Yibo looked at him. “Don’t divert the subject! I have to discuss something with you today!”

“About what?” Zhan caught the look in Yibo’s eyes and knew it was over. “About the divorce?”

“I will decide what to discuss.” Yibo’s face turned blue when he heard him mentioned divorce.

Now he wanted to strangle Zhan.

He gripped Zhan’s wrist and pushed open the door.

As a result, Yibo saw Darren standing in the courtyard. He was wearing a white shirt and beige casual pants. His sleeves were rolled up lightly, his black hair soft, and his eyebrows elegant like stars. He looked like a composed gentleman.

Darren also saw Yibo, who was as handsome and powerful as before, but he was so cold and attractive that no one could move their eyes away from him.

The two men looked at each other, seemingly gentle and polite, but actually, they were going against each other, and unwilling to be outdone.

Zhan felt headache when he saw the two men competing with each other.

In fact, he wanted to prevent Yibo from entering the house because he was afraid that Yibo would find Darren at home. Although Zhan didn’t do anything wrong, he was actually afraid Yibo would misunderstand it.

“What are you doing here?” Yibo pulled Zhan over and got close to Darren.

The two of them standing in this courtyard was really eye-catching.

“I don’t need Mr. Wang’s permission to come to Grandpa’s house.” Darren raised a smile, “I am grandfather’s grandson-in-law, and I am not the first time to come here. But this is the first time for Mr. Wang to come here, so let me know if you have anything you don’t know.”

Darren justified being here and he seemed to be the host of the house, while Yibo was the guest.

“No need.” Yibo raised his head slightly. “My wife is here. If I have any needs, he’ll handle it and will take care of me. And I’m also a grandson-in-law of grandfather, and I am the elder one while you are the younger. You should know how to respect the senior, Mr. Jin.”

As for the status Yibo naturally overcame Darren and he was very happy.

Darren was not angry, and he still had the smile on the face, “Mr. Wang, just enjoy yourself. Grandpa is cooking. I’m going to see what I can do.”

And then he turned away and headed for the kitchen.

After he watched Darren leaving, Yibo looked sideways at Zhan, “Why is he here? Tell the truth.”

“He has feet and he’s free to go wherever he wants. I didn’t expect him to be here anymore than I expected you to be here.” Zhan had never thought that both Yibo and Darren would come to the backcountry.

If the village head knew that the noble man of Beijing and Chongqing were in his village, he might be very happy.

Yibo was very displeased by Zhan’s “perfunctory” attitude. He squinted at Zhan for one second, two seconds, three seconds…

Zhan felt uncomfortable, and when he tried to get away from Yibo, he was held tight to his waist by him, “Do you think that’s a good reason or do you think I’m easy to be fooled?”

“Zhan, is it so hard to tell the truth? Lingjao has talked about what has happened five years ago, and you wouldn’t even tell me that I am Fei’s real father until I do a paternity test!”

“You also said you would make it up for me, but the result was that you left me a divorce agreement and then disappeared with my daughter… Zhan, my patience is wearing thin. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll ask him. Anyway, I’ll know what I want to know.”

Yibo released his hand and Zhan felt the strength disappear from his waist.

Yibo stopped looking at him and walked to the back room.

Zhan stood still and hesitated for two seconds. “Yibo, I’ll tell you.”

Zhan didn’t want to know what Darren’s answer would be, but it was better for him to say it than for Darren.

Yibo stopped walking and looked back, looking at him calmly.

Zhan stepped forward, his fingers clutching at his pants. “I can tell you, but not until after dinner.”

“Why?” Yibo eyebrows raised his eyebrows.

“There is no reason. That’s it.” Zhan lowered his eyelids and walked past him.

Yibo let Zhan go. He did not press him any further and followed him at a leisurely pace.

Fei’s eyes lit up when she saw Yibo, and she ran up to him eagerly and said, “Daddy.”

Yibo was also very happy when he saw Fei. He bent down to Fei as she came running towards him. “My girl, do you miss me.”

“Yes, I miss you very, very much.” Fei put her arms around Yibo’s neck.

“How much did you miss me?” Yibo pinched her little nose.

