might not even hear it. However, as more and more people started to hear the knocks, the worker of the orphanage went to check it out. And she saw…”
An Yue instantly got nervous when she heard that. Her grip on Han Yichen’s hand subconsciously tightened.
“And she saw a woman with a big belly lying on the floor miserably. Her body was soaking wet, and she was banging hard on the door.”
“This woman is … my mother?” An Yue could not help but ask tentatively.
An Qi nodded. Nie Xingzhi’s hands, which were hidden under his clothes, unconsciously clenched tighter.

An Qi continued, “The worker was shocked. She called other workers over in panic and carried the woman into the orphanage, only to find that the woman’s water had broken. At that time, the woman’s condition was already very critical. Her body was shaking, and her face was miserably pale. If she did
not go into labor immediately, both the adult and the baby’s lives would be in danger.”
As An Qi said that, she paused for a moment. “As you know, orphanages are generally built in remote places, far from the hospital. So the doctor wouldn’t be able to come over in time. And the orphanage had no car to send her over to the hospital. The workers had no choice but to change her into dry
clothes, boil a pot of hot water, and help her deliver her baby inside the orphanage. At that time, the workers in the orphanage had sent us to bed, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the woman’s pitiful look. I couldn’t sleep at all, so I sneaked back there to see them deliver the baby.”
At that point of the story, An Qi’s gaze started to drift away, as if she had lost in memory again. “Blood… There was a lot of blood. That woman was struggling. She was having trouble giving birth due to fetal malposition.”
“What happened then?” Zhao Youlin had already had a vague guess in her mind, though she still could not help but ask to confirm it.
“And then, the woman had an obstructed labor.”
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard the term “obstructed labor”. Women giving birth was akin to being put at death’s door. And obstructed labor would directly kill them.
“Obstructed labor?” An Yue’s voice was quivering, Han Yichen took her in his arms. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “You still have us.”
An Yue trembled. She stared at Han Yichen’s face and looked at her slightly bulging belly. She finally calmed down a little.
“What happened after that?” Seeing An Yue’s reaction, Zhao Youlin felt a little sorry for her, but she still asked the question in everyone’s mind.
“After that… She tried for a long time and still couldn’t give birth to the baby. The workers in the orphanage were nervous, worrying that the woman and her baby would die. So they kept encouraging the woman, asking her to try harder. Finally, an hour later, she gave birth to a baby.”
The crowd was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard An Qi add, “Yue Yue was born safely, but the woman started to bleed out all of a sudden. The orphanage wasn’t as well equipped as a hospital. That woman died shortly afterward.”
‘When An Yue and Nie Xingzhi heard that, their expression changed, especially An Yue, who had finally calmed down because of Han Yichen’s consolation, began to tremble again.
“It’s because of me, that’s why my mother…”
“No!” Before An Yue could finish speaking, An Qi interrupted her loudly.
An Yue’s eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes widened slightly as she stared at An Qi in a daze. She mumbled, “An Qi…”
“T’s not your fault, and it’s not anyone’s fault. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the person who got you into this situation.” As An Qi said that, she glared at Nie Xingzhi as if she was pointing out that he should be blamed.
Only then did Zhao Youlin and the others understand why An Qi would get so worked up when she heard Nie Xingzhi say that he was An Yue’s father. That’s why she said those things.
Nie Xingzhi wanted to argue but found himself unable to say anything. An Qi was not wrong, In regards to how An Yue’s mother ended up giving birth to An Yue under those circumstances, he had an unshirkable responsibility.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was too tense, Zhao Youlin let out a light and timely cough to break the silence. She said, “An Qi, in that case, why didn’t you just tell Yue Yue the truth then? Why did you let Yue Yue keep thinking that she was…” Abandoned by her parents..
