Chapter 1096: Should Xiao Ai Know?

After a long time, when Jian Changsheng’s figure completely disappeared from his sight, Jian Yu’s emotions gradually calmed down.
Feeling that his mother was still crying, Jian Yu lowered his head and hugged Wang Yunmei tightly. His relaxed body had some warmth, as if he was trying his best to comfort his uneasy mother.
Wang Yunmei immediately broke down in tears. Thousands of emotions mixed in her heart, but in the end, they only turned into an apology.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
Wang Yunmei buried her head in her son’s chest and repeated these words over and over again. It was as if she was saying them to her son, and also to herself.
“Mom, you did nothing wrong!” Jian Yu’s eyes turned sour. He comforted his mother in a soft tone. “Don’t apologize…”
Jian Yu thought of the first time he saw Jian Changsheng. It had been a few months since he appeared in front of his mother again. In order to protect him and his sister, his mother faced all of this alone.
If he had not accidentally found out about this matter today, with his mother’s personality, he would probably never have had the chance to know the truth, let alone know that his biological father was still living in Baiyun City.
Wang Yunmei cried for a while before finally calming down. Some things could not be resolved by crying. She had to face what she needed to face.
In the general manager’s office, Wang Yunmei was sitting on the sofa. Jian Yu poured her a glass of warm water. Looking at his mother, who looked haggard, Jian Yu couldn’t help but sigh. “Mom, have some water.”
Wang Yunmei looked up at her son and slowly reached out to take the glass of water. Then, she looked at the seat beside her and gestured for Jian Yu to sit down.
Jian Yu knew that his mother had something to say to him. After sitting down, he said, “Mom, if you don’t want to say it, don’t.”
He didn’t want his mother to touch some sad memories. To her, she must have not wanted him or Xiao Ai to know anything about their father. Otherwise, they would have heard something about their father from their mother after so many years.
It was obvious that those memories were not good.
On the other hand, Wang Yunmei chuckled and shook her head in self-ridicule. “Since you’ve already heard and seen him, I think it’s time to let you know some things. If I deliberately hide it from you now, I’ll just be deceiving myself. There’s no point.”
Jian Yu looked at his mother without blinking.

After a while, Wang Yunmei said, “That man just now is your biological father. His name is Jian Changsheng. He’s the current CEO of the Jian Group in Baiyun City.”
Jian Changsheng, the Jian Group!
Jian Yu was familiar with these two names. Although he had never come into contact with the real estate industry, he still knew about the Jian Group. He also knew that his sister’s East Sea Real Estate and the Jian Group had a conflict.
Therefore, Jian Yu couldn’t hide his shock. Although he had seen Jian Changsheng, he never knew his true identity.
His biological father was the CEO of the Jian Group?
“Are you surprised?” Wang Yunmei looked at Jian Yu and said calmly, “It was an accident that I met him back then. It was also an accident that I got pregnant with you.”
He initially thought that his mother would share her and Jian Changsheng’s story from the beginning, but Wang Yunmei only mentioned it lightly. She had no intention of recalling the past. She only said, “When he left, I was just pregnant with Xiao Ai. You were only about three years old and couldn’t remember anything. That’s why you have no impression of him as a father.”
“Why did he leave you?” Jian Yu asked.
Wang Yunmei took a deep breath. “The Jian family asked him to marry a daughter from a famous family in the capital and threatened him with the position of the Jian Group’s heir…”
The meaning behind her words was clear enough. Jian Changsheng had indeed experienced a very painful struggle and choice at that time. However, when he finally chose to leave, the pain and struggle at that time became even more cheap and ridiculous.
Jian Yu frowned and asked in a low voice, “So he has his own family now and successfully got the Jian Group.”
Wang Yunmei nodded. “That’s right. After he left, he went straight to the capital to get married. From then on, I never saw him again.”
“Why did he suddenly appear in front of you this time?” Jian Yu asked.
Wang Yunmei smiled helplessly. “It was an accident. It was a rather dramatic reunion. If not for this accident, I would have almost forgotten about this person.”
Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but think of the scene when she met Jian Changsheng many years later. In fact, half a year ago, not long after she became the general manager of Yaochi, she went into the private room to toast the customers. Caught off guard, the two of them met again.
“He didn’t want to do anything, so he told me he wanted to see you and Xiao Ai, see his two children. I saw him four or five times during this period, and almost every time, it was about you and Xiao Ai.”
As Wang Yunmei spoke, she couldn’t help but look up into her son’s eyes. She pursed her lips and continued, “Mom might be a little selfish about this, but I really didn’t want you to know that he exists, so every time, I would righteously refuse his request.”
“It’s not that I didn’t hate him before, but as time passed, I no longer hate him at all. I just hope that he won’t disturb our lives anymore. I hope he can go missing like he did in the past few years. At least, he won’t appear in front of the both of you.”
“Xiao Ai and I have never thought about our biological father, let alone that he’s still in Baiyun City,” Jian Yu said slowly. He reached out and patted Wang Yunmei’s shoulder. “It’s fine if you tell us. We have no feelings for him. Even if we know he’s here, it won’t affect us.”
Jian Yu was telling the truth. For example, he already knew everything, but when he thought of his biological father and Jian Changsheng, he felt nothing. Even the urge to hit him faded.
Just like a stranger. Perhaps if his mother hadn’t cried tonight, he wouldn’t even have hit him.
Wang Yunmei lowered her head and was silent for a while. In the end, she slowly asked, “Xiao Yu, do you think I should let Xiao Ai know about this?”
“She should know,” Jian Yu blurted out. “Mom, Xiao Ai is far more mature than you think. She’s even calmer than me. Besides, it’ll be better for you if you say it. At least in the future, you won’t be on tenterhooks because of this.”
“Besides, the Jian Group and East Sea Real Estate are both real estate companies. Xiao Ai usually has more opportunities to interact with that person than you. She might find out under some circumstances. It’s better for you to tell her yourself than for her to find out.”