Fei hugged Yibo and kissed him on the cheek with her pink little mouth, “Just like this.”

Yibo, amused by Fei’s quirkiness, said, “Then why didn’t you call me?”

“I wanted to call you, but Mom’s cell phone fell into the water and broke.” Fei looked sad, “And grandfather doesn’t have a cell phone. I can’t remember the number so I can’t use the landline.”

“So I kept praying for my father to come to me and my mother. I had a dream about you last night, but I didn’t expect my father to come today. Dad must have felt my wish, right? There is an old saying that the mind something… mind….”

“Mind acts upon mind.” Yibo said.

“Yes, yes, that’s it. Dad is so great! Were you a straight-A student before?” Fei looked at Yibo with adoration.

“Not bad.” Yibo wasn’t too proud. “You are my daughter, of course you are excellent, too.You have all my good genes.”

“Fei, time for dinner.” Zhan called to her.

By this time, dishes and bowls had been set on the table in the main room, and Zhan was setting chopsticks.

“Dad, let’s have dinner in the main room.” Fei wanted to get down.

“I take you there.” Yibo walked over with Fei in his arms.

Grandpa and Darren came out of the kitchen and went to the main room, Grandpa looked at Zhan with puzzled eyes when he saw a strange man in the house and held Fei in his arms.

“Grandpa, this is my father.” Fei introduced Yibo to grandpa, “Dad, this is Grandpa. You must go after Mom and call him Grandpa.”

Yibo seated Fei on a stool and then said respectfully, “Nice to meet you, Grandpa. I am Wang Yibo, Zhan’s husband, Fei’s father and your grandson-in-law.”

“So you are Fei’s father.” Grandfather looked carefully at Fei and then at Yibo, and found that they were really alike. “Fei looks like you.”

“Sure enough.” Yibo was proud of that.

“This is your first visit to the country, right?” Grandpa could see that Yibo was a noble living in the city just like Darren. His bearing and temperament showed his unusual status.

“Yes, but I will come here again… I will come here often in the future. I just hope Grandpa won’t mind it.” Yibo was eloquent, and said sincerely.

“Of course not. Welcome to come here often.” Grandpa called to Yibo, afraid of slighting him, “Yibo, I’ll call you Yibo. Take your seat. And Darren, you too.”

“You too, Grandpa.” Both Yibo and Darren respected the elders.

When Grandpa saw that they were not going to sit down, he had to sit down himself, then both of them and Zhan seated themselves.

Zhan and Yibo sat on both sides of Fei, while Yibo and Darren sat on grandfather’s left and right.

“It is the first time Yibo came here. Just make yourself at home, Darren, you too. There is nothing to entertain you, and these are some simple dishes.” Grandpa looked at the dishes on the table and felt he hadn’t treated them well.

“We’ll eat whatever you eat, Grandpa.” Darren comforted him.

“Grandpa, there is meat and vegetables here, and wine is a good match with the dishes.” Yibo looked at Grandpa, “Do you drink?”

Grandfather nodded, “I don’t have any hobbies, except work and a drink to relieve my fatigue.”

“Then I’ll have a drink with you tonight.” Yibo turned to Zhan and said, “Zhan, go and get the wine.”

“I made that wine myself. Would you drink it?” Grandfather pointed to the wine on a cabinet in the corner of the main room.

The glass bottle was filled with red dates, wolfberries and ginseng, and the liquor had turned yellow.

“Any wine will do.” Yibo said.

Zhan went to get the wine. He took two glasses and handed them to Yibo.

Yibo put one glass in front of Grandpa while the other one in his hand, He looked at Darren and smiled, “Darren, we rarely stay together. Since we’ve come here, how about we accompany grandpa to drink?”

“Of course I’d love to.” Darren did not expect that Yibo would change his address in front of grandfather.

Yibo gave the glass of wine to Darren and then asked Zhan to get another one.

Yibo and Darren toasted to Grandpa and then they drank first.

Grandfather was delighted, and took a sip. “This house hasn’t been this lively since your grandmother left. She’ll be happy to see them. Both of her grandchildren are married, and she has such good grandsons-in-law. It’s such a delight to have a drink with you.”

