GHML – Chapter 34.2: Confession (2)
When Shang Jing reached the cafe, Bo Yo was already waiting for him with two cups of longan jujube tea in front of him.
“I’ve told my father about your amnesia situation and how a single photo wouldn’t be able to convince you of our relationship.” Bo Ya whipped out his phone and played a video before continuing, “So he went through his drawers to find the old household registration permit before he and uncle each went on to form their own families.”
The owner of the household permit listed there was still Bo Ya’s grandfather with the eldest son being Bo Rong and the second son being Bo Peng.
Bo Peng was Shang Jing’s father’s name.
Shang Jing had never forgotten any part of his parent’s personal details. His father had passed away and his mother had forbidden him from finding his other relatives. That was the main reason he chose to stay by He Jiang’s side.
Bo Ya: “We can go for a DNA test to confirm our relationship if you’re keen on it. Please rest assured, we don’t have any ulterior motives for approaching you. We just want to make sure you’re living a proper life so my father can face uncle in the afterlife.”
Shang Jing looked at Bo Ya square in the face. “Why wouldn’t he be able to face my father in the afterlife? And why does uncle think I will not believe you?”
After some thought, Bo Ya answered, “I don’t mean to talk bad behind auntie’s back. It’s just that she sold the family home right after uncle’s death and left the country with you, bringing all of uncle’s savings, the proceeds of the house and money left behind for your upbringing with her. She had an agreement with my father that even if she were to remarry, half of uncle’s inheritance is to be used for your education. Otherwise, he would stop at nothing to get you back from the states… But we lost contact after a few years.”
Considering the old family home was already worth a hefty sum ten plus years ago and the well-off background of the Shang family, the amount Shang Jing’s mother took off with was definitely not a small sum.
Bo Ya: “My father was worried auntie did not carry out her side of the agreement and would spread baseless rumors to you… about my father eyeing uncle’s inheritance.”
Shang Jing’s gaze lowered as he ran his hand along the side of the warmed cup in a daze. He was sure his mother did not mention anything about uncle wanting to fight for his father’s inheritance. She told him he had ‘passed away’.”
And her objective of doing so was apparent. She did not want him to return to China.
But here he was, sitting in a cafe in China.
Shang Jing: “I believe you… cousin.”
Bo Ya smiled. “My father wishes to meet you but he is currently not in S city. He lives in a village now. I told him you are busy filming a variety show and we can arrange for a meeting after it ends. In the meantime, he can watch the live broadcasts.”
Bo Ya paused before continuing, “He Jiang and you…”
Shang Jing replied nervously, “He’s my boyfriend.”
I suppose Bo Ya still doesn’t know about our marriage.
Even though he believed Bo Ya to be his cousin, revealing their marriage would be an infringement on He Jiang’s privacy. Plus, he promised Lin Lin to keep mum on the matter, especially since they were currently operating under the status of an unwedded couple in the variety show. Should news of their marriage leak out to the public, He Jiang’s reputation would definitely take a hit.
What’s more, a divorce was coming sooner or later. There was no purpose in letting more people know about it.

Bo Ya: “I’ve seen him visting He Silan at the hospital a few times a while back. He was really patient with her and seemed like a responsible guy.”
Even though He Jiang’s performance on the show was also exemplary, it was hard for him to believe his actions to be sincere given he was a film emperor.
But he could trust He Jiang’s actions as a family member of a patient.
If not for that, Bo Ya and his dad would definitely not agree to Shang Jing living outside with another man. After all, they were both doctors, would it not be better for Shang Jing to live with them and receive the necessary care?
Shang Jing scratched his cheek.
Is Bo Ya praising my taste in guys?
Sorry to disappoint.
At this moment, Bo Ya caught sight of He Jiang in his peripheral vision. The latter was standing four to five meters away from the cafe window, staring at him with the alert eyes of someone looking at a child kidnapper.
“If someday He Jiang mistreats you, you’re welcome to live with me.”
Shang Jing: “Mm.”
He Jiang who almost lost his wife: “…”
He was waiting at the gate for Shang Jing’s arrival when Lin Lin informed him of the latter’s detour to meet Bo Ya.
Like Lin Lin, he was worried the matter was a scam and Shang Jing would fall for it. Hence, without another word, he hopped back into his car and rushed to their meeting location as fast as he could.
Shang Jing had told him before that he did not have any kin in the country. That was why he decided to take him in when he approached him for help after the accident.
Fine… He Jiang admits, even if Shang Jing’s kins were littered all over S City, he would still never let go of his ex-boyfriend who presented himself at his doorstep.
On the road, he got someone to do a background check on Bo Ya which proved to be a relatively easy task, especially since there was only one officer who sacrificed himself on the job fifteen years ago.
The senior members of He Jiang’s information system themselves could still remember the family members of Bo Peng and could confirm Bo Ya’s identity as Shang Jing’s cousin.
It was with this confirmation did he choose not to interrupt their conversation and stood by the side to watch them.
But when he saw a resemblance of his name appearing on their lips, nervousness pulsed through him.
It was the hollowness of someone who was not protected by a legal marriage certificate. If Bo Ya was adamant on whisking Shang Jing away, he would not have any grounds to convince Shang Jing to stay.