“Grandpa, Zhan and I will come to visit you every year and keep you company. Let me toast.” Yibo raised his glass again and emptied it in one gulp.

“Dad, and me.” Fei was angry at being forgotten by Yibo.

Yibo felt sorry and caressed Fei’s head, “I’m sorry. Of course you have to be with us.”

“You only have Mom in your eye. I am nobody. Dad, you are biased.” Fei saw through Yibo, “You love Mom more than me.”

“Fei, don’t talk nonsense.” Zhan warned Fei with reproachful gaze not to go too far, but his face still flushed with shyness.

Darren was here, and it was inappropriate for kids to say this.

“You are wronging me. I love mother but I love you more.” Yibo looked up at Zhan, whose skin was slightly red and very pretty. “If you don’t believe me, ask Mom.”

Zhan stared at Yibo, who was still making troubles, but that look was more like coquetry in the eyes of both Yibo and Darren.

Seeing that the family of three was so lovely and sweet, Darren felt his heart painful, which made him almost unbearable.

He could only squeeze hard his knee with both hands under the table, so as to let the physical pain shared the pain in his heart.

He kept fantasizing that if his faith in Zhan five years ago had been strong enough, if he had not listened to Lingjao, he would have lived a happy life with Zhan, and they would have a daughter as lovely as Fei.

But the reality was that Zhan was in love with another man, He was just a passer-by, and he felt himself excluded from their world.

He could only look at them talking and laughing, and he could only bear his regret alone.

Darren’s heart felt extremely painful. He carried the wine and finished it in one gulp.

As the wine went through his throat, he felt a burning sensation in his throat, but it still couldn’t match the pain of his heart.

How he wished the drink would make him drunk, but his mind became clearer and he heard Fei’s childish voice.

“Is that so, Mom?” Fei did ask Zhan,

“How could I know what’s on your Dad’s mind?” Zhan put the food into Fei’s bowl, “Eat your dinner and stop talking.”

“Mom, are you trying to stop me from talking by stuffing food in my mouth?” Fei asked.

“No speaking when you are eating; no talking when you are sleeping. Haven’t you known it?” Zhan urged Fei, “Eat quickly.”

Yibo touched the glass and said to Zhan, “Darren has finished his drink, Fill it up for him.”

“You’d better cut down on the wine.” Zhan answered Yibo.

“Are you not confident of my drinking capacity?” Yibo smiled, “I’ll do it myself. I’m finished anyway.”

“I’ll do it.” Darren actually volunteered to refill the wine.

“Darren, take that glass bottle to get the wine, so you don’t need to run around like this.” Grandpa said.

Darren then took the glass container to take the wine as Grandpa told him. He first filled it for Grandpa, then for Yibo, and finally himself.

Zhan felt headache when he saw the three of them drinking so much wine. They had already drunk a couple of drinks before they even had a bite.

Zhan picked up the soup bowl and handed it to Grandpa, “Grandpa, drinking before eating is bad for your health. You’d better have some soup and dishes before you drink.”

“Don’t drink too much. No one could take care of you when you are drunk.” Zhan reminded Yibo and Darren.

Yibo leaned over a little. “You’re my wife. You will care about me.”

Zhan didn’t want to talk to him and had dinner. “I’ll take care of Fei, and you take care of yourself.”

“It’s all right for Darren to take care of himself, but it is not right that you don’t take care of me.” Yibo looked at Grandpa and put a piece of ribs in his bowl. “Grandpa, don’t you think so?”

“Yibo, don’t worry. Zhan will take care of you. You came here for the first time, and of course he will take good care of you.” Grandpa said to Yibo.

Zhan dissatisfied, “Grandpa, you are my own grandfather. Why are you standing for him?”

“He’s my grandson-in-law, not a stranger.” Grandpa picked up the ribs and put them into his mouth. He ate them happily.

“Grandpa, he bought you off with a rib.” Zhan stood up and gave his grandfather several pieces. “I will give you a few more pieces, alright?”

“Great.” Grandpa was happy. He had never been so happy before.

Darren, like an outsider, looked at them laughing and talking, while he drank alone, feeling very lonely.

Darren was not a good drinker. He didn’t know how much he had drunk. Now he felt a burning sensation in the stomach.

He jumped to his feet, pushed aside the stool, and hurried out of the main room.

It was dark outside. When he ran out, it was barely visible.

“What’s the matter with my Uncle?” Fei looked at her parents and Grandpa.

“Zhan, go to see what’s wrong with Darren.” Grandpa said.

Zhan was also a little worried, Darren was much weaker after a serious illness. He was afraid that after Darren drank so much, it would do harm to his health.

But as Zhan was about to get up, Yibo stopped him and said, “I will go and see it. It’s more convenient for me to deal with this. Stay here with Fei and Grandpa.”

“Yibo.” Zhan called to him.

“Don’t worry.” Yibo got up and left.

He went out of the main room, went to the courtyard, faint yellow light in the corner of the room.

He went right to the corner, where the bathroom was, and Darren bent over, vomiting. Then there was the sound of a flush.

“Are you all right?” Yibo looked at his thin figure.

Darren unscrewed the faucet in the bathroom, picked up water and poured it on his face. He stood up straight and wiped the water stains on his mouth with his hands.

“Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your concern.”

“If you can’t bear it, why do you drink so much?” Yibo’s stern face was softened by the warm light, but his eyes were clear and sharp. “Five years ago, there was a silly boy who sacrificed his innocence to save your life by giving birth to a child for you. Five years later, no one is waiting for you in the same place. Take good care of yourself, Darren.”

Darren’s pale face became even paler after hearing what Yibo said.

He stared at Yibo, not avoiding his sharp gaze.

He sounded like he knew all about what happened five years ago.

He knew it, but it was too late. He was full of guilt and regret for Zhan, But Zhan did not give him a chance to make up for it, so he felt uneasy.

“It is true that no one will wait where they are, but I will try my best to catch up with him.” Darren made no secret of his thoughts on Zhan in front of Yibo.

“You’ll never catch up, bro.” Yibo smiled, “He married me.”

“Then what? If he’s not happy, I won’t leave him alone.” Darren asked him, “Are you the one who can give him happiness?”

“If I can’t, can you?” Yibo said lightly, “Five years ago, you hurt him and abandoned him. Now you are shouting in front of me that you won’t leave him alone? When he was forced out of Chongqing and went to Tianjin with a baby, where were you?”

“You might be in love with Mrs. Jin and hate him, didn’t you? What’s the point of saying this to me now? Remember that you gave up him first. The moment you gave up him, you will never be eligible to have him again. Besides, as he is my wife, you have no right to him at all.”

“Darren, I advise you to go back and live a good life with your Mrs. Jin, Zhan can only be Mrs. Wang in this life. You had better let him go,”

Darren’s face turned red when Yibo scolded him, “Yes, I did hurt him, but now it’s not too late for me to know the truth. No matter he is Zhan or Mrs. Wang, I will be grateful to him. Even if you are Yibo, you can’t stop my determination.”

“Even if it costs the Jin Group?” Yibo said coldly.

“I have to deal with this alone. You don’t have to threaten me with the Jin Group. They have nothing to do with this business. Whatever you do, just target at me.” Darren was proud and unyielding.

“It’s no fun to target at you alone. And who says it has nothing to do with the Jin Group?” Yibo sneered, “This has something to do with everyone in the Jin family. You went away because you think he’s going to damage the reputation and image of the Jin family and the Jin Group!”

Darren was speechless by his rebuke. Although he had the heart to make up for the fault, the damage had been caused forever.

“I just want to make it up to him.” He looked sad.

“He’s my wife. I will treat him well. I don’t need Mr. Jin to worry about him anymore.” Yibo said, “He never wanted you to repay him for saving your life. The best way to make up for it is to stop bothering him. Remember that.”

Yibo finished and turned to leave. Darren stared at Yibo’s back and couldn’t help wondering why he and Zhan had said the same thing.

But he didn’t want to take it. Besides, he heard Zhan mention divorce when Yibo just came here.

If their marriage had been as happy and loving as it looked like, why would Zhan have talked about the divorce.

He didn’t care who wanted a divorce, What he cared about was if Zhan was happy. If he divorced, he would pursue him again regardless of everything.

“It’s not up to you to decide.” Darren shouted at his back way.

“He’ll say the same if you ask him.” Yibo did not look back.

“No, you don’t understand Zhan. What does it mean for him to be able to do this for me? Don’t you understand? He valued my life above his own, or he would not make this sacrifice. And in the hospital, he and I had promised to be with each other for life. As soon as I get well, we would get married. I won’t forget it, and neither will he.” Darren mentioned how deeply they loved each other.

“I don’t know why Zhan married you, and I don’t want to know, but I know it wasn’t for love. Now I just want to make up for what we have missed.”

Yibo’s face finally darkened and his eyes looked cold.

Not out of love? Maybe.

Before that, he had really wanted to let go of Zhan, and gave him freedom and happiness, thinking that he would be fine if Zhan could live a good life.

But then he reviewed the marriage and decided that even if Zhan didn’t love him, he didn’t want to let go of him.

He wanted to give Fei a complete home, and he wanted to trade his sincerity for his love.

He believed that he could do it, and that he could give him happiness.

“Mr. Jin, you seem to forget that you are still married, and Zhan is married. Your wife is his sister. How can you say such things without any sense of shame?” Yibo suddenly looked down on Darren. “I don’t think you deserve to stand with him anymore, let alone give him happiness.”

“The minute I knew the truth, my marriage to Lingjao was dead. She’s pregnant now and I can’t divorce her. But when the time came, I will be free. And I don’t think Zhan wants to be tied to a loveless marriage.” Darren was expecting, “I think God will take pity on me and him and give us a chance.”

“Mr. Jin, you’re thinking too much.” Yibo took him back to reality. “Zhan and I are going to be together for the rest of our lives. You can prepare to be alone. Don’t forget that marriage requires commitment and loyalty besides love. Moreover, Zhan’s character did not allow him to do something against his morality and conscience.”

“And the important thing is that we have a child. So, it’s not me that binds him to the marriage, it’s the child, the duty, and the loyalty. Do you have these?”

“A marriage without love is immoral.” Darren contradicted Yibo, thinking that he was in the way and didn’t want to let go of Zhan. “Fei is only five years old, and children at this age usually follow their mothers. I can treat Fei as my own child just like you, to give her a father’s love and accompany her to grow up. If you can do it, so can I.”

“Well…” Yibo chortled, “If that time comes, do you think I’ll give the baby to you?”

“Why not? Fei is Zhan’s biological daughter! Why do you have to keep her your side? It’s not a gentleman of you to threaten Zhan with a child!” Darren was angry.

“I never think I am a gentleman, but I won’t let go of anyone or anything that belongs to me!” Yibo’s eyes were sharp, “Fei is Zhan’s own daughter, but she’s also my own daughter! Would I give my child to another man to raise for me? It’s ridiculous!”

From Darren’s words, Yibo had guessed that he only knew that Zhan saved his life by giving birth to the baby, but he didn’t know who the baby’s real father was.

It seemed that Zhan did not tell him that Fei’ real father was him.

In Yibo’s opinion, Zhan did not want to hurt Darren so deep, and still cared about his feelings, but he was jealous in his heart. He wanted to let Darren know all the truth, including the child’s birth history.

As expected, Darren was shocked when he heard Yibo say that Fei was his own daughter.

Such shock was deeply frozen in his eyes, and he couldn’t believe it for a long time.

“What did you say?” Darren felt his voice was croaked.

“I said Fei is my own daughter, Zhan and my own daughter.” Yibo again said it out very clearly. “So of course my daughter and my wife would be with me.”

Darren couldn’t hide the pain and chagrin in his eyes, “You are lying to me! I don’t believe you!”

“Why should I lie to you? What do I gain by lying to you?” Yibo asked him.

“You were the one Zhan had a child with five years ago, and you got married three years ago. How could it be such a coincidence?”

Darren couldn’t believe it.

“Well, I don’t know what I can do if you don’t believe that, but what I’m trying to say is that this is what has happened. Zhan and I are meant to be with each other. God brings our family together, and no one is going to take them away from me.” Yibo said with his eyes cold.

“What the God brings you together! Shit!” Darren was so anxious that he swore and could not calm down. “You must have planned all of this. You found Zhan and married him after he gave birth to the child. In fact, you already knew that Fei is your daughter, didn’t you?”

“If I had known Fei was my daughter, I would have stood up for him and protected our child when you dumped him five years ago, instead of letting him be bullied and forced away.” Yibo gently clenched his fists behind him, repressing his anger.

“I regret that I didn’t know Fei is my own daughter earlier. I didn’t raise her since she was a baby, and I didn’t give her the love she deserved from a young age, nor did I let her have a complete family! And you, the Jin family, have something to do with it.”

“I won’t believe anything you say!” Darren still held on to the last glimmer of hope.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s hear what Zhan would say.” Yibo turned around and saw Zhan stood there.

Grandpa saw that they had not come back, so he asked Zhan to see what had happened.

Zhan was also worried about the situation of Yibo and Darren getting together alone. After all, their relationship was not harmonious and they didn’t like each other.

Sure enough, as soon as he came, he heard two men were arguing.

Zhan looked at two men in the dim light.

“How long have you been here?” Yibo’s eyes were clear. “You’ve heard everything, right? Come and help Mr. Jin out, or he’ll think I’m lying.”

Zhan took a few steps forward, and rested his eyes on Darren.

Darren’s eyes met Zhan’s, and he was still suspicious.

It was not that he couldn’t accept Fei. It was that he couldn’t accept Fei’s real father was Yibo!

He was saved by Fei, who carried on his blood, and his survival was half credited to Yibo.

He was in Yibo’s debt, and he didn’t want to be in his debt!

The three of them were really reunited.

They were all his benefactors. He really had no chance to make up for Zhan.

If Yibo were not Fei’s real father, he would have the courage to try, but if he were, he wouldn’t break up a family.

Darren was entangled when he looked at Zhan. He felt that his hands were trembling and his throat was stiff with tension. He was afraid to know the answer from Zhan.

He felt that his heart would be broken.

He had felt the pain Zhan felt, the feeling of being “stabbed” by someone he loved.

“Darren, Fei’ real father is Yibo.” Zhan could only tell the truth.

“How could it be?” Darren breathed heavily. “Isn’t there anyone else?”

“No.” Zhan answered Darren calmly, which was in obvious contrast to his anxiety.

“Then don’t save me. It would be better to let me die than to let me know the truth and owe him a debt.” Darren was kind of giving up on himself.

His rival in love was also his savior, and only Yibo’s blood type bone marrow matched his.

How ironic!

God played such a great joke with him!

Darren had a feeling of desperation.

“No one is stopping you from going to die.” Yibo sneered at his cowardice.

“Well, I’ll give you my life back!” Darren was stimulated by Yibo.

Zhan glared at Yibo, who was still making troubles, and then stopped Darren.

“The Jin family only has you, and your parents harbor high hopes for you. Besides, Miss Carmen is in poor health. It is she who begged me to save you. She would rather lose ten years of her life or exchange her life for yours!” Zhan remembered how Carmen once held his hand and begged him to save Darren when she fell ill.” You are the only son she has. She can’t bear to lose you!”

Zhan had not wanted to mention that Carmen once begged him when Darren life was at risk, but things had come to this point and he had to do so.

He just hoped Darren could cherish his life for the sake of his mother.

“So you made such a ridiculous decision and let me lose you!” Darren clutched his shirt collar.

“Darren, I was the one who made the decision, so don’t blame Auntie. Cherish your life for your parents and love yourself. They can’t afford to lose you again. Just cherish your life and live a new life.” Zhan tried his best to persuade him not to compete with Yibo.

Darren lowered his head slightly, and he looked gloomy.

Zhan, seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, turned to go back to the main room.

Yibo followed Zhan and questioned, “How could you be so cruel to me while you are so gentle to your old lover?”

Listening to what he just said, Zhan frowned and said, “Can you stop being so annoying?”

“It’s not fair! I’m not supposed to be treated like this as a husband while you are so nice to your old flame! I don’t even have the right to fight for the benefits I deserve to own, do I?” Yibo said reasonably.

In a word, he was jealous.
